"He said that to you?" David asked as we sat in the stairwell, just the two of us.
"Yea, he might as well have said he wanted to date another woman."

It wasn't totally What James had said, it was how he Said it.
"And plus he still hasn't said anything about you guys kissing." He added, taking a bite of his apple.
"I asked him if there was anything fun and exciting happening with you two while we were in lab tech last week and he said like "uh no, why would there be?" And I was all like- "because you guys normally do something on weekends?" And then I got distracted by Amelia nocking over the fat tub of bleach. " David told me, and I nodded along.

"What if he's like gay?" I say, starting at the wall.
"Then why would he have kissed you..?"
"No clue. Boys are weird." I say sipping my coke.

"Dianna please just, stay in the seat." James said right before class started, and people started filling their seats.

"I wanna sit by Lizzie though." I whined, while James tried to keep me in place on his lap.
"I know, I know. But you can't, Derik wants to sit next to her." He tells me quietly, his big arms rapped around me, the left one all the way round my waist, left one going across my chest with his hand holding my arm.
James is a big guy, like I know he is. But sometimes I look past it. He's very handsome too, any girl would throw themselves at him.

"Just sit quietly for a bit." He whispered, resting his chin on my shoulder, arms still around me.
"Are you gay?" I whispered back.
"No i am not?"
"Okay." I say, half relieved that I still stood a chance.

i didn't want to listen to the lesson about rewards, especially not with James looming over my shoulders.

like I've said before. id much prefer it if i got to do all there lessons online and alone.
i want to learn so i know how I'm supposed to be treated and things to watch out for but it makes it hard when i knew James is probably watching me trying to gage how i feel and what i'm interested in.

"-this is boring i wanna go home."
"no. listen."
i groaned and tossed my head back, letting it bounce back on jame's collar.

"then sleep or something, but your not leaving."
i groan clearly not happy.

i brush james's arms off, and start to scoot down off of him.
james grabbed my shoulder- probably thinking i was going to run.
"hang on." i tell him as i stood between his legs.

i sunk to the ground and sat in between james feet, and my head sat on the side of the bend in his knee.

i felt James fingers on the back of my head, stroking and twirling my hair.

i sat like ghat for most of the lesson, dozing off until like 10 minutes before the lesson ended where James put his hands under my arms and pulled me back up onto his lap, rapping his arms back around me.

"were gonna leave early. i have an idea." he told me.
