Chapter Ten:

~Kellin's P.O.V. ~

Today was the first morning that I had woken up feeling somewhat excited for school. Usually I dreaded the day ahead but today I felt like nothing could stop me. I hurriedly got dressed and bounced down the stairs. My mom was sitting in the kitchen, drinking her coffee quietly with her nose in a book.

I hummed a light tune as I walked past her, grabbing an apple from the fridge and throwing it in the air before I caught it. My mother looked over at me curiously and raised a brow.

"Why are you in such a...cheery...mood all of the sudden?" She asked, looking me up and down.

I sighed dreamily and leaned against the counter, Vic invading my thoughts once again.

"No reason, just feeling happy I guess." I said giddily.

"Are you on drugs?" She asked suddenly.

I spit the piece of apple I had been chewing all over the kitchen, coughing.

"What?" I coughed.

"Are you on drugs? D.ammit Kellin, I know that you aren't the most popular kid but-"

I rolled my eyes and slammed down my apple, grabbing my bag.

"No mom, I'm not on drugs. I'm finally happy for once, not that I'd expect you to notice." I snapped.

I stormed out of the house, practically seething. I couldn't believe her! I'm finally happy for once and then she just comes in and ruins it!

The walk to school was filled with me grumbling to myself under my breath about my stupid mother and mean glares at anything that moved. I thought nothing could ruin my 'perky' mood, but apparently I was wrong. I finally reached the school and saw Vic leaning against his car in the corner of the parking lot. My heart sped up and my mood was instantly lightened.

I perked up and put on a smile, walking over to him. He smiled at me and when I reached him and he made sure no one was looking before wrapping his arms around me. We pulled away and he planted a quick kiss on my lips, messing with my hair. Everyone was inside the building by now, I assumed that we were going to skip first period, not that I minded at all.

"Hey, you." He said affectionately.

"'Hey' yourself." I teased.

Vic rolled his eyes and grabbed my hands pulling me even closer than before.

"I have a question..." He asked nervously, biting his lip.

God I loved when he bit his lip.

"Sure, ask away." I said, smiling.

"Well, last night was...amazing. And I like you Kells, a lot, but there's a problem..."

Butterflies erupted in my stomach but froze when he mentioned that there was a problem.

"Oh, um, what is it?" I asked timidly.

"I'm not ready to come out yet...so if we date...I'd like to keep it a secret."

I took a minute to process this over. So...he wants to date me, but he doesn't want to make it public...I guess I can handle that.

"No problem, I completely understand." I said with a cheeky smile.

"Y-You do?" He asked in shock, happiness glimmering in his eyes.

"Yeah, if you're not ready then you're not ready. I can wait until then." I said.

"Well then, Kellin Quinn, will you be my boyfriend?" Vic asked.

I blushed and bit my lip to keep in a squeal, nodding quickly. Again, I need to quit acting like such a girl. Vic laughed and pulled me close, kissing me softly. When he pulled away he caressed my cheek and looked away, smiling. He seems to smile a lot when I'm around, I like it.
