I walk into class and see Conner already in his seat. I smile and walk over to him.
"Hey, why were you late?"

I shake my head.
"Nothin, just my dad. The usual. "

"Oh.. you seem.. happy though. What's up?"

"Nothing. I don't know. I just seem.. better than usual. I like it. "
I say smiling more as I look over at him. He smiles as well "that's good. I like when my baby boy is happy" he kisses my cheek gently.

I giggle quietly and smile widely.
"I like your sweater by the way. And your skirt. And you know.. everything about you. "
He says still smiling. I smile wider "why thank you." I say softly and look over him "and might I say you look.... incredible" I say smiling wider

He chuckles and gently grabs my hand "babe I'm wearing my sleep clothes" he says and we both laugh.

"Well, maybe I like you better in bed"
I say not thinking. He puts his hand over his mouth to hold in laughter.

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!"

He starts laughing out loud holding his stomach "OH MY GOD!!"

"Conner be quiet! You're gonna get in trouble!"

He puts his hand over his mouth and tries to calm down.

"That's not what I meant by the way, you butt. "

He chuckles "yeah but I bet it's true" he says and winks.

"Well we'll just have to find out soon if it is the truth or not. "
He looks at me getting serious and his face starts getting red.

"Don't look at me like that. "
I say, sorta giggling.
He chuckles and smirks "well....when will we find out?"

"Pfft, I dunno"
I shrug my shoulders and sorta tilt my head. He chuckles "whenever you want it....you can have it"

"Well what about in school? We can't do it in the bathroom. "

"well we can't do it at school...but there's always my house" he says and smirks.

"Last time we did anything, your brother interrupted. "

"that's why midnight is a thing and why locks were invented"

"Alright then. What about tonight? I'll come over after the game. "

"I'm fine with that"

"Alright. We should probably get to work before we get in trouble though. "

Conner nods and gets to work on the worksheet. I do the same.

I put my tray down on the table and sit down next to Conner.

"Hey Chloe. "
I say, smiling.

"you seem like you're in a good mood today. "

"Heh, yeah. Conner and I had a.. um.. interesting conversation in our first class. "

Conner lightly slaps my thigh.
"Shut up"

Chloe looks at us confused "what was it?"

"Nothing. "
Conner says quickly. Chloe glances over at me.

"Just something that happened at his house. Nothing important. "

She smiles "were y'all getting down and dirty?"

"Chloe shut up!"

Chloe and I laugh while looking at Conner, who's face is a dark red hue. I smile at Conner. I look around the cafeteria biting my lip gently. I see Derek sitting across the room looking at me. We make eye contact and a chill goes down my spine as I look away. I grab a fry on my tray and shove it in my mouth.
