"Alex!"
I lifted my head from my binder I was grabbing, glancing up towards who was calling my name. It was James, walking quickly to me.
Demetri wasn't here today. I wasn't sure why. Maybe he had mentioned it but I had forgotten. What I couldn't forget was what had gone on the night before - That make out session was amazing, and it was also the first time I've ever touched another guy in a romantic way.
James grinned, leaning against his locker. "So, how was last night?"
"Fun." I replied simply, shrugging.
"Details, boy, details!" he grabbed me by the shoulders, giving me a shake. "I want to know exactly what happened, everything. And I do mean
everything
."
We began walking to class. "Well we met up in those trees at the park and--"
"The sex trees?" James exclaimed in question with sparkling eyes. "No wonder you seem so cheerful today."
I shook my head, sighing in annoyance. "God, James. Yeah, we met there but nothing like that happened. We just talked a little bit and..." I trailed off.
His eyes widened slightly. "You kissed him, didn't you?" he asked, watching my expression. My cheeks pinkened a bit, and he broke out in a grin once again. "Not just that, I'm sensing it was more of a make out than just a kiss, hmm?"
I was blushing, but I smiled and nodded shamelessly. "But that's it. Nothing else happened."
"So where's your new boyfriend today, then?" James asked, looking around.
"He's not my boyfriend." I muttered. Or at least, I didn't think he was. Just because we made out didn't mean we were together, did it? I didn't think we just automatically became a couple the moment we kissed. "And I don't know. Maybe he's sick."
He rolled his eyes. "Sure." his tone was sarcastic, amusement clearly shown on his face.
Demetri arrived during the middle of our second period, which was math class. He had been late because of a dentist's appointment, so he said. The moment he entered the classroom, his eyes fell on me. I felt my heart triple in speed, returning his sweet grin with a shy smile.
Of course, we just had to have to do a partner assignment. The moment we were up to pick partners, Demetri and I slowly found our way to each other. I was much more doe-eyed about it, looking around as if in consideration, while he just made a bee-line straight for me.
Before he even spoke, I nodded, smiling. We asked to go work in the hallway, then picked up our things and left the classroom. When we sat down, leaning against our lockers, I glanced at him.
"So, um... Where do we, uh, stand? I mean, with each other?" I asked awkwardly, unsure of what to say. I felt stupid, and my cheeks went hot, but I knew it was a question I needed to ask.
Demetri just smiled. "Depends on where you want us to stand." he replied, opening up his text book to the right page, but certainly not intending to actually do any work.
