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

that horrid noise we all hate so much.

I rolled on my side and pressed the snooze button.

five minutes later, the piercing voice started again. I groaned and turned my phone off.

my brother came in my room and laid down next to me in my bed. "how you feeling today? we ate a bunch and fell asleep late last night. you still wanna wanna go?"

"yes, Alex. I'm going to school, and so are you"

"are you sure? you don't want to throw up or fall asleep in class, do you?"

"trust me, that not even close to why I done want to go"

"then why don't you wanna go?"

"it's complicated"

"come on, Lizzy. I'm only a year younger than you. I go to the same school. just tell me. I can help. if it's a guy problem, I can .. beat them up! yeah!"

"Alex, both of the guys are on the football team, baseball, wrestling, soccer, basketball.. I don't want you to get hurt. even thought, I know both of them would never lay a finger on you"

I think

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

I don't remember falling asleep. I woke up in my room, rolling over and checking the clock I'm out of  bed before I can even blink. 7:30. I don't have any time to do my makeup.

I rush over to my closet and throw on a random shirt and jeans. it's a loose white tanktop with 'The Beatles' on it and cute ripped jeans. I slip on socks and put my red converse on.

I put my hair in a ponytail and grab my book bag and my keys. rushing out the door I realize it's cold, raining.

I rush back inside and grab my tan leather jacket, running back out the door.

I hold my jacket over my head and run down the street. I hear a car drive down the street behind me and I pray that they don't splash water on me.

to my surprise they stop and roll the window down. "get in" he said.

"sorry, I don't get in cars with strangers" I say and continue on my way. he drives ahead and stops again. this time getting out of the car. "stranger?" Hunter says, smirking.

"oh, sorry" my cheeks flush in embarrassment.

what? me. embarrassed? what the hell is this? I'm never embarrassed!

he laughs, obviously because of my embarrassment of being embarrassed.

"come on" he walks over to me and puts his hand on my lower back and leads me to the car. my skin is covered with goosebumps from his touch. 

he walked me over to the passenger side and opened the door for me. I slid in the beautiful black camaro.

he jogged around to the other side, sliding in the from seat and driving off. I shivered and his hand immediately went to the heater nob. he turned it all the way up and I thanked him while smiling to myself.

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

he pulled up to the school and parked. I put my hand on the handle to open it, but he stopped me.

I turned to face him.

hunter's POV

"wait" I said. she let go of the handle and gave me her full attention. once her emerald eyes looked in mine, I couldn't find the words.

I fought the urge to kiss her. I wanted nothing more than for her lips to be on mine. that night at Emily's house was the best kiss I had ever experienced. she's amazing. beautiful. everything I want. everything I need.

before I know what I'm doing I lean in to kiss her. she doesn't move. as if she's thinking about what she should do and what she wants to do.

our faces are really close. I can almost feel her eyelashes, open and close, on my skin. so gentle, so soft.

she doesn't have mascara on. or any make up.

it's good. I like it. she looks better. her natural beauty shines.

this time, she leaned in. so close. just a little further..

I lean in more, but it's too late. the school bell rings and here eyes widen. she clasps her jacket and opens the door. when she steps into the rain she uses her jacket as a shield over her head, and begins running to the school entrance.

I smile at her, then realize that rain is pouring down on me. I lock my car and run after her.

I always thought that I was the best runner.. until now. as fast as I run, I can't seem to catch up to her. she reaches the door and turns around to look for me. I hope.

I run faster and when I reach her she turns and rushes down the hallway. good thing we have the same class.

just before she reaches the door I grab her hand and pull her to me. she's startled. I catch her gasp with my mouth. I let go of her hand to wrap my arms around her and pull her closer.

her hand moves to my chest and pushed weakly. she knows again shouldn't be doing this, but she wants to. she truly does.

I pull her closer and she gasps from ths tightness and moans from the kiss.

DIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGG

she pushes harder this time and breaks the kiss. she tries turning around but I pull her back. "come on! we have to go!" she says.

I pull her into another kiss, short but amazing.

she looked up at me "hunter, I-"

"I know. never again. I'm lucky I didn't get slapped. blah, blah. I'm sorry"

"what? I was gonna say.. I feel the same way"

"you do?"

"yeah, but-"

I cut her off by kissing her again. she pushed away, forcefully.

"but I can't. I have to figure things out. I need time. there's too many things happening at once. I'm sorry" she says and walks into the room.

I walk in right behind her. if I can't have her, officially, I'm damn sure gonna make it look like she's mine. No matter what she says, I want her and I will get her.
