Forbidden

Things like that just don't happen

AUTHORS NOTE

Hello my lovely readers--yes I am still alive and breathing. Sorry for the long break, but I finished school and I just needed a break for a while. I also started working, but I've been working on this chapter nonstop for the past three days. I made it extra long--10,564 words to be exact. A lot of stuff happens in this chapter, so I hope it makes up for the break! So please enjoy this crazy chapter of Forbidden...

But first, a quick recap...

**As we entered the cafeteria I stopped waiting in the doorway. I told them to go ahead. I was waiting for someone.

My back was facing the hallway as I eyed the cafeteria.

"Can't stay away from me, now can ya Rose?" I felt a hand on my lower back. Ian.

I smiled.

"Are you sure it's me, who can't stay away from you?" I said without looking back.

"Oh I already know that," he said quietly. I felt his fingertips graze the exposed skin below my tank top. I sucked in a breath and glanced at the ground. He removed his hand, when he felt my skin. He hadn't meant too do that.

"Lunch?" he asked suddenly stepping in front of me.

I nodded my head with a smile. "Let's do it," I said.

When we were all seated at the table, nobody gave Ian strange glances. But they still didn't attempt at conversation.

We all chatted about the party tonight. Each minute, made my excitement grow.

I picked up my tray and stood up heading towards the trash with a smile on my face.

"You're smiley today."

I knew that voice, without even having to turn around.

"Nice to see you too, Jennifer," I said turning to her.

"What happened, did you forget to put a shirt on this morning?" she said.

"Actually no, did you?" I said crossing my arms over my chest.

She wore jean shorts today, which only went about 3 inches down her thighs. She wore a sleeveless floral tube top, which didn't even go past her belly button.

She laughed and smiled. "You're so adorable."

"So I hope to see you at the party tonight," she said. "It should be a lot of fun!" she said.

"Yeah, maybe I'll see you there. If you have time out of your busy schedule tonight, maybe you can save me a dance," I said with a smirk.

She scoffed. "I'll be sure to grab you," she said.

"Great," I said.

She wiggled her fingers at me, before she turned walking to her lunch table.

I rolled my eyes. I glanced at her table and was surprised to see that Carter wasn't there. I scanned the cafeteria, and he was nowhere to be seen.

Hm.

I headed back to the lunch table and sat down.

I saw a girl with heavy black glasses stare at me from across the cafeteria. Ariane.

I waved at her, and she blushed but waved back, before looking down.

"So Emma, I have the perfect dress for you to wear to the party tonight," Shelby said. I raised my eyebrows at her in worry.

"Don't worry, it won't make you look like sex on legs... I mean not that much."

Oh boy. This was going to be an eventful night.**
