Unforgivable

"He asked you out?" Sara squealed as she and Mira walked down the hallway. It was the first time in a while that the two girls had been alone together. Paige was busy talking to a teacher about making up a test, so she was unable to join them. The blonde and the curly brunette sat in chairs in the back of the library for their discussion.

"Yep, for a double date with Zeke and Ava," she replied with a smile. Sara smiled back and batted her lashes.

"That is so romantic! Does this make you a couple now?" she asked eagerly. Mira shrugged and fiddled with the bottom of her pink shirt.

"I'm not sure," she answered shyly.

Sara smiled in knowing and leaned closer with a smirk on her face. "Let me rephrase: do you want to be a couple?"

Mira bit her lip to hide her smile.

"Maybe."

Paige was walking down the hall when suddenly a hand shot out and grabbed her arm, yanking her into a classroom.

"Whoa, hey!" she yelled before a hand clapped over her mouth.

"SHH!" Seth hissed, shutting the door with his foot, looking at Paige, and taking his hand off her mouth.

"Seth, what the hell are you doing?" she demanded while shoving him away and fixing her rumpled shirt.

"I need your help with something," he said. Seth had not wanted to come to this girl for help with this situation, but he found he had no other choice.

"With what?" she asked in irritation. "Did you really have to grab me and shove me into a class room? I spent forty-five minutes on my hair this morning!"

Seth looked at Paige's hair and did not bother telling her that it looked exactly the same as every other day.

"I didn't want anyone to see," he explained with a weak smile. She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you need help with?" she asked.

He sighed. "I kinda asked Mira out tonight," he said, scratching at the back of his neck and counting down the seconds until…

"What?" Paige squealed, jumping up and down happily. He gripped her shoulders and held her down.

"Yes, I asked her out."

"That's so great! Seriously, I'm like so happy for you!" Paige could barely contain her excitement. She knew how Seth and Mira felt about each other, and she was glad they were acting on those feelings. "But what do you need help with?"

"I've… never really been on a date before, Or at least not one that didn't end in sex. So I was wondering- you being a romantic know-it-all- if you could give me some advice on how to be romantic."

Seth immediately regretted his decision when Paige let out another loud, extremely girlish, squeal.

"Are you serious you want me to help you woo Mira?" she asked with wide hazel eyes and a big smile. He nodded.

The next thing Seth knew, he was sitting in a desk and Paige was standing in front of the white board with a marker in her hand.

"Okay, the first thing you should know is that Mira is very physical; she loves hugs and cuddling. Write this down."

Seth rolled his eyes. "Is that neces-"

"WRITE IT DOWN." Seth pulled a notebook out of his backpack and wrote down "Cuddle."
