Let Me Love You

•23•

It's been two months and Esme is growing into a beautiful baby.

Ups and downs with Ruby,but now, she's opening up even though she leaves some details out.

"Would you stop day dreaming," Dante rolls his eyes. "We just passed your locker"

"Oh-" I say as I halt. "Sorry" and we begin to walk back.

"Trish is my lab partner," Dante grins.

"Awesome" I say as I grab my books.

"Although she has a boyfriend"

"Well," I scoff. "Who doesn't know that she's dating the Hockey team's captain"

"She's pretty nice"

"And giggly" I say.

"Aaand giggly" Dante says and laughs at the end.

Dante likes Trish. He has for some weeks now,but she has a boyfriend.

"I'm not hungry" Ruby says as we walk out of school

"Hmm," I shrug. "Your loss" I say and bite into her burger.

"Do you have to chew so loudly,Jason?" She asks

"Yes,to annoy you" I reply and she rolls her eyes.

We wanna do some studying at the library so we both just take a walk.

Two months ago,I kissed this girl,two months ago,she was a sobbing mess in my room. Two months ago,I met her sister.

Presently,I don't know what we are. But I'm damn sure we're friends.

We've had two more heated kisses after the first one but none of us have actually thought of talking about the next step.

I know Ruby wants to talk about it and at the same time,she doesn't.

We walk into the library and pick seats.

I stroll to the shelves to get us some textbooks.

"Just shut up,Jason. You're rambling again" Ruby rolls her eyes. "It's obviously entropy" she shrugs.

"That is....," I stare at the question one more time. "Correct"

She shrugs,to my surprise.. if I was doing this with Kelly,she would have been shrieking and clapping..

Ruby just looks normal.

About twenty minutes later,we continue to study.
"You remember how to draw an energy profile diagram right?," She asks and I nod. "Endothermic with a catalyst?"

I nod again and she also nods.

We walk out of the library,and I'm happy for the progress we're making towards our forthcoming examinations.

"Wanna grab some food?" I ask her.

"No,I'm going home" she says as we approach the school's parking lot where we left our vehicles

I nod and I don't say anything.

When we get to the parking lot,she boards her motorcycle and I walk up to her.

"I'll see you tomorrow,Hart"

"Wait... You heard of the forthcoming prom right?"

"Yeah? Why?"

"I'm just wondering," I say. "You're gonna attend it right?"

She laughs a little

"No," she rolls her eyes. "I'm not gonna dress up all pretty,buy a gown that's expensive enough to pimp my whole motorcycle or even change all the tyres and then have excessive makeup on and then feel very uncomfortable just for one night"
