"So, are you in?" he asked, his tone gentle, but the patience in his voice was slipping.
She took a moment to mull it over, and finally met his piercing blue eyes.
"Yes," she replied, with a shaky breath, and he let out a contented sigh.
"But unde...

IT WAS an unspoken agreement, really.
No words needed to be said, and it was simply because he helped me fall asleep. He didn't need to ask why I came over, and I was grateful for it.
But let me tell you, I could never get tired of the smell of his cologne, a softly infused mixture of spice and musk, and a hint of evergreen.
But, sadly, all thoughts of his insanely blissful scent flew out the window when I realized I w as holding a hand, a warm hand, and that I was currently walking through the halls with students staring at us like the engagement of Justin and Hailey was happening.
It wasn't.
If someone had told me a few weeks ago, that dating a hot, well-known guy at school would cause everyone to be dead silent, I would've died of laughter, directed at you. Except, here we were, walking down the hall, and the silence was so overbearing, an earring could fall, and you'd hear it.
The silence was making me more nervous than it would have if they were all whispering. Because if they weren't whispering, that meant every pair of eyes were trained in on us, and that made me feel highly uncomfortable.
Zac, feeling my anxiousness - or perhaps my sweaty hand - tightened his grip ever so slightly, and shot me a reassuring smile. I smiled back, but I couldn't help but glance at a few kids here and there.
My mind had gotten clogged with different variations of what could possibly go wrong with this newfound plan, and I hadn't felt or heard him whisper my name, or tug on my hand. But what I did feel, was the spin, and the twirl that came after.
He lifted my arm, and guided me along with his, taking me in on a small twirl before latching a strong arm on the small of my back, and dipping me low, before meeting his lips with my own.
Shocked, and a little flustered, I did what any girl would do; I kissed him back.
I was aware that this little stunt had been pulled to prove to them all, that we were, in fact, 'dating'. But I'd be lying, oh so bad, if I told you I didn't feel tingles sparking throughout my body.
It's just to prove we're a couple, I reminded myself.
He helped me gain weight on my own 2 legs again, and I kept walking, leaving him behind. I needed to clear my head, and think about what on earth had just happened, and why had I let him do it.
