Fillie- a love story

Well, we almost did something.

Millie's pov

Like I hoped for, the week went by quick. It was already Friday, and over the past week, I've been talking to Romeo a lot. I think he likes me, but I don't know about my feelings for him. I've been thinking a lot lately, about a lot of things.

"Millie??" Finn said, trying to get my attention. I look over to him and I notice the bell rang. We walked out of spanish to lunch and sat down with the group. I'm so happy it's Friday, I just want to sleep forever, I'm so tired. I've gotten closer with Finn since he's joined the group, which is good I guess. After a few minutes of lunch, I look behind me and Romeo is behind me. For a junior, he has a lot of muscle, and he's nice, but I heard he can lose control sometimes. I don't know.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second in the hallway??" He said nicely. I nodded and took my bag with me because it was already around my shoulders. I walk into the hallway and we go by the lockers.

"So, I've been thinking lately, and we've become friends. Right?" He asked, looking me in my eyes.

"Yeah, you can say that." I smile, nodding my head.

"Well, I like you. I like you like you, and I'm hoping that we can be more than friends, if you would want to be my girlfriend?" He asked, hopeful.

I also heard he was one of the biggest players in the school. He's cute, I just don't want to get involved with that.

"Um, I'm sorry Romeo, but I don't like you like that, I like you as a friend." I said, and I look down to his hands and they turn into fists.

"Why?? Did someone say something about me?" He asked, getting mad.

"Well, you are one of the biggest players in the school, and I just don't like you that way." Before I can react to what he did, I felt a huge pain by my right eye. I stumbled onto the lockers, and he ran away, and my vision was getting blurry in my right eye. I was trying to keep my balance by pressing my hands against the lockers, but I couldn't. I was about to fall before someone caught me. Finn caught me. He stood me up properly, my back against the lockers, and he looked at me with a worried expression on his face. Now I knew what Romeo did. He punched me right in the face. It hurts. It hurts like hell. I start to cry, and I bury my head in Finns chest, and he hugs me. He gets out of the hug and we get into his car and he drives to his house, and we get inside and nobody's home. I sit at the kitchen table and he gets an ice pack for me. He sits in the chair next to me and checks my eye. He cups his hand around my right side of my face and traces his thumb lightly over the part where I got punched. He drops his hand and gives me the ice pack. I put my elbow down on the table and put the ice pack up to my eye.

I lay down on Finns bed with my back against the bed, and he lays on it with his stomach on the bed.

"So what happened?? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." He said, sounding worried.

"Well, Romeo took me out in the hallway and he told me that he liked me and he asked me out, and I said no because he's a known player in the school and I don't like him that way, and I guess he just got mad and punched me. It really hurt and it still hurts." I said, trying to hold back from crying.

"I'm gonna kill him on Monday. You of all people didn't deserve that." He said, getting angry.

"Please don't, I don't want you to get in trouble, can you just leave it be?? Please??" I ask, putting the ice pack on his desk next to his bed.

"Fine, if you don't want me to I won't, but if he tries anything, I will." He said. I didn't reply, all I could remember is thinking about how tired I was.
