- 10: "Hands Off" -

Wesley's POV:

"I have no intentions of hiding any kind of relationship with you. You're mines, and I'm yours. No amount of people would stop my affection towards you. If they tried, I'll take care of them." I giggled to myself and placed a kiss on the back of Cortez's neck, "Alright Mister Big and Sexy." Cortez let out another chuckle as he climbed the stairs.

I'm starting to love him more and more. He's so caring, he's direct, honest, and he's just thoughtful as well. I've gotten so lucky to have him as my first boyfriend. I wouldn't change it for the world. Nothing will make me change my mind.

The day so far has been pretty normal for my first three classes: first class, Cortez had dropped me off. We earned some looks here and there but nobody ever decided to bother me or even say anything. Cortez has a glare as hard as a rock, and it shatters your soul like a window. After he dropped me off, Calc was pretty fine as usual. My teacher, Mr. Wolcott, is a great teacher. He knows how to demand attention, he's focused, but not always because he can have a little fun as always, and he also really cares for his students.

Not to mention, for a Calc teacher, I've always thought he was in good shape. He's a good 6'5, it definitely seems like he works out, and I would not want to be on his bad side. Which I'm not, he seems pretty friendly with me anyway. He also has some kind of tattoo going up his arm but he always wears a long sleeve shirt to hide it, which I'm guessing is because he's on the job. Never does a good job at it because his sleeve rolls up and reveals it anyway at certain points.

Next up: AP English, which Taurus had to take me to because Cortez had to do something. I didn't pry him because that's his business not mines. Taurus had the same kind of stone look as Cortez; and the difference being Taurus was 6'6, not 6'11. For English, my teacher is Mrs. Ariane. Nothing too bad about her.

She's a nice teacher anyway, always dressed to impress anyone. She's mostly known for wearing a very sleek black look and straightened hair almost every day at the University, and she just looks like she's in charge. She's about 6'1 in height, and taller with her heels on. She doesn't take any bullshit from people either, so she's not a teacher to mess around with. Her class is mostly fine sometimes, except for when I have to present something.

Then obviously, third class: which was Graphic Design with Mrs. Burk. You already know her, she's pretty nice already. She doesn't have that same sterness or demand as Mr. Wolcott or Mrs. Ariane, but her class does move along at least. Cortez took me to that because he was worried about not being able to take me during the second period.

Notably, it seemed like all three of them were informed about my injury: Mr. Wolcott made sure to check with me from time to time, Mrs. Ariane spoke to me about it after her lecture and asked if I needed to not present any projects for the time being, and Mrs. Burk obviously just checked from time to time since we mostly sit down in her class.

But now back to the present, the third period bell already rang and now I was walking with Cortez to the Gym Building. Our campus is composed of five buildings: the Main Building, the Secondary Building, the Major Building, the Science Building, and the Gym Building. Since I was in the Major Building, and Cortez was too, it was easy to find each other and walk together.

Speaking of Cortez, he was definitely right about not keeping any of our relationship a secret. He's been adamant about it ever since he told me he wouldn't keep anything a secret. He hasn't been dismissive to me about wanting to hold his hand at one point, or even about just getting a hug before classes started. He's just really thoughtful and I love that about him.
