I grab ahold of his right hand and put it to my chest. With every beat of my heart I wanted him to feel my words. "I love you more than you could've ever imagine. W...

I purposely chose to go to extra help in my lunch period instead of meeting with my girls.
Don't get me wrong, I love them so much and lunch is the only period we all have together.
But that's the problem. I can't stand being with all of them together today.
Elle won't stop talking about Lake. I had to hear about what he did in every single class we had together. There's only so many "you'll find someone better" I can say before I lose my mind.
Georgia hasn't shut up about Xaiden. She's trying to get me wrapped up in her plan to get his number.
I've known him for years and I don't have his number. But I have to give her false hope and encourage her delusions.
And lastly my girlfriend. Atlanta's been nagging me over the sleepover date that my PARENTS forced me to be on.
She's blaming me for not putting in effort on our relationship and keeps threatening to break up with me.
But extra help is over and I have to face them at some point.
So deep in my own thoughts I don't notice anyone walking behind me until I felt a hand caress my shoulder.
I end up missing a step on the stairs and my ankle does a complete 180. I scream as I fall down the few remaining steps.
I scrunch up face getting ready to yell at the culprit, only to find Xaiden crouched down beside me.
I lay on the floor and just stare up at him perplexed. Until he offers me his hand to help me up.
"I got it" I said, rejecting his hand.
When I finally stand up, I ask, "Do you need something?"
I mean I'm guessing he needs me if he was willing to interact with me inside school.
He blankly stares at me.
"Nevermind". He's literally mute. I don't know what I expected from him.
I brush past Xaiden and walk out of the staircase.
I look over my shoulder and see him following me in the hallway. I stop and face him. "What Xaiden"
He continues to stare at me.
"Xaiden you have 3 seconds to spit it out or I'll call your dad" I have Mr. Pham number but I do not want to call it. However it's the only threat I got against him.
He doesn't budge so I start counting, "one"
"Two-"
He looks around sees the other kids in the hallway and grabs my hand to pull me back inside the stair case. Where we're alone.
