"So what are you gonna say to Penny?" I look at him confused. 

"She kind of told me what happened..." 

I sigh and rest my head on my hand then reply, "I have no idea. I didn't even want to kiss him I-" 

"Wait what!?", he interrupts. "All she told me was she saw you two together. I just thought she was over exaggerating about you two talking. You kissed Andrew!?" 

"No. No. I almost kissed him. No wait... I didn't try to kiss Andrew. He tried to kiss me. I just... didn't really stop him."

I search his face for judgment or disgust but find confusion. 

"Why?", he asks plainly. 

"I don't know. I couldn't control myself. It was like I was screaming at my body to stop him, to move him, or just move away from him in general but.. I couldn't."

 He looks over at me when we get to a red light. I look back at him. He's obviously worried about me but I turn away and tell him to drive. When we get to school, we see Penny standing by the gate. Connor turns to me.

"Sorry. You know I can't leave her or she'll hate both of us and be all alone." I move my hair out of my face, having forgotten to put it up for school. 

"Yeah. I know. I'd do the same thing. Catch ya later? Or should I call you tonight?" He smiles, probably happy I'm not mad with him.

"Yeah. We'll talk tonight." 

He locks his car and runs to catch up with Penny. I fix my hair again and adjust the bandage on my hand and sigh as I pull my bag over my arm. This was gonna be a lot harder to fix if Penny wasn't even talking to me. Maybe Connor would put in a good word for me. 

I turn from the, bright, red car. Suddenly, my forehead smacks right into someone's chest causing me to trip on my feet and start spiraling backwards into Connor's car. Right when I think I'm going to fall into the car, I feel a hand around my waist. I look only to see Andrew is the one holding me.
