The truth could break glass

chapter 2

  We walked up the school steps hand in hand, I pass a few kids I know and smile at them. We walk towards her locker so she could grab her book for class.

   Just as I was going to say something, the bell rang. I grabbed her waist and kissed her forehead. She moved her head upwards and pressed her lips to mine. I slightly pull back and whisper a reminder of how I love her in her ear. She hugs me one last time and walks towards her class. I wait until she's inside before I jog to my locker.

         I shut the door to my locker and see Matt standing on the other side. He has a big smile on his face.

                 "Hey loser" I say.

                 "Hi." even his voice was high from excitement.

                 "Do you remember that girl Stacy I told you about?"

                 "The one you described as the hot blonde?"

                 "Yeah, her."

                 "Then yea i remember."

                 "Today I asked her out. And she said yes!"

                 "Lucky you."

          At that point we were standing outside our Italian class and the teacher, Ms. Briggs had her back towards the class. We snuck in and sat in the back. I look over at Natalie and see she's staring at me.

          I smile that one smile and soon enough she's crossing her legs and looking away with a slight blush. I watch as Ms. Briggs walks around her desk and stares at the back of wall for a moment and nods her head. I don't know what she was nodding too bit seemed like she was really into it. I chuckle under my breath and duck my head.

          She quietly says that we all have to go into our groups and work on the assignment she placed on the board. My group usually has jus three people in it. Natalie, Matt, and I usually sit around and talk and then when there's about ten minutes left we all speed write and do the assignment.

             "Why are you morons late this time?" Nat says.

             "Listening to Matt's accomplishment of the week. And was with Christina this morning when I should have been working on my speech for veterans day." I said

             "You say it like I make one accomplishment that i could be proud of." Matt said with a face.

         And a sudden movement caught my eye outside the class. I asked if I could go to the bathroom. And when she said yes I grabbed the pass and quickly walked out.

       Christina came around the corner with her hair up in a ponytail. I stared at her curious as to why she was trying to get my attention and drag me out of class.

                  "Hi butthead!" she said.

                  "Hey to you too."

      She got on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss to the corner of my mouth since she cant fully reach my mouth.

                  "Whats up?" I asked

      I grabbed her waist and pushed her back softly. I kept my hands on her waist and slowly pressed my lips to hers but kept my distance back. She had a tendency to press her body completely to mine.

                  " Cant I see my boyfriend during the day?" she responded.

                 "Baby, I see you next period and lunch. Whats wrong with you?"

        She was acting strange and I don't know why. I was trying to help her but she seemed to be out of it.

                "Nothing. I just wanted to see if u wanted to hang out after school since Nancy wont be home until 6."

               "Um sure. You know your always welcome at my house. But-"

         She jumped up and kissed me quickly then ran away. I stared at her confused and conflicted. I wanted to go find her and help her. But if she ran away that must mean she doesn't want me at the moment.

         I turn around still very confused and start walking back to Ms Briggs class. Fine, I said to myself I'll just find out whats wrong with her later. She wont be able to keep it from me for long.
