In Love with a Gallagher

Skipping with Lip - Part 1

"Come on just help him move on!" Ian Gallagher begged me as we walked to class together. "Ian what makes you think he's even into me like that or even will be into me at all." I said as we made our way through the crowd.
"I don't know if he will be but he needs a push out of the state he's in!" Ian pulled me back from walking into class to finish talking. We still had a minute or so to go before the bell. "He's heartbroken right?" Ian nods "Then why try to break his heart again over something that isn't real?" I asked seriously. "It's not supposed to be real, it's just supposed to show him there's still other girls out there for him." Ian point out. I sighed heavily and rolled my eyes, "Fine I'll try but I doubt it's gonna work." I walked into the class room leaving Ian behind to swallow my answer.

It's the end of the day and schools about to let out, I go to the bench across from the front doors of the school like I normally do. Lip comes out lighting a cigarette right a way. Damn I thought to myself why does he have to make smoking look so hot. He looks towards me and we make eye contact. I smile and wave. Lip returns it. It sends butterflies in my stomach. Yes It took a lot for me to agreed to help Ian get Lip to move on. But the whole time I was just jumping at saying yes. Since I've been here I've found Lip irresistible! But I meant it when I said I didn't think he'd be into me like that.

   It's been a couple days since Ian asked me to help him and I haven't made much progress. I haven't found an opening if you'd say that.
    My day started out with a headache, I put my head down in my third period class to try to soothe it, because we were just watching a movie. "Ms. Lin stay after class please." Mr. Kent said loudly next to me making me sit up.
   "I'm sorry for laying my head down sir it just hasn't been my morning." I said as I got to the front of his desk and the room was empty. He got up to stand really close to me and touched a strand of my short blonde hair. "Your hair always looks so soft, makes me wanna touch it"
  I pulled my head away and stormed out the door. The hallway was almost empty by the time I made it to the back doors of the school. On my way there I didn't realize I'd passed Lip by the bathrooms.
    I pushed through the back doors and stood on the steps for a couple minutes. Contemplating whether or not I really wanted to skip. Then I heard the doors open behind me and a flick of a lighter. I looked back to see Lip lighting a cigarette. "If you're planning on skipping this isn't the way to do it." He said cooly with the cigarette wiggling in his mouth as he talked. He leaned up again the rail of the steps and faced me. I waited as he took a few puffs of his cigarette and turned to him, I gave him a 'oh and what do you suggest look'. He returned my look with a puff of smoke and a smirk. He threw the half smoked cigarette to the ground, "follow me" Lip told me as he pushed back through the doors we'd just came through.
    We slowly made our way towards the gym and went out through the gyms back door. We headed towards the track and football field. When we were about half way across the field heading towards the fence to jump it to be off school grounds a teacher seen us and began yelling at us from the gym. I looked over at Lip to see what he was planning.
    I smiled excitedly, "Run!" I yelled with a laugh and took off towards the fence. He was right behind me as I started to climb the fence, once we were over we kept running for a couple blocks.
     We stopped running, laughing with each other and trying to catch our breath. Lip looked up at me from where he was kneeling over, with a sexy smile that made me want to jump on top of him to kiss him. "I didn't expect you to actually run!" He said in between gasps for air. "What can I say I like to surprise people." I said smiling while I started to walk away from him. "Hey! Wait up!" Lip said catching up.
"So what are you going to do now Gallagher?" I asked him looking straight forward. "I thought I was hanging out with you?" He questioned. "Oh, I just thought you were getting me out of there, didn't think you'd wanna hang out."
Instead of replying to that he changed the subject, "So then where we headed?"
"Let's go to my house." I said starting to lead the way.

   "Okay listen you've got to be quiet. Both my parents are home, they should be in bed sleeping." I told him opening the door slowly, he gave me a nod telling me he understood. We climbed the stairs quietly, once at the top we took a left and then my room was the first right. I pushed him in there and told him not to do anything that I'd be right back.
    I walked down to the end of the hall on the right of the stairs to my parents room. I knocked on the door a few times, hearing a groan or two from being woken I push the door open. "Hey mom," I give her shoulder a shake and her eyes fly open. "Sorry to wake you but I've got a major headache and my third period teacher is a creep and was making moves on me so I ditched school. You'll be getting a call about it soon." I told her quickly so that I could let her go back to sleep. She closed her eyes and nodded her head, "Okay Kye, go lay down and take a nap and tomorrow switch out of that class asap." She rolled over after she was done talking. "Okay mom love you." I said as I walked out the room shutting the door behind me.
   It wasn't that I was afraid of getting into trouble for skipping. It was getting caught with a boy in my room. But my mom knows how my headaches get so she won't be checking on me at all.
I get to my room and Lips sitting on my bed staring at the things littering the floors, walls, and bed. I blush as I shut the door and he grins holding up a zebra striped bra that was laying next to him in a pile of my underwear and bras. "I like a girl who's got a wild side." He says with a smirk. I snatch it away and walk to my radio, turning it on so that we can't be heard. Plus that's how I normally sleep anyways.
When I turn back around he's going through the rest, "I'll model them for you if you want me to?" I said biting my lip and he looks up "That'd be awesome!"
"Hang on," I said walking over to my dress and grabbing the Advil, I popped two in my mouth and washed it down with water.
I then pick up the pile of undergarments to start trying them on. "Hey we can wait for that," Lip said grabbing my wrist and pulling me to the bed, causing me to drop most of the underwear and bras. "Let's just watch a movie or something until your feeling better." I smile as I crawl onto the bed to the side next to the wall. Lip gets up and starts a movie. Turning the radio down. He puts in "the Vow". I knew instantly I was going to be falling asleep seeing how I've seen this movie plenty.
He sits down next to me but has a foot of space between me and him because I have a queen size bed. I bite my lip with happiness. "So what'd you have to do?" He asked about when I pushed him in here. "Just to let my mom know that I skipped" he gave me an odd look as I said this. "They don't care because I told them the truth. The only thing I didn't tell them was that I had a boy in my room. That's the only thing I've got to worry about." I told him sitting up moving a little closer to him and laying down on my right side facing him, closing my eyes.

    "Should I prepare myself to be running out that window any minute now?" He asked as he moved himself to where he was laying down facing me, I opened my eyes to his gorgeous blue eyes. "No" I bit my lip slowly, closing my eyes at the same time. Then I felt his thumb brushing against the lip that I had been biting. Then it's gone and I miss his touch already. I open my eyes and his are shut. But something seems to be bothering him. I close mine to let myself drift off to sleep.
