Trust Me

Drop Off Lines

On Monday morning, I walked by Jax's locker with my head held high. It was his first day back from suspension, and I had been ignoring Lucas and Noah for a while.

Needless to say, I was expecting some drama.

"Wassup Flower?" Noah, asked, laying his arm across my shoulders and walking beside me. It was actually quite comfortable...

"Flower?"I repeated, raising a brow. He nodded in reply.

"Jasmine is a flower, so that's my nickname for you now!"

"Wow, you really thought deep into this."  I commented sarcastically.

"Oh yes, it's a long and complicated process involving Google," Noah explained wisely. I cracked a smile.

Jackson might be bipolar and temperamental, and Lucas might be annoyingly polite and annoyingly truthful, but Noah would always make me smile. He's definitely the best of three.

Of course, I couldn't tell him that; his head would swell to the point where he wouldn't be able to walk through the door!

Noah leaned against my neighboring locker, watching as I got my books.

Suddenly, he asked me if I liked pick up lines.

I nodded enthusiastically. "I absolutely love... shooting them down."

His excited smile melted into a frown.

"Well, Captain Killjoy, it is now my mission to come up with a pick up line that will make you smile!" he announced. I groaned and banged my head on my locker repeatedly. He was gonna badger me with that shit all day.

I started walking to the library. I had finally convinced my homeroom teacher to let me go to the library every morning so that I wouldn't have to hide in a closet until he finally decided to come to class.

"Um, where do you think your going Honey?" Noah inquired. Great, another sickly sweet name.

"Honey?"I asked. "What happened to 'Flower'?"

He groaned. "Bees create HONEY from the nectar that is found in FLOWERS. Jeez, get with the program, girl!"

Yes, of course. Because that is so obvious.

He followed me into the library. "Seriously? You couldn't have chosen some place more fun? Like.. a janitors closet?"

I scowled. "Hey, I didn't ask you to come with me. You can go drag some slut into a closet, but I wanna read some books."

I sat down and began to read. He sighed, and slumped in his seat.

I was in the middle of the fourth chapter when he sat up and leaned towards me.

"Did it hurt?" he asked.

I froze. Shit. Did he know? No, he couldn't possibly have see the pain etched on my face the other night, it was way to dar-

"...when you fell from heaven?" he finished. Thank gods, it was only a stupid pick up line.

"No," I replied. "But it sure burned when I crawled out of hell."

Noah stared at me with wide eyes.

"That's some pretty satanic shit."

Noah and I walked in to first period, laughing at my awesome drop off line (that's what we had dubbed my anti-pickup lines). Big mistake.

We only had a few seconds till the bell,  so the entire class was already in their seats. And walking into class with one of the most popular guys in school attracts a lot of attention.
