Why I Still Love Him *Part 1*, Stormstreak [rosie project .txt] 📗

I was pushed againt the counter with the beer bottle about to slip off my hand. With the lights off, I wrapped my arms around his neck. His tongue twirled against mine, and his hand reached up to my-
WAIT A MINUTE! What am I saying? REWIND! -Few months earlier- I tugged on my tiny blue strand of hair that was abandoned in my almond hair. A finger snapped at my face. "Racheellllll!" I heard Jamie's whispered voice through my earphones. She stared at me, and looked toward my ear. Crap, she noticed. She took one earphone piece out of my ear and put it in hers. Wasn't my earphones suppose to be unnoticable without the strings??? "Okaaayyy, gimme it back, so I can hear what you had to say." She pointed to Dominic with her thumb. I snatched the earphone back and muttered under my breath. "I don't care." I said. "Rachel!" Ms. Gilgore said, irritated. I banged my head on the desk and muttered 'yes?'. She asked me her question again. I stared at the window to my left, and just muttered a simple answer. She grumbled under her breath. "Next time pay attention. That way I won't have to call on you, when you still know the right answer." I pressed my lips together and nodded. Dont mention it....I thought. At the corner of my eye I saw Dominic's eyes staring at me curiously. I stared at the window and grabbed my notebook and sketched the sky. My notebook had nothing but sketches. I didn't even have to answer anything in it. I already learned everything. I was supposed to skip 3 grades. I wouldve been in my 3rd year of college. But i said no.Id miss my friends too much. I looked up at Dominic. "What?" I snapped at him. I followed his eyes, then traced it back to my short shorts. "Perv. Perv! PERV!" I whispered. He shrugged and tightened a smile as he looked down at his textbook. I dropped my book to my lap and crossed my legs to cover it and my thighs. My hair made a curtain to my face as I secretly blushed. The bell rang and Jamie linked arms with mine as we made our way to lunch. "Everyone saw Dominic looking at chuuuuu." She said as she poked my side with her other finger. "Nobody carrressss." I said, jabbing my thumb in HER side. I bit my lip. Once we got our lunch, we sat outside. "He changed too much. We talked in second grade. Really good friends. Third grade we were seperated. Fourth, we were in the same class...he ignored me through the whole year. In the fifth grade, he dated Chelsea. The rest is pretty much...well, you saw. He ignored the fact that we were ever friends." I put my legs up and threw grapes in my mouth. Peter and Roy sat down across from us. "Spin the bottle!" Roy yelled. WE both smiled. EVERY lunch period. Peter smiled as the bottle landed on him. "Peter...." Jamie whispered. "No shit Einstein." I said. The bottle circled on the table and finally slowed down, and slowed down, and finally stopped on Jamie. Of course, we never kiss eachother...but Roy has some other ideas. "KISS HER!" Peter made a small smile. "OMG! DID YOU SEE THAT?" Jamie screeched. I gaped and yelled, "You gave her a rapist smile! PERVERT!" Roy and I howled with laughter and smacked the table. Jamie sat their with a disgusted look while Peter kept smiling. -Dominic's P.O.V- From across the table I watched Rachy. Hah, I've been calling her that since second grade! When was the last time I ever called her 'Rachy' right infront of her?.....oh well. she wore shorts....niccceee shorts. I saw her laugh, and I smiled and made a small laugh of my own. I looked down at my food still smiling. "What?" Anthony asked me. I looked up from my food and my smile disappeared. "What were you smiling at...." His voice trailed as he looked back. I followed his eyes to Rachy, Jamie, Roy and Peter. Both of our heads followed Rach as she got up. Her shirt was riding up......but my eyes snapped away from her as soon as Greg turned back to me. His eyebrows were raised. And what was I supposed to say? "....what?" "Who's she?" Greg said as he dropped his hands on the table. "Rach-el" I said, while I cringed at my almost-mistake. "Ya mean, Rachel?" Greg said, confused. "Uhh..ye-" My eyes caught back to Rach. She tied her hair up, but her blue streak fell to the side. Kinda hot.... "PST!" Greg yelled. "GAH!" I accidentally flipped my lunch tray over, but hurried to the right, making the food spill on the bench instead. "Mo fo." I stared at Greg. Greg opened his mouth to speak, but I quickly left. -Rachel's P.O.V- As I rested my cheek on my fist, my attention snapped to the now empty space on the table that Dominic sat at. I looked to the lunch room door and saw Dominic's hands shoved inside his pocket while he walked out. A hot dog waved infront of my face and I snapped back into reality. "Ewuh! Get that freakin wannabe dick away from me!" I slapped the hot dog out of Peter's hand and shuddered as I stood up to go see Dominic. Once I reached the door I saw Dominic at the water fountain. He was behind Marcus who was currently drinking out of it. I clenched my throat as I noticed how dry it was. As soon as Marcus walked away from it I ran to the water. "Wh-what? Hey! HELL no!" I giggled through drinking the water. "Fine, drink Marcus's spit." As soon as I heard him say that, I turned around and took a spit take across my right side of the floor. Dominic burst out laughing and slapped his knee. I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. Our laughs echoed through the hallway. We sat down with our backs pressed against the locker. "So...why are you here?" Dominic stared at me and I bit my lip once we calmed down. "I dunno anymore...." I said as I looked back at him. I smiled. "Why are YOU here?" I raised my eyebrow. Dominic laid his head back to the locker and cleared his throat. I loved that. "Just trying to think." He said quietly. A few seconds later, I didn't know whether to say this or not, but a few MORE seconds later, I did. "Do you want me to leave?" He thought for a second and then looked back at me. "Naw. Actually, you were what I was thinking about."
