Her hand touches ue slips inside her ue

She keeps her hand onit to the back ofit toit to touch any other part of her The only thing we explore is each other’sanother sound We kiss until the alarm sounds off onWe don’t even hesitate We kiss for another solid s in the hallway outside and suddenly lockers are sla about our moment is stolen from us by all the inconvenient external factors of school

I still ainst hers, then slowly pull back

"I have to get to class," she whispers

I nod, even though she can’t see ins to scoot out from beneath me When I roll onto my back, I feel her move closer to me Her mouth briefly meets mine one more time, then she pulls away and stands up The second she opens the door, the light fro my arm over my face

I hear the door shut behind her and by the tiain

I sigh heavily I also remain on the floor until my physical reaction to her subsides I don’t knoho the hell she was or why the hell she ended up here, but I hope to God she comes back I need a whole hell of a lot more of that

She didn’t come back the next day Or the day after that In fact, today marks exactly a week since she literally fell into my arms, and I’ve convinced myself that maybe that whole day was a drea zo on two hours of sleep, I don’t know that I would have been able to iine that My fantasies aren’t that fun

Whether she comes back or not, I still don’t have a fifth period and until so out in here I actually slept way too ht, so I’m not tired I pull ins to open

"Are you in here, kid?" I hear her whisper

My heart immediately picks up pace and I can’t tell if it’s that she caht is on and I’m not really sure I want to see what she looks like when she opens this door

"I’m here," I say

The door is still barely cracked She slips a hand inside and slides it around the wall until she finds the light, then she flicks it off The door opens and she slips into the room, then quickly shuts it behind her

"Can I hide with you?" she asks Her voice sounds a little different than last ti today," I say

I feel herand can feel that I’m seated on a countertop, so she feels around me until she finds a clear spot She pushes herself up beside me and takes a seat next to me

"I’m not sad today," she says, her voice much closer this time

"Good" It’s quiet for several seconds, but it’s nice I’m not sure why she calad she’s here

"Why were you in here last week?" she asks "And why are you in here now?"

"Schedule ned a fifth period, so I hide out and hope adhs "Sain for a e of the counter and every tiers barely touch mine I eventually just move my hand on top of hers and pull it onto rab her hand like this, but we pretty ht last week so holding hands is actually reversing a base

She slides her fingers between ers over hers "This is nice," she says "I’ve never held anyone’s hand before"

I freeze

How the hell old is she?

"You’re not in junior high, are you?"

She laughs "God no I’ve just never held anyone’s hand before The guys I’ve been with seeet this part But it’s nice I like it"

"Yeah," I agree "It is nice"

"Wait," she says "You aren’t in junior high, are you?"

"No Not yet," I say

She swings her leg out to the side and kicks h

"This is kind of weird, isn’t it?" she asks

"Elaborate Lots of things could be considered weird, so I’ to"

I feel her shoulders shrug "I don’t know This Us Kissing and talking and holding hands and we don’t even knohat each other looks like"

"I’hs

"I’ht now, you’d be on your knees begging me to be your boyfriend so you could flaunt hly unlikely," she says "I don’t do boyfriends Overrated"
