Close Call

(Connors house up top)

Cole, I saw Cole. I feel this liquid go down my cheek. I'm crying I didn't know why. "Where's Conner?" I asked. "He didn't want to see you like this so he left." he stated. "Oh ok..." "Why were you crying?" Cole asked. "Just an old memory."

°°°

Well I have to go to school. I will see Conner, and Cole today. Well at least I won't be alone. I get up and get dressed in black skinnies, a Pierce the Veil shirt, my converse, and a black hoodie. I get my backpack and start walking to school. I met up with Cole on the way there, we had a decent conversation. We talked about how I had a game room, and that he wanted to come over some more to play some games, talk, and catch up.

I went to my locker and got my stuff for math, and started to walk to my class. I got stopped, so I look up and I see Connor. I look into his eyes and I say "Hi" with an awkward wave. He looked back at me and he asked "Are you ok?" I nod my head " last night I had a memory of when my parents left me." "oh, ok are you sure you're ok?" I nod once again "I swear i'm fine. Now lets go to class before we're late." "Ok let's go" He motioned for me to go first and I walk forward slowly. I hear him walking behind me and I feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time I feel really protected. We made  it to class right before the bell rang. I sat in the back like I always do, and I felt a presence beside me and I look over to see Cole. Then Connor came over and sat on the other side of me. I look forward and ignore them while I do my work until I feel Cole put his hand on my thigh. I look down to see his hand, and I reach down to move it off of my leg so I can focus. I look over to see a red faced Connor, and I write him a note to say 'I moved his hand, you shouldn't be mad' he replied with 'I'm glad that you moved his hand it just makes me mad that he would even do that.' 'I hope he don't do it agai-' My paper got snatched by a very angry math teacher. "Do you mind if I read this out loud?" I nodded "I kinda do mind" "Oh well" The teacher goes to the front of the class and reads the note to the whole class, while i'm sitting here, all red faced, in between two mad strong guys. I swear if looks could kill Cole would have been dead. The bell finally rang and I was the first one to be out of the class and to my locker. I get pinned against the lock and I turn and see Cole. He looks me in the eyes and starts to lean in, but right before he could kiss me I turn my head so he kisses me cheek. I look at him wide eye and ask "Why did you do that?" He looks at the ground and mumbles "I really really like you...." "I'm sorry I don't like you like that." He walked away, but not before he punched me in the stomach. I drop all my things and curl up in a ball, because he hit a bruise.

I lay on the ground for about fifteen to thirty minutes. When I was about to get up I heard someone walking down the hall so I just stay still with my eyes closed. I opened my eyes when I felt someone pick me up. I see Connor. "What happened?" he asked. "Cole... he tried to kiss me but I turned my head so he kissed my cheek." "Well, we're going home." "We?" "Yes, because I want to be there to make sure you're ok." "Who's house?" I said. "Mine" "ok"
