HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!

Chp 41

"That's when she said
"I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save.""

KELLY'S POV

I pulled Matt to the nurse's office to get him to clean up his wounds.

"Where's Mrs. Nancy?" I wonder as we see the that there was no one here

"Probably on a break or something." Matt says

"It's alright, I'll clean up your wounds." I say and grab the first aid kit from the shelf

"Are you even allowed to do that?" he asks

"Well I volunteer with her, don't I?" I say with a smirk

"Of course, doc." he says and chuckles softly

I grab his hand in mine and wince at the deep cuts.

"Okay it's gonna hurt a little." I say as I was about to clean the blood away

"I'm sure I can take it." he says making me roll my eyes at him

I put the alcohol dipped cotton on his hand, making him flinch a little. I blew onto his wounds to give a cooling effect so it doesn't hurt him much.

"Why did you do it?" he asks

"What do you mean why? You're bleeding so obviously I'm gonna clean you up." I state

"No I meant why did you take blame for something you didn't even do? Hell you didn't even know why I beat that fucker." he explains his question

"Yes it is true that I did not know why you beat him up but what I did know was that if you had been suspended, the news would have gotten to your dad. And you told me the other day how you want to keep your promise to him." I say and smile softy at him

"But won't your parents be mad at you when they get a call from the principal? What about your perfect application for college?" he asks, worried

"Well my dad and Uncle Sam might be a little mad but then mum and Auntie Jen got my back. And I'm pretty sure Auntie Jen would literally call me up and tell me how proud she was of me that I beat a guy up. And I did slap and punch Jack so it wouldn't be a complete lie. And as far as my clear application is concerned, a few weeks of detention shouldn't really affect it." I answer him, truthfully

"Thank you, precious. You don't know how grateful I am to you right now. My dad would have literally killed me if he got to know that I got into a fight again." he says, taking my hand in his

"Why did you get into a fight with Jack, though?" I ask, my hand still in his

"You want me to be honest?" he asks and looks into my eyes

"200% honest." I answer and give his hand a little reassuring squeeze

"Well a guy had seen you fight off Jack and also how he hit you so he came into the class that I was in and I overheard him talking about this to his friends. So I forced him to tell me each and every detail. Then I left the class and found Jack lying on the floor. I think it was after a few minutes when you left with Ashley. I saw him and then anger got the best of me so I went and hit him. You know the rest." he says with a sigh and looks down to my hands and plays with my fingers

Did Matt just beat up someone because the other guy hurt me?

I don't know why but that mere thought sent tingles through my body.

"As much as I do not approve you beating the crap outta someone, I understand why you did it and I respect that. But Matt just think about it, if the principal had seen you beating him, you would've gotten into a shit load of trouble with your dad." I tell him and lift up his chin with my finger to make him look into my eyes

"Nah. I'm pretty sure you would've come up with some story to save me." he says with a goofy grin, making me shake my head at him but a smile finds it's way on my lips

"You know you're really kind and caring, right?" he says after a few moments

"So I've been told. But why do you say so?" I ask tilting my head a little

"You helped Ashley even after she said the nastiest stuff to you. If it were someone else, they would've just walked away. But you didn't." he says with an adoring expression

"Well I think we should put all the hate aside when someone needs your help. If I hadn't gone to help her, God only knows what that dipshit would've done. At that moment I didn't even think about what all Ashley's said to me. I would've done the same thing if it was someone else in her place." I answer, honestly

"You're different from everyone else that I know." he states, still playing with my fingers

"I hope the good kind." I joke

"The best kind." he says and chuckles, making me blush a little

"Let's get to our next class. We've already missed Physics." I state

"I bet you're glad we missed Physics, aren't you?" he teases

"Definitely." I say with a grin

"See ya later, precious." he says and does something that shocks me, in a good and happy way

He gets up from the bed and places a small feather like kiss on my cheeks and then leaves, probably for him next class.

My hand shoots up to the place where his lips touched my skin, the warmth of Matt's lips slowly fading away.

Did Matt just kiss me on my cheeks?

Kelly chill, it was just on the cheek. My conscience said.

A kiss nonetheless.

************************************

Did Matt kiss Kelly's cheek in a friendly way or in a romantic way?

Will things get awkward between the two of them after this?

What is going to happen during the detention that Matt and Kelly now have to share?
