Rejected

Chapter 11

Mitch's P.O.V
----------------

Now that Scott was officially gay, we could do whatever we wanted at school.

NO. Not that kind of stuff.

I mean-

Holding hands.

Kissing.

Announcing that we're dating.

Make weird jokes in front of our friends.

The list will go on forever. But I won't bore you with that.

"Hey, babe," I felt Scott wrap his arms around me. "Hi. How are you?" I asked. "Not too great. Well, now that I'm with you, I'm perfect."

"So clichè, but I love it," I said, looking straight into Scott's eyes. "It's what I do," Scott said, quickly kissing me and then looking around the hallway to make sure nobody saw what he did.

"Scottie, babe, if you're too nervous to kiss me here, you don't have to. It alright."

A wave of relief came over his face as he sighed.

That hit me in the feels. Hard.

"I-I gotta go," I stuttered.

"No, Mitch, I didn't mean it like th-"

"It's fine."

I ran to my next class and sat down, biting my nail nervously because I knew Scott sat behind me in this class. I heard the chair being pulled out from under the desk and held my breath.

"I'm sorry, Mitch," I heard him whisper to me.

I nodded slightly and got lost in my own world.

The bell rang and I swiftly got up and left. I thought I could hear footsteps behind me and I turned around. Scott skidded to a stop. Our faces were inches away. "I'm sorry," he said. "I know." He put his hand on his hip. Sassy. Rawr.

"You know I didn't mean it that way."

I nodded.

"You're not talking to me?"

"It's fine, Scott."

"You're avoiding me."

"So?"

"It means you're mad at me."

I was on my toes so that I could be at his height. I quickly kissed him, "Its okay."

And maybe I was just a little mad. I had the right to be mad.

Don't you agree?

"It's really fine, Scott. Stop being so worried around me. I was mad in the heat of the moment. It's not your fault, babe."

He looked relieved when I called him babe. You know you're back on track when you get to the nickname phase. He kissed me when a few people walked past us.

"See? I'm not afraid."

A/N- Aside from the fact that yesterday was my birthday...

I hope y'all are having a great day.

The fact that mine and Avi's birthday are in the same month just makes me cry.

It also gives me life. Sooooo much life.

Soooo much life that I can barely handle it.

I crie evarityme.

K bye Queens!
