CARTER

I am going to kill him.

How dare he disrespect her like this, causing her so much anxiety to the point she becomes sick. He has seen her sick before, she is extremely sensitive to this stuff because of her gift or curse as she calls it.

Pulling her into me, we sat on the ground against the wall of the empty classroom. I wrap my arms around her shoulders as she leans her head against my chest. Her torso is much shorter than mine, giving a good space between our heads. She catches her breath and tries to control it. I rub her arms softly trying to comfort her.

Sarah. I think I love her like I really love her. Her brown eyes hypnotize me every time I look at her. She has this intense stare that only she has for me. I have noticed it a couple of times before. I remember when I first met her. She stepped out of her dad's car one morning and never even looked at me until someone mentioned that I was there. The second she looked, she captured me. Her eyes darted from my face to my feet and back up, I think she was judging my sense of style. She never even made eye contact with me, but I saw her eyes. When she eats ice cream- vanilla, her nose scrunches up into a cute little button. The lines around her eyes crinkle and make a V shape.

Her lips are my favorite feature of her face. Sara's lips are fine. Comparing them to others' not very full and vibrant, but they suit her like no other. That first kiss, was the kiss of my life. Sitting in my car, her lips on mine as I tried to comprehend what I had been thinking about all night.

Of course with the news of her knowing about my father and what I told her about him, I was mad. Hell, I was angry, but I couldn't be mad. She is such a sweet and kind soul- wanting to fix everybody no matter the cost.

Her pouty lips right before the most heated I have been in a while, remind me of the fantasies I have of her mouth. What else can they do? Make me feel?

I hate seeing her cry. The salty tears drip onto my crossed arms before sliding to the floor. Instantly regretting my selfish thoughts I console her, "It's alright."

She turns her head and faces me, her elbow rubs against my friend, and I struggle to keep a straight face. "Sorry," her face reddens when she realizes what she did. "Fine," words can't form as I think of that feeling again.

She takes her arms from under me and places them at her sides. We stare at each other for a moment while I take in the beauty of her eyes once more. Her long lashes darker than before because of the tears caused by her brother flicker in the light. The glossy stain, disappears before me, now a little red.

"Did Becky leave?" she asks.

I nod, "she left to get you some water, she'll be back soon." She nods her head and lays it against my shoulder wrapping her arms around my neck. I breathe in her scent, making me feel more at ease.

BECKY

I grab the water bottle from Sarah's backpack and take her notebook too. I walk out of the classroom and head back to the one I left Carter and Sarah in.

On my way, I think about Soran and how he acted. He was way off line, he should have never said any of that stuff or even acted the way he did. Sure, I can understand how he felt about it and how he could be mad, but he didn't have to do that in front of everyone. Especially Courtney, she was hysterical.

He bluntly scolded Sarah for causing so many problems. I didn't even know about the thing with James at the amusement park. Sarah never told me anything about that or talked about it. We didn't become friends until after it all happened. Soran never told me either, for whatever reason, he did tonight. He told everyone and now everyone is talking about it.
