The English Project

Chapter 11

Unfortunately my break has come to an end and right now I'm walking towards the school building. Just as I'm a about to open the two doors and get inside a voice called my name, a voice that is absolutely familiar, I turn around to see James jogging towards me

"Um... Hey!" He awkwardly scratches the back of his neck

"Hi!" I force a smile

He sighs "Look! I'm sorry about the other night Ok? I was drunk and I don't know what got to me" He stops "I'm really sorry" I look at the ground and he continues "I know that what I was about to do is unforgivable but thankfully Nick came in time" He runs his fingers through his hair "I really am sorry!"

I look up at him and smile "It's Ok!"

"Really?" He raises an eyebrow

"Yeah! It's not like I'm gonna hate you forever" I shrug

"Thank you!" He grins widely "Can I um...?" He motions for me to hug him

"Of course!" I chuckle as I hug him but suddenly I was pulled harshly by the arm out of his embrace

"What the hell do you want from her?" Nick yells as he pushes me behind him

"I was apologizing!" James answers

"Apologizing? Really? Do you know what you were about to do?" Nick clenches his jaw

"Nick! It's ok! I forgive him!" I try pulling him back

He turns to me "What the hell? You kidding right?"

"No! I'm not! What happened happened and he apologized!"

Nick opens his mouth to say something but James stops him "I think I'll leave you two and thanks for stopping me the other night, Nick" He then passes us into the building

"Don't you ever get near her again!" Nick yells after James he then turns to me looking quiet annoyed "I can't believe you!"

I sigh "Nick! He was drunk!"

"Yeah! But those are sober thoughts!"

"Nick! Please just let it go!"

"No! What if he tried it again?"

"Nick! Just..." I run my fingers through my hair "Why do you care?"

"I-I just-" He stutters

"You what?" I raise my eyebrows

"Just Come on!" He grabs my wrist and pulls me after him.

Nick's Point Of View

That's it! I'm gonna tell her, I'm not sure if she feels the same but I'd never know if I didn't try.

"Where are we going?" Sara asks as I pull her after me

"We're skipping the first period"

"What? No!" She tries escaping my grip but fails miserably

"I need to tell you something!"

"Ok!" She sighs "Can you at least tell me where are we going?"

"We are here!" I say as we reach the football field

"Really?" She crosses her arms below her chest

"Yeah! It's quiet and I really need to tell you something"

"Spill!"

"Ok! I-I" I stutter, Damn it! Why am I so nervous?

"You what?" She asks and I don't say anything "You're gonna tell me or should I leave?" She gives me a questioning look

I take a deep breath "I'm not sure how you gonna react but I'm gonna tell you anyway" I look deep in her eyes "I like you! I really do!" Her eyes widen in surprise but she doesn't say anything, I wait for a few moments but she still doesn't say anything, I sigh "I'm sorry! You can forget about-"

"Me too!" She interrupts me quickly

"What?"

"Me too! I like you too!" She smiles

I grin widely as I slide my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me and crash my lips into hers, her hands sneak to the back of my neck as she kisses back, we pull away both of us grinning from ear to ear

"I think we should head back!" I say as I intertwine our fingers

"Ok!" She smiles

We walk back to the building just in time for our second period "I'll see you later!" I give her a quick peck on the cheek then head to my class.

School passed pretty fast and before I knew it, I was heading to my last class and I'd be lying if I said I got a word today, my mind kept going back to Sara, to the fact that she likes me too and that we actually kissed, it's just overwhelming.

I opened the door of the English classroom and immediately a smile was formed on my lips as I spotted Sara sitting in her usual place, I sat in the chair next to her and she smiled "I missed you!" I pouted

"This is so cheesy!" She chuckled, I opened my mouth to say something but Mr. Nelson came in and started the class, just like the rest of the day I didn't hear a word, my mind kept going back to Sara while secretly stealing glances at her.

Soon enough the bell rang indicating the end of the day, we collected our stuff and headed out of the classroom hand in hand "So, how was your day?" I asked as we walked through the halls

"As usual" She shrugged "Yours?"

"Mine was great a while ago!"

"Why? What happened?" She frowned

"I didn't know it didn't mean anything to you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know? What happened between us earlier"

"What? No! I didn't mean that I thought you were talking about classes and-" She stopped when I bursted out laughing, she raised her eyebrow

"I was kidding, babe!"

"What?" She slapped my arm playfully "I hate you!"

"No, you don't!" I put my arms around her shoulder "You looked cute, by the way"

"Nick!" She warned

"Ok! Ok!"

"I'll see you later?" She asked as we reached her car

"Sure! Um-" I stopped scratching my neck, Damn! I need stop being nervous!

"Yeah?"

"Who are you going to spring formal with?"

"Well! I was thinking about going with James" I tensed up just on the mention of his name "but after what happened don't think so"

"So you don't have a date?" I smirked

"Apparently!" She shrugged

"Great!" I straightened myself "Will you go to spring formal with me?"

"Yes!"
