~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

November had zoomed by and December was quickly approaching within the next few days. The weather had taken a huge turn and it was becoming quite cold, not that I was complaining, it was about time it started getting cooler. After all, winter was coming quick and the fact that just a few weeks ago I was wearing shorts outside was a bit absurd. It wasn't overly cold where I needed a thick coat and layers of clothing to keep me warm but a long sleeve wasn't going to cut it. The condensation on my window was a clear indication of how chilly is was going to be outside this Monday morning. The cloud cover was slowing moving in only causing the wind to pick up speed making it look more cold and dry.

I dress in a pair of blue denim jeans, a light grey wool sweater and a black leather jacket on top. It was warm yet casual at the same time. I leave my hair out, letting them flow freely down my back. I slip on my black combat boots and a dark grey scarf, wrapping it around my neck to keep me warm from the cold air outside.

"You ready to go?"

"Yeah I'll be down in a minute" I glance at his appearance noticing he too was dressed in warm clothes.

He wore a pair of dark wash jeans with a thick dark green and black plaid hoodie, the light grey sleeves sticking out of his black leather jacket. His black Timberland boots on his feet completed his outfit. In his left hand he carries his helmet silently telling me we're taking his motorcycle to school today.

"Okay. I'll wait downstairs." He nods giving me a small smile as he leaves my doorway.

I take a quick glance in the mirror making sure I look somewhat decent before grabbing my bag and slinging it over my right shoulder. I snatch my phone placing it and my keys in the small pocket of my bag. I grab my helmet quickly glancing at the state of my bedroom before closing the door and heading downstairs. I smile at Four telling him I'm ready to go and he locks the door after us.

"You have volleyball practice after school right?" I nod turning to look at him as I sit on his bike, "I'll meet you outside the girls gym after I finish in the studio, okay?"

"Okay. Where is the studio anyways?" I ask placing my helmet on. The three months I've been at this school I have never been there nor have I ever seen a possible door that may lead to this abandoned studio.

"I can show you before we leave school if you want." He gets on the bike placing his helmet on his head and inserting the key.

"Okay." I smile, wrapping my arms around his hardened stomach.

Something had definitely changed between us since the party Four threw on Saturday. I don't what I did or what I said, partly because a lot of that night was still a bit hazy and I couldn't remember much of what happened after Connor had left and I agreed to have a couple shots with my friends before I went to bed. Everything after that I couldn't remember but just waking up in Fours bed that afternoon told me that I could of let out more than I intended to. I just didn't know how much and if I had he didn't say anything which worried me even more. A part of me was happy with the way he was acting towards me. It was sweet and I didn't want him to stop, we were finally acting like friends. Not that we weren't friends before but this was different, it was better. I was slowly growing fond of the relationship we had but what scared me more was what would happen if he suddenly left me. It was that type of relationship where you wouldn't know what to do if that someone just happened to disappear and I couldn't imagine how hard it would be for me to cope with it.

I breathe a sigh before pushing the thoughts to back of my mind as we pull into the schools parking lot, focusing on the day before me wanting it to be over just as quick as it had begun.
