"What did you just call me?"
I was falling. I was falling. I was falling. I was falling into a pit of my own embarrassment.
"It was a joke María." I'm such a dork.
"Oh ok, thank god!" she gasped out. Hmm.
"Well, let's keep going, I don't want you to miss too many classes today," I pointed out to her.
"I have a better idea than going to class," she grinned at me.
~María POV~
I led the way as Techno trailed behind me. We began to descend the hill; I went first.
The feeling of being comfortable is something I cherish deeply.
I was chatting with Techno about his classes when my foot got caught underneath a branch, thus causing me to trip.
I felt myself start to fall. I was falling.It almost felt like slow motion, the falling that is. I could feel my shock rise in my body at a fast rate. Then suddenly...
I stopped falling.
Something caught me mid fall. I felt arms wrap around my waist... holding me. I looked up and saw Techno's face above my chest with a startled look. Whoa.
My eyes met his.
For no reason at all, my legs lost control. I felt myself fall back more. Techno quickly tightened his grip on my body and pulled me closer. Closer.
He began to lift me up. I then grabbed him and clung to his arm for support.
I once felt that my happiness was stolen on that night.
I was finally back on my feet. I let go of his arm.
"You need to be more careful."
"It was the branch's fault though," I said turning to point at the branch.
"Yeah sure, blame the branch."
"It was the branch's fault Techno!"
"Yes I'm sure it was."
But today has shown me that I can still find trust in people.

He still didn't know where I was taking him.
We finally got to the parking lot of the school.
"So we are going back to class?" he looked at me confused as I walked towards the building.
I walked into the lobby and picked up my bag that I had sat down earlier.
I smiled at the ladies in the office and waved. They waved back at me as I turned to walk out the door. I'm sure they don't mind me skipping.
"Nope," I grabbed his wrist and walked out of the parking lot and onto the sidewalk.
"HEHH?"
