It's my last class of the day, Art. Today we are painting fruit, and I am so excited, I love to paint. A bit of my excitement vanishes though when Tiffany enters the class, taking the empty stool next to me.
"So, I noticed you with Brampton today; back off, he's mine" She says, picking which brush to use. "You know, he used to rub my back like that too, after we had sex. Shame though you'll never get any"
"Clearly you are an ex for a reason, and I am beginning to see why." I retaliate, beginning to paint the green apple that is on the plate ahead of me.
"You aren't good enough for him. Everyone knows that he is into skinny girls. He will get bored of you and toss you aside like the trash that you are" she sneered.
Nice to know that I was right about her. Trying not to let what she said bother me, I continue to paint my bowl of fruit.
*******
The bell rings, signaling the end of the school day. I walk out of class to see Brampton waiting for me.
"Hey babe" he calls, reaching his arms out to hug me. "How was your first day?"
"I'm glad it's over honestly" I tell him about what had happened with Tiffany while walking to the car.
"First off, you are not trash, and I would never hurt you. Second, I don't care about what a girl looks like, I only care about who they are as a person. Charlie, you are beautiful inside and out, and don't let 'miss bitch-face' tell you otherwise." Starting the car, he grabs my hand with the one not on the wheel and begins to drive.
I laugh, "That's a good nickname"
Reaching the house, Brampton parks the car and hands the keys to Scott. We stop in the kitchen for a snack and then go up to his room.
"She was wrong about the sex you know. You will get some if you want it" He says. Pulling me onto the bed.
"I know what she was saying isn't true and that she has no chance with you, but it still hurt" I confess.
"I can see why it would, you are a better person than her; you actually care for people besides yourself"
"Can I ask why you broke up?" I have been wondering since he told me about her at lunch.
"She wanted sex and I didn't, we never actually slept together. She would try to get me to do things I wasn't comfortable with, and used me for my money; So, I left her."
It's great that he can stand up for himself like that and is sure of what he wants.
It makes my feelings for him grow even more. I do have something I need to tell him though.
"I have a confession to make. The reason I am so reluctant to have sex with you, is because I am a virgin." Nervous to make eye contact, I look down at my hands intertwined with his.
He removes one hand from mine to lift my chin. "Charlie look at me please. Being a virgin does not make you worth any less to me. I care about you, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm proud of you for waiting"
I kiss him, it's a long passionate kiss, one that makes your toes curl, and leaves you wanting more.
"I love you" he whispers, eyes meeting mine.
"I love you too" I reply. I really do love him. I don't care if people think it is to soon, because the more time I spend with him, the more my feelings grow, and I know that I want him to be the one I lose my virginity to.
****
We spent the night in his room, it is now seven a.m. and I don't want to move from his arms. I know I must though, its only Tuesday so I have school.
"Baby wake up" I say, kissing Brampton all over his face until he finally opens his eyes.
"Good morning beautiful" he replies with his sexy sleepy voice.
We both stumble out of bed and I go to my room to get ready. I take a quick shower, get dressed, and go to the kitchen for breakfast. I wasn't even to the kitchen and I could smell the delicious grilled cheese. I follow the scent to see that Brampton had made one for myself and him. We eat and leave for school.

The morning flew by quickly. I'm now in my fourth period; which happens to be art. Today we are making decorations for the spring fling, a dance held every year. I steadily guide my scissors across the paper, being sure to cut out the heart perfectly. The theme this year is "Love is in the air" and I am beyond excited. I have a feeling that Brampton will ask me to go with him.
Humming my favorite song, "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran, I finish cutting the hearts that are in front of me and head to the front of the room to grab some more.
I take six more, and go back to my stool, hearing a snipping sound behind me.
"Oops" I hear Tiffany say
I turn to see a large pile of hair on the floor. Reaching my hand to the back of my head, I feel an uneven length by my shoulders, 6 inches shorter than usual.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I scream at her.
"My hand slipped" She smirks and continues walking.
I sweep up the hair, and tie up what is left on my head so it isn't as noticeable. Luckily this class would end in five minutes, so I can go to physics and see Brampton.
The bell rings and I walk to the science room speedily. Sitting at my table, I put my head down onto my arms. I hear a chair scrape against the floor and feel a tap on my shoulder.
"Hey, what's wrong babe?" Brampton questions
Explaining what happened, I showed him my uneven hair and then tie it back up.
"What a bitch! I am taking you to the salon, come on." He takes my hand and pulls me with him through the hallway and out into the parking lot, towards the car.
"What about class?" I ask
"They won't miss us. Besides, I have a perfect attendance so one day won't hurt"
Starting the car, Brampton puts it into drive and speeds out of the parking lot. After around ten minutes, we arrive at an expensive looking salon named "the powder room". We are met in the waiting area by a lady named Natalie. I show her my hair and she takes me straight to a chair.
"Would you like any color added to your hair after I fix the length?" She asks, as she spreads a black styling cape over me.
"I think I would like some brown highlights put through" I say, happy for a change.
***
An hour later my hair is complete with a choppy shoulder length style and chestnut brown highlights spread through. Natalie and I walk over to the payment table and I pull out my wallet.
"No dear, this has already been paid for by Mr. Charm" She smiles, gesturing over to a waiting Brampton.
"Thank you" I say to her, walking towards Brampton.
His mouth falls open in awe when he notices me standing near him "You are so beautiful" he says.
Standing up he kisses me and intertwines his fingers with mine, leading me out of the salon and to the car.
"Where do you want to go now?" He asks, entering the car.
"How about we go on that date, instead of waiting until Friday." I suggest, really wanting to spend more time with him.
"Sure, I'll take you to my favorite restaurant" He agrees and pulls onto the highway, heading for "Trois Mec"
