Alli's POV~

I was just looking over the side of the building, when suddenly, Vic's lips were pressed against my cheek. I felt the color go from my face. I turned, shocked and stood up.
"Alli, I'm sor-" he stopped, seemingly thinking something over, then continued, "actually I'm not sorry at all. Alli, you are so beautiful," he said. I backed up, telling him I was going to just go to class. I couldn't believe that he'd kissed me, even on the cheek. And then called me beautiful. No one had ever called me beautiful before. I didn't know how to react, so I ran, and when I looked back, he looked as if he was going to cry.

I wanted to turn around and comfort him, but I didn't. I had no idea what I'd say. I couldn't very well tell him that I thought he was perfect, or that I was already in love with him. I wasn't like that, and that would probably freak him out anyways. Everything was just moving too quickly. I probably wasn't even in love with him, it was probably just the fact that he was the only person who was ever nice to me besides Lilly.

I didn't go back, but I didn't go to class either. I'd fucked everything up, and I hadn't even been here for a day. I'd ruined my friendship- if you could even call it that yet- with Vic, and probably any chance of Lilly and his brother being friends, or more. I was such a screw up, and I had to punish myself. I ran to one of the bathrooms near what I was assuming was the cafeteria, and locked myself in one of the stalls. I climbed on top of the toilet, so that no one could tell I was there, and pulled out my old friend.

This is for you. All for you.

Lilly's POV~

I heard the bell for first period ring, and I stood up, and helped the boy, who I just learned was named Mike, up onto his feet. He looked over my schedule and smiled.

"What?" I asked, giggling, and grabbing for my schedule.
"It seems that I have the pleasure of having a very pretty girl in my first period," he grinned, looking at me and causing me to blush, yet again. "May I?" he asked, reaching for my hand. I sighed playfully, and said, "If you must."

He laughed and grabbed my hand, then we walked to our class. Right before we entered, I stopped, frozen in my tracks. "Lilly, what's wrong?" Mike asked, moving me over out of the door way. I started breathing rapidly, and pointed in the class room. "That girl, the b-blonde one in front, s-she made f-fun of my s-sister this morning," I stuttered. Great. I was about to have a panic attack in front of possibly the only guy who didn't think I was crazy.

His gaze followed where I was pointing, and he scoffed. "That bitch," he muttered, then turned back to me. I was still hyperventilating, as all of the stress of starting at a new school caught up with me. "Lilly," he began, calmly, but still concerned, "that's Kiera. She's the school slut and just an all around bitch. It's gonna be okay, I won't let her do anything to you, I promise."

That calmed me a little, but I was still panicking. I looked down, but he lifted my chin with his fingers, and made me look him in the eyes. "Lilly, are you okay? Are you having a panic attack?" he asked me. Wait, what? How'd he...?

"H-how did y-you know?" I asked, gasping for air. "I have them too. Follow me," he said, grabbing my hand, and leading me down the hallway and out the back doors. He took me out to a huge tree, and lifted me up, sitting me on a branch. He then swung up and sat in front of me, on another branch directly across from mine.

"Lilly, look at me," he instructed. I reluctantly looked up. "You're going to be okay, just look me in the eyes, and breathe," he said, reaching into his pants pocket for something. I continued to look at him and do my breathing exercises that Alli had taught me. In ten, out seven. Then in nine, out eight, and so forth. When I finished leveling my breathing, he grabbed my hand, and placed a lighter in it.

"You smoke?" I asked him. "No, but I used to. The lighter helps me calm down when Vic, my brother, isn't around. Just flicking it on and off helps me. You should try to focus on the sound of the clicks," he says. I did as he told, and began to play with the flame, listening to the clicking sound it made when I lit it. He was right, it was really calming. I looked up at him, and opened my mouth to say thank you, but just as I was about to speak, he leaned forwards and pressed his lips to mine. I saw fireworks, and we continued to stay like that for a while, until my clumsy self leaned too far forward, and fell off the branch.
Good going Lilly, I thought, as I hit the ground with an embarrassing thud.Now he really wants you.

Notes

Insight into what Alli was thinking :) and Oh my god Lilly and Mike kissed! Funny story, I've actually done something similar to falling out of a tree while kissing someone before xD Except I just slipped on mud, and fell into a puddle Cx Anyways, hope you liked the update! I will try and update again asap! Love you!
