Sing to me

Stephanie's pov

For the next two periods I had English and then history , leaving home room next. I walk over to my locker to take off my glasses before grabbing my computer and heading to home room. As I walk into home room I look for Ruel and cant find him, damn me for taking off my glasses. I decide to just sit down on one of the desks and work on one my projects to pass the time. After about 10 minutes I notice that Ruel still isn't here and I look up to look for him again. I see him surrounded by a crowd of people asking him questions. Feeling a sudden fit of rage I pick up my lap top, get up and walk over to the group before grabbing Ruels hand and pulling him out of it.

I walk straight out the door and pull him outside into the garden before sitting down and sighing.

"That was so hot" he smiles

"What?" I say not understanding how this is even funny let alone hot.

"You just then. You were jealous" he teases

"I was not jealous." I say making myself clear.

"Okay, I guess you would be fine then if I went back" he says starting to stand up. I pull him back down to sit with me.

"Fine" I whine " maybe I was a little bit jealous" I say looking at the ground.
He pull me onto to his lap and hugs me.

"I'm sorry" he says into my neck

"What? Why?" I say concerned.

"If that we're you I would be jealous too" he says kissing my neck.

"Hey" I say picking his head up " you can't help that everyone loves you" I say smiling and pushing his hair out of his face.

"But I don't love everyone" he says, emotion filling his face "I just love you".

I lean in and kiss him, he kisses me back with everything in him. We are pulled out of our kiss by a loud noise.
"HEY! GET BACK TO CLASS!" A teacher yells.

Ruel and I look at each other before running hand in hand. We run past the oval, passed the gym, passed the hall and eventually out of the school. We keep running till we reach a park were we both collapse on the grass and burst into laughter.

"Our parents are going to kills us" I say still laughing.

"Worth it" he says with a grin.

We lay on the grass basking in the sun. It's funny how he feels like my missing piece. Everything about him makes me happy, he makes me feel whole. I can't help but worry what's going to happen when he becomes a pop star, I can't help but feel like I'll be left behind. I know he loves me, but I also know he loves music, I never want to have him choose between us.

"Ruel?"

"Yeah?" He says, eyebrows furrowed.

"What's going to happen when you go on tour?"

He looks down at me, head laying in his lap.
He looks like something is on his mind and I wish he would tell me but I don't want push him.

"I don't know" he says looking down at me, " I don't want to leave you"

"I don't want you to leave me either. You're my reason to wake up everyday"

"If I had the chance," he looks at me perplexed "would you come with me?"

"Yes" I say not having to think twice. He's my best friend , I know I have Emily but without him I would feel so lonely.

"Then I guess we have our answer" he smiles.

I sit up and take my hair out the braid it's in, letting my long locks fall down my back. I lay back down and let my hair fall onto ruels lap, he picks up a piece and wraps it around his finger.

"You have pretty hair" he says innocently.
I look up at him and bite my lip trying to stop myself from smiling.

"Don't do that" he says looking away from me

"What?" I smile with a slight laugh

"Bite your lip, it makes me want to kiss you"

"Then why don't yo-" before I can finish my sentence ruels lips crash down onto mine. I slowly lean up letting myself fall onto his lap, straddling his waist. I pull back and rest my forehead against his.

"I kinda, maybe, really like you" I say kissing his nose.

"I kinda, maybe, positively, really love you" he says quoting me.

"Common let's go home" he says lifting me up and putting me back down on my feet. His hand weaves with mine as we begin to walk home.

"Let's play 20 questions" I say out of the blue

"Why you already know everything about me"

"No I don't, come on it'll be fun" I say pouting

"Fine, only cause you're cute" he says fiddling with my fingers.

"Okay me first" I say "what's your favourite movie?"

"Happy feet"

I burst out laughing "really?!"

"Hey don't judge" he says acting offended.

"Okay your turn" I say putting my head under his arm so he could rest his arm around my shoulder.

"Okay, um what's your favourite colour?"

"Purple, what made you come and say hi to me that night we met at the cafe?" I ask out of pure curiosity.

"Well, I think the first thing I thought was that you were really pretty, but then I noticed how sad you looked and I remember wanting to just give you a big hug but at that point you would have thought I was some creep who was just trying to steal a bit of that banana bread you were eating. I was really nervous to talk to you but then I remembered I was starting a new school the next day so I would probably never see you again. So I sucked it up and said hi to you and then the next day when I saw you at school I thought holy shit, I'm so lucky your here and every one was crowding around me but when I saw you it was like nobody else was there" he rambles.

I look up at him and at that moment everything made sense.
"That's so sweet" I say a single tear falling from my eye.

"Hey don't cry" he says leaning down to wipe away my tears "It's the truth" he says leaning down to kiss me.

"Okay my turn" he says as he pulls back from our kiss.

"What was your first impression of me?" He asks.

"Well at first I was annoyed because I though you were some creepy old man and  you were ruining my little pity party at the cafe but then I looked up and I realised how handsome you are and then you got up and sang for me to cheer me up and I just knew that you were going to become my best friend, even if you didn't want to be my boyfriend I knew I needed you in my life." I say my eyes still watering.

" surprise I'm not a creepy old man!" He jokes
I can't help but laugh too.

"Best surprise ever" I smile and kiss him before saying my goodbyes and going into my house.
