Instead of calling Nick I decided to wait until Monday to tell him what I thought of "us". I spent my Sunday inside reading Romeo and Juliet for my English class and catching up on my assignments. I turned my phone off to prevent me from being distracted and my day was going pretty smooth.

"Sweetie are you awake?" I heard my mom asked as she pushed my door open.

"Yeah" I lied, I didn't even realised I had fallen asleep.

"It's 11 pm, I was just checking on you....you should probably get some sleep."

Was she serious right now?

"Mom get over here, I haven't seen you since last week."

She walked over to me as I got up from my bed and she carried me into a comforting hug.

"Someone seem to have missed me" she chuckled. "Missed" would have been an understatement.

"Ok now sweetie, get some rest" she said as she placed a kiss on my forehead before leaving me alone.

As I walked through the crowded halls knives of nervousness stabbed me in the guts. Glimpsing Nick over by his locker only increased the pain in my stomach yet the butterflies refused to calm down.

"Nick!" I called out to him causing him to turn and face me. He gave that darn knee weakening smile and I knew my body was jelly.

"Hey Moya, you look amazing"

"Um thanks, you look amazing too..." that wasn't a lie, he did look amazing in his dark blue skinny jeans, red T-shirt and his matching red Jordans, his eye was no longer bruised.

"So have yo..." before he could finish I grabbed his neck and brought his lips down to mine. He was shocked at first but started to kiss me back before I could regret it. His soft sweet lips pleased mine so much. His tongue slid into my mouth and I happily returned mine to his. It was as if we were the only two persons who mattered, everyone else just melted away. By the time I pulled away a smirk took over his face and he whispered to me "everyone's staring at us, lets give them something else to talk about."

What, I didn't want them talking about me period and he wanted to give them more to talk about??

"Listen up, Moya's my girlfriend, I love her and would do nothing to hurt her, so whoever is trying to hurt her has to go through me first."

I felt the air caught in the back of my throat as he said that out loud to everyone.

He loves me?

I heard a couple of gasps from the crowd and trust me I was just as shocked as them. Trying to wrap my head around what was going on I felt Nick interlocking our fingers and my heart literally exploded. I looked at our hands and then back up at him.

"Let's get to class" I told him with the brightest smile plastered to my face.

The walk to class is a short one and for the first time in my life I wished it was longer. This wasn't the first time Nick walked me to class but something was just different, maybe it was the fact that he just announced his love for me. The class was already full when we stepped in and all eyes turned on us. Nick wanted to sit up front but he saw my face and knew I couldn't handle it so we resided to the back.

I saw Kacy's and Alexandra's confused faces as we walked passed them and I gave them the "I'll explain" look. There wasn't really anything to explain, Nick made me happy and I deserved that.
.....

Classes went by in the blink of an eye and soon it was time for lunch. Kacy, Alexandra and I took our regular lunch seats.

"Spill!" Alexandra literally shouted after we all were seated. I explained everything to them and watch as their faces changed from eager to excited. In the middle of my story I saw Jace storming up to us. As usual he took a seat without asking.

"Hey, Alex do you wanna grab dinner with me on Saturday?" He asked with a smirk on his face as I rolled my eyes. We haven't spoken since Saturday night and I didn't really mind. He was a moody bag of hormones who knew how to get on my nerves.

"Omg Alexandra you should definitely go, it'll be so much fun" I squealed but Jace knew I was being sarcastic.

She looked over at Kacy who nodded in approval but before I could hear her answer Nick grabbed me from behind and lifted me off my chair. I looked up at his glowing face and couldn't help but smile, he looked so happy and that made me happy. I looked over his shoulder and glimpsed Jace staring at us as Nick carried me away for someone who just asked Alexandra out he was really focused on me but I ignored it.

"Where are you taking me" I managed to asked Nick through my smile.

"You'll see"

.....

"Woah, it's gorgeous" I said with wide eyes as I took in the sight of a picnic. There was a red and white blanket laying on the football field with an enormous basket sitting in the middle. A red umbrella was standing over the picnic and it limited the sunlight under it. We sat down and I saw Nick taking out dish after dish, it was like a never ending refrigerator. I had a turkey sandwich, two slices of pumpkin pie, some wings and washed it down with a cup of Coco Cola.

Through out the picnic we talked and laughed so much that I forgot that we were even at school that was until the bell chimed to signal the end of lunch.
"Nick this was great I completely forgot how much fun we can have together." I said as I stood to my feet but he caught my arm and pulled me down on him. I landed on his lap and could feel his bulge through my jeans. It caused me to blush. I dropped my lips to his and gave him a small kiss. "See you in bio?" he asked, I could feel his breath on my lips. "There's no other class I would rather be." I said giving him a soft smile.

We said our goodbyes and left for our classes.

Last week I dreaded going to biology class, but now it is my most anticipated class. I was so excited for class I was unable to walk instead I found myself skipping through the classroom entrance. I took my seat beside Nick and as I was ready to say something my teacher interrupted me. She informed us about our project that we'll be making in pairs. It was a simple project just to make a model of any system in the body. I looked over at Nick and we were both thinking the same thing "Let's work together." Our fantasy was short lived as our teacher began to call the pairs she had already formed.

Nick got paired with Tiffany and I could feel my stomach twisting at the thought of them together. "It's gonna be ok" Nick whispered to me after noticing my face "and besides I'm gonna be sober while working with her" he chuckled in efforts to try and make me feel better. It kind of did, "he was drunk that night it wasn't his fault" I tried to tell myself and gave Nick a small smile.

"Martinique you'll be working with Wilds"

Huh? Come again. Of all the persons in the class of course I got stuck with him.

"Ok now if everyone could take a seat next to their partners." instructed Ms. Dickson.

I watched as Nick got up from beside me and took his seat next to Tiffany. I released a sigh as I turned to face the front of the class.
I didn't look over at Jace as he sat down beside me.

"I guess this is us mate" He said with a smirk. Maybe if I ignore him he'll go away.

"So class these are your permanent seats for the rest of the year." Ms. Dickson said.

You got to be fucking kidding me.
