BLUE

33. 48 hours

Math class went by way too slowly, and when the bell finally rang for lunch, I felt like I had been sitting and staring at professor Sampson for 5 days straight. I hadn't had the chance to see Becca at all. I hated that I didn't have more classes with her.

I couldn't have gotten faster out of my house this morning, even though my parents tried their best to give me the "we love you and we only want what's best for you" speech again. This time I had gotten the short version, all though my dad gave me his best "I want you to do great things in your life son" speech also.

Thankfully they let me go quickly and I had arrived at the school half an hour early. That gave me some time to sit in my car and think about everything that had happened in just 48 hours with Becca and me.

It's crazy how much had happened. Not only did I find out that Becca actually cared for me too, but I had gotten kicked out by her dad, had Becca tell me why her dad was the way he was and about the tragic past she was carrying. And now, I could no longer be with Becca in public because of my parents. I hadn't slept at all. I could feel my brain actually turning into mush.

A part of me, the part that was used to obeying my parents, kept telling me that all of this was too complicated, and that I should just leave Becca alone and try to get over her. But another part of me, a part that I wasn't really used to communicating with, told me that all of this mess was somehow worth it, because of her. I had never met anyone like Becca. Someone who was so interesting and unique in a good way. She was the strongest and most amazing person I had ever known, and there was no way I was letting her go. I wanted to be with her, hold her, talk to her, kiss her and do everything with her all the time. I was completely lost in this girl. There was no question if I should let her go or not.

I went down the hall and around the corner to find Becca standing at her locker, tying her hair into a ponytail. She looked absolutely stunning, like she always did. I walked over to her and watched her struggle with getting her crazy amount of blue hair into a hair tie.

She was wearing ripped black jeans with black boots, and a black t-shirt, which had a band logo on it I couldn't recognize, but it had a lot of skulls on it. Suddenly she noticed me walking towards her and her black painted lips turned into a smile, and I could feel my insides melt to butter.

"Hey" she said as I leaned against the locker next to hers. "Hey" I smiled and watched as she finally got her hair under control and took a deep breath.

"So, how did it go last night? Were they pissed?" she asked and crossed her arms. "Yeah, they were. We held a meeting" I said and laughed lightly, realizing how ridiculous that sounded. "Oh god. What did they say?" Becca asked.

"They told me they would send me back to private school if I didn't end things with you" I answered and looked at her. For a second, I could see a hint of sadness in her eyes until she looked away.

"Wow, they do not play around" she said while looking down at the floor. I shook my head in agreement and sighed.

"So, what does that mean for us?" Becca asked and looked up at me again. She had a worried look on her face that somehow made me so happy. I could feel she didn't want this to end either.

"It means..." I said and slowly leaned in and planted a soft kiss on her lips. I could feel a smile forming on hers as they moved against mine. I pulled away to look at her. "Also, we're probably going to have to find another place to study" I said, and Becca laughed lightly.

"But, are you sure you're okay with lying to your parents like this?" she asked and put her hands on my chest. "They are the ones being unfair here. If being with you means I have to lie to them, then I'm okay" I said and tucked a strand of hair that had fallen out of her ponytail, behind her ear. She looked down and smiled. I planted a soft kiss on her head.

"Come on, let's go get lunch" she said. I looked into her eyes and slowly leaned forward to plant my lips on hers again. She instantly kissed back and I put my arms around her waist. She pulled back a fre seconds later and chuckled lightly. "Okay, let's go" she said and started walking.

"You know, you should be glad I wear liquid lipstick, otherwise you wouldn't be able to spontaneously kiss me like that without getting black lips" she teased. I put my arm around her shoulders while we walked down the hallway.

"Well I think you should wear liquid lipstick all the time then" I smirked.
