This time I woke up without a doubt. I took a hot shower and got ready for Tuesday. I texted Johnathan to see how he was doing.
Me: Hey how you doing?
Johnathan: Hey good. Not coming to school today though.
Me: Yeah that's good. Take some time off.
Johnathan: I'm quitting the volleyball team. I can't do this anymore.
Me: K. It's your choice.
Johnathan: Not gonna lie, I don't ever really wanna go back to Longdale. Whenever I think about the fight, I just get really scared and would be in some kind of panic attack. The whole thing affected me mentally and physically.
Me: I understand Johnathan. Did you tell your parents about this?
Johnathan: Yeah, they're tryna get Issac suspended and might move me to a private school.
Me: That's good. But we just have gotten closer.
I kinda didn't want Johnathan moving schools since he and I just have gotten closer. I got to know the better version of him and I didn't want him to go already.
Johnathan: I know, I'll see.
Me: I'll talk to you later, I'm gonna go to school now.
Johnathan: Bye

Mom drove me to school today because she had some errands to run right after. As I got out of the car, I saw Maeve waiting for me in front of the school. I took a deep breath.
"Hi, Sarah!" Maeve greeted Mom.
"Hey girl!" Mom yelled back.
They did small talk while I was waiting near the front of the school.
"How are you doing?" Maeve asked.
I couldn't say anything but just kiss her again. But this time it was just a quick peck.
"What was that?" she asked while laughing.
"Nothing just to make sure if this felt right for me."
"Did it?"
"Yes," I said smiling.
"I really really like you Maeve. And it's been a while since I did. I really want you to be my girlfriend. So will you?"
After I said that, I felt my heart skip 10 times faster. I was so scared that she would reject me.
"I'll think about it. Don't get your hopes too high or too low. It's just that I never expected any of this. I never knew you liked me. But after that kiss when we came back from the theater, I felt so many things I've never felt from you."
"I understand."
As we walked inside the school, I didn't know whether I was happy or sad. I did love Maeve but when she said that she'll think about it, I was scared she would say no. Maeve was definitely the dominant person. I'm dominant but I would always be submissive when I'm with Maeve.
We went inside the cafeteria to get some breakfast. As we walked inside the cafeteria, I saw Issac and other people in the team sitting with him. I suddenly gave Issac the death stare and he gave me a wink and a little smirk. It was the most disgusting thing ever.
"How's Johnathan doing?" asked Maeve all of a sudden.
"He's doing good," I responded.
"I heard you came in and pulled Johnathan away from Issac."
