"Come on, we're going" Reece says standing up.

He "wanted" me to help him do math with the numbers and shit but has not payed attention to anything I have said he's juts been staring at my face the whole time.

Making my cheeks turn bright pink.

"We can't leave" I say.

"You wanted to leave earlier" that's true.

"Fine" standing up Reece picks up all of my stuff like he's on a timed clock. He tries to rush my out but I end up going even slower juts to irritate him.

"Come on!"

In slow motion I turn away from the desk and begin following him towards the exit. He curses under his breath before gripping my hand tugging me out of the library.

Strolling around the school corridors, our hands are still linked as he slows down his walking pace after I struggled to keep up with him.

Turning a corner we're met with both Coach- I don't know what his last name is, I'm convinced he doesn't have one, I think his name is juts coach- and also Principal Grant.

Oh shit.

"Excuse me" Grant states into my soul.

I said that out-loud?

"Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?" He turns to Reece.

"You're probably right" he nods, "Lexi here got lost so I was just helping her out" always gotta drag me down with him.

"I know my way now" letting go of Reece's hand, I smile at the two grumpy old men in front of me before walking passed them.

when I'm half way down the corridor I turn around and lock eyes with Reece who's glaring daggers at me. I flip him off and turn the corner jogging down the stairs.

I don't know where I am going.

I'm just walking.

Reece has all my stuff so it's not like I can go to any of classes as I won't have any of my school work with me.

Taking my AirPods and phone out my pocket I hook them in my ears and play my music very loudly silencing any other noise around me.

I find my locker and open it, looking at myself in my little mirror, I run my hands through my long ass hair. I really need to go get it styled soon. Too much high maintenance. I re-apply lipgloss and then shut it again.

Two arms wrap around startling me, a hand reaches for one of my AirPods, taking it out "you can't escape me that fast, princess" I hear Reece's voice whisper into my ear.

"You scared me, I could have almost broken your nose" turning around to face him "but then how could I ever destroy this beautiful face" I slap my hands either side of his face and push them together.

"That's cute" his voice his muffled from his squashed face, "ready to go?" He asks me after I dropped my hands to his shoulders.
