Blue’s POV

     As I stepped in the main lobby, my eyes darted across around, searching for a hint of Ross. A few minutes later, a hand touched my shoulder, causing me to turn around and meet the oh-so-familiar eyes. I smiled at Ross and to the guy who I couldn’t recognize.

     “Hi Blue,” Ross spoke as he gave me one of his cute smiles.

     “Hello,” I greeted back, standing on my tip toes to kiss him. We kissed, creating a smacking sound as the guy who has red hair disguised a cough awkwardly.

     “Anyway, Blue this is Edward. Edward this is Blue,”

     I pushed my hand to him, giving a genuine smile. He took it and we shook hands for a moment before pulling back. “Just please call me Ed. I find it weird whenever someone calls me Edward,”

     “Sure thing Ed,” I winked at him playfully as his pink tinted cheeks heated up. I chuckled softly, waving my hand dismissively. “Come on, I have to go to my locker before I go to my first class,” I told them as we walked to freshman hallway.

     I opened my locker and exchanged a few books then locking it. I gave them a thumbs up then kissed Ross’ cheek. I went to hug his waist, my head, resting in his chest as I listened to his heartbeat while he ruffled my hair affectionately.

     If we could just stay like this forever, I wouldn’t mind standing here in the hallway as we hug without any interruptions. A minute later, we pulled back as he kissed my forehead, ruffling my brown hair.

     The warning bell rang and everyone started going on their respective classes. I watched Ross and Ed made their way to their class as I stood there with a smile on my lips that I couldn’t take off of. It has been a while since we had a moment like that and I’d like to have a moment like that again.

     So far, my day is really pleasant and good. I’ll never let anyone ruin my day today because things that happened so far are good. Smiling to myself, I walked to my first class with a knowing smile on my face.

    The first four classes passed by joyfully and all I did was daydream about Ross. Surprisingly, my stepfather didn’t make a fool of me while I was in his class, daydreaming.

     When lunch time came, I met Ed and Ross at Ross and I’s usual table. I smiled before making my way to them, sitting right beside Ross. He kissed me in the forehead, ruffling my hair affectionately then got up to buy Slushie.

    “So Ed… How’s your day so far?” I cheerily asked.

     “It’s okay, I guess. There weren’t any bullies here so I think I’m going to enjoy studying here without dealing with them. I moved here because of people back in Ireland, making fun of me.” He plastered a smile after sighing.

     I nodded in understanding. “I’m sure you’ll be just fine here. Teachers here don’t tolerate bullying,” I told him as Ross went back and sat with me. His phone vibrated in his pocket as he pulled it out and texted away.

     “Who was that?” I asked as soon as his phone was tucked securely in his pocket.

     I looked at him expectantly while he scratched the back of his neck nervously. He plastered a smile that caused me to be worried. “That was my Aunt. He asked me if I could pick up my little cousin after school,”

     I nodded. “Ed and I are just going to walk together, I guess,”

     The bell rang, signaling that lunch period was finally over. I went to my next class and I waited for the time as it agonizingly slowed down until school was finally over. I went into the main lobby as I waited for Ed and Ross to come. After a few minutes of waiting, I finally spotted them, heading towards where I stood.

     Ross gave me a chaste kiss in the lips, ruffling my hair as he smiled cheerfully.

     “I’m really sorry I can’t drop you off to your houses. My cousin’s school is located on the other way,” Ross apologized at us. I waved my hand dismissively at him.

     “It’s okay. Ed and I are gonna be safe,” I assured him. I tip toed and went to kiss him. The kiss lasted for about a few seconds before we pulled back. “Bye,” I spoke to Ross as he went to the parking lot and pulling out the driveway.

     I sighed to myself. “Come on,”

     We walked in comfortable silence, my headphones tucked to the either side of my ears. I glanced at Ed; he seemed tense and deeply thinking about something.

     “Ed, what’s wrong?”

     His eyes landed on me, filled with worry. “Ross is your boyfriend right?” I nodded. “Is he also your best friend or something?”

     “No. My best friend lives in Tennessee,” I told him. “Why?” He kept silent, causing me to frown. I didn’t tear my gaze off of him as I walked. He looked at me and huffed out a breath.

     “It’s nothing. Let’s drop this,” He stated.

     “Okay…” I said.

     Ed is kind of shady and I sort of don’t like it. Why is he intrigued about Ross? Why did he ask if Ross was my best friend?  Does he know something about Ross that I don’t know? But how? He’s just new here in our town, isn’t he? 

     Glancing one more time at him, I shuffled through my iPod and playing a random song as we walked on our way to our houses.
