Pretty boy (Tanner Braungardt)

It never happened [4]

Kate thought about the kiss all night, she didn't know how to feel about it; what did this mean for her? What did it mean for him? Are they together? The confusion continued. She closed her eyes for what felt like 5 minutes, only to be rudely awoken by her alarm clock, barking at her over and over again. Kate stretched over her wall of pillows to reach for her phone. To be greeted by a text from tanner "good morning :)", smiling she notices the time "OH CRAP" she angrily shouts in a whispering tone to herself, yup she's late, again. Throwing on the Ariana Grande tour merch jumper she had gotten while seeing her live, pairing it with comfortable black joggers and a pair of bright orange nike shoes, flashy. she threw her hair up in a pony tail and quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth, "KATEEEE, COME ON' her mom yells from the front door, she ran out of her room, forgetting to take her backpack. "Thanks mom" she kisses her on the cheek as she jumps out the car running through the school doors hearing the bell ring. "wait..." Kate says as she realises she forgot her backpack with all her books inside, sighing, still out of breath from running.

"There you are" Ashley approaches Kate as they head to first period, "I can't believe I forgot my stuff" Kate says disappointed in herself, "dude, chill, we can share, you're in all my classes today anyway" Ashley reassures her, as they enter their English Lit class.

Tanners pov:

Sitting in math class was so draining, all I could think about was Kate and that kiss, I still hadn't told Quentin about it, my daydream of Kate and I got interrupted, by a beautiful blonde girl with braces, she handed me the assignment slowly, "pass it on" she said smiling, quickly turning around. I've never noticed her before, my mind focused on the assignment for the rest of the lesson. "Times up class, pass your papers to the front please" our math teacher directed, I signed my name, tapping the blonde girl on the shoulder. Turning around she held out her hand waiting for the paper, she looked at it "Tanner" she said, "yup thats me" I said playfully, she giggled "I'm Paris" she wittingly said, still giggling. I felt Quentin kick the back of my leg, "what?" I asked in a whispering voice, turning around, he smiled raising an eyebrow pointing his head discreetly at Paris, "shut up" I laughed as the bell went, I gathered my things and started to the door.

"HEY PARIS, WAIT" Quentin raised his voice, walking towards her, I stopped him by his arm "what are you doing?" I whispered curiously, "making friends" he said in a mocking tone. Quentin found out that Paris has the same study hall period, and offered her to sit with us, she reluctantly agreed. We walked to study hall meeting with Kate and Ashley, introducing them to our new friend.

Kate's pov:

Quentin and Tanner introduced us to a really nice girl called Paris, I couldn't help but feel like Tanner liked her, I mean why wouldn't he? She's beautiful. Ashley got on with her really well, and whatever Paris would say, would instantly make Tanner laugh. I felt Quentin elbow me, he leaned in "are you okay?' he asked, making sure I was the only one to hear, "yeah, why?" I lied. "You seem down" he pointed out, "I'm good" I forced a smile, and he smiled back. For the rest of the hour we catched up on homework, and talked, but mostly talked. I was hoping me and Tanner could talk about the kiss, and what the meant for us, but he had clearly forgotten about it.

(end of the school day)

I got home, to find a friend request from Paris on every social media imaginable, she was so nice, and thats exactly why I hated her, she was just so damn nice. I texted Tanner telling him to call me when he's free, almost instantly he replied with "I'm free now, you wanna come over and talk? I think I'd rather talk to you about this in person anyway". I changed in to some cute clothes and let my hair lose, not to impress him or anything...

I arrived at his house, he was waiting for me outside, "you look nice" he complimented me while putting down his camera, before I could reply he said "lets talk in my room". We hung out and ate some pizza that his mom had left him before she left for work. I sat down on his bed, knowing the conversation was about to change from what to watch on Netflix to what he really invited me over for. "We need to talk" he said while sitting down next to me, "let's talk then" I replied. "I know the kiss was very unexpected and I know you're probably confused for what that means for us..." he said as I interrupted him "let's not talk" I said, crashing my lips in to his, I had no idea why I did that, just seeing how he reacted to meeting Paris made me want to do it more and more, he rapped one of his hands around my waist, while the other was resting on my leg, we kept making out, I leaned him down on to his bed, not breaking the kiss, and climbed on over him, he stopped the kiss, his hands still on my waist and sat me up on to his lap "what's wrong" I asked "I think I like Paris" he blurted.

(A/N: You don't know how sorry I am for not updating, after my exams finished I completely forgot about this, I'm sorry, this isn't as good but I thought I would introduce Paris as she is a great part of Tanners life lol okay. I would also like to let you know I was at the Manchester bombing, after Ariana's concert, which was really scary, rip to the 22 angels that died, that was the first ever concert where I went by myself, every other concert I have always gone with someone else, and my phone had died, but my mom managed to find me amongst the crowds, I thought I'd let you know my experience, but I am okay now
