We decided we didn't want to take his car to school so instead we walked. We walked hand in hand and enjoyed being alive, and with the person we love the most. We finally reached school and had to go to our separate homerooms. We hugged, and I gave him a brief kiss before slowly starting down the hallway. I got about 3 steps away from where we had said bye and I felt a light slap on my butt. I whirled around glaring with mock anger. "You better get a move on if you don't wanna be late to homeroom" he said before heading to his homeroom. God I loved him.
Math class dragged on forever which was nothing new. Finally after a torturous math class it was time for science! Science was on of my fav classes cause 1. I was naturally good at it, and 2. Bret was my lab partner! But today, even science was boring! We did simple bookwork that Bret and I had done within 5 mins and our teacher Mr. Brown, dismissed us to go out side and work in the school gardens. I loved it outside at the gardens, it was so peaceful. After we finished weeding we went and laid in the grass looking at eachother off in our own world.
Finally we where forced to tear our eyes off of eachother and go to our next class. I had Language Arts, and he had math. In Language Arts we just wrote stories. I loved the days we just sat around writing. It came so easily to me. The second the bell rang I jumped out of my seat and sprinted to the cafeteria. I HAD to beat Bret there. He was at the end of the hallway and when he turned around and saw me running in his direction he held his arms out in the motion that I was supposed to jump Into him arms. When I jumped into his embrace he hugged me tight and swung me in a circle. Once he put me down we walked into the cafeteria hand in hand. I scanned the cafeteria and saw that Marissa was sitting with our old group. At our  table sat the usual, Mark, Sam, Brian, Marcus, and now, me and Bret. Once me and Bret sat down with our lunch he said "looks like we tied.. What does that mean??" I didn't hear him.... I was zoned out. While he and the guys started catching up on guy stuff i looked over at Marissa and realized she had switched to the other side of the table and now I was able to see her face. She was obviously not paying attention to the other girls. We glanced at eachother and suddenly she broke into tears. I looked at her crying, tears streaming down her face and she stared right back at me. Both pairs of eyes pleading for the others comfort, support, and forgiveness, but it wasn't coming. Not after what had been said.... Not after what had been done. Then I started crying. The second Bret heard he snapped outta his guy talk and went into comfort mode. He tried to put his arm around me but I pushed his arm away and jumped up from the table. Me and Marissa both ran into each other's waiting arms right there in the middle of the cafeteria. We hugged eachother tightly, both sobbing apologies. As soon as we where done, we linked arms and walked over to or regular table and sat down like we owned the place because let's face it, the guys would be animals if we didn't keep them reined in, they needed and loved us (in their own ways) and they knew it. The second we sat down Marcus jumped up and declared that we deserved Frapachinos and he went off to get us our beloved drink.
