Surprisingly nobody told the teachers about the fight with Theo, all anybody knows is we fell out and he moved dorms. I guess that's an easy story then saying I was mad at him, and mad with myself, so I took it all out on him.
"You messed him up pretty bad dude", Josh sniggered from the other side of the room.
I grinned at him, trying to pretend that I was happy with my win, but in fact I wasn't. I felt like I had just done something which I will regret.
"I was like behind you, just saying to them, like wait. Let him have his fun", he laughed loudly at what he had said.
Our conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Josh jumped up and ran to the door. He opened it dramaticly, showing our messy room to the person stood at the door.
"Why hello there sweet-thing", he winked at the person, who clearly was a girl.
She laughed and walked in. It was Hannah. Of course it was. I laid down on my bed and sighed.
"I'm gonna go find Sarah, you two have fun", with that Josh left.
We stood there silently waiting for the other to talk. I couldn't even look at her, I know our kiss meant nothing but it still hurts to look at her. The bag which she was holding, she dropped in front of me.
"Please, let me explain?" She said softly.
I simply nodded. She moved infront of me and opened the bag.
"The guy, Peter, he was bothering Beth..", she looked at me in the eyes.
"I was trying to get him to stop..But he said the only way he would stop was if he could do whatever with me. I had to agree Nick, Beth was too drunk to defend herself"
I looked up at her, straight into her eyes.
"Why didn't you come find me?", I asked.
"I was scared, I just did as he said.", she leaned forward and leaned against my shoulder.
I put my arm around her and she fell into my chest. Laying down I pulled her with me, holding her gently.
"I'm sorry", she began to cry again.
"You don't need to be", I said as I wipped away a tear from her check.
"I do..I kissed you Nick. And then ran off", she cried harder.
I help her tighter. Gently playing with her hair, like she did mine.
"Its okay, really"
"I was scared..Nick your differnt, and I had to kiss you and see if you still were after that, and you are. It scared me."
Smiling was the only thing I could do. I lifted her head from my chest and kissed her. But this kiss was differnt to the last. This kiss was my way of showing her not to be afraid. When we finally parted from the kiss she laid back down on my chest. I continued to play with her hair, until shortly I heard a soft snore. She was asleep. I kicked up the blankets and pulled them over her shoulders. I wasn't planning on waking her, clearly she was tired, and I was more then happy to let her sleep on me.

I woke up to feel Hannah's hair brush my face. She was reaching over me, clearly grabbing something, but I didnt open my eyes and move, it felt right laying with Hannah next to me. She had clearly reached for something with paper, I could hear it rustling. Pretending to be asleep was so easy for me, I would do it all the time when my dad tried to wake me up. Speaking of my dad;I just noticed, he's been missing for three weeks now and nobody's asked me about it. I guess it's a good thing, at least this way he won't know about the fight.
"Hey sleepy head", said Hannah, messing up my hair.
"Hey", I opened my eyes and saw her reading. "What ya reading here?", I sat up and looked over her shoulder.
It was my music, the songs I have wrote. I snatched them away as fast as possible. Hannah burst into giggles.
"What's so funny?", I asked, confused at why she was laughing
"Your so cute", she giggled again and kissed my cheek.
With that she climbed over me and stood up. We had been asleep for a while, it was a whole new day. I looked over, expecting Josh to be in his bed, he is never awake at this time, but he wasn't there.
"I suppose Josh found Sarah"
Hannah nodded and smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back, she was so beautiful, even with messed up hair from sleeping. My bed felt so warm, so I stayed in it, but Hannah went back to her dorm to get changed, there was no point of me getting changed, we would no doubt be coming back into my dorm. I lay back down and thought about last night. About holding her, then it hit me. I like her, well no, I think..I love her
