he moved closer, I felt his heavy breath on me.

but at that exact moment my phone started ringing destroying the atmosphere.

"yeah?" I answer at the phone.
"it's Alissa, I'm with Nate and the others, but they can't find Ethan do you know where he is?" she says worried.
"no, I was sleeping" I lie.
"oh I'm sorry see you tomorrow at school" she says.

"I think I should go" Ethan says.
"yeah" I say looking at the ground.

the next day
I ignored Ethan all day, I can't talk to him after what almost happened yesterday.
I have to clear up my doubts.

"you're so quiet today" Alissa says.
"I think we should make other friends" I say not looking at her.
"what do you mean?" she asks.
"I mean, we can't always hang out with Ethan and the others, we should have more female friends" I state.

"trust me they aren't nice" she says.
"maybe 'cause you've never tried" I state.
"uhm, okay" Alissa mumbles.

"I have Spanish class now ugh" I state.
"good luck" Alissa says going away.

I enter the classroom that was still quite empty.
I sit next to Nate, cause I didn't want to sit next to Ethan.

Ethan's POV
when I enter the Spanish class I see Skylar talking and laughing with Nate, I thought she didn't like him.
I sat next to Kimberly which was already drooling over me.

during the class I tried to understand what Nate was saying to Skylar.
I see his hand slowing moving to Skylar's thigh.
"this is too much" I yell.

I feel my anger rise, when I stand up and punch Nate in the face.
"Dolan, Garner, Foster to the principal's office! now!" the teacher yells.

Skylar's POV
I didn't really understand what was going on, Nate blamed what happened on me and he got out of troubles, while Ethan and I are immediately sent to the detention room.. my mom will kill me, I don't even know why Ethan punched Nate we were just talking..

I sit in a desk and Ethan follows me sitting next to me, I try to ignore his sight.
He moves closer to me and whispers in my ear:
"I'm sorry" his voice was so husky and slow that I got goosebumps.

after a long day we finally got out of the detention room.
"let me make amends taking you home" Ethan says.
"okay, but.. home! not at Mc Donald's or anywhere else" I state.
"got it" he winks and smiles.

we get in the car and I tried to avoid looking at him.
"why do you keep ignoring me?" he asks.
"I'm not ignoring you" I say.
"then stop doing that" he states.

"what Ethan?" I ask annoyed looking straight into his eyes.
"pretend there's nothing between me and you" he states.
I feel my heart falling under his spell, but I remain calm.

"there's nothing between me and you Ethan" I say softly looking in front of me.
he suddenly parks the car and grabs my chin.
"then look me in the eyes and tell me you don't have feelings for me" he says.
"I-" I'm speechless and I feel my legs shake.

he moved closer
