Chapter 7

Daria's POV
When Connor left the table, I was chatting with Taylor about my date with him at the movies.

"So what'd you guys watch?" she asks.

"We saw Bright Lights. I barely paid attention to the movie though, it was probably because of Connor. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I'm pretty sure I was focused more on that hottie than the film itself." I respond.

"Did you guys kiss?"

"Yeah, we did. But, I was the first one to make the move. And you'll never believe what he told me after."

"What'd he say?"

I look around and don't see anyone near us. My body presses against the side of the table and I whisper into Taylor's ear.

"Connor likes Jude." I say softly.

"What no way! Are you serious?"

"Shhh! Keep it down, I haven't told anyone about it except for you. But that isn't going to stop me just yet, I'm waiting for the perfect moment to confess their secret to everyone on campus."

The smirk that appears on my face shows that I'm plotting for revenge. No one messes with me. He deserves this. I fall back into reality and speak to Taylor again.

"So, where do you think Connor is? It doesn't seem to me that he would be in the bathroom for that long."

"You should go find him." she tells me.

I nod my head to signal as an "okay". After getting up out of my seat, I walk towards the front doors of the school and go inside. The first place I check is his next class, which is on the other side of the building. By the time I get there, I see no sight of him. Maybe the bathroom? He's probably just trying to hide from me.

I get to the bathroom in less than five minutes. In front of me, there is a label of a boy figure. My hands press onto the door slowly and I peer who's inside. I knew it.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here, if it isn't precious Jude and Connor." I say with my arms crossed.

"What are you doing here? This is the boy's bathroom." Connor declares.

"I know, I'm not stupid. You were gone for quite a while so I came looking for you. I should've known you two were seeing each other behind my back."

"First off, I don't need you checking up on me. Second, I came in here to find Jude in the stall crying. There was no reason for me to leave him here all alone." he says.

"So you're cheating on me? I thought we were a thing!" I shout.

"We were never a thing! I never liked you! You were the one that had feelings for me, not the other way around. I've always wanted to be with Jude, not you!"

I'm furious. Anger fills inside of me and my hands start to clench. My throat is begging for me to scream. I speak with madness.

"That won't last for long, not until I tell the whole school about you two. Your lives will be ruined!"

"There's nothing that you can do that'll separate us. We were meant to be together." Connor tells me.

He stands in front of Jude, grasping his hand behind his back. Jude looks at me cautiously. I can tell that Connor isn't going to let me get passed him and hurt Jude. My arms cross again and I raise my voice.

"You made a big mistake."

I walk out the bathroom and slam the door loudly.

Connor's POV
What just happened? I turn around and face Jude. Our hands still intertwine as I look at him.

"You okay?" I ask.

"I'm fine, there's no one I'd want to be with right now except for you. Thanks for staying."

"No problem, that's what boyfriends are for." I say with a smile.

We hug and I hold him in my arms. You're mine, you're all mine. His head rests against my shoulder and I enjoy the feeling. He looks up at me with those amazing brown eyes. Jude's voice opens and I listen.

"What are we going to do about Daria?"

"I don't know, but we're going to figure it out. I'm not leaving you." I say with confidence.

He smiles, so I lean in. Our lips press onto each other and I don't hold back. The area around me seems to disappear when I'm kissing him. I love you Jude Jacobs Adams Foster.
