Reader, the next day I felt I had to do my hair and makeup. I NEVER wear makeup but I curled my lashes. I put on my shorts and a tank top with my converse and rushed out the door heading to school. I looked forward to seeing Dominik, to arriving at the front of the school I saw him leaning against the brick wall in his long sleeve so cal shirt on with a shirt underneath. He looked at me like he had seen an angel. "shy one" he said with a smile looking at me with his gorgeous green eyes. "Hey,Dominik " I said sweetly ,he grasped my arm gently taking me to a place he enjoyed going to on his spare time. "It's a late day school doesn't start until 9:30" he informed me as he sat on the picnic table. "I want to know you more,Leslie" "What do you want to know " "What's your favorite and least favorite food ?" "I love sushi,I can't stand oatmeal " He pondered on my response "I love sushi too,favorite color(s)?" "Purple,mint,red,black" "Last one and then you get to ask me some questions,what's your goal for high school " "I've always dreamed of being prom queen " He smiled and shook his head while listening,"I won't ask you much because I prefer observing but if I have a question I won't hesitate to ask " "Dominik!" A red headed girl with piercings yelled running up to him hugging him,making him stumble slightly.'She's so pretty,I have no chance on being with him' I thought to myself feeling discouraged. Reader, that girl made me compete for him even though his eyes were only on me,but I didn't see it that way I felt like the girl pushed me away from the only person I began to fully trust. "Um I guess I'll go" "What why?" (He knew why,that's why he was annoyed with his friend) "I don't want to be late " "School doesn't start for another hour,Cmon " he pleaded as he hugged me from behind "Fine I'll stay" I said sitting back down at the table, opening my book in all attempts to ignore her throwing shade towards me he didn't say a word to her about it. Reader, I can only bottle up so much anger and hurt. You've now witnessed the first tier of pain. As it continued I bounced my leg and held my tongue,as soon felt I couldn't take it any longer I slammed my book shut causing Dominik to jump . "Where are you going " he asked as he saw me throwing my book in my bag "I just remembered I have to meet up with my teacher for drama class " I lied and said coldly "Okay ,let me go with you" he said cheery standing up to walk with me "I don't think you should leave your friend " I said even colder I walked away feeling my chest ache or was it my heart? I never felt this before it's hard to tell, all I knew is it hurt like hell ! Reader,that was when I realized I began to fall for him,when hot tears ran off my face. I walked at a faster pace the harder I cried. Finally I approached to the door of my drama class my eyes were puffy ,noses was running and my face was cherry red. "Leslie,what happened " "Nothing,just allergies " I lied again knowing the teacher wouldn't question it,I stuffed my headphones in my ears and blasted my music. Laying my head on my bag while covering my face with my arms. Silently finishing the crying. The bell rung. I've never dreaded a bell this much,knowing he'd see me and knowing he'll ask what's wrong, I avoided him the whole entire day. You read correctly. I avoided him,I shut myself off completely from his charm and that stupid cute smile of his. Finishing all my classes taking my notes even though my thoughts were still on him,stupid him! Why?! I caught myself doodling his name in my notebook. I quickly crumpled the paper with tears welling up in my eyes and threw it away,before I could walk away a snatched it right back out of the recycle bin straightening it out and holding it to my chest as if it were him. Classes have finished for the day, I am preparing to leave until I see a guy in a jersey walked up to me and introduced himself. "Hi,I'm Ryan" I stared at him and gave a soft smile,before I could speak an arm flung over my shoulder, "what's up,Ryan? Did you meet Leslie " Dominik said coldly toward him staring at him with eyes that could kill. "She's doll isn't she?" Dominik continued while holding my chin to face him and look into his eyes. For a moment I felt the jealousy fuming through his veins, I brushed him off and walked away from the two of them. I headed home at 3:06 pm ignoring my phone which was blowing up with text messages from Dominik,Reader,this is important because this is when I learned to never avoid or ignore him. Staring down at my phone,I wasn't paying attention to where I was going,I stepped out into the middle of the road to be pushed out the way. "Leslie! Be more careful you could have gotten hit" Dominik said picking me up and dusting me off I stood in shock and it all sunk in , my life, him,him saving me . I embarrassed myself, I cried in front of my crush. 'Great Job Leslie you fucking drama queen' I thought to myself wiping my face and walking the rest of the way home. My phone is cracked at the corner ,I finally opened his texts. Dominik's texts -We need to talk. -Are you seriously avoiding me? -what did I do? -I didn't see you at lunch where are you? -Leslie please talk to me what happened? -Ryan? Really? -I'm not going to continue to text your phone,Leslie,If you don't want to talk say so. Me: Domibear, Today I saw something you wouldn't ever be able to change or make up for,but what you can do is understand that I am unsure of you right now Dominik: wait why?! What did I do? Me: If you don't know Dominik then how can you help Dominik: don't do this to me please. Me: Time . Just time. Okay. Dominik: is it because of Ryan? Me: I don't even know Ryan ,Dominik! Jeez what's your deal! Dominik: okay. I fell asleep ignoring his last text not wanting to put up with his shit. Weeks later Weeks have went by, Dominik and I talk and text 24/7 . I wish he'd just ask me to be his girlfriend already I know he likes me as much I like him or at least that's what I had observed. "Leslie! Leslie! Leslie! " I turned from lunch table group to see Joey, though he maybe irritating he definitely knows how to find out information quick. "What? What is it? What's wrong?!" I said seeing Joey out of breath. "I saw. Dominik. With someone. And they were. Kissing " Joey informed me while saying after each breath. My heart dropped,I, without realizing crushed my whole cup of noodle in my hand "Leslie,don't even think about it he's doing this to piss you off and you know it" Derek exclaimed while cleaning up the hot soup poured all over my hand. My phone chimed. Dominik: hey,meet me over in quad 2 we need to talk. Me: Bite me. Dominik: please just meet up with me Me: fine. "Derek, you'll to come with me Dominik want to talk to me" "Okay " he agreed and got up with me. We approached Dominik and his new love,and I gave his love a death glare. "Leslie this J-" "Yeah I don't give a fuck" I interrupted, Derek sighs and looks at Dominik "You didn't have to piss her off, you're not the one who has to hear all the one " "Well she doesn't have to be a bitch either " Dominik's new love said I saw red at the that point, "what did you just say" I spat as I threw my backpack down attempting to storm towards Dominik's lover,Dominik's eyes widened as my temper shortened he sharply glared at his partner,Derek held me back as I breathed heavily wanting to kick his teeth in. This was my third tier,don't feel confused.This pained and angered me. "Leslie , breathe" "Don't tell me what to Dominik you're not my boyfriend " I said as I stormed off knowing that hit him hard. I knew I hurt him saying that but he hurt me telling me he wanted me but turning around and loving someone else. Excuse my selfishness but this is my first time being in love,I don't know how to act. The few weeks that they were together I saw a change in Dominik that I hated,it wasn't him! I fought. And fought . And fought . Until... Dominik calling... "Hello?" "Curse me out if you wish you were right, but right now I need you Leslie" "What happened? Dominik what's wrong " "Lets go the mall,I'll pick you up in 10 minutes " "Okay let me get dressed " As soon as the call ended a scrambled off my bed throwing on whatever I could find. He stood at my bedroom and sighed heavily, "Dominik !" I said startled and covering chest with the shirt I was going to wear. "Don't worry ,I wasn't looking,I have too much respect for you to look at you" he said gloomy "Domibear you'll be okay I promise " I assured him holding his face while standing shirtless "Put your shirt on and let's go" I giggled and threw my shirt on and ran out the door . At the mall he expressed his apologies to me upon how he neglected me , I finally got him to smile from ear to ear. After the mall he had me to In-n-Out Burger . Being cliche and cheesy I fed him french fries, we laughed harder than we ever had in a very long time. I laid down on his lap sleeping while we were in the backseat of the car. I was so comfortable and at peace with him , he played with my hair then very occasionally he'd kiss my head and hands. Reader, I fell in love . I don't know what to think of it,he's the first person to ever make me feel like this and that itself terrified me. I confronted that piece of work that broke his heart,it took Derek and his buddy to pin me to the wall and keep me from ripping 'em apart . I had gotten suspended for a day due to 'disorderly conduct'. I hope Dominik doesn't find out ,my God that'll be a earful,this day at home will give a chance to catch up on my homework I had missed on,so I guess that's good. Next Day walking the halls second story of the main building,looking to turn in my homework before it's late. "Leslie! Leslie Morgan!" I hear Dominik scream infuriated at me "What! What do you want? " "Why were you suspended Leslie?and don't you bullshit me" "I did what I had to do " "Like what Leslie? Why are your arms blue?! " "Dominik don't walk up to me like you don't know what I fucking did okay?! I protected my heart " "What the fuck are you talking about Leslie,I got my heart broken not yo-" "God dammit Dominik are you that blind?! I love you! I'm in love with and that terrifies me so go ahead walk away if you will but just know my feelings will never change for yo-" Dominik interrupted me with a kiss holding my waist with one hand and holding the side of my face with the other. I will never forget this moment. My first kiss given by Dominik. Damn.
