Chapter 26

(3 days later) Tuesday

"Ryan stooop"

He nibbled on my neck and hugged me tightly from behind.

"You didn't call me last night, I missed your voice" he mumbled against my skin.

"I fell asleep doing homework!" I giggled.

"So homework is more important than me" he said "I thought we had something special, babe"

I laughed and turned around. He still held me close. I put my hands on his chest.

"I won't EVER forget again" I giggled.

"You better not" he smiled.

I put my hands on his cheeks and pulled him close for a reassuring kiss.

"Now how bout we go to class?" I smiled.

"Ugh you're such a little nerd" walked out of the parking lot and put his arm around my shoulder "but your my little nerd" he kissed my forehead.

"Class, your final papers are going to be due next Thursday. Very important that this is your work and your work only" his eyes looked onto Ryan.

"Why are you looking at me!?" Ryan said.

The professor rolled his eyes then resumed .. "Anyhow, this is a very large portion of your grade so please take it serio-" Dr. Blake said before the bell rang.

Everyone stood up and didn't let him finish his sentence.

"Class is not dismissed!" He said as people charged for the door.

I texted Ryan as I walked through the hallway and towards the exit. I had practice, thats why i was on my way to the parking lot for my change of clothes. I then decided to text Ryan.

Me; got practice until 6pm /:

Ryan; mine is till 7:30pm. See you tomorrow tho (;

I smiled lightly and slid my phone into my back pocket. I then ran into Jake.

"oh sorry" I said.

he saw me and quickly looked at the floor.

my eyebrows wrinkled and I tilted my head with confusion. why was he acting like this?

"what's wrong?" I asked gently. i thought we had agreed to stay friends..?

"nothing" he raised his head and began to walk away.

"Jake" I grabbed his arm.

he looked at my hand on his arm then looked at my eyes.

I remained in my confused state.

"I should be leaving, Kristen" he said.

"why? I thought we were friends" I said, a bit hurt.

"if Ryan sees me talking to you, he'll freak" Jake said as he looked around. no one was in the hallway.

"what do you mean? what did he tell you?" I mumbled lightly, almost to myself.

"he-"

we then heard some voices coming from another hallway. they were getting closer and sounded like .. the cheerleading team, James, Tyler, Chad, RYAN.

he grabbed me and pushed me into the janitor's closet. I was about to yelp since I was taken by surprise, when he covered my mouth and held me against the wall. we waited for the voices to disappear and then he uncovered my mouth.
