Breaking The Rules For Isaac Lahey

Chapter 10

Thursday 27th February

I rock up to school at 8:00 because Allison asked me to, apparently we were all going to bombard Isaac with ‘birthday gifts and love’. I had laughed at that but Allison seemed dead serious so here I was at school, at 8:00 in the morning.

I had gotten a lift from Mom so when I got out the car and saw everyone hanging around Isaac I headed straight for them. Isaac spots me and smiles and then he sees the wrapped gift in my arms and groans, rolling his eyes.

“Hey there birthday boy!”, I say handing him the present, “Happy birthday from me”, I grin from ear to ear and then stand on my tippy toes kissing him on the cheek. We both blush and walk back to the rest of the group.

I see a small pile of presents and Allison insists he opens them all right now. He groans but smiles and gets to opening. Lydia and Aiden, although I think his name was only on the card because Lydia forced him to put it there, had gotten him the new iPod.

 Scott and Allison had combined presents too and had gotten him an expensive scarf and a pair of nice sunglasses.

Stiles had gotten him the lacrosse sticks and gloves obviously and Isaac thanked him, saying how he needed new stuff and could finally ditch Jacksons stuff. I saw Lydia flinch at the mention of Jackson and Aiden put an arm around her.

Isaac opened my stuff last, he saw the helmet and practically squealed,

“Is this the new-?”

“Yep.”, I say popping the ‘p’ with a grin on my face.

“Thank you so much, all of you. I love it all.”, Isaac says to us. We all help to carry the presents to his car, except the lacrosse stuff which he takes to his locker as the bell goes.

We all head off to our classes but Isaac stays with me saying he can be a few minutes late. He puts his arm around my waist and we walk to my locker.

“Thanks so much for my stuff.”, he says shyly.

“It’s no problem, I had a bit of a hand from Stiles.”, I say laughing.

“Stiles. Hmm,”, Isaac says smiling at me, ”Do you still think Stiles is attractive?” Isaac teases.

“Well he does have very nice hair,”, I say jokingly, “But there’s someone else I kinda have my eye on.”

“Oh is that right?”, Isaac says with an eyebrow cocked.

“Yep.”, I say as I kiss him on the cheek and turn to go to my class. He grabs my wrist and spins me around pulling me close to him.

“You keep doing that.”, he says trying not to smile.

“Doing what?”, I say pretending to be oblivious.

“This.” And then he puts his hand under my chin and pulls me closer to him as I stand on my tippy toes. He bends down and I can feel his breath on my face, I lean in and he places the lightest kiss on my lips before pulling away.

“Now I’m pretty sure I’ve never done that before.”, I say teasing still.

“No, but you will.”, he says cockily before walking to his class.

I stand there for a second shocked. Did that just happen? Did Isaac just kiss me? Maybe it’s just because it’s his birthday. Or maybe he likes me. No, how could he like me? Well he did just kiss me. Do I like him? N- Yes, yes I definitely like him. Oh god what have I gotten myself into.

Trying to focus in my classes for the rest of the day was hard, and my friends noticed too which made it even harder. They kept asking what was wrong, if I was okay. Little did they know that I was way more than okay, I was freaking fantastic.
