After breaking up with Christopher, I thought I'd be a buzzkill and moping around, but I haven't. Actually, I don't think that I've felt this good in a while. Johnny has been so sweet and kind to me that I decided to give him a chance, but we're taking things slow. He's so different from Christopher and I really admire that. For starters, he puts his arm around me when we're together in public. He wants to do the same at school, but I don't allow him to do it. I don't want him to ruin his reputation even though he doesn't care. Like right now we were in the middle of the hallways and he wanted to hold my hand.

"Johnny, No! I don't want anyone to pick at you about us. "I whine. He sighs and lets go of my hand as I officially requested.

"You know I don't really mind being affectionate towards you in front of all these people. I'm not like him. I'm not ashamed to be how I am. "He says referencing to Christopher.

"I just care about people staring. "

"They can stare all they want. Who's gonna fight me?" He chuckles. I giggle as he gestures for my hand once more. I accept this time as we happily walk down the halls. To my surprise, not as many people noticed as I thought they would. We got a few nasty looks, but it wasn't as bad as Christopher made it seem.

"Not so bad, isn't it?" Johnny smiles. I nod as I begin to feel all jittery inside. I'm really falling hard and soon too.

"What class do you have next?" He asks.

"Math, why?"

"Because I'm walking you there. I'm not letting you go by yourself. "He says in a "duh" tone.

"You don't have to do that. Jennifer and I usually walk together. She's waiting for me at her locker, see?" I nod towards Jen's direction.

Johnny chuckles. "Jen looks a little preoccupied at the moment. "

I wasn't sure about what he was talking about, but I soon noticed Jen was flirting with Donny. I was surprised to see that she was talking with a boy. I was even more surprised when they kissed. Jen didn't even tell me about this! Rude.

"Fine. You can walk me this one time. "I huff. He shakes his head.

"Oh no, get used to this baby. I'll be walking you to every class everyday. "He says as we turn the corner and onto the hall where my class was. We stop by the door and I lean closer to him. I was giving him puppy dog eyes because I didn't want him to leave.

"Oh no, you're going to class. I'm not letting you skip again like you did yesterday. I'll see you later, Jahseh. "He whispers. I pout even more as he almost gives in.

"I don't want to go. It's not like I'm missing anything that I don't already know. "I groan. He gives me a look that reads 'Go. Now. ' I groan and lean upwards for a kiss. He declines that and places my math book in my hands.

"Woah, woah! What happened to taking things slow? We both agreed on no kisses yet, Jah. "

"So? It's just a quick little harmless kiss. "I mutter. He places a soft kiss on my forehead.

"When we decide to have our first kiss I want it to be special. We haven't even went on a first date yet for crying out loud. It's only been a week between us and you've just gotten out of a relationship. I'm taking this slow because I want to make sure that you want this just as much as I do. "
