Better an oops than what if. 

Lilianne's POV

"So you met Chaz?" Lucy asked while taking books out of the locker. 

"Yes. Of all of them, I liked him the most. What do you have now?" I asked

"Geometry. You?"

"Spanish." I smiled

"Lucky you, you know all the answers" She sighed. 

Where is room 45B? I wandered through the corridor looking for a classroom.  After a while, I found the door I wanted. Great, no more seats. 

I scanned the class thoroughly and saw a spot next to a boy in the back. I think his name was Tyler. 

"Can I sit here?" I asked nicely.

Tyler looked at me from over his books and smiled

"Of course, you can" 

"Lilianne, but call me Lil"- I smiled

"Tyler"

The lesson was boring. I'm not surprised that almost everyone was asleep. If I didn't know Spanish, I certainly wouldn't have learned it in this lesson.

"Lilianne, wait!" 

I slowly turned at Tyler's voice

"Yes?" I asked

"Do you want to go out after school? I can use some help with Spanish" he asked nervously

"Of course. Wait for me in the school parking lot." I smiled

I decided to text Jason. I didn't know what to think about "see you tomorrow". I didn't want him waiting for me.

To: Jason

Hey! I don't know what to think about your "see you tomorrow", but I already have plans so don't wait for me after school. 

From: Jason

I didn't even plan to. 

Ou. It hurt. I sounded pathetic. He probably forgot about what he said yesterday.  6 more hours. Lil, you can do it.

Jason's POV

It was a hard night for me. I stayed awake, because of another mission. I walked into my office angry with the world.  

"Where's my fucking coffee? And cigarettes?" I exclaimed.

I tried to focus on my work and assign more gang members to the mission. My thoughts returned to Lilianne for a moment. I can't wait to pick her up today. Spending time with her after school is slowly becoming my favorite thing to do during the day when I don't have to think about my job.

Speak of the devil...
