I finally get my locker to open and get the crappy five year old Biology book after five minutes of hitting the blue metal.

“Hey, Peyton.”, Dino says leaning against the wall. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“Good.”, He leans in and kisses me. “So what was going on last night with you?”

“It was nothing, I was just thinking about Jackie.”

“Why?”

“She just didn’t show up yesterday.”

“She didn’t?”

“No.”

“Well, are you gonna talk to her?”

“If I can find her.”

“I saw her at the quad a few minutes ago.”

“I better go.”

“Wait.”

“What?”

“Come here.” He pulls me to him and kisses me. “Go be the girl I love.”

“I’ll try.”

There she is. Here we go.
