『 the sound of you and i 』 ➤ the first "sounds" book

✽ Ⅳ ｐ．４ ∞ 𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚒𝚖 ✽

Parker holds my hand on the way to school. We decide to walk. Chase is okay with this and drives Harley and Josh to school.

We get to school and my cheek is still red. Lovelle notices straight away.

"Did someone hit you?" She says quite loud as our squad walk into school. Harley sends me a concerned look and Josh frowns. The others are in their own conversations. Tiffany is clung onto her girlfriend's arm but she's spaced out. Oli and Oscar are worrying about their art exams as usual and Chase is too focused on kicking a stone around.

Parker gently squeezes my hand. I almost cry.

"No."

Parker sends me a look. She leans over to me and whispers in my ear. "You don't want to tell them?"

I shake my head. She nods. "It'll just worry them," I whisper back. "Especially Josh."

I turn back to Lovelle and she looks unconvinced. "What happened then?" She asks. She's always so persistent but it's just because she cares.

I laugh a bit as I come up with a story which is amusing to me. "I walked into my door."

I squeeze Parker's hand and she gets the hint, joining in with my laughter. "You should've seen her," she exclaims. "It was so funny."

"You stayed over at Grace's last night?" Tiffany perks in. Thank you, you wonderfully slow girl. Thank you for changing the subject. Lovelle looks intrigued. I have never loved Tiffany more.

Parker nods. "Yeah, we had a sleepover."

Harley looks away from us and Josh grins. "Did you guys... uh... do anything... exciting?"

I burst out into laughter. "Like what? Sex?"

Josh turns red and Lovelle and Tiffany laugh.

"Oh, yeah, it was great," Parker jokes and I playfully push her. She giggles. I love her.

Josh shakes his head. "I take my question back."

I grin. "Good!"

The bell rings and Parker and I make our way to computing, one of the many classes we have together.

We duck out of class about halfway through.

We can't help but giggle and tell ourselves to be quiet as we ran along the corridor. She pulls me into the laptop room, it's usually locked but today it's open and unsupervised and dark.

She shuts the door behind us and pushes me against a wall, pressing her lips against mine. I grin against her lips and my stomach flutters a little as her arms wrap around my lower waist. 

We kiss like that for a moment before she breaks our kiss, leaning down a little to wrap her arms around my thighs and she lifts me up, making me wrap my arms around her neck and wrap my legs around her waist. She presses me against the wall again and connects our lips once more.

The kissing is all I've ever wanted. It's all I dreamed it would be.

We makeout for a bit before managing to disconnect our lips. We sit on the windowsill, me in her arms.

She plays with my hair and I hum a little, more tuneful than usual.

"What do you want?"

I look up at her and she's looking out of the window. She looks so wistful and pretty and I realise how attracted to her I really am.

"What do you mean?"

She looks down at me and smiles softly, pressing a kiss to my head, continuing to play with my hair. "I mean like, what do you want from life? What do you want for the future?"

I look out of the window, following her previous gaze. She was just watching the trees. I find it captivating. "I don't know," I mumble and she nods.

"That's okay, we're technically still just kids."

"I wouldn't say we're kids, but we're definitely not adults."

She smiles and laughs softly. "I love the way you speak. I love the way you look at things."

I look back up at her and she hasn't taken her eyes off of me. I blush a little. "And I love the way you look at things, too."

We jump a little as the bell rings and we realise we've left our bags in the classroom.

We run to our class as everyone's leaving and we get a bunch of suspicious looks from people. Someone yells 'lesbians' as we go back into class, but for once, I really don't care.

I reluctantly walk to the lunchall at break, groaning a little as I sit down next to Parker. She laughs and wraps her arms around me, pressing a kiss to my head.

Chase looks at me and laughs too. "What's up with you?"

Harley looks over and I groan again. "I got detention."

"What?" Harley coughs. "Why?"

"I got one too," Parker says and Harley immediately frowns.

"Oh, my god! What happened?" Lovelle chirps in. She's living for our gay lives.

"We were making out in the laptop room and missed half of class," Parker says, her tone almost prideful. I slap her lightly and blush furiously. Harley frowns more and looks to Josh, starting a conversation with him.

Lovelle grins. "Ahh, Tiffany and I did that once. Fond memories."

"How long have you guys been dating?" Parker asks and I shut my eyes, just comfy with her arms around me.

"Mm, about a year and a half?" Tiffany chirps in, looking to Lovelle for confirmation.

"Almost two years, yeah."

"Awh, cute." Parker grins and I wonder how long she thinks we will last. I brush that thought away, I want to live in the now.

I get up as Parker keeps talking to Lovelle and Tiffany and wander over to the end of our table, sitting next to Oliver. He smiles a bit and gives me a hug. I'm so Cadwell deprived right now, I haven't talked to them in ages.

"Heyy," Oliver hums and Oscar looks up from his phone, jumping a little as he realises I'm there.

"Ah! Hi," Oscar squeaks and I grin a bit.

"Hey, guys. We haven't hung our for a while."

"Yeah," Oliver mumbles. "Sorry, that's on us. We're so busy with art. Miss Hamilton is pretty demanding of us."

"That's because you guys are talented."

"If you say so!"

I laugh and Oliver laughs and I think Oscar blushes a little. I feel his foot touch mine and he averts his gaze away, blinking a few times at Oliver. He gets the hint his twin is giving him ad he moves his legs a little. I think their feet are linked, it's pretty cute.

I lean my head on Oliver's shoulder and if I was anyone else, Oscar would freak, but he just smiles faintly. He usually gets jealous of his brother's friends. He likes to have him to himself, but he knows I'm super willing to share and that I love them both the same.

The bell rings and I take my head off of my friend's shoulder, letting him rush to get up. Oliver trips a bit and I notice the horrified look Oscar gives him. I think he tripped over his brother's foot and for some reason that isn't good.

The twins pick up their art supplies. Oliver hugs me and Oscar waves shyly and they walk away, Oliver's arm around Oscar's waist. There's something about them.

Parker comes over with my bag and I smile, thanking her as I sling it over my back. "Free period?" She asks and I nod.

We head out of school.
