(Levinia)

I've got a good eye on the clock just in front of the classroom above the white board. Only less than a minute till the bell rings to end school. I begin to count down the seconds in my head. Right when I've hit 1 the ringing noise takes over and I'm up a lot calmly than I expected I would be. I make my way to my locker with nothing in my hand but my red textbook. I make my way to my locker. The tall purple locker that is ironically my favorite color. I place my textbook on the top shelf. Before I can reach for my backpack at the way bottom the buzzing of my phone I've left, also on the top shelf, distracts me. It vibrates a long while the first time, that's how I know it's a phone call. I reach up for my phone and when I have the name reads "Finn<3". My face brightens right away and I feel my cheeks turn red. I hit the answer button right away.

"Hey!" I say, excitedly.

"Hey!" He says, the same to my tone. I'm still looking into my locker. Standing there with the locker door open, keeping me from seeing anything on the right side. I start organizing my locker with one hand. Now that I mention hands, I also got my cast off a while back. I'm not back at cheer though. I'd prefer to be home with my mom. That and the doctor hasn't given me the okay to continue. I have the habit to always move around while I'm on the phone. I pace back and forth sometimes, start messing with things on my dresser, and roll around into weird positions on my bed. "What're you doing?"

"I'm still at school. I'm just about ready to pick up Peete from his school and walk home."

"You walk home?" He asks surprised.

"Yes. Because I'm only thirteen and I don't have a license." I say.

"Yeah, guess who does?" He asks me, sounding like a little kid. And I know where he's going with this. "I do!" He exclaims. He turned 16 two weeks ago and got his license the same day of his birthday and he's been excited since. I still find it a little weird that I'm 13 and he's 16. But I'll be 14 in two months. Either way, Finn must like me enough if he wants to be with a 14 year old. I laugh at him.

"Well, I really have to go pick up Peete so I'll text you." I say getting my backpack from my locker and swinging it over my shoulder. "Alright. Just one more thing. Close your locker." He says. Close your locker? I do so slowly, not sure why. But when I do I see a small bouquet of roses hanging on my locker door. I couldn't have missed it opening it. Theres still a good amount of people in the hallways so it could've been anyone, but I only believe it was Finn for some odd reason even though he's miles away. As I'm reaching for the card that lays in the center of the roses, someone leans up against the row of lockers beside me. I don't look until I hear the familiar voice.

"I hope you like them." I know who it is. I look and see it's him. Finn. I drop my backpack and throw my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me up some. When he does and fold my knees. He sets me down on the floor and gives me a long lasting kiss.

"Finn, what're you doing here ?!" I ask, surprised.

"I came for a visit. I can't visit my girlfriend and her family?" He asks.

"I thought you had school."

"I can afford to miss a day or two a month." I smile at him and lean back up for a kiss. He leans down and holds my hands in his while our lips meet. We've only got through 2 of them when there's the noise of someone clearing there throat from behind Finn. We look and of course its my friends. Darcy, Adyn and Ember. They look like they're just about ready to leave. I blush a bit. But my friends have never officially met Finn. They just gossip about his looks and how lucky I am. Actually, now that I'm looking away from Finn I notice my friends aren't the only ones looking our way.
