Ross

Her hair smelled like vanilla, and I couldn't get it out of my head. All I could think about was Laura, the way she smelled, the way she walked, how her lips tasted when we kissed, she's taking over my mind.

I'm glad we are going to try and start being friends, but I still really want to call her my girlfriend. I bet she would love to sit in the grass with me right now. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to call her.

"Wow, look who it is! My old pal Ross!" Eddie plopped down on the grass making me groan loudly.

"Wow! Eddie, get the fuck away from me!" I smiled sarcastically.

"Oh, now what kind of friend would I be if I left you here all alone." He grinned.

"You wouldn't be one because we aren't friends dickhead." I rolled my eyes standing up from the grass.

"Now don't just get up and leave me here," Eddie stood up following me, "come on Ross." He shoved my back hard acting like it was friendly.

"Fuck off Campbell." I shoved his hands off me and started to walk away again.

"Why? Why don't you just throw a couple of punches Shor? Wait, let me guess, Laura won't like it?" He made a fake pout face before laughing.

That was the last fucking straw with this guy, I knew I shouldn't and I knew it was wrong, but he's a dick. "You want a punch?" I asked him angrily.

"Yeah, but I'm not gonna get one from you, Shor," Eddie laughed, "hey everybody! Come watch the show! Ross is gonna throw a punch, unless he's too chicken." He laughed even harder as other people gathered around.

I exhaled loudly before grabbing his shoulders and punching that smirk right off his stupid face.

"Ouch, was that the best you got Rossy?" He snickered, blood dripping from his nose, throwing a punch right on my jaw. I fell to the ground from all the force. A crowd of students were all surrounding us.

"Fuck you Eddie." I pushed my self off the ground and punch his gut forcing him to fall to the ground. I didn't stop, I kicked his gut three or four more times until blood was coming out of his mouth and nose.

"Woah! Break this up idiots! Do you want to get caught!?" Some random kid with this really weird spiked up blond hair and a lip ring came running into the area as Eddie stood up and threw a hard punch at my gut making me cough blood.

The kid grabbed my shoulders and yanked me away from Eddie as another kid grabbed Eddies shoulders and yanked him away through the crowd.

"Get your hands off me." I shoved the blond kid's hands off me and wiped the blood dripping from my nose.

"Fine, but you should be happy I helped you or you would both either be expelled or dead." The kid raised his hands up in defeat walking away.

"Hey!" I called out at the kid, he turned around, "Who the fuck are you anyway?" I asked annoyed.

"Luke." the kid called back laughing before walking away.

I knocked lightly on Laura's door because I knew my sister wasn't there. Laura opened the door immediately and just stared at me for about 10 seconds before she took it all in.

"Oh my God! Ross, what happened?!" She grabbed my face and held it in her hands studying me.

"I-uh, I got into a fight." I barely mumbled the last part.

"A fight?!" She pulled me to sit down on her bed, grabbing the first aid kit I've grown so familiar with, "With who?"

"Eddie." I said quietly looking down.

"Eddie?!" She practically screamed.

"Yeah Laur, calm down." I chuckled trying to lighten the mood.

"Okay, whatever. He's an idiot anyway, but you shouldn't have wasted your time on him in the first place," She pulled out the awful peroxide spray, "now, take off your shirt."

"I'm getting a strange sense of déjà vu Miss Marano." I joked pulling my shirt up over my head.

"Shut up Ross." She rolled her eyes shaking the spray before spraying my bruises and cuts. Strangely, I was actually used to the sting.

"Hey," I asked as she grabbed an ice pack for my jaw, "you wanna watch Stuck in Love?"
