Forbidden Love

Will you be my gf?

 Ever

It had to be Allyson that ruined the moment. What was he going to say? Was he going to ask me out? Now, I'll never know thanks to her. I'm fuming when I walk into first period. I hate her. These can't just be a coincidences anymore, she likes him. No, that's an understatement. She's in love with him and I hate her for it. 

I sit down and seconds later, I see Damen enter the room making me smile. It's not his fault for Allyson's possessiveness. 

He sits next to me and says, "Hey, gorgeous. I'm sorry for what happened back there. I didn't know that would happen, I swear." 

"I know," I say. "So what's that thing you were meaning to ask me, huh?" 

"Ever Nightingale, since the first day I met you I fell in love with you, literally," he chuckles as my stomach fills up with all these butterflies. "It was love at first trip. I really like you and I was wondering if you would want to be my girlfriend?" 

"Awe, that's so sweet! Of course, I'd love to," I say as I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into a hug. 

"You've just made me the happiest guy on Earth," he says. "By the way, you smell sooo good." 

I just laugh and grin. This is the best day ever. Then Ms. Annabelle comes in and says, "Okay, settle down class. Today, I am assigning a new project. This is going to be done with a partner and you two will do research on the life of Shakespeare. I will pass out the papers later with the requirements you will need to get an A. Now, choose your partners wisely, and I'm passing around a clipboard where you will write down your name next to your partner's name." 

Then Damen leans over my desk and says, "Ever Nightingale, would you do me the honors and be my partner in this beautiful assignment?" 

I giggle and say, "Yes, of course I will, Damen Evans." 

Before I knew it, the bell rang to signal that class was dismissed. 

I'm packing up my stuff when I hear Damen say, "Let me walk you to your next class, sweetheart." 

My heart skipped a beat. I can't believe he's my boyfriend. It's unbelievable. 

I just giggle and say, "Okay." 

As soon as I stand up, he grabs my hand and holds it all the way to my second period class. 

Then he kisses me on the cheek and whispers in my ear, "I'll catch you later, beautiful." 

I walk into class feeling like I'm walking on clouds. Until I sit down at my desk and feel someone staring at me. I turn around and see it's Allyson. She's looking at me like if I just did something that annoyed her. I turn back around and pray that she'll stop, but it was too late.

She leaned over my desk and whispered in my ear, "You liar. I knew there was something going on between you two. There was something between me and Damen before you came along and now it's all ruined. You're all he ever thinks about. You took him away from me and I'm going to make sure you pay. You better watch your back, Nightingale." 

I'm scared out of my mind. She just threatened me, but Damen told me they were just friends and he felt nothing for her. Is he lying or is she lying? I'm so scared.
