(RORY’S POV)

Never have I ever been so disappointed about resuming school after a short public holiday. A part of me I never thought I would get to see.

And it was alm thanks to Todd O’Connor. He was the reason why i could not think straight for some minutes without zoning out and landing in to a bowl of thoughts.

He was the reason why now,on Monday morning’s first class, I sat in class with a silly, goofy grin on my face lost in my thoughts instead of paying attention and correcting my teachers.

The reason why during my turning session eith Amanda I was busy with a large grin on my face instead of paying attention to the book between us.

Only when I felt the slight tip of a pen that poked my skin and caused a little pain.

“Ow!” I said rubbing the sore spot on my arm as I turned my nose up at Amanda.

“I’m very sorry about that Rory,” she said with a genuinely apologetic smile that had a touch of guilt on it. “But I tried to call your attention a lot of times and you seemed lost.”

  • When Best Friends Kiss   140 - Would Love To

    (RORY’S POV)I went back to my room, deciding to change into something a little more comfortable—but still cute—before he arrived.I settled on a pair of soft jeans and a simple gray T-shirt, and then I spent an embarrassing amount of time just looking at myself in the mirror. I ran a hand through my hair, checked my reflection from every angle, and practiced a smile, as if I was getting ready for a first date. Which, in a way, I supposed I was. This was the first time Todd and I were going to be together as something more than friends. The thought sent another wave of butterflies through my stomach.The sound of a car engine pulling into the driveway broke my trance. I went to the window and saw his black sedan, the one I knew so well, parked just outside. My breath hitched. He got out of the car, and for a moment, he just stood there, looking at my house. He ran a hand through his dark hair, and then, as if sensing my gaze, he looked up at my window. Our eyes met, and a slow, breath

    The drive back to my house was quiet, but it was a comfortable silence, a silence filled with unspoken promises and shared understanding. My hand was in his again, his thumb gently stroking the back of my hand. The streets were no longer dark and menacing; they were just streets, and the houses, once shadowy figures, were now just houses, their windows catching the morning light. The world had gone back to normal, but I knew, with an unshakable certainty, that nothing would ever be the same for me.We pulled into my driveway, and he turned off the engine, the sudden silence a stark contrast to the low rumble of the car. He turned to me, his hand still holding mine."Rory," he started, his voice a little hesitant. "About last night...""Don't," I said, my voice soft but firm. "Please don't."He looked at me, his gaze searching. "Don't what? Don't apologize? Don't tell you how much you mean to me? Don't tell you that I've been in love with you for a long time?"My breath caught in my th

    (RORY’S POV)The world was still a blur, a whirlwind of fear and relief. Todd’s lips on mine had been a jolt, a sudden, all-consuming fire that had chased away the icy panic. The kiss was a silent promise, a declaration of something fierce and protective, and it had left me breathless and undone. When he pulled away, the silence was heavy with unspoken words, but his hand found mine, and he gave it a gentle squeeze.“Come on,” he said, his voice soft, a stark contrast to the ferocity I had seen in his eyes just moments before. “Let me make it up to you.”I didn’t argue. I didn’t have to. The look on his face, the quiet intensity in his gaze, told me that he needed this as much as I did. He led me back to my house, grabbed a picnic blanket and some snacks I had prepped for a study session, and then we were in his car, driving away from the house and the echoes of the night’s terror. The streets were still quiet, the moon hanging high in the inky sky like a silver coin. I watched the wo

  • When Best Friends Kiss   137 - Vengeance!

    ConsequencesJohn’s eyes were wide with a mix of shock and pure terror. The arrogance was gone, replaced by the raw, ugly fear I’d wanted to see. I watched as his face contorted with rage, the thin stream of blood from his nose a crimson stain against his pale skin. He looked at me, his eyes wide with a mix of shock and pure terror. I saw the fear, and a wave of grim satisfaction washed over me. This was what I had wanted. This was what he deserved. I wanted him to feel the same fear Rory had felt.I advanced on him, and he stumbled back, his hands held up in a weak, defensive posture. “Get away from me, man!” he pleaded.I laughed, a harsh, guttural sound. “No, John. Not yet. You’re going to listen to me.” I grabbed the front of his jersey, my fingers twisting the fabric. “You’re going to leave Rory alone. You’re not going to talk to her. You’re not going to look at her. You’re going to stay away from her, and you’re going to apologize.”“I’m not apologizing to that…” he started, but

    (TODD’S POV)The cool night air was a stark contrast to the burning rage that had just consumed me. John’s bruised face was a testament to the fire I had unleashed, but the grim satisfaction I felt was already fading, replaced by the heavy weight of what I had done. I let go of his collar, his stunned, terrified expression etched in my mind, and stumbled back. He scrambled to his feet, a hand pressed to his bleeding nose, and without a single word, he took off, disappearing into the shadows of the locker rooms.I stood there for a long moment, the adrenaline slowly ebbing away, leaving me shaky and exhausted. My knuckles throbbed, a dull ache that I knew would turn into a nasty bruise by morning. I looked down at my hands, at the evidence of my rage, and a wave of regret washed over me. This wasn’t me. I wasn’t a fighter. I was the quiet, nerdy guy who kept to himself. But tonight, I had been someone else. Tonight, I had been Rory’s protector.The thought of her brought me back to re
