Tight Strings: Rules Were Made To Be Broken (COMPLETED)

Next day...

It was well past the lunch hour and the times before that didn't really suit my category since many teachers were not in and the whole previous meeting issue seemed to surface to the next day.

Others thought it the best opportunity to call it a day off and hurried home even before lunch hour. Others rushed out the instant the lunch bell rang and yet others still remained either chattering or in the library.

I was one of them, deeply absorbed in my biology book as I let time tick by.

My father wasn't going to tolerate a missing one percent so I had better study the complicated species with very odd names.

"Oh. Riley." I heard that so familiar tauting voice say from behind and I glanced up only to meet the imperious green eyes of Peter.

I gave him a soft smile as he sat down on the empty seat beside me with a large book in his hands.

"Thought you left with Ash." He whispered as he placed the book on the table.

"Ash left?" I asked in a bit of shock. Wondering why on earth he wouldn't warn me the least that I had to go looking for a bus on my own.

"A while ago with Rosetta and Opera." He said as he opened his book to which I was certain was about the physics. "He said he wasn't going to be long."

"He told you that?" I asked in a whisper and he nodded as he smiled softly at me.

"Told me not to tell you but I knew you'd find out." He said then frowned a bit. "Are you two dating?"

"No." I shook my head. "We're not the slightest."

"Oh good," he chuckled lowly as he bit his lower lip. "I thought you two were and that I was telling on him."

"Is it true he's... A virgin?" I asked out of the blue and even surprised myself for it.

".... Why would you even think he is?" He chuckled a bit as he glanced from me to the book. "He's a man whore."

"He told me-"

"Ash always lies." He deadpanned before staring at me with pity. "He was probably trying to get you to like him."

"So who's he slept with?" I asked just to clear the topic rather than just believe him.

"Is ex. I heard. The two girls he is with. He's always with them when he gets the chance and probably some girl that left some time back." He explained and I looked from him to the book in front of me. "You... Like him?"

"I was just curious." I said as I flipped the current page to a new one.

"Who do you like?" He asked and I felt a blush rush up my cheeks but didn't answer. "... Okay. Though, I would wish it was me." With that, I shot him a curious stare.

"Why?" I asked and he bit on his lower lip, looking like a shy child trying to give his love a kiss on the cheek.

"You're smart, pretty, funny, always weird." He chuckled and I stared at him, still feeling the dangerous pulse in the veins. "Plus I'm always free to talk around you."

I didn't want to admit my feeling yet because he didn't admit his for me. He just assumed that it would be good if I liked him.

"So, I was thinking if we could go watch a movie this Friday." He offered and I frowned as I glanced up at him.

"With Sarah?" I asked and he chuckled as he shook his head in denial.

"Just me and you." He smiled cheekily as he glanced down at his book and began to draw invisible circles on it. "Call it a date if you may."
