Torn up

Chapter 7

Dianna's POV
The next morning I got up bright and early. It was Wednesdays so I got ready for my morning jog. I pulled on some blue leggings and a white top. I headed out the door quietly trying not to wake anyone. As I stepped into the hallway I started. Just laps, nothing special. Doing this usually helps me learn where my classes are. As I was passing the hallway with the prefects bathroom I stopped and smiled a bit until I felt someone tug my arm. I couldn't see who it was but they pulled me into a dark closet.

"Did you miss me?" I heard a familiar voice.
"Great way to greet someone." I said laughing but I was cut off by his lips crashing into mine. We had been away from each other for one night and it made this all more enjoyable. I pulled back to try and make conversation but he kept pulling me back in. I pulled his head back and he stopped.
"Getting all clingy?" I said to him with a slight smile.
"Only for you." He said trying to lean back in. I blocked his face with my hand.
"We can't just sneak around like this Tom." I said to him
"Why not?" He pouted.
"It wouldn't be fair to my friends or your brothers. They deserve a chance." I said looking back at him with a smile.
"Well I don't care about them so..?" He said
"But I do." I continued to walk out the door but he pulled me back and shut the door that I had opened. He slithered his hands around my hips and brought himself closer. I looked up at him and he was staring at me. How could one do this to you. I wouldn't let myself choose Tom before the others got to know me.
"Tom, we can't." I said trying to squirm away. He just gripped me tighter and leaned close to my ear.
"Yes we can. Forget about my brothers for a couple of minutes." He whispered giving me chills.

"Just this once, we can't keep doing this." I told him before he kissed me.
"We'll see." He said in between lingering kisses. We were there for awhile. Thank god I got up early. I'm sure people will be getting up soon. I worried that someone would find us, but then again it was still 6:30 ish.
"You say this makes it hard on you, but you have no idea what it's like for me." He told me while taking a breath.
"What do you mean?" I asked with one of my hands on the side of his head and the other holding his.
"You think I can just kiss someone like that, then watch them choose between my brothers. It makes me worried. No one will be as good as me, but you might think otherwise." He said. He sounded as if he was nervous.
"You could literally get any girl in this school, if you are looking for a companion just look around the corner." I said almost laughing.
"Not just anyone, Dianna."
"Ok...? Then I don't know what to tell ya." I said to him before I leaned in again. Once I touched his lips he let go of my hand and wrapped it around my lower back. They were always so passionate. I checked the clock and realized it was almost time for breakfast.
"I got to go." I said leaving.
"Skip breakfast, this will be better anyways." He said holding my hand.
"People will get suspicious-" He spinned me around.
"So let them."
"No Tom, I'll see you later." I kissed his hand then walked out of the closet making sure no one saw me. I walked to breakfast still in my running clothes, I went to go sit next to Pansy.
"Hey, how was last night? Did the bathing suit impress?" She asked as I sat down.
"Um-" I was about to say but Theo came up to me.
"Hey Dianna, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later?" He asked me.
"Uh sure Theo, sounds nice."
He walked away and I saw him talking to Zachary.
"That was awkward." Pansy said laughing.

I was quite excited to hangout with Theo. We hadn't gotten to talk much since I got here. Hopefully just as friends, lord knows I need another guy to add to the pot. Pansy and I talked about random things until it was time for first class. I saw Tom and he blew a kiss to me. I waved back. I then saw Zachary reading and went over to him.

"Hey Zach, how are you doing?" I asked him placing my hand on his shoulder.
"I'm doing pretty good, what about you?" He said turning to look at me. I sat down next to him.
"I think I am doing good, it's just you and your brothers are making my mind stressed." I said to him.
"I like that you're giving us all a chance." He said with a smile.
"It's only fair." I responded.
