Ryan

I can't believe that I heard Lindsey tried to talk Mr. Cline into not telling her dad. Did she really? I don't think Linds would do that, but then again worse things have happened with her. I mean she's been raped by a guy she dated. Gosh, but that was forever ago. I stood by her side as she went to court to testify. They used a recording of her voice, instead of making her get up in front of him. He was sent to prison for 25 years , no bail. I need to talk to Linds. But, I think I'll give her a couple of days before I talk to her.
I get into my car and drive to school. I always arive before Linds. I don't wait on her this time, I just go to class. I sit in my normal seat.
I get nervous as Lindsey walks in, she's so beautiful. With her long brown hair, and her hazel eyes. I look away before she looks at me. My heart starts racing when she sits close to me. She slides her hand onto my lap and looks at me. I feel her eyes staring into me. I push her hand away, even though I love the feeling of it being there.
"What the heck Ryan?!" She asks. I don't look at her, because if I do I'll break down right here in front of everyone. "Whatever". She says as she gets up. I look at her as she changes seats.
I get my phone out and text Linds. -So much for trying...yeah?-
She looks at me and I smile and look away.
My phone vibrates. -I need to talk to you tho..-
Uh oh. I forgot her parents found out yesterday. -okay- I text back. This changes nothing and maybe I'm overreacting, but I've been hurt too many times. I wait for the bell to ring and when it does, I get up and wait at the door for Linds.
*Our eyes meet* I just want to hit her. And, I want to hate her. But, I can't do either.
Some one taps her on the shoulder as soon as she stops in front of me and she turns and starts talking to them, which infuriates me. I turn and walk away, towards my next class. As soon as I reach the door, I'm being pulled backwards and then I'm facing Linds, my back against the wall. Her face is close to mine. "Where do you get the idea that you can ignore me, and walk away anytime you want?" I lose my breath for a second. Just being this close, makes my head spin. I just want to kiss her, to feel her arms around me.
I push her away. "And where do you get the idea that you can just push me around like that? Lindsey, I was gonna wait for you, but you acted like I wasn't there. So I left. Happy?" I don't let her answer. I just walk into my class and sit in my seat. I know that we will continue this all day.
The day goes by and between classes I completely ignore Lindsey. I'm sitting at home, in my room. It's only 3am. I hear a knock at my window. My heart starts to race. It's Lindsey. I pull off my covers and walk over to my window. Sure enough, standing outside is Lindsey. I open it and she slides through the gap. When she shuts it, she pulls me to her.
