Following The Stars (UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION!)

Chapter Sixteen

I can feel eyes on me when I walk through the school's entrance. I hear whispers and murmurs about me when I walk down the hallway. People point at me to their friends. This is all because I'm with Tomas. Because Tomas loves me and not Jennifer.

I see Tomas leaning on my locker, looking down at his watch.

"Hey."

"Hey Mia, how are you doing." He smiles at me.

"I'm good. You?" I can't help it but smile.

"Never better." He winks. This makes my heart jump.

"I'll walk you to class." He quickly grabs my books.

"Hey, I'm strong enough to carry my own books." I protest and slap him playfully on his arm.

"I know you can. But I'm just being a loving boyfriend. Remember?" He teases me.

I blush instantly.

He winks at me again. It makes my heart stop beating. We slowly make our way to Calculus class.

We both go to the back of the classroom where Mark is. He greets me with a nod and Tomas with a handshake.

"So, I see you guys are together." Mark says lifting an eyebrow.

No shiz Sherlock.

"Well yeah..." We both say in unison.

Class starts, and the teacher walks in.

"Good morning class. Today we're are going to learn..." I stop listening, because I know we're going over equations and stuff. I also stop listening because Tomas has started to whisper in my ear, and it's kind of ticklish.

"So Mia, I'm thinking of having a picnic today." He says quietly.

I smirk at him.

"Are you willing to accept my offer? I'll cook." I start to laugh but the teacher looks my way.

I turn my head to view Tomas. Oh my gosh he's beautiful. His blue grayish eyes, his perfect white teeth, and his jawline. I can see little faded freckles on his cheeks. This just makes him way too cute.

"Hello Mia, you there? When are you going to answer my question?" He starts to look concerned at my silence.

"What if I say no?" I lean in a bit closer to him. I start to feel like flirting with him just a tad.

"Well, I'll be truly heartbroken with being rejected by my beautiful girlfriend." He says pouting.

"Kissing up to your beautiful girlfriend won't help you. But for your sake I'll think about it." I say teasing him a bit.

"I know you want to say yes Mia. Just say it." He says edging closer to me.

"Well if you insist. I'll say yes just for you." I say, flashing him a daring smile.

"I see Miss Thompson, I will pick you up at your house at five sharp. Be ready." He says while pulling me on to one of his legs.

I can't believe the teacher isn't noticing this.

I put my hand on his neck and one in his hair. He tugs me closer and leaves his hands on my waist. When we're just about to kiss, I hear a throat clear. We instantly pull away from each other, thinking we've been caught by the teacher.

I see Mark smirking at us.

"No PDA in the classroom Mr. Bane and Miss Thompson." Mark says teasingly.

Tomas groans but quickly gives me a kiss on the cheek. I blush.

"Shut up Mark. Just because I have a girlfriend doesn't mean I don't love you." Tomas says blowing a kiss to Mark. Mark pretends to grab it and crunch it up, and throws it to the floor, stamping on it with his foot.

"Hey stop it. Your cheating on your girlfriend. Oh and also I'm not your type and I'm too good for you." Mark says teasing Tomas while pretending to flip his 'invisible' long hair.

Tomas gives a fake look of rejection then grins. "Well I've got my own girl. Go find yours Mark." Tomas says while giving me a kiss on the forehead. I laugh at them.

"Hey Tomas, how's Tia?" Tomas raises an eyebrow. I just stare at him not knowing what he is talking about.

"Uh well Mark. Tia means aunt in Spanish. But you don't even know her." Tomas still looks confused.

"No, not your aunt you butthead. I mean you and Mia's ship name. Tia." He says while creating a imaginary rainbow with his hands.

"So you're starting to ship us?" Tomas chuckles. I grin at them.

"Maybe. You never know. I might be popular because of my shipping abilities." Mark wiggles his eyebrows.

"I may or may not of tweeted that beautiful ship name." He says while flashing a daring smile.

"Mark please tell me you did not tweet this." Tomas groans while me and Mark laugh.

I pull out my phone.

You have been mentioned in a tweet with @tomas_bane_16

@mark.bailey27 tweeted this, one minute ago: #tiaforever

I turn to show Tomas my phone. "Mark I'm going to kill you." Tomas pulls out his phone and taps the screen a few times.

@tomas_bane_16 tweeted this, 12 seconds ago: #mark #is #a #loner

Obviously I need to teach him how to use hashtags properly.

@_miathompson_ You have just tweeted.

Tomas and Mark's phone buzz.

@tomas_bane_16 and @mark.bailey27 have been mentioned in a tweet by @_miathompson_

@_miathompson_ just tweeted two minutes ago: #boysandtheirhashtags

Tomas lets out a quiet snort while Mark just giggles like a five year old that had too much candy.

I receive a text from Tomas.

Well at least I'm your boy. #yours -Tomas ;)

He finally knows how to use hashtags properly. I think.

I look over at him and he's smiling at me. I blush and reply to him.

Your mine. No matter what. #mineforever -Mia ;)

Tomas leans over and pulls me on to his lap. The teachers is grading papers and somehow he isn't looking up much. It helps that we're watching a video too.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." He murmurs into my ear.

He put his hand on my cheek and one on my back. I put my hands on his chest, and start to lean in.

"I love you so much Mia. I'm so glad you moved here." He says quietly.

"I love you too Tomas."

He starts to kiss me. It feels like my whole body is exploding with sparks. My heart is beating so hard on my chest. He taste likes vanilla and honey but just a twist of mint. The way he moves against my lips, means he saviors the way I taste too.

"I love you." I murmur on to his lips.

"I love you too."
