Him. (A Paul Zimmer Fan Fic.)

V. Erin

Paul Walked With Me Down The Hall. We Had Almost Gotten To The Office When He Started Talking.

"So, I Don't Really Feel Like Getting In Trouble. So Why Don't We Just Ditch The Principal's Office & Do Something. You Know, Outside Of School.?"

"Ummm... I Don't Know. If My Parents Found Out They-"

"They Won't Know. We'll Be Back Before Second Period. I Promise." He Pleaded Giving Me That Look, That Makes Me Melt.

"Oh, Okay. Just Don't Get Me In Trouble."

"Yes." He Said Taking My Hand & Basically Dragging Me Down The Hallway Towards The Front Doors.

When We Got Outside, He Lead Me To His Car. We Drove Around In Silence For A Bit.

"Imma Take You To My Favorite Place In The Whole City." He Finally Said.

"& Where Would That Be.?" I Asked, Curiously.

"Its A Surprise. You'll Love It, I Promise."

"You Promise A Lot." I Said Looking At Him.

"I Know. I Always Keep My Promises Though."

"Good." I Said.

After That The Silence Between Us Was Deafening.

"So Tell Me About Yourself." He Said After A While.

"What Do You Want To Know.?"

"Anything You Feel Like Telling Me." He Said & Winked At Me.

"Ha. Alright. Ummm. I'm Very Artistic. I Love To Paint, I Don't Know How Good I Am Though. I Like To Sing. I Don't Know If I'm Good At That Either. Ummm, My Mom Died When I Was 7. My Dads A Drug Addict, I'm The Only One Willing To Take Care Of Him. My Favorite Colors Purple. Ummm. Yea That's About It. I'm Quite Unextraordinary." I Explained. "Please Don't Tell Anyone About My Parents Though."

"I Won't. I Pinkie Promise."

"Thanks."

"Of Course. & I Don't Think You Unextraordinary. I Think Your You No Matter What Anyone Else Says. & I Like That." He Said Grabbing My Hand.

"I'm Glad You Think So..." I Said Looking Out The Window.

More Silence.

He Never Let Go Of My Hand. We Drove For About 10 More Minutes Before He Parked On Top Of A Cliff, Bridge, Thing. We Got Out Of The Car, I Walked Around The Front & He Again, Grabbed My Hand. We Sat On The Edge Of The Cliff. It Had A View Of The Entire Town. It Was The Most Beautiful Place I've Seen.

"I Can See Why Its Your Favorite Place." I Said In Amazement.

"Yea. You Should See It At Sunset. I Come Here To Think Mostly." He Said Looking Toward The Horizon.

"You Were Right You Know." I Said Staring At Him.

"Huh.?"

"I Love This."

"Oh. I Knew You Would."

"Yea. Its So Amazing. How Many Times Have You Brought Mackenzie Here.?" I Asked.

"Never." He Said. "No One Knows About This Place. I've Never Brought Anyone Here, Except You."

Of Course That Made Me Feel Special.

"Really.?"

"Yea..."

"So Why Are You With Her Again.?" I Repeated My Question From Yesterday.

"I'm Not. Not Anymore At Least." He Explained.

"Oh. Sorry." I Said Embarrassed.

"For What.? She's A Bitch. I Don't Even Know What I Saw In Her."

I Didn't Know What To Said, So I Looked At The View.

"Its Almost Second. We Better Get Going." He Said Standing Up. Only Then Did I Realize He Never Did Let Go Of My Hand.

The Whole Car Ride Back Was Silent. We Got To The School, The Bell Hadn't Rang Yet. But It Was About To. We Walked Up To The Building.

"Listen." He Said. "Sorry I Killed The Vibe Back There. I Had A Good Time. The Best Time I've Had In A While Actually."

"So Did I. It Was Amazing. It'll Have To Be Our Little Secret Place." I Said Flirtaciously.

"I'd Like That." He Said. He Got Close To Me. So Close I Could Smell Him. & He Smelled Amazing.

" I Like You Erin. A Lot." He Said Looking So Far Into My Eyes I Thought He Could See My Thoughts. My Heart Started Racing. I Couldn't Breathe. All I Could Say Was:

" I Like You Too Pauly."

He Smiled & Got Closer & Closer. I Hoped He Couldn't Here Or Feel My Heart.

Then Something Unexpected Happened: He Kissed Me.!

We Stood There & Kissed. It Was So Amazing I Didn't Even Here The Bell Ring Until All the Sudden He Was Jerked Away From Me. It Was Mackenzie Of Course. She Was Yelling At Him. Calling Him A Player & Me A Tramp & Bunch Of Other Bullshit.

"Oh Just Shut The Fuck Up Mackenzie. Can't You See He Doesn't Like You Anymore. You Just Can't Stand The Thought Of Someone Else Getting What You Want Can You. Well Guess What. Not This Time. Come On Paul." I Said & Grabbed His Arm. Thank God He Didn't Reject.

He Walked Me To Second.

"I'm Sorry About Her." He Apologized.

"Its Okay. I Don't Care. Your Right, She's A Bitch. Imma Go To Class Now."

"Okay. Bye." He Waved & Went To Walk Away.

"Wait." I Said & Grabbed His Hand. He Turned Around. I Kissed Him Again.

"Sorry Just Had To Do That Again."

He Kissed Me Again. "Its Okay. I Like It." He Said. & Walked Away.
