The Group Project;Ruel[Discontinued]

Twelve

It was the next morning after we all got together at Ruel's house. There was a lot going around in my head, things got kind of intense. I don't really know how I feel and I have no idea if that actually meant anything to either of us. I had to admit, that kiss wasn't nothing. I know we both obviously have some feelings towards each other, but I don't know what to do with that.

Before I get way too into my head I get out of bed to get ready for school. I go to my dresser to pick out my clothes, as I pass my mirror something catches my eye.

I thought it was just a bruise I got in my sleep some how but I quickly realized that it wasn't just a bruise, I had a huge hickey on the side of my neck. I mentally freak out realizing that my parents could've seen it when I came home last night. Although they did seem focused on other things, hopefully I was in the clear. I tried to cover the hickey with a bunch of concealer and to help hide it a bit more I left my hair down.

For some reason I was nervous about going to school, or more specifically facing Ruel at school. After our whole makeout thing I don't know how to act around him.

I went throughout the day as I usually do, it was nothing special. That was until I actually had a class with Ruel. I quietly sat down next to him while he was distracted from talking to his friend behind him. Then the bell rang so he turned around and noticed me.

"Oh hey, I didn't even hear you sit down." Ruel says then flashes me a warm smile

"Yea I'm just tired." I say before resting my head on my arms

"Me too, it's kind of just one of those days."

"Mhm." I said muffled by my arms

"Wait what's that?" Ruel says confused

"What's what?" I say sitting up

"Thi- oH." Ruel cuts himself off still leaving me confused

Ruel whisper shouts into my ear "it was that big?! Damn!"

I then realize he's talking about the hickey HE gave me. "Yea jUst a little bit. This is your fault ya know." I reply

"Oops." He blushes

"I mean I'm lowkey proud though, that's some good work." He smirks to himself before I smack his chest

"Ruel!"

"Ok guys listen up!" Our teacher Ms. Anderson spoke cutting Ruel and I's conversation off

"Today will be a pretty laid back day. I still don't want to see phones out, but this should be fun anyways." She said handing out sheets of blank paper

"What I want you and your partner to do is to draw each other. I want you to label what you see them as, but please be respectful. Other than that there are no limits." She smiles and gestures us to get started

"Ya know other than singing, my biggest talent is definitely art." Ruel says with a smug glance towards me

"Oh is it?" I ask sarcastically as I start drawing Ruel as a stick figure on my paper

He chuckles "oh yea for sure, I could easily be Bob Ross ."

"Maybe, but I think I'm way better than you." I say with wink

He gasps "are you challenging me?"

I simply shrug with a sly smirk on my face and continue my drawing

"Ok, bet." Ruel says before going back to his own drawing

After a few minutes of drawing we both show each other our papers and we immediately burst into laughter.
