It Can Be Scary

I wake up gasping for air, I can feel my whole body shaking. As I look around my room I see Hester is still not here. I look over to my right to see Boone fast asleep. This was my first nightmare about Miss Bean and if I'm being honest it's eating me alive on how I couldn't save her. I feel Boone's arm wrap around my waist and pulled me into him. I looked up at him to see him still peacefully sleeping. It was still dark out but it was early morning and I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep not after that dream. 

It had been not even 5 minutes and Boone started to wake up. I looked at him as he opened his eyes.

"You know it's rude to stare" He says in a whisper husk morning voice that sent a shiver down my spine

"Not staring, It's called glazing" I say jokingly 

"It's creepy" He says burying his face in my neck as I could feel him smile against it 

"It's romantic" I say with a chuckle. I feel him leave a kiss on my neck and then he moved to where I could see him 

"What time is it?" He asked me 

"It's 4 in the morning" I say as he played with my hair 

"What are you doing up this early?" He asked 

"I had this dream and I just couldn't fall back to sleep, is all" I say sitting up as I ran my fingers through my hair with a sigh. Thinking about the dream once again and seeing Miss Bean drop to the ground. I feel Boone sit up as well and put his hand on my cheek and turned my head to look at him. He moved a piece of my hair behind my ear

"What was it about?" He asked me. I let out another sigh and thought to myself that I needed to talk to someone else that is not apart of the KTT house and I had this feeling that I could trust Boone 

"If I tell you something, do you promise not to tell anyone, ever?" I asked him. He gave me a concerned look but nodded in response.

"Do you remember the day we met? It was like the third day" I say and he gave me a smile as he started to remember us meeting, I could tell by his eyes that he was

"You called me a dick" He said laughing at it

"Yeah, I did. Anyway after we saw each again at the coffee I left and went to the KTT house. That's when Chanel killed Miss Bean, right in front of me and the rest of the house" I say not breaking eye contact with him. His eyes widened and he moved his hand off my cheek which made me frown even more but his heart stayed a steady beat, which was weird.

"Wh... um... What happen?" He asked 

"She was planning on pulling a prank or something and it went wrong. Instead of the boil being cold it was hot, boiling hot. Her face was complete burned off" I say trying to read him 

"Honestly it's not a surprise or shocked that Chanel would do something like this but you. I would have never had thought." Boone said moving a little way from me but I grab his hand which made him look at me 

"No. No, when it happen the girls left the room screaming. I just left the house" Telling some part of the truth

"You just left? You didn't do anything?" He asked all curious

"Yes" I say lying "Grace and Zaydaya told me what happen after I left. Chanel was threatening them. I didn't know what to do. If I open my mouth than there is a huge change that Grace and Zaydaya and along with Hester could get in so much trouble and I don't want that. Maybe if I tried to stop Chanel, Miss Bean would still be alive or maybe if-" Boone stop my ramble by grabbing my face with both of his hands 

"Ariella, what happen is not your fault. There is no way you could have known what Chanel was planning on doing . It'll be okay." He says pulling me into his chest which filled my stomach with butterflies. We sat there for a while like this while he whisper sweet things in my ear as he clam me down. I pulled away from his chest to look up at him. I see his eyes moved down to my lips than back at me. We both leaned in, that's when I felt warm soft lips on mine. The kiss was slow but full of passion. He turned his head pulling the kiss deeper. I hooked my arms around his neck and moved my leg over him, sitting right into his lap. I moved my hands to his hair as he moved his hand to my exposed waist and drew circles. I start to play with the bottom of his shirt, ready to take it off him but was interrupted by my alarm clock. We both pulled way with the both us breathing heavy. 

"I have to go to the house. Hell week is still on even after Taylor death." I say as I leaned my forehead against his

"Do you have to go" Boone asked me

"If I'm going to be apart of the sorority, I have to do it. I'll see you tomorrow or if you want to wait I can see you later tonight" I say to him sliding off his lap and grabbing my bag with him right behind me as we walked through out of my dorm room.

"Tonight" he says with no hesitation "Just, please be careful, okay?" He said in a worry tone. I nod my head and gave him a kiss on the cheek as we made it outside 

"I'll see you tonight pretty boy" I say and start walking towards the house but I looked back to see Boone still looking at me but with guilt all over his face.
