Forbidden bad boy love.

RECAP

JOSH'S POV

"Alright bro, just making sure. I trust you, dude. Don't make me regret that. Well I'll see you later." We fist bumped and then he was off. I kept walking until the bell rang. When it did, the only thing I was thinking was that I trusted him too. All of them actually. Of course not enough to tell them everything, Jasmine will be the only person that will ever know my entire story, but enough to the point where I could be myself around them. I finally had true friends and a girl that was flipping my world upside down... and I was loving every second of it.

Jasmine's POV

Yesterday was fun. After we ate, we went for a walk at the park which turned into us letting our inner children out, and running around like maniacs.

Right now, I'm in my last class, geometry, Josh has this for his last class too, but with a different teacher. We still have about thirty minutes, and we're supposed to be doing a test, but I'm already done. This class is 90 minutes long and I finished my test about 20 minutes ago. It was a little tricky with 70 questions, but I'm really good with numbers, so I got them pretty fast. I'm always the first one to finish and even now, 20 minutes after me, I'm the only one done. Being the easily bored person I am, I took out a sheet of paper and a pen and began drawing what popped into my head. I wouldn't think about what I was going to draw, I'd just let my hand do the work.

~~~~~

"Okay class, time is up. please pass your tests forward." Announced Ms. Treviño. Wha-? That was fast. I thought as I looked up from my paper, not even thinking of looking over it. I sit in the last seat, so I didn't have to collect any papers. How can it be time to leave already?? I was astonished at how fast the time had passed. Sure enough, when I checked the time, there were only 3 minutes left of class. Weird. I was going to start putting my stuff away, but froze in place as I looked down at the paper I had been drawing, sketching, and doodling on. All over the paper "Josh" was written, drawn, sketched, and doodled in various different ways. Some had smiley faces at the end or hearts. "What the fuck?" I asked lowly to not draw attention to myself. Quickly, I shoved the paper into my backpack, put my pen and folder away, and got up from my desk. The bell was about to ring, so the teacher didn't stop me. When I was half way through the room, the bell rang and everyone shuffled out. Still in my almost frozen state, I walked down the super crowded hallways. Some people moved out of the way, and others just stared, like normal except this time, I didn't care because I was practically frozen. I couldn't even feel my legs, I just kept on walking. Look at me. all frozen like some stupid, lovestruck tee- lovestruck? I'm not in love! Love doesn't exist! I just like him. That's it, nothing else. Maybe I just want to kiss him again. When we kiss, it feels magical, like we're the I only two people on earth. No! stop it. Snap out of it woman! pull yourself together!! I ranted and corrected myself in my head.

When I finally snapped out of it, I realized I was standing in front of my car. In the morning I had told Josh that I'd take him to get more clothes from his house, so I guess I had to wait for him. I was so nervous and terrified that he'd be able to see it in my eyes just how much I liked him, so I did what I know best. I blocked my emotions and feelings. I caged them, built a dam, just held them all in the back of my mind. Now he won't be able to see anything like the rest of the people.

"Hey Jasmine. Ready to go?" I turned to look at him, the guy that changed my entire world. He had a huge smile on his face, all I could muster was the most convincing fake smile that I had, hoping he wouldn't see trough it.

"Yupp. C'mon" I said as I unlocked my car and got in. We drove to his house in silence, with only the music to fill the car. He'd look at me every now and then, I could see him in my peripheral vision, but I never looked at him. When I stopped at his house, I unlocked the door and waited for him to climb out.
