~Ruby's P.O.V~ 

The sun beamed through the glass windows and yet, my mind is clouded in grey. Anytime she saw a familiar shade of blue she immediately thought about Sal Fisher. The days of them flirting back and forth was a silly game they played. The laughs they shared echoed throughout her mind like a boomerang. Intimate kisses although they were along her face began to slowly burn in the back of her mind yet, not forgotten. Each moment they shared together felt precious to her but, she couldn't bear to hurt herself again. 

However, no matter what she did, Sal found his way into her mind. Infected by his charm her face began to glow as red as her lips. No! stop it! Don't think about him! she yelled at herself slapping her cheeks causing more than just blood to flow

The sound of someone clearing their throat loudly stopped her from shenanigans. "Miss Rose, is everything alright?" Mrs.Bauble asked rubbing her pregnant belly with a stern expression

Rose shook her head laughing nervously causing the entire class to laugh. In embarrassment, Ruby threw her hands on the desk and her along with them. After class, she saw the handsome hair eyed devil himself waiting for her across the hall. Staring at him for a moment was all it took for her to book it. To her fear, she wasn't fast enough when she felt his big skinny hand on her wrist. Oh no she thought dread filled her bones 

Without giving her time to turn around to meet those ocean pools, he whisked her away in a random classroom. Darkness eloped the two in complete silence. "What the hell do you think you're doing Sal Fisher?" she whispered angrily

"I could be asking you the same thing" he challenged

"What?" she asked in disbelief

Is he serious right now? I'm not the one who was being a jerk! she exclaimed herself crossing her arms over her chest "You're the one in the wrong here!" she reminded him 

"I know. Trust me, I know." he ran his fingers through his hair surprised she's even talking to him at all

"You have 2 minutes to tell me why you dragged me in here or I'll scream" tightening up the grip over her chest

"I'm here to apologize,"  he started rubbing the back of his neck feeling his anxiety growing inside of him

"Obviously" she stated confidently waiting for him to continue

"I'm sorry for being an asshole. You didn't deserve that and you did warn me that it might hit home for me. It did but, that doesn't mean I should've treated you that way. I just..." he trailed off looking away from the chocolate eyed beauty before him

"What? you can tell me..." she finally uncrossed her arms 

"like you..." he confessed blushing to stare into endless darkness

Ruby blushed hearing his confession of affection towards her. I lit a flame in my heart unlike any other before. "Really?" she whispered shyly

"Of course." he quickly replied taking her small delicate soft hands into his own "Of course," he repeated in a low whisper

It sent shivers down her spine when she felt his hands for the first time holding hers. The way his voice grew low made butterflies appear inside the pit of her belly. I can't see him and he still has this powerful effect on me. My body suddenly had a mind of its own and I gently squeezed his hand. "Do you feel how I feel?"  he asked in a  seductive whisper 

Instead of answering him I slowly put my hands at the of his mask. My fingers gently grazing across soft flesh underneath. Feeling Sal flench against the gentle touch I pause. I can hear his breathing change in the silent room. Sal took his time and I was patient when he finally made his move. His hand met my own pushing them down on his chest while his other hand slowly pushed up his mask exposing the lower half of his face.
