Valencia's pov

I hear a light knock on my door. I leave my text books open on the coffee table going to see who it is. I am met with Silas who has a look of guilt. "Hey Silas you alright?" He breaks eye contact with me looking at the floor.

He lets out a deep breath before looking at me again. "I want to say sorry" I give him a look of confusion. "Silas, you did nothing wrong. Why are you apologizing?" He breaks contact with me looking down at the table. He fidgets with his hands and bounces his knee up and down.

"Hey look at me" I grab his hand "You did nothing wrong. Is it because we didn't walk to class together?" He nods his eyes full of guilt.

"That's nothing Silas we have tomorrow and the next day and the day after that." I grab his hands and he freezes looking at me with a different expression. I feel butterflies erupt in my stomach. My head spins all over the room. "I'm still sorry" He squeaks out rubbing his thumb on my knuckles.

His hands are so soft. This feels comforting. Just a small thing means so much. I wonder what it would feel like if I just layed in his arms. He looks like he'd be so delicate with me. I wonder what's the story behind those grey eyes.

Why is Silas De Santis so closed off from everyone?

Who could have hurt This sweet boy?

The thought of it makes me angry. There are not enough people in this world who enjoy sitting around reading a book. Let alone a man. Most people are scared society will judge them but they are judging regardless.

Everyone is taught from young don't judge a book by its cover but that is the first thing that we do. It's common nature.

"Can I ask you a question?" He stutters in between each word. I take the opportunity to move my chair closer to his. "Of course"

"Why do you have a bookshelf that's full of books but they look like they haven't been opened in years"

"I used to love reading and I take them everywhere with me to remind myself how much I used to love reading. I stopped reading when I was 14. I was going through a lot and I lost that happiness I found in reading. I used the books to cover my tears instead of letting the words bring me to another place"

"There's a lot more to you than what you put out."

"I don't want to get hurt again"

I watch his eyes soften and he looks at me with a sad expression. "I've barely known you for 48 hours and I can tell you whoever hurt you never deserved you" A small smile came to my face. I didn't realize we got this close. Our foreheads touching each other's hands are still massaging mine. His free-hand moves the hair out of my face.

"Anyone in this school would be lucky to have you, you don't let people see you. Why?"

"I'm just like you, I don't want to get hurt again. My parents left me when I was 5 i've been living with my grandparents ever since then."

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be they were shit anyways"

Our lips brush against each other. I feel my body explode. A loud knock on the door makes us jump apart, blood rushes to my face. I'm going to kill whoevers at the door. "What" Of course it's Vadik.

"Awe i'm making you blush already принцесса (princess)" I roll my eyes shaking my head no. "Don't you wish. What can I help you with?" He hands me a necklace with my name on it.

"We all wear them. Emira made it for you, she knows how to do all that shit. She told me to give it to you then she brought Khons into her room"

"I'll make sure to thank her and thank you Vadik"

"See you later принцесса" I close the door turning back to Silas. He keeps his head down picking at the skin on his thumb. "Can you help me put this on?" I hand him the necklace he towers behind me moving my hair to one side.

His soft hands go over my shoulder hooking the clip. His touch is so hot my shoulder tingles from the small touch he did. His hands rest on my upper arm. I turn around looking at him feeling a ray of feelings.

"I should probably go" No, don't leave. I like your company. It's too late. He's already walking out the door. "Silas wait" He stops outside the door turning to me.

I press a kiss to his cheek giving him a genuine smile. "Good night sweet dreams"

"Good night Valencia" A blush creeps on his face. I close the door not being able to get rid of the smile on my face.

Maybe highpoint isn't that bad.
