HIM

Chapter 18

I had thought about the whole fact of Paulina hooking up with Mr.Styles, and that her whole dealio, on having fun in the world was something to look back on. So a thought came to my mind.

While I was day dreaming in English and we were reading and reciting poems, I was stuck on what Paulina said. I mean yes what she was doing was foolish and dumb, but she is right. In the sense on looking back on this fun.

"And that concludes our next passage, Ms.Bixby, would you like to recite the last passage we just read?"

Edgar Allen Poe, how hard could it be?

"And have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the sense? --now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I knew that sound well, too. It was the beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury, as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage." I finished as Mrs.Walkins looked stunned.

"You can put your books away,now." She said eyeing me and I shook it off.

The bell rang to escape torturous English and I was off to my favorite class with Brandon.

"Hey what's up babe." Brandon said to me as I sat down across from him.

"Shut up. How many times have I told you not to call me that since I've been dating Nick?" I said holding back laughter.

"At least...hold on...i need time to count this." He said smirking at me.

"Uh-huh okay Brandon." I said rolling my eyes at him smiling.

"At least 1,232."

"Wow, so close to the exact number am I right?" And he just grabbed my arm and pulled it to him.

"Be my partner for the ceramics lab today?"

"What are we even doing?" I asked him.

"Making home made shitty bowls from high schoolers."

"Ah, I see. Then sure. Lets do this man, and we still need to work on our math project together." Like he forgot, only three weeks into school, not that hard.

"Oh right. How about today after school?"

"I can't, Nick is coming over for science." I said sighing.

"Just for science?" He asked eyeing me.

"Yes, what else?"

"Well, I mean...Its...you know, Nick were talking about here."

"Your point being?" I said.

"He probably just wants to get alone with you to fuck you and then be done with you." He said.

"Okay first of all, I am very hurt by that, and second of all, no."

"Well then have fun being raped." He muttered.

"Okay be your own partner I don't wanna talk to you right now Brandon, and I'm smart enough to not let him." I said getting up and sitting by another of my guy friends, Jason.

---------------------------------------------

Ceramics was over and I was a hop skip and a jump away from my locker and home.

I shoved all my stuff necessary into my backpack, and closed my locker and went to look for Nick.

He was talking to his friend, and when he saw me he said by and then walked up to me and hugged me.

He then kissed me on the lips and said,"Whats up beautiful?"

"My house to finish science remember?" I said smiling.

"Oh, yea!"

"You forgot huh?" I said.

"Sort of, short term memory loss."

"Yea okay Nick." I said smiling.

"I love when you smile, and tease me." He said hugging me and pulling me into him.

"I love everything about you to, now let me go, so we can get home." I said laughing.

"No, I really mean it." He said kissing my cheek.

"Okay baby, and I do to, but please let's move along, you can kiss me when we get to my house." I said looking down to fix my jacket.

His eyes dilated slightly and I could feel him growing one through his jeans.

Lovely.

As I turned around he was on one knee and he grabbed my hand and kissed it softly.

"Nick what are you do-"

"Katrina Alohnie Bixby, will you do the pleasurable honors, of being my girlfriend?" He asked in the sweetest way possible I bent down to his level and kissed him softly on his lips and stiff back up.

"Yes." I said while he kissed my stomach and all I felt was butterflies.
