speaks. “I want to kiss you again.
Tell me now if you don’t want me to.”
No, no. I’m thinking the word but I can’t bring myself to say it out
loud. No matter how much I try to deny it, I do want him to kiss me again. He
leans close to me and turns his head. I close my eyes so that he can’t see
them. He brushes his lips against mine the same way he did in the bathroom. I
don’t respond. He starts to caress my face and run his fingers through my hair.
I open my eyes for just a second, but that was all it took.
He had been looking at my eyes with his face so close to mine that when
I opened my eyes it was like our minds melded into one. He kissed me again but this
time it was that passionate kiss he gave me in the bedroom. I tried to push him
back as I had in the bathroom earlier today, but my hands quickly moved to his
hair. I didn’t want him to stop. We lay down on the ground beneath the bleachers
and continued kissing.
He was about to move on to my neck when we heard the fire alarm. We had
missed part of Biology and if we weren’t careful, we were about to be seen by
no less than half of the school when they walked over here for the fire drill.
As if he had read my mind, Damian grabbed my hand “I have two ideas:
One, I can sneak us into class and no one will know the difference; or two, we
can just go ahead and hide in the field and join the next class since we’ve
probably already been marked absent.”
Crap, I’m going to have another detention this Saturday. Aunt Lynn is
going to kill me.
“Do you trust me?”
I look up at him, “It depends on what you want me to trust you about.
Why?”
He looks away from me, “Okay, will you trust me? I think I can keep you
out of detention.”
How did he? “I don’t know how you would be able to do that. Are you a
miracle worker?” That was a stupid question. He had saved me twice.
“Stay here. Stay down, I’ll be right back. Don’t move.” That
sounds familiar. Why does he always get to be in charge? I drop my mouth open
to say something else, but he kisses me fast and runs off.
Chapter Ten
Damian’s POV
Okay. All I have to do is get into the classroom and change the attendance
sheet before the drill is over. I crawl in the open Biology window and move to
the teacher’s desk. I could change Sara’s to a present and then…wait. The
teacher didn’t fill in today’s attendance sheet. She must have forgotten with the
blood typing still going on.
Alright I would hurry back to Sara and we would be fine. Our table was
in the back of the room so it would be easy to say we had been there the whole
time. I sneak back out the window just in time to hear the principal coming up
the hall. I listened as I moved slowly back towards the field.
“So you’re telling me that Shaun Rusnack pulled the fire alarm? I can’t
believe it. He’s always been such a good kid.” I’ll have to thank him later.
Whether he pulled it for us or not, he had done us a huge favor.
Sara’s POV
My legs are starting to cramp when I see Damian sneaking around the
back of the field. I start to stand but he motions for me to stay put. I wait
for him to get closer.
“Okay, we can get into class. Just act like we were there the whole
time. The teacher hasn’t filled out the attendance sheet yet.” Great, now I can
add lying to my resume. “Oh and remind me to thank Shaun later.”
I look at him puzzled, “For what, throwing me up on stage with you
yesterday?” My attempt at sarcasm was horrible. “I’m kidding. Unless, that’s
really what you want to thank him for. In that case, you can thank him for me
too.”
He looked around and grabbed my hand, “Do you still want to sneak in? I
have a feeling we won’t see Shaun at your locker later.”
What that had to do with anything I didn’t know, “Yeah, we better.”

We held hands throughout the rest of the day. It was like we were
