Let Go (Wattys 2017)

Chapter Thirteen-Yes

I sat in math class trying. Trying really hard to stay awake. All I wanted to do was fall asleep and relive the moment that happened last night. After we had our moment. We shared laughs, tears and...it was just perfect.

I felt a tap on my shoulder causing me to look over meeting a pair of blue eyes. Aiden smiled and handed me a piece of paper. I quickly grabbed it and opened the piece of paper.

I heard someone went out.

My eyes grew wide and I turned towards him. "Who told you!" I whisper yelled leaning over my desk. He smirked, sliding the paper off my desk before writing something else and passing it to me.

A friend of a friend

My eyebrow quirked up and I smirked, "And who exactly is this friend of a-"

"Ms. Sanders, is there something you need to tell me?" He said. I looked down at my hands and bit my lip. "No sir."

I looked back at Aiden and saw him smirk at me. I rolled my eyes and threw the paper at his face.

"Ms. Sanders, detention!"

I jumped before frowning my face. "Dammit Aiden." I muttered. I could feel that he was smiling. The rest of class went by smooth and actually kind of fun. Aiden and I passed notes, he's a really cool dude to be around. Right now we were outside. The school day had went by fast and it was time to go home.

I tapped Aiden on the shoulder, he turned towards me and smiled, "I have to go home now. See you tomorrow." I waved and turned, walking away.

I could hear the shallow sound of footsteps following behind me. I stopped turning around with a scowl on my face. Aiden smiled at me. I shook my head and smiled. "Where are you going?" I laughed.

He made like his fingers were walking and pointed at me. He wanted to walk me home. My smirk grew into a smile, "I can walk home alone."

"That you won't be doing." I heard the voice that was music to my ears. I looked over and smiled at Adam. He smiled back and put his hand in mine. I squeezed his hand. He looked down at me with admiration.

"Adam this is my friend Aiden." I smiled at Aiden. Aiden smiled at Adam. I saw Adam furrow his eyebrows, "He's mute." I said. Adam made the oh face before smiling back at Aiden. "Nice to meet you man. Don't worry I'll take care of her. I'll walk her home." Adam beamed. I smacked my forehead.

"Adam, Dude, you live right next to me."

"You just brightened my day." Adam smiled. I smiled back before seeing Aiden fidgeting with his hands. I got the feeling that he was probably uncomfortable. I reached and touched his arm, "Aiden?"

His eyes met mine and he smiled at me. It was a cute little smile.

"Aiden." Someone called.

Aiden turned as Jeremy came behind. Jeremy stopped when his eyes landed on me before. His eyes grew wide, they darted from Aiden to me. I squeezed Adam's hand, "Hey Montgomery!" Adam yelled waving at Jeremy. Jeremy smiled before coming to Aiden's side.

"Hey, we have to go." I said.

"We should hang sometimes." Adam said beside me. I looked up at him with a raised eyebrow. He only smiled down at me. I looked over at Aiden and Jeremy. Jeremy just looked unsure while Aiden held a phone to his ear.

He took a piece of paper and pushed it towards me. Soon he handed me a pen. I caught on and wrote my number on the paper. "Talk to you later." I said, I saw Aiden furrow his eyebrows. I smacked my forehead smiling, "You know what I mean. Bye." I turned around pulling Adam behind me.

We walked to his house and he still hadn't let go of my hand. But, who's complaining. He unlocked the door and pulled me in behind him. I walked sitting on the couch and closing my eyes.

"You sure you don't want to go home?" Adam asked.

I scoffed at him and rolled my eyes behind closed eyelids, "That's merely a house that I share with monsters, I wouldn't exactly call that home."

"Wow your just dripping with sarcasm. And the little low-key eye roll; yeah it closes the deal nicely."

I opened my eyes and slapped Adam's arm. "Ow. Boulder hands." Adam muttered smiling at me.

"Your going to want to refrain from calling me names." I hissed.

Adam smirked at me his eyes set a blaze. "Or what?" He said. Don't you just love it when people challenge you? The profanity, the sarcasm, the violence? It's all just so beautiful.

"Or I'll show you how heavy my hands are." I hissed. He nodded and stood, "Baboon face."

I shoot up from the couch and ran after Adam. Thing is Adam is fast, like really, really fast. He ran into a room and closed the door in my face. I put my hand on the handle shaking it violently. "You are such a cheater!" I yelled hitting the door. I bit my lip as the door slowly opened

Breathing heavily I threw the door open. It was an empty room. There was nowhere to go and nowhere to hide. Adam had to be in here. My eyebrow raised in confusion.

A piece of paper caught my eye. It was taped to the window and slightly lifted whenever a breeze blew. I took slow steps towards the window. My heart raced inside my chest. I took the letter off the window and read it.

Check
Yes or no

I furrowed my eyebrows together and slowly turned around, and met a pair of beautiful purple eyes. He stood in front of me in an awkward pose, his hand stuffed into his pockets.

"Wha-What is this?" I asked him. He walked towards me standing incredibly close. He took the piece of paper out of my hand before balling it up and throwing it on the floor. He put both of his hands in mine bringing them to his chest before locking eyes with me. A small smirk raised at the corner of his mouth and a strand of hair fell into his eye. I could feel my breath shortening and my eyes growing wide.

"Molly Sanders, will you be my girlfriend?" Adam smiled.

I didn't say a word, his eyes grew sad and his eyebrows furrowed together. "Molly please, I know what you're thinking. Please let me prove you wrong. Give us a chance. " Adam pleaded squeezing my hands tighter.

I fought with myself, I fought against the side that told me I wasn't good enough and the side that told me otherwise. I looked into those pleading purple eyes, even though I might not deserve it, Adam deserves a chance, I gave him a small smile and nodded my head.

His face beamed and his smile grew, "What!"

I began to grin from ear to ear, "Yes!" I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck, placing a passionate kiss on his lips. Strangely, he kissed me back.
