"Listen to me Lilly... I didn't mean for you to take it that way." Brandon has been trying to talk to me all day. When the bell rang, he was there, right next to me. Everyone else was rushing home to get the weekend started. Seriously though, he has only been saying, 'I didn't mean for you to take it that way.' I bite my tongue to keep back from snapping at him. I was trying really hard to give him the silent treatment, but I had a feeling it wasn't going to last long.
"Lilly, I'm sorry. I didn't know you felt more about me. I mean- I guess I do too." He blushes, and I don't have anything nice to say, so I glare at him. He pulls his hands up in mock surrender. Again, I bite my tongue, and walk away, but Brandon is faster than me. He takes my elbow, and makes me push up against him, facing him. After a few seconds, I focus on his eyes. He has really beautiful green eyes, with a little bit of hazel in it. My eyes are a pale blue, with silver in it. Some people said it was cool, but I would much rather have green eyes, like Brandon I look into his eyes again, and his lips crash into mine. It was soft at first, but then became very passionate. I break away, and Brandon looks at me.
"Are you going to tell me what you did yesterday?" I ask him, but it came out rudely. I didn't mean to though. His face paled, and he looked at the ground. After a while, he mumbles his answer.
"Um, I went to go see- see Garett." I gasp, and look away too. Why did he go see Garett?
"Why?" I ask, I really wanted to know, after all Brandon was trying to get me to like him, so why would he visit my ex-boyfriend? Who is crazy and punched me? Ugh, I'm so confused.
"I, well I... told him to- I told him to start away from you. He hurt you, and I don't want him to be anywhere near you." He looks me in the eye again, and I can't tell he means every word he says. So sweet. Garett is still a touchy subject, and he handled it so well, and I thank him for that by pecking him on the lips. He smiles, and asks what that was for.
"I just wanted to thank you for handling Garett so well. You know it's a touchy subject for me, and you were comforting about it. Thank you." He smiled, and showed his dimples.
Oh my gosh, he had dimples.

"Kat! Guess what! Brandon kissed me!" I yelled, walking into Kat's house. We have a thing where we don't really knock going into each other's houses, because it is like our own.
"What!" She screams.
I tell her everything.
