Betilla's POV

I walked out of the stall with my cheeks beaming red. Lance walked out with a smirk behind me. I tried to adjust my hair that seemed rough after all the pulling and-

Stop.

He kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear. "I'll catch up with you later." And he walked out of the toilet. I pushed out those bloody thoughts out of my head and focused on my appearance. After making myself presentable, I headed to the library. But as usual, my thoughts wandered back to the heated moment we had. No, it was PG13. No rated 18 shit. Yet

We kissed and well, you know. But, at that moment, he whispered in my ear. "Date me Betilla." Obviously, that got me. I thought about it for a second and he didn't give me time to reply when he enveloped my lips once more with his. And well that summed everything up. I'm guessing Lance was my boyfriend now. I've always liked him and well dreamt about dating him but no I didn't know how to feel about it. I pushed those thoughts aside once more as I entered the library.

I was suddenly in the mood for reading. I walked through the numerous shelves of books and picked

Fractured

A novel by Karin Slaughter

AN: Good book guys.

I sighed as I sat down and started to read. But I felt something. A pair of eyes on me. I looked around and saw no one but I still felt someone staring at me. I shrugged that feeling off and continued reading. Ten minutes into reading, I got a text from my brother. I put a stray hair behind my ear and opened it.

'Bumblebee, you have a boyfriend?'

I sat up straighter than I normally did and I typed back. 

'Wait what?'

He didn't reply and I took that as a sign to go see him. He was also having a free period and well I met up with him by the courtyard alongside him stood, Lance. I blushed again at the sight of him. He gave me his charming smile and Benedict just rolled his eyes at us." So you know Benedict." I said looking at Lance. He avoided my stare. I groaned and punched him playfully on his arm. 

"I wanted to be the one to tell him!"I whined like a child. And Lance wrapped his hands around me and chuckled. "I'm sorry love." I rolled my eyes at him and wriggled away from his grasp.

I looked at Benedict who was looking happy and sad at the same time. "What's wrong ?" I asked. He looked up at me and smiled. "Nothing Bumblebee." He chuckled and walked into the school leaving both Lance and me outside. I checked the time and saw that it was 5 minutes to the next class. I grabbed his hand and rushed into school behind Benedict.

Note to self, Pester Benedict at home

I stepped into another boring class of algebra and finally realised something. Mae was absent! I felt really sad and guilty for not remembering earlier. I sent her a quick text asking after her when the teacher wasn't looking.  

A quick sidebar? Yeah. Mae is Lance's sister. Adopted. They've always acted as twins though. She's my best friend well after Benedict. End? After that treacherous long hour of my life I couldn't get back, I had Geography with Lance. I smiled because I was starting to miss him. I guess I really liked him after all. I walked into Geography class and sat down at a window seat and scrolled through my insta feed before the teacher stepped in. I smiled when my phone vibrated from a text from Lance. It read

'Lookup.'

I did and I saw him standing there with a big smile and I knew right there that I was going to enjoy Geography for the first time. Hehe

Geography went by faster than I wanted it too but I enjoyed it and because of Lance, I paid zero attention. 

We walked out of class hands in hand together and he kissed the back of my hand and gave me a cheeky smile as we walked to our next class

The rest of the day was really lovely and I could say that the entire school knew that we were dating. Hehe
