christmas break...

"i hope you all have a good break, and be safe! the final grades will be posted by tomorrow at 11 am. have a nice day". she announced before everyone rushed out the room, robyn grabbed klay's arm before he could leave, he looked down at her. "what!". he snapped making her flinch, his eyes softened. "n-never mind have a good holiday". robyn rushed out attempting to grab her book bag. klay snatched it from her hands, she looked up at him, her eyes glossy.

he grabbed her face in his hands, "d-do you hate me?". she asked her voice cracking. she only considered three people her friends, she was a quiet person by nature, girls were jealous of her looks. she never did drama, she only came for an education to be a therapist.

"hey don't cry, we need to talk". he softly said sighing. he reached over wiping her tears that managed to escape, robyn leaned into his hands. she wrapped her arms around him, her face buried in his chest as she weeped.

"come on i'm taking us to get ice cream". he said interlocking their fingers, robyn leaned into him as she softly hiccuped. she roughly wiped her red face. opening the door, stephen's face dropped, robyn gave a small smile his way, he could tell it didn't reach her eyes.

he nodded at klay, robyn pulled her hand out klay's hand, he sighed staying quiet as she walked over to stephen.

"have a good holiday robyn, and thank you for helping me with my work forehead". he teased pulling her into a hug, she giggled in his neck. "boy fuck you". she said as he pulled away chuckling. "but have a good holiday". she said avoiding his eyes. "hey what's wrong?". he asked lifting her chin with his finger. she shook her head, "nothing i'm gonna go". she said walking over to klay grabbing her book bag from him. stephen eyes turned into slits, robyn ignored how stephen burned a hole in her face.

she put her shades on her face, walking towards the double doors as others around them embraced each other.

"what the hell did you do to her?". stephen asked looking over at klay, "me? i didn't do anything. step back before i hurt you stephen". klay said calmly, stephen fist were bailed tightly at his side, the heat could be felt as he tried to calm his breathing.

"stay away from robyn, you aren't nothing but trouble! you're gonna do nothing but use her". klay said pointing his finger in stephen's face. "who said i was gonna use her? you aren't her boyfriend nor my father can't tell me who i can talk to nigga". stephen shouted, his face a bright red.

klay shook his head chuckling, "you heard me nigga, stop messing with her. she's not your type anyway". he said bumping shoulders with stephen, stephen grabbed klay's shoulder flinging him onto the wall. klay threw his book bag down pushing stephen onto the floor.

it didn't take long for both of them to be on the floor throwing punches at each other. "wardell!". ayesha shouted grabbing him off klay, stephen pulled his arm out her hand, he spit his blood on the floor. "we ain't cool unless we on the court". he said ignoring the professor shouting his name.

he reached his car, swinging the door open, before quickly putting his key in.

twenty minutes later...

robyn stood in the mirror, the towel holding her wet curly hair. she sighed sadly. she couldn't go to barbados this year for christmas, she turned up all i want for christmas, she looked at herself in the mirror. she was sad, the music slightly helping. several loud knocks made her freeze, she turned the music down before walking over to her door un locking it.

she gasped seeing stephen's bloody face, "what happen?". she asked as he invited himself inside slamming the door behind him, he ignored her walking to sit in her spinning chair. robyn made sure her towel was wrapped tightly around her body as she walked over to stand in front of him.

"i got in a fight". he said as she shook her head sadly, "b-but you're supposed to be on a plane to see your family". she said gently tilting his head back. she sucked her teeth,

"i'm gonna go get the first aid kit". she said as he kicked his shoes off, shaking his hands he looked at his purple reddish knuckles.

robyn returned turning on all the lights, she opened the kit, grabbing the alcohol she put some on a cotton swab.

she walked closer to him, "please don't move it's gonna hurt". she said as he looked up at her eyes, his arms wrapped around her around pulling her closer. she ignored her pounding heart, putting the swab on the cut above his eyebrows stephen lowly hissed. "sorry". she softly said continuing to doctor up his cuts.

she stood back after wrapping his hand, putting the bandages on his cuts. "thank you baby girl". he said pulling her into his lap. "y-your welcome". she said as he took the towel off her hair. he tossed it across the room.

her long curly hair went down her back, "you know klay told me something! and i've realized something". he softly said pulling her closer to his face. "what?". she said nervously.

"that i've always liked you, hell even love. you aren't like the rest of the girls. robyn you are special". he said pushing a piece of her hair behind her ear.

robyn eyes closed as she leaned forward molding her lips onto his soft ones. his arm wrapped around her pulling her closer their chest touching. "i like you too, i guess". she said pulling away.

"good because i want to ask you something". he said as she played with his ears. "what?". she softly asked,

"can i take you on a date?". he asked blushing, she smirked. instead of answering she continued to kiss him.

"yes". she said breathless,
