Lincoln kept staring with his mouth slightly parted. "Are you guys together?"
"No!" I twisted Lance's arm and pushed him away.
"Ouch princess that hurt" Lance put his hand on his hand before placing it on his heart.
My response was to glare fiercely at him. He recoiled immediately like a snake that was exposed to fire.
"Since when did you let anyone...I mean ANYONE...especially Houston..of—of all people...call you princess?" Linc asked me.
He turned to Lance, "and when did YOU start agreeing to be called Lance?" He started pacing."I'm so confused why two devils are suddenly being nice"
"Ok uncle, first I'm right here and I can here you. Second, he doesn't listen to me so even if I told him to stop he'd ignore me so I just let him" I said in my defense. "I'm going to the washroom" I walked away as fast as I could but my phone beeped so I slowed down to a stop to check it.
[Seth❤ boo: hi are you okay?]
I smiled at my phone. At least he showed some care not like some people who liked to think that the world revolves around them. I glanced over my shoulder to see the two of them watching me.
[Me: I'm fine thanks for asking
Seth❤ boo: oh thank God. I thought you were mad at me or something
Me: what? why would you think that
Seth❤ boo: I dunno...because I was a bit rude to your friend?
Me: jerk face is not my friend
Seth❤ boo: oh OK. um...I want to say something but I don't know how to start
Me: just say it
Seth❤ boo: If nothing lasts forever, I was wondering if you might wanna be my nothing?]
My mouth opened wide and I felt around for the wall to support myself as my legs started turning to jelly.
"Are you ok?" Linc and Lance asked at the same time. I didnt even notice them coming towards me.
I was sure my face was a picture of a ripe tomato. "Why are you blushing?" Lance asked confirming my suspicions.
"P-p-pick up line" I said breathlessly with a gentle smile tugging at my lips.
"I don't understand" Linc said.
"Well I do" Lance crossed his arms across his chest. He bit his lower lip then eyed me "he was the one who sent it, right?"
I rolled my eyes. "If that 'he' is Seth then yes" I nodded and went back to the class to get my bag and move to my next class.
When I got there my bag was on Seth's thighs. I waved at it. "what's going on?"
"She tried to...touch it" he nodded to Doris.
I nodded and smiled. "Thanks..for this and... you know what"
His cheeks had a faint streak of pink as he gave me back my backpack. Doris cleared her throat. *ahem* can we talk?" she asked Seth clearly trying to annoy me as she put a hand on his.
I sighed and shook my head. Seth raised his hand to shake her off but before he could do it I slapped her hand off and pulled Seth to his feet.
"We have a class to attend" I said.
Seth put his bag on his back and smiled down at me.
"You're not even his girlfriend" Doris said. And as much as I hate to admit that crawled under my skin.
Seth must've noticed my discomfort because he grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the class but not before giving Doris the finger.
"I'm so sorry about that" he started the moment we stepped out of the class.
"Its okay I guess but I have to ask...did you maybe know her before or something?"
He averted his gaze to the floor. "Its okay you don't have to answer—" I rushed to explain but he cut me off.
"No problem. I—em..." he looked around but we were the only ones in the corridor. "Not here" he shook his head and pulled me along with him till we found an empty classroom which after looking around I discovered that it was the civics class.
*ahem* "I probably should've told you this. Doris—she's my...my...er ex"
The shock that bomb dropped on me neutralized my senses and my mouth was left hanging open.
Wide open.
*cough cough* "What?! when did—how did that happen?"
"She was in the school I left to come here. We dated—and that's it. Dated as in the past" he cupped my cheek with the hand wasn't holding mine, which made me remember that we were still holding hands. My temperature slowly rose.
"I'm love someone else now" he smiled softly. His head dipped lower—
"Absolutely shameless" we turned to find out the source of the voice...well its no other but the witch bitch herself.
Doris.
"what do you think you're doing snuggling up to someone's boyfriend, huh?" she asked.
"What are you doing here?" Seth asked.
"Babe...don't use that tone on me because of this...thing" she cat walked towards him and I blocked her path.
"Stay away Jezebel" I said.
"And who are you to stop me? you're not even his—"
Her words were swallowed up as I spun around and pressed my lips to Seth's. He was shocked for a while but he quickly recovered and held my waist tighter.
We only let go when we were sufficiently out of breath. He smiled and whispered: "that kiss was certainly long overdue"
I was out of breath so I just held onto his face without letting go. I felt so happy. I had dreamt of this moment for a long time, although, I imagined it in a more romantic way and in the civics classroom, in front of this witch was definitely not in my agenda.
*ahem* "so what did you gain by that you slut?" I heard Doris ask behind me. She clapped her hands. "Kissing someone's boyfriend? At least you should know there's a penalty for that. You're not that dumb to not know that"
