HOLY SHIT.

I have kissed multiple girls before, but with Leah, it's like a fire has erupted through my body.

This is so much better than I imagined.

And yes, I have imagined kissing Leah ever since we were little.

Leah was taken back for a moment, but she played along. I wrapped my arms around her waist as the kiss deepened.

Then, even though I wanted to keep kissing her, I pulled back from Leah.

Leah's eyes opened, revealing her eyes.

God, her eyes!

Majority of people would just say her eyes are a normal brown, but they aren't. Her eyes are like milk chocolate, and around the edges, there is a darker brown outline her orb.

"Oh my gosh," she mumbled softly as she looked around.

I glanced away from her, and I saw everybody was watching us with their mouths ajar.

And Asher looked pissed.

It takes everything in me not to go over there and beat the absolute shit out of him for hurting Leah.

He doesn't deserve her.

Speaking of Leah, I looked back down at her, and she was pale white as everybody started whispering about what just happened.

"Come on, let's get to class," I told her, quietly, trying to get her out of here.

She nodded, and we made our way to class. Leah stayed silent the whole time, and I saw Jake and Xavier standing down the hallway with Eliza.

They all three noticed me right away, but I didn't care. I walked with Leah into the classroom where a few people were in here studying for the chemistry test we have later today.

I followed Leah to the back of the class, and I sat down right in front of her so if any dumbass tried to mess with her, they would have to get through me first.

I looked at Leah to see her playing with the sleeves of a gray sweatshirt.

My gray sweatshirt to be exact.

I hid a smile back, and I said,"You know, I'm thinking you are keeping my sweatshirt hostage."

Her eyebrows furrowed together in confusion until she looked down and realized that she was in my sweatshirt.

"Oh crap, I totally forgot that I had your sweatshirt," she said as she moved to take it off.

I stopped her by placing my hand on her hand. Her breathing hitched, and I quickly removed my hand.

"It looks better on you, anyways," I stated before the bell rang.

Students started filing in, and they tried to glance at Leah, but they quickly stopped when they saw me glaring at them.

Vanessa walked in, and she sat right next to Leah. I heard them whispering, but I didn't know what they were talking about.

The teacher started the lesson, and the whole time he was teaching, I didn't pay attention. Once the bell rang, I was thankful to leave that horrid classroom.

I followed Leah to her next class, and I didn't have this class with her, but Vanessa did. So I know she will be fine.

Why do I care so much if Leah is fine?

Probably because you have had  a crush on her since elementary school?

Shut up.

Okay, so, yes, I have liked Leah since we were little, but before I could man up and ask her out, Asher did.

After they got together, I thought they would be together forever since they were that type of couple.

When I found out he was cheating on her, I had the smallest feeling of hope that maybe she will start liking me. I know that's selfish, but what can I do?

But from the looks of it, Leah is utterly heartbroken.

"Joshy, you gonna come with us?" Xavier asked me, swinging an arm around my shoulder.

Xavier is one of my best friends. His blonde shaggy hair was curly today, and his brown eyes were filled with excitement.

We have been friends since second grade when some kid tripped Xavier and took his brownie. I found the kid, and I poured chocolate milk all over him before taking the brownie away from him.

I shrugged him off,"First off, don't call me that fucking name. Secondly, no. I have stuff to do."

"Stuff with that whore you so call a friend?" Eliza's sharp voice said behind me.

Anger boiled throughout my body, and I spun around to face her. Eliza smirked when she realized I was angry. 

"Call her that one more time, I dare you," I fumed at her as Jake, my other best friend, wrapped an arm around Eliza.

Jake joined the group in seventh grade. He just moved to town, and he pranked them teacher the first day he was here so he was immediately accepted.

And he is dating Eliza, who only joined a year ago. She's alright for the most part, but she knows how to push my buttons.

"Ouch, did I hit a spot?" Eliza asked before saying,"Look, you know that if you have a cheating scandal, you gotta do it secretly."

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused,"What are you talking about?"

"You haven't heard?" Jake asked me, making me shake my head.

"Well, Asher has been going around the whole school saying that you and blondie slept together at the party Friday. People also saw you two walking upstairs so everybody believes him," Eliza answered, twirling a piece of her hair.

That's why everybody was looking at Leah and me weirdly.

"I'm going to kill him," I stated before turning around to find that stupid bastard.

"Wait, so, is it true or no?" Xavier asked as I continued to walk.

"Not true. Asher cheated," I simply answered before walking out the double doors.

I looked around in the courtyard since I know that is where he'll be. Asher is always talking about him and his buddies "study" in the courtyard second period.

And I found him sitting on a picnic table, laughing at something one of his friends said. I stormed over there, and Asher didn't see me coming.

I came up to him, and I pushed him off the table. He fell to the ground before letting out a curse.

"You fucking liar!" I yelled at him as one of his buddies went to grab me.

"Blake, don't," Asher said as he stood up. He had a small cut on his cheek from the fall.

The guy, Blake, moved back, and Asher stepped towards me.

"You need to put an end to those rumors, Asher. You cheated not Leah," I accused him, pointing a finger at him.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Joshua," Asher replied, curtly, shoving his hands in his letterman jacket.

"Like the hell you don't. Leah and I never slept together. You slept with Brooke, and we caught you two."

Asher tsked, placing a hand on my shoulder,"Joshua, nobody is going to believe you two. You are the school's bad boy, and Leah is,well, a slut."

Within a second, I swung a fist at Asher. I hit him in the cheek, making him stumble.

"Don't you dare fucking call her that, asshole."

Asher laughed as he touched his cheek. I decided to do the civil thing, and I started to walk away from him or else I was going to hit him again and again.

"If you think she is going to fall in love with you, you are sadly mistaken, brother," Asher called out behind me.

My body stiffen, but I kept walking. I walked into the school building, and I entered the class I was suppose to be attending ten minutes ago.

The teacher didn't say one word to me, and I am beyond grateful because I don't feel like dealing with her bullshit right now.

As I sat in my desk, I examined my red and will be bruised knuckles.

I'm going to have to warn Leah about the rumors because I'm certain she hasn't heard about them yet.

Asher literally destroyed her, and he doesn't give two shits.

She deserves better.

So much better.
