Immortals ~ Fall Out Boy

   My eyes open swiftly, the weight behind them heavier than usual. I'd found myself falling asleep in classes again, one moment awake, the next lying face down on the desk with no explanation. As if my body had warned me, the teacher orders us to pack our things as the bell rings for lunch.

    "Hey gorgeous!" A familiar, sweet-sounding voice shouts from behind me as I walk through the school corridor, practically sprinting so I can get my daily dose of food before the cafeteria runs out.

   Ashton smiles as he runs down the corridor to catch me, pushing a small, tanned freshman out of his way as he reaches me. His brown hair was now a sexy mess, with small strands on top of his head sticking up daftly. With one quick motion he calms his crazy head of hair and flashes me his signature grin.

   "I've missed you.." He mumbles as he leans in for an uninvited kiss. Butterflies fly up and down my stomach as he places his hand on my lower back. Instinctively I flinch at his touch, surprised at how forward he was being in front of everyone. I was still getting used to it after all and Ashton wasn't exactly one for being affectionate in public. 

   "I saw you two hours ago..." I laugh, once again getting cut-off by a soft kiss from Ashton. This new attention caught me off-guard, but I couldn't help the goosebumps and smile that snuck across my face.

   "That's too long for me to wait." He grins, wrapping his arm around me as we continued to walk down the corridor for our weekly lunch. I couldn't help but giggle at his romantic actions, it wasn't like him - usually he was the 'cool jock' that loved the girl's attention. Yet all of a sudden he seemed settled around me. 

   "Cece!" I could hear Amy shriek from behind me. "Wait up!" She shouted as she shoved her tiny height through the crowd of sweaty high-schoolers. In record time she found herself nearing us, a giant smile plastered across her freckles.

    I notice Ashton rolling his eyes as I softly giggle to myself - he wasn't fond of Amy. I found this hilarious since she was one of my best friends, and best friends and boyfriends not getting along always created drama. I had too admit though, I lived for drama. Name a teenage girl that didn't?

   "Can I borrow her for a minute?" Amy smiles at me, showing off her large grin as her natural ginger hair curled around her face. Obviously, she was just looking to annoy Ash, something she swore she would do from the day we started dating.

She succeeded.

    Him, being the genius that he was - didn't notice. This was the 'Jock' part of him coming through. My boyfriend was such a damn stereotype. All that was needed was for him to secretly be sleeping with the cheerleaders. But lucky for me, I'd gotten myself an alpha male teen who knew I was his.

   "Just remember that when you borrow, it usually comes with the intention of giving back." He looks me directly in the eye. Unfortunately, I was the same height as him which meant no heels at parties or his manhood would be insulted. Ashton quickly leans over and me gives a small peck on the check before running after one of his friends.

   "I love you." He shouts and waves to me. As his words hit me, everything seems to freeze as his words echo, but it's not his voice I can hear. Thinking nothing of it, I blush a bright red before hiding my face behind my dark hair. I notice a short haired-blond making a weird face as she listens in to our conversation, girls like this only seemed to have one emotion.

   "I love you more." I shout back, knowing he wouldn't get to speak to me until after lunch. I had to admit, having someone get upset for not being able to speaking to me was cool. Yeah...I kinda loved it, especially the attention from a boy.
