I Would Never Do That To You

7: Pass

Lizzies POV -

Hope and I strolled through the forest side by side. The sun was beginning to peak out from behind the clouds and everything was peaceful. Birds were chirping and I never wanted the moment to end. I caught myself admiring Hope from time to time, but she never noticed. She was focused on the road ahead.

Suddenly I tripped over a rock and brought Hope tumbling down with me. I hit my head on the forest floor sending a jolt of pain throughout my body. I clenched my eyes shut and only opened them when I realized there was a weight on top of me. I remembered that Hope had fallen too, at no fault of her own. Her shimmering eyes met mine, and I could feel her hot breath on my face. We sat there in that position for a moment before Hope bit her lip.

Out of nowhere she started tickling me. She caught me off guard and she knew exactly how ticklish I was. I was laughing so hard that my chest hurt and I could barely breath.

"Hope stopp!" I whined through laughs.

Tears were streaming down my face and at one point I stoped laughing. Hope got worried and thought something had happened.

"Hey Lizzie, are you okay?" She whispered softly.

I didn't reply. She shook my shoulders a bit and then screamed as I flipped her over and started tickling her instead. After I stopped tickling her I rolled off her and we just lied there side by side.

"You scared me, Jerk!" Hope huffed jabbing me in the ribs.

"You were on top of me I had to do something!" I replied jokingly

We both burst into laughter. I got up and helped Hope up too. She was looking at me funny and a puzzled expression formed on my face.

"What? Is there something in my teeth?" I said whilst trying to feel around my mouth with my tounge to make sure that wasn't the case.

"No but you have a twig in your hair." She pulled out and then we were off.

As we walked to the school her fingers grazed mine. I tensed up at her touch, but instantly craved it after that. I brushed the whole thing off as an accident, but was pleasantly surprised when it happened again. This time her fingers tried to slip into mine, so I let them. My cheeks reddened as she gave my hand a little squeeze. Luckily she didn't notice.

When we were closer to the school her grip on my hand loosened and when we got in she let go completely. I was slightly taken aback by this, but didn't say anything. She was probably ashamed to be seen holding hands with me.

Some students came up to us and told us that Penelope was back and I refrained from rolling my eyes. One of them pointed out that I had a leaf in my hair and I gave him a glare. He quickly turned his gaze to anything but me fearing that i would turn him into stone or something.

"So do you guys wanna hang with us later?" One of the girls asked cheerfully

"Sure!" Hope replied pretty quickly

My blood was starting to boil and the googly eyes that girl was giving Hope weren't helping. I rolled my eyes, but as they looked at me expectantly I frowned. Then I remembered the conversation they were having and deadpanned:

"Pass."
