Charlotte and I woke up an hour late for school which caused a frustrated Carolina to yell at us.

When Charlotte and I finally arrived at school we were surprised to see that there was a pep rally happening.

Who has a pep rally at nine in the morning?!

We quickly check ourselves in before we walk towards the gym.

"I have something way more interesting that we can be doing" Charlotte says which causes me to roll my eyes at her

"Chill, you still have a cast for one more week" I say matter of factly as she groans

"Don't remind me" She says as I laugh


"Did you like the pep rally?" A random cheerleader asks me as I stand up to leave the gym

She's been staring at me the whole time. If I'm being honest it's creeping me out.

"Yeah" I lied

I didn't hate the pep rally but the cheers and dances were too repetitive in my opinion. Maybe our school needs new material.

"Great," She says with a bright smile as her brown ponytail swings freely

"We worked really hard on it" she says which causes me to smile before we're interrupted by, guess who?

If you guessed Maddie then you're absolutely correct.

"Bri, why are you talking to her?" Maddie asks as she stops beside the cheerleader

Oh, so her name is Bri.

"Can I not talk to Charlotte's girlfriend?" Bri asks Maddie with an eye roll which causes me to roll my eyes

Why do people keep assuming that we're dating?!

We look nothing like a couple!

"I have a name" I state with an annoyed tone

"S

"Stop it, Charlotte" I say for the hundredth time since we've all started decorating the tree

Every time I go to grab an ornament from the couch she hold it above her head which causes me to groan.

She's 5'7" while I'm 5'3".

She laughs as I reach up to get it but barely reach it since I'm not tall enough.

I obliviously press my body against hers and stand on my tip toes as I wrap one arm around her neck for stabilization and reach the other up towards hers that has the ornament captured.

"Charlotte," I sat in an annoyed tone before I tilt my head down to look at her only to have my breath get caught in my throat

Our noses brush together as her bright green eyes slowly dilate and gaze into my hazel ones.

I feel her heartbeat start to accelerate as my hold around her neck tightens.

Great, nice to know I'm not the only one.

My lower belly starts to tingle as the rest of my body vib
