I tried to stop. But I couldn't. There he was, and here I was. Sitting, breathing, consuming each other's space. I was weak when it came to vulnerability. One look in his eyes, and I was a goner. They held something I couldn't explain to you. They were sad, yet angry. His bright, multi-colored eyes were now drowning in the grey that overtook his persona. And worst of all, it was all unexplainably my fault. I caused this. His pain, his misery. " River? Please, I need you to understand," my voice pleaded for him to look my way. He didn't. I took both my hands and softly moved his head up to meet mine. " I'm so fucking sorry. I know I should've been there for you. I left you and I promised you I wouldn't. You deserve the world and I planned on giving you that; I still do." He slowly diverted his eyes to meet mine, but tears soon clouded his vision. Yet, as he sat in front of my very eyes as a complete mess, he was still breathtakingly beautiful. " Corinna, stop apologizing it's okay I'm okay," he weakly croaked once again breaking eye contact. He knew I could easily read him, which was why he refused to look at me. But he didn't have to, I already knew he was lying. It was silent for a few minutes before he spoke again," I'- I'm not hurting because you left me. I'm hurting because you care enough to come back. And that scares me so fucking much because there's nothing I hate more in this world than falling in love with someone who won't ever feel the same way. Y- you'll never love me, and I know that." What had I done? I wanted to fix him, mend his heart, heal his scars. Yet, here I was, making matters only that much worse.

"What do you want?" I snap, slamming my locker shut. His casual smirk, messy dark hair, tan skin, strong arms, eerie storm-grey eyes... the list could go on of things I notice- that I shouldn't notice- about him. "Oh, I want a lot of things." He inspects a speck of dirt on his arm. "I'm sure you've heard the news?" His eyes flicker back up to meet mine. Does he know? No. He can't. So I roll my eyes. He can't know that I know, that I would do anything to be the first one he tells. "You'll have to be more specific." I mutter, trying to look casual as I inspect my nails. "Well, it involves a certain title of the swim team," He offers. I shrug. "So you got captain. That's cool. And what do I have to do with that?" He narrows his eyes, trying to read my expression. Unfortunately for him, I have mastered the art of hiding my emotions. "This is what I wanted to talk to you about. During English," He fiddles with his sweater sleeve. "I recall you trying to talk to me," I frown. "Well, I..." He swallows, seeming... nervous? "I'm not doing too great... subject wise. And if I don't pick up my ass soon, I might be forced to quit." He rubbed the back of his neck, making his shirtsleeve slide up his arm to reveal a strong bicep. Not that I notice. I narrow my eyes. "And what do I get back in return?" I cross my arms. I'm going to be late for the bus if we don't hurry. He studies my face. "Name your price." He mirrored my position. I sigh. Money... but I don't need it. Popularity... but I don't want it. I meet his gaze steadily. He lifts his chin, the tiniest bit, but it doesn't intimidate me. I square my shoulders and stand up straight. He's only just taller than me.
