I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off. I roll over to turn it off and check my phone before getting out of bed. I walk to the bathroom and brush my teeth. Then, I wash my face and get dressed. Next, I do my hair and makeup. After I finished getting ready I grabbed all my stuff and went to check the apartment. When I woke up Chris was not next to me. I'm not sure if he came back last night or not but he's definitely not here now. I hear a knock at the door and go to answer it. I stand there confused as I see Braelynn and Jackson standing in front of me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked confusedly.

"We're obviously here to pick you up for school." Brae said while sprinting passed me and going into the kitchen. As she rambled through my refrigerator she finally sighed and closed the door.

"DO YOU NEVER HAVE ANY FOOD IN HERE?!" Brae screamed dramatically.

"Nope," I shrugged. "Can we go now? Then we can get food on the way." I said walking towards the door.

After stopping and getting out food, we finally arrived at school. After saying our goodbyes, we all go our separate ways to class. I stop by my locker to get my books and head to class. While walking, I looked down at my phone for a second. Then, I suddenly bumped into what felt like a brick wall.

"Sorry I-" I tried to speak but when I looked up, I saw the same guy who has been running circles through my mind. It's like my voice is stuck in my throat. I see the tall guy hovering over me smirking. I can't stop the heat from rushing up to my cheeks.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention." I spoke up first in a hushed tone.

"It's fine." He finally spoke. "Name?"He asked but it almost sounded like a demand.

"Elora, you?" I muttered.

"Braxton." He replied. He was at least a foot taller than me. Dark hair, grey eyes.

"I-I have to get to class." I quickly said, trying to put some distance between us. I was a mumbling mess. Why was I stuttering? As I try to walk away, I feel a tug pulling me back over to him. For a minute he just stares into my eyes before moving closer, causing me to back into the wall behind me. Our faces are now so close we can feel each other's breath. He slowly looks down at me, bringing his hand up and lifting my chin to make me look up at him. At this moment our faces are so close that our lips are almost touching. He suddenly sighs and backs away, leaving me hot and bothered before he just walks away.

"What the fuck just happened?" I whispered to myself before taking a deep breath and walking towards my class. After sitting in class listening to Mrs.Fay go on and on about the lesson and what she expected for us to do. The more I sat there trying to pay attention, the more my mind drifted off thinking about Brax. I couldn't keep sitting there, turning in my seat so I excused myself to the bathroom. While walking down the hall, I hear a voice that makes me stop in my tracks. My heart was beating so loud I'm sure everyone could hear it. I suddenly felt hands on my waist, pulling me back until my back was pressed against his body.

"Elora." He gently said into my ear. Sending chills through my body.

"Braxton" I hushed. I shouldn't even let this happen. I have Chris, but I can't bring myself to move away. It wasn't until he moved his hands and took my phone from my hands. He added his number and gave it back. I turned my head towards him and for a moment we just stared at each other. He looked down to my lips and stared at them before he smashed his lips into mine. It took me a minute before I finally kissed back with the same passion. He spun me around swiftly, pulling me so close that there was no space between us. I wrapped my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss before he pushed me up against the wall, almost knocking the air out of my lungs. He glided his tongue over my bottom lip asking to let him in and I did. He slowly moves his hands down my waist then lets them rest on my ass. After he breaks the kiss we both take time to catch our breath before speaking.

"Fuck." He said still breathing heavily.

"I-I have a boyfriend. I can't do this."I said softly.

"I couldn't tell the way you were just kissing me." He smirked.

"You kissed me!" I snapped.

"And you kissed back. If you cared about your boyfriend you wouldn't even still be here." He responded. He was right. I kissed back. The worst part is I enjoyed it. I don't even regret it. I exhaled a breath I didn't even know I was holding before looking back up at him. "I'll see you around." He spoke deeply before walking away. Leaving me hot and flustered once again. I walk back towards my class with an ache between my legs. For the remainder of the day I couldn't stop thinking of him. No matter how much I tried, I just can't get him out of my mind.

I sat in my class, unable to concentrate on what my professor was teaching. It seemed as if time was going slower than usual. The longer I sat there, the more I thought about Braxton. Why do I feel this way? I have a boyfriend that I love.

God I hope Chris doesn't find out about this. I thought to myself.

As time passed on, the day slowly came to an end.

"Are you sure you don't want us to wait around here for you to finish detention?" Brae asked.

"I'm sure, I'll just call a ride." I reassured her.

"Okay if you are sure. Call as soon as you get home!" Brae demanded as she hugged me goodbye.

I walk down the quiet empty hallway. As I come to the end I make a sharp turn and run full speed into Braxton.

"You know... we have gotta stop meeting like this." Brax expressed with a small smirk on his face.

"What are you doing here?" I responded.

"Walking. Obviously." He mocked. Making me roll my eyes. I try to walk past him but he grabs me, yanking me back in front of him. He intensely stares into my eyes studying me before pulling me closer. A hand on each side, gripping my thighs before pulling me even closer, closing any remaining space that was between us. He brushes his lips against mine. Teasing me before he finally pressed his plump lips firmly into mine. Creating a deep, passionate kiss. He bit my bottom lip, showing his hunger. Our tongues dance with one another. I ran my fingers through his soft hair as he roughly grabbed my ass causing a small yelp to come from my mouth. He swiftly picked me up, pressing me against the wall. Grabbing a fist of my hair, deepening the kiss. I could feel his hard bulge on my aching core.

"Brax." I moaned softly into his mouth before moving my hand down to feel his hard erection. Causing a groan to leave his lips. He slowly pulls away, letting me see the lust in his eyes. He presses one last kiss on my lips before setting me down back onto solid ground. By now I've completely forgotten about detention.

"I- um I have detention." I whispered, staring down at my feet to avoid eye contact. I hear Braxton clear his throat before speaking.

"Yea, same." He replied. For a moment we just stared at each. Before awkwardly beginning to walk towards the classroom. The sexual tension was radiating off of us. I know he feels it too.

Throughout detention we shared a few glances but never talked.

As detention slowly came to an end, I called my ride and practically ran out of the building.
