Senior lies

Bonding (his pov)

First week is over. I'm looking forward to this Friday, we're going to NewYork. Larisas best and only friends Raven and Chris are in a different class so I'm going to try and get closer to her. The entire week went by way too slowly but Friday finally came. It was early and the bus drive was 3 hours. I saw everybody sitting down but Larisa was still sitting alone. I decided to sit next to her.
"Mhm no way go sit somewhere else there are plenty of other spots left."
"But I wanna sit here."
I mean I want to sit next to the person I've liked since first grade and she was sitting alone, she also had the window seat so she couldn't get away. Not soon after we left she fell asleep with her head on the window, after half an hour she moved and her head fell on my shoulder. God she's so beautiful. I let her sleep there because it was the closest we ever were. After another half an hour I sensed she woke up.
"Ah you're finally awake I hope my shoulder was comfortable."
She didn't say a word and quickly put her head against the window again.
"Hey, I didn't mind you know."
I wanted her to rest her head on my shoulder again.
"Don't get your hopes up it'll never happen again"
I wanted it to happen again so I looked up then I realized she was looking at me. She started moving her eyes down towards my knuckles who were bruised. I quickly just covered them back up hoping she wouldn't say anything.
"You know if you're going to be in fights you should ice your fists after, not that I care"
"Sure you don't"
Little did she know I fought an asshole who was talking about using her for her body.
I wanted to be closer to her again so I rested my head on her shoulder this time, she flinched but was too tired to move my head away. We got out for the bus after the next 2 hours.
"Okay class partner up in groups of two, you have to go with a person you usually don't talk to"
I looked at Larisa, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to get closer to her. The teacher handed everybody a piece of paper.
"You have to complete all of the things on this paper. All of them are picture assignments so be sure to have your phone locked and loaded"
This means I have to take pictures with Larisa this day was going to be better than I thought.
"Okay maybe we should go to the Statue of Liberty first since it's the closest."
"Fine"
She sighed and we left. We arrived in 5 minutes, first Larisa took a picture with her phone, I got closer to her face, our ears touched , I gulped. For no reason I gulped
"Okay now you take a picture with your phone"
"Yes ma'am"
I took out my phone and just when I took the picture I kissed her beautiful cheek. She blushed but rapidly pulled away making a disgusting face. I tried to laugh it off.
"Relax it was just a joke let's take another one"
We did and I couldn't take my eyes off of her gorgeous porcelain face.
On the way home in the bus her headphones broke I offered to share mine,, she agreed. It was such a small thing but it fell like a win to me. I put on the playlist I made for her, with all of the songs I could hear her listening thought when her window was open. It was too late for her mom to pick her up. I brought her home it was really really late. I got out of my car when we arrived and started walking towards my house.
"Hey how'd you know that I like these songs?"
I stopped walking and turned to look at her, not to answer her question but to just see her kind face one last time before I would go to bed
