I walked over to Conner the next day. I couldn't sleep that night I was so giddy to see him. His back was turned to me. I tapped on his shoulder and he slowly turned. I gasped. His eye was a dark blackish purple and slightly swollen. His lip was cut and purple. I placed a finger on his eye and he flinched. "What happened? Are you ok?" I asked my voice shaking with anger an pity.
He gently took my hand in his bringing it to his lips. " Nothing happened." He said his warm breath brushing over my slender fingers. I felt like I was melting under his warm, comforting gaze. Everything seemed to fade in the background.
"Are you excited for prom. I think I'm going to get a dress today." I told him. He let go of my hand and I automatically wanted to take his and back in mine. I loved the way his calloused hand felt in my smooth skinned one. I looked up at him and found a puzzled look in his beautiful face.
"What do you mean?" He asked. I felt extremely stupid at the moment. I shifted under the uncomfortable silence. "Um you asked me to prom yesterday and I said yes." I whispered sheepishly. His brow furrowed deeper. He stared at me a second then pulled out his notebook flipping through the pages. His eyes widened in surprise.
He place a hand on my shoulder and locked eyes with mine. "Tell me everything that happened yesterday." He said hurriedly. I rattled off the day including the part he asked me to prom. He wrote every word down occasionally asking me to stop so he could spell a long word or finish a sentence. When I finished he looked relieved but still a little jumpy. I took his hand in mine and locked eyes with him again. His eyes were such a bright green that it made my heart jump. I blinked slowly wishing that the stupid boy would kiss me already.
Suddenly Conner was pulled away from me. "I thought I told you yesterday to stay away from her!" A voice yelled. I looked around, looking for the source of the voice. I saw Zack towering over Conner about to start kicking him in ribs. I grabbed Zack's arm and started screaming at him to stop. Everyone in the hall stopped moving and stared at the brewing fight. Zack turned, grabbing my wrist and pulling me into him, " I know you're just tying to make me jealous. Just dump this loser already." He said roughly his hot breath running over my face.
I resisted gagging and spit in his face, " Jerk." I sneered at him, pushing him away. I rushed over to Conner who was already pushing himself up. I helped him up the rest of the way, keeping myself between him and Zack. I felt Zack's murderous glare burning a hole into the back of my head. Conner leaned in close to me and whispered quietly into my ear, " Thank you." I felt goosebumps run down my arms at his soft, kind, voice. Footsteps behind me told me that Zack was stomping away. I smiled sweetly up at Conner and, to my surprise, he smiled back at me. His smile was warm and full of love and compassion. At that moment I wanted the idiot to kiss me, but he still didn't.
