Chapter Four

"She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive." - Tear In My Heart, twenty one pilots

Gus' POV:

As she walks into her room, I feel as if I'm on Cloud Nine. I replay what just happened in my head. I press my back up against her door, sliding down. Once I hit the floor, I smile.

I kissed M. I figured out her name. This couldn't get any better.

I lean my head back, taking in the moment again. I must have closed my eyes, because when I opened them, Ross is standing above me. He laughs, holding his hand down to help me up.

"So?" Rydel presses.

"So what?" I ask as I take one more glance at M's door.

"What happened between you and M? You seemed pretty happy when you were sitting out in front of her door," Courtney giggles.

My face flushes, "Nothing. Her name. . . . It's Makenna."

"Makenna? Wow, pretty name for a pretty girl," Savannah says.

"Yeah," I say smiling down at the ground.

Ryland grabs my shoulder, spinning me around. I'm startled at first, but I make sure no one sees it. The boys all corner me, making me feel slightly uncomfortable. I try and move away, but they all block my path.

Ross smirks down at me, "What happened between you and Makenna?"

"Something must have, or your face wouldn't be red." Ryland says.

"Nothing happened!" I snap.

Riker is drawn back a bit, "Something happened. Just tell us."

"Boys! Leave Gus alone!" My Aunt Stormie says pushing through the boys.

"He won't tell us what happened with this girl that he met a few days ago!" Ryland pesters.

I feel my phone go off in my pocket. Someone was trying to call it, with an unknown number. I raise an eyebrow, before picking it up.

"Hello?" I ask.

"You stole my phone out of all people?" M asks with a giggle.

"But this is-" I pull it away to see Rocky laughing at me. "Yup, its your phone. I'll head back to your room and give it to you. I'm not that far anyway."

I push my way through a laughing Ryland, who was laughing so hard he was crying. Riker laughs when Rocky tells him what happened. I walk up to M's door, before knocking. I hang up the call, hiding her phone behind me. She opens the door smiling at me. M holds her hand out to me, asking for her phone back. I hold my hand out for my phone. She motions for me to give it to her. I motion to her to give me mine.

"You are really playing hard to get, aren't you?" M asks as she pulls my phone out from her back pocket.

"No, I just deserve my phone back first."

"Gus."

"Makenna."

"God, you're aggravating." She sighs.

"But you love me," I say leaning against her door.

"Maybe, but I would love you more, if you gave me my phone back."

"Give me mine back first." I say holding hers over my head.

She groans, "Guuuussss! Fine."

She hands my phone over in defeat. She holds her hand out to me, with a smile.
