"Give it back!" i said giggling, which is something i rarely do.
"nope! i need to add my number!" he said smiling and putting my phone high above my head.
"fine!' i said standing waiting for Christian to add his number into my phone. we were at homecoming and the football game had just started, me and Christian were waiting on the bleachers, for Marci to show up.
"you never smile Muse." he said grabbing my waist making me jump, and laugh
"there we go! whats with all black?" he said pinching the sleeve of my shirt
"must you contradict everything i do?!" i said slapping his shoulder. he laughed, like he always does whenever i hit him. i guess its funny how weak i am compared to him.
"you also talk so formally...." he said laughing. i looked away. Christian put his arm around my shoulders and hugged me. i lost my breathe. boys never hug me. never. this was probably the first.
"so where is everyone?" he said letting go and looking over the crowd.
"i dont know..." i said surveying the group around us.
"Hey! Hey Marci!" said Christian jumping up and running towards her. i climbed down from the bleachers to meet up with Kim, Georgia and Juliet. Juliet is one of my best friends since 3rd grade. she used to hang out with all the popular preppy kids that tease me. for a while we stopped talking, because i was the creepy goth girl and she was pretty and preppy. but shes changed. now shes scene and she self harms. im glad she came, since she never some out to school events because the preps will most likely be there. shes also gorgeous which gets her a lot of attention she doesnt want.
"hey Muse!" she said greeting me with a hug. "have you seen any skater kids around here?"
"yeah. over there, near the bushes...." i said pointing in there direction.
"cool, see you guys later i assume?" and she walked away.
"Hi Marci, what have you been up too?' said Christian giving her a hug. we all walked around for a while watching the game, and everytime Christian seemed to sit next to Marci the whole time. until 3 girls came up to him, that i've never seen before.
"hi Christian!" said the tall girl. she had light brown hair and brown eyes.
"Hi Samantha!" and he gave her a big hug. just like the one he gave me...i no longer felt special at all. He hugged all three of them, and then they walked away. when it began to get dark out and the fireworks began a couple of his friends came over. three of them. they all started talking and having a little bromance with each other. it was getting cold and i was shivering at this point.
"i think im going to go home guys. i'll see you all tomarrow." i said starting to stand up
"here take my jacket." said Christian standing up and unzipping his jacket.
"no, im fine. i have to go anyway since its dark." i said walking away. i had to walk home, which was not fun for me. i live close to the school, so its not very far but when its dark on a friday night, there are a lot of drunk people in the area and they are not fun to deal with.
"I'll walk with you." said Christian standing up and walking in my direction. Marci winked at me.
"No. No its okay its not that far." i said
"Muse, no offense but you're a tiny person, and people can take advantage of that. I'm a black belt and I bet everyone would feel a lot better if i came." he said walking away with me towards the gate of the school. and that settled it, i was being walked home by the most perfect guy ever.
