Something About You..

Part 15: Differences

-Danny's POV-

Who is that guy? Out of all the people in this school, she would be be friends with him. He doesn't act like just a friend either. Kissing her cheek and stuff, acts like her boyfriend. Can't even focus on the teacher and the lecture. Just keep getting stuck in my head.
Class is so fucking boring there's no point in paying attention. Everyone keeps staring at me then whispering, they've been passing notes too. One made it's way to me. It's unknown who it's from or why they even sent it my way but against better judgement I pressed the paper into my pocket. If I am gonna read it, I will read it on my own.

Problem was the longer the note sat dormant in my pocket, the more it bothered me. It was a secret, of course. Not even a good one, it was just another person starting rumors and drama but I really wanted to know. Someone nudged my arm whispering "Open it"

Letting out a light groan, I pull the note back out to read it, I study the folding to make sure not to rip it then read the note inside.

"Is she a better fuck than Sasha? Check yes or no." This enraged me. How stupid do you have to be. Alex has most likely never had sex and I am not trying to get in her pants... Well, I don't think so. Crumpling the paper up, I shove it in my right pant pocket and moved on. Focusing on the clock, there's still 7 minutes left of class and everyone keeps staring now. They want the answer. It's starting to piss me off so I shove everything into my bag, grab my headphones, plug them in, and drowned everyone out with A Day To Remember.

Why does everyone assume a girl and a guy can't be just friends? It's not like we have to always associate our genitals to the opposite sex. I mean, friends do and sometimes can.. have sex. Why am I thinking about this.. I don't want to have sex with her.. Do I? Can't think about it. Safer not to. She's attractive, beautiful even, but.. She seems taken, anyway or at least claimed. The first three periods were long and stressful but fourth comes along and I get a bit excited. The thought of spending time with her helps. Wish Nathan wasn't with her too. He shouldn't be around so much, it gives me this weird awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. I walk into the classroom earlier, not many kids inside. I sneak over to the windows. Sitting behind where Alex would sit. I put my head down, leaning my bag against my head. I don't want Nathan or Alex to see me right away. Seeing the anger in Nathan eyes will be entertaining to say the least and seeing the shock in Alex's eyes, doesn't it bring a smile on. How funny would that be. Nathan would then start bitching me out and Alex will scowl at me. Just annoying Nathan would be worth it. I wonder if she still has that lip gloss on? It looks really good on her.

Making a peep hole through my arm and bag, I watch the door. Making sure not be seen. After about 15 kids pop in, Nathan walks in first, holding on to Alex's hand, as she trails behind him. They look happy, she was giggling walking behind him, she naturally leans into him, staying close. She was comfortable around him. I want her to be that comfortable with me. I want her to lean into me like that. She stopped quickly to look at my usual seat and she actually pouted when she noticed I wasn't there. It made me a bit satisfied to know she's actually showing interest in me. She plops down in front of me, giving me a great view of her ass as she sits. Nathan starts talking and I move my bag in front of my face. Hiding from them.

"He's not in here. Thank God." Nathan bitterly spoke.

"Stop with the attitude Nathan. He's not as bad as you make him seem" She leans to the side, grabbing her stuff out of her bag then sliding it under the desk.

"How would you know. Big deal you spend all night texting him, he may have walked you to school but that doesn't make him Prince fucking Charming Alex." At that note, I propped my head up on my hand, resting against the desk. I poke Alex's back.

"I dunno. I think I can be pretty charming." I flash her a slight smile and wink. Nathans anger read clear as day as Alex flashed a smile. She seemed genuinely happy to see me. That inspires me.

"So, I walk you home after school?" She nodded then looked back at Nathan. Nathan looked like he was mulling words over in his head. What decisions he has now.

"No, I could drive you home, y'know. If you want?" He held onto her hand, keeping his eyes on hers. It's like he's pleading with her through glares. I can't see her face but she squeezes his then shakes her head no. "I am sorry hun. You know I don't like that. You live on the other side, you'd be going the exact opposite direction from your home. Think I will take Danny up on his offer. He walks by my house on his way home anyway. It just makes more sense." she shrugged as I snicker. I know it's not much but it feels like a win to me. I can't help but smile, reaching up I play with her hair. It startled her but she doesn't swat my hand away. She doesn't understand how incredible it felt to have someone stand up for me. Someone who is willingly taking a chance on me. Its been so long since someone even tried to consider me more than what someone else was saying. She's not like the others and for that, I am not gonna give up on her.

She spent most the class talking to me, Nathan wasn't trying to talk to me so he turned around. You can see the smoke fumigating out of his ears. He's facing the front of the room while Alex and I have been talking. So far her favorite color is blue, she likes Chinese food and she likes to listen to music in her spare time. She's adorable.

"How come you want to walk me home? You've been oddly nice lately. Why?"

"Wait... did you just say oddly?" I say, in disbelieve.

"Well, I don't mean anything by this but you don't normally talk to me, and you really don't interact with anyone else. The most people know about you is that you have devilish good looks and you're really strong" she stated nervously..

"Oh.. Don't really trust anyone. There's been a lot going on since moving here."

"Like what? If you don't mind me asking."

"Maybe another time?" I flash her a smile.

"I'll hold you to that." No doubt about that. Of course she will. She likes her questions, that's for sure.

Before I knew the class was over. She normally waits for everyone to leave so I packed my bag and kneeled in front of her.

"Hey.. See you in 7th right?"

She looks down at me smiling, "Of course".

Rubbing her knee, I lean in and kiss her cheek, something took over me. Felt like I had to. She has these adorable plump cheeks. Before she can look at me, I quickly walk away. For some reason, I knew that I went too far, at least in Nathan's eyes. As long as it wasn't too far with her. I don't regret it though. Honestly, it made me feel something flutter inside. Her face was warm and soft. Couldn't stop thinking about it. What have I gotten myself into...
