It's Monday again. Why did Monett want me to get to second base so badly? I'm perfectly fine in 1st. But maybe Miles is getting bored of just kissing. I'm not ready for other things though. But he's so nice to me and he always gives me presents. Ughh. I hope he understands.

I go to school with jeans and a casual t shirt on. My hair is in a messy bun. Im not in the mood to try too hard.

When 6th period ends, its finally time for lunch. Im starving! I see Miles who looks ecstatic to see me. I wonder why. We've been together 2nd, 3rd and 5th period. I head to our table. When I sit down I hear Miles blabbering about how cookie dough should be supplied for us at all times during the school day.

"Hey babe" he says as he gives me a kiss and goes back to his rant

I look at my plate to see a sad pasta with sauce that is way to chunky to even be legal. This food is gross. I dig in my book bag to search for anything edible but all I find are some dirty erasers and my spilled foundation. I grunt out of frustration.

Miles steals one of his friends cookies and hands it to me. I take the cookie and say thanks.

"Everything ok?" He asks me

"Not really" I say honestly

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks

"Not here" I say

He nods and takes my hand.

The bell finally rings and school is over. I slowly walk to my locker admiring all of the peoples facial features. I do weird things when I'm bored. I go to my locker and take a few things out. I feel large warm hands cover my eyes.

"Miles?" I smile

"Nope" says a girls voice

Wtf. What girl has hands this big?

"Courtney?" I say

Then I feel a pair of lips on my cheek.

"If this isn't Miles you need to stop" I laugh

The hands leave my eyes and I turn around and see no one their. What? Then Miles pops up behind the locker.

"Was all of that really necessary?" I giggle

"Mhmm" he says kissing my lips

"Miles you need to go tutor jimmy! This is the second time you have bailed out on him!" I say

"Jimmy's parents think I have the flu" he says "I texted them at lunch so I could talk to you"

"It's not that important" I say

"Well were still talking about it. let's go." He says motioning towards our secret study spot

I smile and follow. He rushes to me, lifts me up and carries me bridal style. A smile forms on my face. I rest my head on his shoulder and hold on tight. His pace grows faster and I laugh in excitement. When we arrive to the room he gently sets me down. I smile and hug him.

"Your perfect" I whisper

"Your perfecter" he says looking into my eyes

I laugh

"I don't think that's a word" I say

"Pretty sure it is" he says

He kisses my cheek and we sit on the floor.

"So what's bothering you baby?" He asks

"Ummm well... I don't know it's stupid" I say

"Tell me" he says calmly

"Well... I just.... I feel like I'm not good enough for you. I feel like you deserve better" I say looking down at my hands so he doesn't notice the tears in my eyes

"What? Are you crazy?" His voice cracks "Not only are you my girlfriend but your my best friend. their isn't one thing that I would trade about you. You are perfect. Everything you do is perfect. I don't know if you have noticed, but I'm head over heels about you"

A tear falls on my shirt. I don't know if I'm crying because I'm sad or because what he just said was beautiful.

"Sorry" I say

"It's just that... in the future, things will get more serious, and I don't know if in ready for that" I say

"Hey" he says wiping a tear away "Who says we have to go fast? I'm nervous too. Don't worry" he takes me in his arms

I cry into his shirt leaving two mascara marks on his maroon shirt.

"I'm sorry." I say "I don't know why in so hormonal today" I laugh

"Don't worry muffin, that's why I'm here" he says holding me in his arms

What did I ever do to deserve him?
