Demi P.O.V.
"You don't have a car?" Selena asked for what seemed like the fiftieth time.
"No. I don't have a car."
"You don't have a c-" My hand was over her mouth.
"Not another word." I ran and she followed right behind me.
"Why are we running?!" She yelled after me.
I stopped.
"I don't know. This is a lot more intense when we're running though." I started forward and was then yanked back again.
"Pleeeaase. No. More. Running. I can't take it." She had her hands on her knees as she caught her breath.
"Really? We were only running for a few seconds. You're already that tired? Maybe I shouldn't take you to get ice-cream. I should make you run for it." Her expression turned horrific as what I'd just said settled.
"You wouldn't." Her eyes narrowed as I nodded, I threw my head back in laughter while I turned to run again. In the midst of my sprinting I was tackled to the ground.
I hit the ground with a "Ooomf" Selena landing right on top of me. She turned me around so I was looking up at her.
"Told ya you wouldn't." She smirked. That smirk disappeared in the next few seconds though.
I would have laughed if we weren't under these circumstances.
"Ladies!" Coach Jenson barked.
Shit. Gyms outside today.
Selena real quick jumped off of me and I sat up. Coach looked super pissed.
"You skipped my class to partake in public fornication!? And on school grounds?!"
Public fornic- whaa?
"No sir! She just tackled me, it was nothing like that." I turned to look at Selena. She looked like a fish gasping for air, her mouth opening and closing in her panic. She caught my eye and I urged her to say something
"Gaahhh!"
What the actual fuck was that?
"Sir, she's new here-"
"So you decided to be a little friendly then." This came out more as a statement rather than a question.
God kill me now.
The students behind him started to snicker, my cheeks grew warmer by the second.
"No sir."
"Then what's your reason for skipping my class Ms. Cabello?"
"It's Lovato."
"Whatever. I still want an answer young lady. Don't think I won't talk to school officials about this."
"She was having a bad day, so I decided to ditch. This is all my fault sir. My apologies are sincere, I'm sorry we had to meet this way, and as for the uhhh.. Fornication. This is not what you thought it was. I'm pretty sure she's straight."
At least I thought I was. Woooah. Where did that come from?
"I don't want your apologies! Get your sorry behinds to the principal's office. Now!"
We scrambled to our feet and started walking back to school.
"Start running! Now! Now! Now! Now!"
His booming voice faded away as Selena and I ran, Selena obviously struggling.
Once we made it to the halls we started walking, Selena hyperventilating beside me.
"Are you okay?" She looked like she was dying.
"I'm just peachy."
We stopped just outside the principal's office. We turned to look at eachother. She audibly gulped.
I pushed open the door and we walked in.
"Ladies. Sit down." The principal's stern voice said.
We obeyed and awaited our verdict.
"Coach Jensen said you skipped his class to partake in public fornication. Is this correct?"
"We did skip class Mr's. Flayherty, but there was absolutely no fornication involved. None."
She looked between the both of us, her gaze eventually staying on Selena.
"Miss. Gomez, I understand that today is your first day here at Mesa High. What in the world gave you the bright idea to skip class on the first day?"
"I guess it was the need to fit in." she looked at me. "I wasn't very popular back in Texas."
Mr's. Flayherty looked at her knowingly.
"Since this is a first offense for the both of you, I'll let you off with one week's detention, starting tomorrow. I will be notifying parents. Good day to you, ladies."
With that we left, walking in the direction of gym. I looked at Selena and laughed.
"What?" She smiled.
"Gaahhh."
Her face grew red as I laughed even harder.
"That was all you had to say?"
She didn't say anything and I laughed again.
"Selena?"
Silence.
"Aww come on. I won't be a meanie anymore."
Nothing.
"I'll buy you ice-cream after detention tomorrow?"
Nothing again.
"After detention for the rest of the week?"
"Really?" she looked at me with hopeful eyes. I booped her nose with a 'boop'.
"Of course silly." the bell rang and we turned around. "You think you can give me a ride home?"
"Dang girl, we just met today. Didn't your mom ever teach you not to get in cars with strangers? I could be a murderer or something, do you do this with everyone?"
My chest ached at this, but I looked at her and put on my best smile.
"Only if they're as pretty as you."
A/N: I'm trying to make the chapters a little longer. I still think this is pretty short though. I would die if the fornication situation happened to me. Anywho. Hi c:
