I stare nervously at the door of my homeroom, waiting for Sabrina to enter so I could talk to her and explain everything. But she never came.
"I think thats everyone," The teacher says, marking off attendance.
"Uh, Sabrina's not here though," I speak up, hesitantly.
"Ms James has switched to Mrs Hafner's class," He responds.
I won't make assumptions about why she switched her home room but i think its cos of me...
The bell rings and I am dismissed to my next class, Math. Luckily, I had that class with Sabrina as well. I was dismissed early so there was barely anyone in class by the time I was there. I watch as Sabrina walks in, not even sparing me a glance, as she immediately sat in her seat.
I let out a small sigh in defeat as the lesson starts. I try to keep focus but my eyes wander off from the board as I can't help stare at Sabrina. How could I fumble with her so bad.
I was snapped out of my thoughts as the teacher calls me out. "Mr Noon, is the back of Sabrina's head more fascinating than my lesson?"
I felt eyes from around the classroom on me as I sheepishly shake my head, embarrassed of getting caught.
RING!
I quickly grabbed my books trying to catch up with Sabrina who was walking quite quickly. She manages to slip away from me as I loose her in the sea of people.
"You've gotta understand she needs some time Connor," Val pats my shoulder.
"I know...I just- I fucked up," I sigh, the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt her. How could I be so stupid. The minute Ethan started talking I should have walked away.
Val bites the inside of her cheek, closing her eyes before letting out a sharp breath, " Look, You need apologise to her."
"Yeah no shit," I almost scoff. She glares at me before I mutter a quick apology at my rudeness.
"I know she I said she needs time but she doesn't, maybe she think she does but trust me all she really wants is for you to apologise and tell her what you did," Val explains.
"Ok, I get it. Thanks, Val," I smile. She nods at me in a 'you're welcome' type of way.
After school was over, I found myself at Sabrina's house, throwing pebbles at her bedroom window.
I've been there for about 15 minutes, but still no answer, I didn't give up though. I needed her to hear me out. I was going crazy over the fact that I hurt her and she's mad at me.
As I was about to throw another pebble, I hear someone speak up from behind me.
"Trying to wake up Luke? That's his room," Sabrina says, with her arms crossed over her chest. She rolls her eyes slightly, as she walks over to the front door, I follow behind her trying to catch up before she tried avoiding me again.
"Wait, Sabrina. Look, I need to apologise alright?" I start, grabbing her attention.
"You should start getting them in bulk if you're going to be handing them out this often," She snarkily replies back, clearly not having it.
I start to get frustrated, "I don't- I don't know how to do this okay! I'm..im not like you."
Her face hardens, as she gets defensive " What's that supposed to mean."
"It means- I screw up a lot! And when i'm around you...I just I don't wanna be that guy anymore," I admit. Her face softens slightly.
"Well who do you wanna be Connor?" She asks softly, uncrossing her arms.
"I wanna be someone who's good enough to be seen with you. Good enough to be with you." My face scrunches up in exasperation. "The bet was stupid. I wasn't thinking. That was who I was before I met you. When I thought no one else's feeling mattered but my own. I'm sorry, Bri. I am. Because you are an amazing girl and you didn't deserve any of this, especially not from me. The worst thing that I ever did...was what I did to you."
Just when I thought she was actually willing to forgive me she says.
"Well, you should have thought about that before you made that bet with Ethan in the first place," Tiredness was evident in her voice, like she was tired of thinking this.
She pinches the bridge of her nose, sighing as hurt is evident in her eyes, "You know...I keep putting myself out there and you keep screwing it up,it's probably a good thing because at this point there is nothing you could say or do that could ever surprise me-"
"I love you," I cut her off.
Her eyebrows raise in shock slightly. She stares at me for a moment, looking as if she's still processing it. In this moment, I felt unsure. God, it's so embarrassing if she doesn't say anything back. I just told her i loved her! Am I crazy?
"Except that...You shouldn't have done that, Connor," She trails off.
"But I wanted to."
"Yeah... ," The next thing I know she jumps onto me, kissing me. I put my hands on her waist as I kiss back. She pulls away just enough to look at me.
"I love you too," She flashes me a toothy smile.
Suddenly slight drizzle fell upon us. We look up, still holding each other as the rain got heavier.
"Just when I thought this couldn't get more cliche," She jokes.
Her hair is soaked by now and so was mine. She pulls me in for another kiss but this one last longer. I lean in closer, happy that I had got her back, for real this time.
"We're going to get so sick," She laugh pulling away. I brush a strand of hair that was sticking to her face, as my eyes trail down to the necklace that I had gotten her.
"You still wear it?" I ask kinda shocked.
"Noon, we fought for 2 days. Do you really think I'm that petty?" She asks half-joking.
I let out a sheepish laugh before she grabs my hand, dragging me into the house.
