As soon as we got the the ladie’s room, Anabell began to question me.
“What did he say to you? Why was he touching your arm? And how in the name of hell did he get you to smile!? You haven’t smiled since..God, I don’t even know!” I smiply shook my head and said, “He’s taking me off campus today, at lunch. But I don’t know where he’s taking me.” I wet a paper towel and dabbed at my eyes. They were red and puffy. I wiped them so the swelling went down a bit, then fixed my make-up so they didn’t look as red. We walked back to homeroom; she soon left me to talk to Brittany. I went to my desk to study for a biology quiz.
I could not wait for fifth period to come. Where could John possibly be taking me? The bell rang for first period, and I gathered my books. John appeared at my side.
“Can I walk you to class?” I blushed agin. “Uhm, sure.” I smiled, and he fell into step beside me. We talked the whole way, arriving at my algebra class too soon.
“See you later?” I nodded.
He kissed my cheek, and left.
