Collision Of Keith & Dawn (COMPLETED)

Chapter 6

I searched all over the school, every empty classroom, every bathroom stall of the men's toilet. Yes, you heard that right. When I went outside there he was, sitting on the bleachers looking out at the football field, a cigarette between his lips. I stood mesmerised.

The way his cheeks dipped in when he took a drag was captivating, his jaw so prominent. I never paid this kind of attention to Keith, I knew he was good looking but, he was more than that. With my past I saw allot of smokers, but none of them made smoking look so damn attractive and compelling. I stepped onto the bleachers and slowly made my way towards him, sitting down on the worn out bench. My side almost touching his and looked out onto the field. He made no attempt at looking at me, somehow that irritated me.

"What the hell happened in there?" I asked, he blew out a thick cloud of smoke and I moved my gaze to his face, only to see he was looking straight at me. "None of your business Phillips" he spat out harshly.

Bish-, well that was kind of true, it wasn't my business even if I wanted it to be at this moment. I placed my hand on his arm and he stilled under my touch. "Please Keith don't be like this, what happened to you?" I pushed on saying his name, hoping it would do something to him.

"It doesn't matter".

"Yes it does Keith, it matters, you matter for God's sake".

"Why are you here anyway? you don't want to be friends, heck I don't need to be your pity project".

"You're not a project you asshat, plus I fancy a change".

I touched his arm and his eyes almost seemed to brightened up a shade, his famous smirk graced his lips"Why are you so perfect Phillips?".

Wait, come again.

"I'm not perfect" I laughed awkwardly, Keith's eyes moved over my face, as if to memorize what I looked like. "Yes you are, your smile, your psyhotic laugh, your attitude, your body, your face, those eyes that change color so drastically. You never see it?".

I was speechless, I knew I wasn't awful, Pretty okay I guess; but not... perfect. Keith said all these things but he doesn't even know the part of me that I keep hidden. I shook my head, "You're so wrong Keith, you don-". He grabbed my face in his hands, not roughly but with enough strength to shut me up. He stared into my eyes and I into his. The world stopped spinning. It felt like it was just me and him.

"Shit I think they're gonna kiss".

I jumped startled, quickly pulling away. Keith leaned back, scratched the back of his head in that awkward boyish way and looked away from me. I turned around to face the culprits, Josie's head was hidden behind the bleachers, her red hair being given away by the wind. She looked around to sneak a glance at us and when she saw me looking she waved as if nothing had ever happened, "Oh hey Dawn, didn't see you there", Sen's head came into view next, a guilty look on her face.

"I'm sure you didn't" I called out, Josie was really bad at lying, a lot of my friends were. On the other hand, if they didn't disturb us; something could have happened and I'm sure it would have been a MAJOR mistake. I mean, Ridgeway's player bad boy with the school's party animal and detention addict, Yeah i dont think so...I got up, dusted my ass and walked over to them, "I swear Dawn, we didn't mean to snoop" Josie babbled and I smirked at her, "You mean, we didn't mean to get caught" I corrected and her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink.

"Lets go to class before we're late" I said, they led the way but before I left, I turned to look at Keith one last time, he was looking out onto the field again, this time there was a smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile too.

He was in there, he just needed a little push. And if there's anyone who knows how to push, It's me.

I sat in class and instead of studying I was thinking about a pair of penetrating blue eyes. Although, I found myself frowning at it. Why was I thinking about Keith? Well the only reasonable explanation was, I was a female and he was clearly a very fine specimen of the opposing sex. THEREFORE, my woman nature was- Fuck that, It's too much explaining.
