The last weeks of school for a senior were always the longest. the anticipation of leaving becoming a permanent feeling of anxiousness and excitement in the pit of your stomach. however that was beginning to fade with the absence of the people i adored the most.
then also the rumors were getting harder to ignore when their whispers were forming into very evident remarks. my legs guided me to my locker where ethan waits at. he scrolls through something on his phone and when he notices me coming toward him, he possesses a grin on lips. "morning." he says and i smile back at the boy.
i lean up and kiss him quickly. his lips being soft against mine and the sensation of it continuing to be an admirable action. when we pull apart i turn to put in the combination of my locker and my retrieve my books. "so how was your night? i meant to text you but we had family coming over because of graduation coming up and i didn't get a chance to-"
"aye, ethan! real nice that you and your brother share girls now!" it was another comment made from another individual with malicious intents to jab at my heart. it causes me to frown and look away from ethan. my breath a little shaky as ethan slams his fist against the locker next to mine.
"next time you say some shit like that again, justin, you'll regret it!" he shouts and i put a hand over his exposed arm to attempt to calm down the boy. however it doesn't seem to when his eyes still remain on a laughing justin. my palms then go to cup his face and bring his attention to me.
"hey," i say softly, his eyes read forms of anger and slight disappointment. "don't listen to them. you can't let them get you riled up. we have a week left and we're done. that's it." i state and his facial features shift to a new way of softness. "just relax, babe." i say and he nods. but there is still a frown plastered to his lips.
"he shouldn't be saying that shit. it's not right."
"and i absolutely agree but it's not worth it. at least not now. we're going to college, who gives a fuck about these people." i say and he lets a faint smile appear now, as do i. at the mention of our future with one another it seems to give him some contentment.
ethan was accepted into nyu as well as he applied for it months ago when our relationship was strictly friendly. yet now the boy brings me into another kiss. his lips against mine being sweet and to my liking which causes my simper to progress throughout the process of the kiss. when he pulls apart he pecks my forehead once more and i softly laugh from the feeling of it.
when he is done i am able to take my last book and then shut the locker. i take his hand and we stroll down the halls with the soft words of a conversation forming from our voices. ethan walks me to my class and when i reach the doorway i let my lips connect with his swiftly. "bye, i'll see you third period." he nods and was about to let go of my hand until he pulls me back.
"one more kiss." he says and i laugh when i do as he says. his body leans down to do what he wants. i walk away again yet i am pulled back.
"ethan! i have to get to class." i scold and he shakes his head.
"just one last one. i promise." i smile and let him when he kisses me once more but it's longer and much more intimate. i have to be the first to put it to a halt before it became too much.
"alright pretty boy, i'll see you later." i conclude and he smiles as i watch him begin to walk away. however when i turn, i am faced with the eyes of vivian on me. they are filled with pain which was mixed with pure sadness. it causes hurt to my chest and i look away immediately.
"i cannot wait to get out of here. i'm so done with everyone at this place." she then says as i move myself to the back for the classroom. her words were directed to me and i only frown at the thought of her despising me.
