Sasha walks into school feeling happy. This past weekend, she had done some exciting things that she was proud of. Seth slept at her house this morning, so she was extremely happy that they got to eat breakfast together. She spotted him with Roman and Dean. He was wearing a pair of black ripped jeans and a gray nike shirt paired with his signature gold chain.

It was ten minutes before the bell, so they sat in the cafeteria. Sasha couldn't bring herself to look away from him. She couldn't believe that she was the one who got to call him hers. He made her stomach churn with butterflies even when he didn't notice her. Eventually, he did. He winked at her and her cheeks immediately flushed red.

"You're a simp!" Dean pointed out making Roman nod in agreement. " I didn't notice it until now, but you totally are."

"I mean, look at her guys. She just looks so perfect in everything and knowing her personality matches, I'd do anything for her."

"Oh, you're whipped and it's only been like two months." Roman chuckled making Dean join in. Seth rolled his eyes and focused on eating his food when his phone went off.

"I bet it's her!"

Seth ignored his friends and checked his message and indeed it was her.

sasha: you look so good today, baby, i love you <3

He smiled brightly as he was thinking of a reply. Most girls thought that complimenting was something the boyfriend's should do, but he was glad he was dating someone who sees it as an equal role. Sasha made him feel good, not only about life, but about himself and that meant more to him then she could ever know.

seth: you look gorgeous, but you already knew that, princess, i am going to come over after school. i love you more, see you in first

He watched as she read his message. She smiled brightly and opened back her book. Soon she was joined by Naomi and Jimmy who she loved.

"Hey, Daniel! Look back over here before you get yourself caught!" Renee joked knowing Seth hated his middle name. The gang talked until it was time for first. "Bye, Seth!"

Seth waved as he made his way to class. He hadn't seen where Sasha went, so he assumed she already left.

Sasha was walking to her locker when her best friend appeared beside her opened locker. "So, I see you have no time for me anymore." Charlotte says sarcastically as she blows on her nails.

"It's not like that and you know it."

"Do I?"

"Yes, after I went shopping with Naomi and Bay, I realized I needed to clean my closet out. You've seen how big it is, it took up all my time."

"Okay, I believe you, I just miss you, shortstack!" She smiled before the two embraced in a hug. "Listen, let's skip!"

"What? I can't skip first."

"You did with Bayley."

"She had food poisoning, Char. This is not the same thing. Maybe we can skip last or something, but I have to go to first."

"Oh c'mon, stop being such a wuss. Live a little." She laughed as she tugged on Sasha's arm a little too hard.

"Ow!"

"Stop being a baby, let's go!"

"Actually, stop!"

Seth comes out as Sasha tries to yank her hand away from Charlotte's grip and lands on the floor, hard. She hit her head and felt a little dizzy. Charlotte crossed her arms and looked down at her friend.

"Maybe if you called me this weekend, you'd know why I wanted to skip."

"The phone works both ways, you can always call me if you wanna talk, you know that." Sasha says as she slowly sits up while rubbing the side of her head. She was glad the hall was empty or she would have probably been laughed at. Sasha was in a lot of pain, she even felt a little bump forming on the side of her head.

"Well, whatever." Charlotte huffs and exits the building. Seth watches as Sasha slouches down and hugs her knees before he hears a sniffle. He felt his heart break as he approached her. He kneeled down to her level before rubbing her back.

"Baby, are you alright?"

"No." She simply says as she turns to cry into his chest. He didn't know whether she was crying from the physically pain or the fact that her best friend just coldly left her alone. Either way, it hurt him to see her cry.

"C'mon, I know a place we can talk."

He helps her up and carries her bag with them to the bleachers of the football field. He climbed through them as she followed his lead. He pulled out a blanket from his bag and laid it down. "Do you always have a blanket?" She laughs as he sits down.

"Yes, now sit." He says as she follows his instructions. Seth opens his arms for her to lay in. "Listen, I know she's your best friend and all, but you don't deserve to be treated like that. I know you know that."

"Yeah." She sighed as she melted into his arms. He then really looked at her and what she was wearing. She wore an army green t-shirt with white air force ones. She even had her hair slicked back with her edges done. She only did her hair like this when she was in a really good mood. He picked up on it as of recently.

"Lemme see the bump." He says as she shakes her head, burying her head deeper into his chest. "Please?"

She reluctantly shows him the upcoming bump on her head. It was slightly bruised and rising. "Princess, you need ice."

"No, I'm fine, it can wait. I wanna be hear with you." She said as she sat and turned to sit on his lap. "You always make me feel better, even after situations that I used to find unbearable. I love you, Seth, with all my heart." Seth didn't know how to respond, so he didn't, he just brought her soft, mocha lips to his firm, pink ones in a passionate kiss that he had longed for since he saw her today.

a/n are you starting to dislike charlotte yet? hehe
