Bonnie instantly brought her hand up to cover her mouth as Mrs Finch's dropped open. Bonnie glanced over at Theo for a brief moment, he sat at his desk, stifling back a laugh.
"Never in my 18 years of teaching have I come across such appalling behaviour." Mrs Finch growled, making Bonnie look back at her. She watched as her teacher shook her head at her, shock evident in her eyes.
"Get out." Mrs Finch ordered, her facial expressions filled with utter disgust, her arm outstretched and pointing to the door, "Go to the principal's office."
Bonnie silently grabbed her things and dashed out of the classroom, suddenly thinking about how much trouble she was in. She did as she was told, and headed to her aunties office. When she knocked on the door, she patiently waited for an answer, but nothing came.
So she knocked again, louder this time. After a minute, when she got no answer again, she turned around and began to walk down the empty corridor.
"Bonnie..." Theo called from behind her, making her turn around abruptly.
"How did you get out of detention?" Bonnie asked, surprised to see him. Theo shrugged and smiled.
"She said she couldn't bare the sight of me either," Theo told her, "I can't believe you snapped like that."
Bonnie sighed, "I really hurt her feelings didn't I..." She felt so guilty for upsetting her. Theo placed his hands on either side of Bonnie's arms, shaking her gently and taking a step closer to her.
"Hey," He said softly, making Bonnie look deep into his eyes. She relaxed when she saw the caring look in his eye, and his soft, reassuring smile. "She was the one who picked the fight. You just finished it."
"It's far from finished. Action's have consequences. " She mumbled. Theo's smile faded.
"I uh, need to tell you something." Theo said, as he let go of Bonnie's arms. Those words flicking back to what he said to Josh on Saturday night. He hated having to say that to her. Bonnie's saddened features turned to worry instantly.
"Oh no, don't say that." She groaned, "Is this where you tell me that you had an incline you were gay but you weren't 100% sure, so you kissed me and now you definitely know you are?"
Theo's eyes narrowed, his lips parting widely.
"What?" He asked, blinking at her like she was a mad woman. "That's the first thing that popped into your mind?"
Bonnie shrugged dramatically as she shook her head. "I'm sorry! It could have been what you wanted to say."
"Yeah, that and about a million other things." Theo let out a laugh, "You are weird."
"You haven't exactly denied it so," Bonnie shrugged playfully but Theo rolled his eyes.
"I'm not gay." He informed her, "I actually like-" he stopped himself, and bit his lip for a moment. "Can we go somewhere more private?"
Bonnie nodded slowly. "Now you really are making me nervous."
Theo took Bonnie's hand, and pulled her down the hall. He looked through the windows of classrooms, passing many until he stopped and opened the door to one.
"This one is always empty." He told her as he opened the door and pulled her in. He let go of her hand and she walked further into the classroom while he closed the door behind her. "Look,"
Bonnie turned to face him and smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry but I lied to you." Theo told her, he readjusted his back pack strap on his shoulder. "I should have told you yesterday, but we were having such a nice time, I didn't want to ruin it."
