Connor's POV

Devon and Elliot got detention for a week for fighting. As Devon and I walked home from school we had already stopped by my house-thankfully my father wasn't there- got my stuff. Now we were making our way back to Devon's house. He kept going on and on about the fight and how pissed off he was at Elliot. "Devon, listen, all the things Elliot did to me is in the past. I don't need you getting worked up over things like that. Calm down."I sighed. "No, Connor I will not calm down. He hurt you and I will make him pay." Devon growled. "He could have hurt you again."

"Please Devon I don't want you to be all pissed off like this." I put my hand on his shoulder. "Whatever..." He growled. We continue to his house and open the front door to find an angry mother. "Devon! Why did I get a call from school today saying you got detention for starting a fight?" She yelled.

"It was for a good reason mom!" Devon had yelled back at her. "Don't you raise your voice at me young man!" She turns to me. "Who's this?" Devon puts his hand on my shoulder. "This, is Connor. He's new to town and having some issues at home so I brought him here to stay with us." She gave me a small smile. "Well it's nice to meet you, Connor but we'll have to have a conversation about you staying in a moment. Right now I really need to talk to Devon about what happened at school. You can have a seat in the living room right over there." She pointed me in the direction of the living room. I nod and silently make my way over there. They begin to argue again for a good thirty minutes and didn't stop yet.

I sigh and lean back onto the large couch. "Why do I always get into situations like these?" Just then my phone vibrates and I pick it up to find a text from Jeremy.

Jeremy- J Connor-C

J- hey I heard what happened today. Are u ok?

C- I'm just fine.

J- why did Devon start the fight anyway?

C- he was upset about something I told him that happened between Elliot and I, a while back.

J- oh...I hope you don't mind me asking but what did happen between you and Elliot?

C- um...do you think you could come over so I can tell you? I don't want to text about it...

J- sure just send me the address.

I send the address to Devon's house and tell him I'll meet him outside.

I stand from the couch and head outside. Devon and his mom had slightly calmed down but we're still talking. I went to the front porch and sat down on the bench.

I told a deep breath and closed my eyes for a minute, relaxing. I haven't had a good chance in a while to just sit down and relax. I smile to myself.

Not to long later I hear a car drive up. I open my eyes to see Jeremy walking up the porch steps and taking a seat next to me on the bench.

"Hey." He smiles. "Hey." I smile back awkwardly. "So you gonna tell me about what happened with Elliot?" My eyes flicker away from him and to the green grass in the yard. "Yeah..."

I tell him everything. About Elliot being my best friend, my crush on him, and how he found out and bullied me. "That's awful."
"Yeah." I continue to look away from him. I feel him gently grab my face and turn it to look at him. "But you're okay right?" He asked softly.

"Yeah. Just a little shaken up is all." I mumble. He smiled softly. I blushed deeply. He placed his hand on top of mine and we looked out into the yard in front of Devon's house. His mom had a little garden growing all types of beautiful and colorful flowers. I smile at the scene. "You look so beautiful when you smile." I look over to him and see he has a look of something I couldn't figure out in his eyes. I smile shyly.

"Connor?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I kiss you?"

My eyes widened. I was nervous. What if I wasn't a good enough kisser? What if he doesn't like it? So many thoughts went through my head and I think he could tell what I was thinking. "Its fine if you don't want to-" I cut him off. "No, it's fine. I'm just nervous since I've never had my first kiss and all." I let out a breathy laugh. "Really?" He asks in disbelief. "Yeah..."

"So, I'll be your first." His eyes twinkle a little at that. "Yeah," I laugh again. "Alright, I'm ready. You can kiss me. Just, no tongue." I joked. He laughed. I wasn't sure where this confidence was coming from but I eventually found myself leaning towards Jeremy. He placed a gentle, soft kiss on my lips. It was a cute kiss. Not too much of anything. I felt a warm feeling deep in my chest.

"Connor?" A sudden voice asks.
