November's P.O.V

After sport, I heard Brittany spreading a rumour saying that my mum and sister killed themselves because they thought I was crazy. When I first heard the rumour, I ran into the girls bathroom and cried in one of the stalls. I'm weak, what can I say? My mum and sister is a sensitive topic for me. 

I know it was my fault that they died that day. I can't help but blame myself, but what Brittany is spreading isn't true. I don't need everyone at school also telling me that it was my fault. I already know.

It took me 20 minutes to calm myself down. I had just decided to skip the rest of school. I couldn't handle these rumours anymore. They were spreading like wildfire. 

I walked outside of the school doors, only to be pulled into someone's chest. It only took me a millisecond to figure out who it was. Trystan. I could hear his voice start to whisper in my ear. He was saying soothing words. I guess he must have heard about the rumours then.

I couldn't contain my emotions anymore. I started crying on his shoulder. I couldn't help but notice that it felt so right, almost natural. He hugged me so tight as if he thought I was going to vanish.

He said "I am so sorry about those stupid rumours. I heard some jocks talking smack about it. I punched them and came to find you. I am really sorry" 

Wow. He did that for me? Doesn't that show he cares? No, it doesn't. Or does it? Should I forgive him and give him one last chance?

He said "Come on, let's go back home and watch a movie or something. School is shit right now"

I just nodded my head. I was still wrapping my head about what I should choose. I couldn't agree more with what he said. All I wanted was to get out of this school.

He realised me from his grip and we started walking towards his car. He started the car and eventually reached his house. I bolted for the front door straight away and walked inside. I crashed on the couch and saw Trystan sit next to me.

He asked "What movie do you wanna watch?"

I said "The Boss" 

I love that movie. It is hilarious and I needed to watch something funny to get me out of this depressed mood.

Trystan sat up from the couch and went to play the DVD. I quickly snugged into the armchair and rested my head. It was very uncomfortable, but there was nowhere else to put my head, so the armchair would have to do.

Trystan turned around to sit back on the couch he noticed where my head was.

He said "That armchair is uncomfortable, you can rest your head on my chest"

He didn't even give me an option before he grabbed my head and moved it on his chest. He was so warm. I suddenly felt very cold. With the little confidence I had, I snaked my arms around his torso. He didn't seem fazed by my movement and he put his arms around my waist and snuggled into my head. Wow. This is a really comfortable position.

After 30 minutes into the movie, I gained some more confidence and said "Trystan, if you make me a promise would you keep it?" 

He replied "Of course" 

I have finally decided to let Trystan explain what happened the other day with Brittany.

I said "Explain to me what happened with you and Brittany. I only want the truth" 

He looked shocked as if he wasn't expecting me to ask him that. 

He responded "The truth is I saw a note on your locker saying that you didn't like me, in fact, you hated me. I was extremely hurt and Brittany walked up to me and kissed me. I didn't stop her because I thought you didn't like me"

I guarantee that Brittany was the one who put that note on my locker. Uhhh! Why can't she leave my life alone!?

I looked up at Trystan and said "I did not put a note on my locker saying I didn't like you, because I would be lying" 

Um... Wow. Did I actually say that?

There were so many emotions in his eyes. Happiness, excitement, relief and determination. 

He said "So let me get this right. You like me?"

It didn't even take me a second to respond before I said "Of course I like you, you idiot. I am pretty sure that was Brittany who put the note on my locker" 

He replied "It was her. I asked her that day and she confessed"

I nodded, I was right! Always trust your gut.

Trystan said "So... what about us?" 

I said "What do you want to happen?"

He had a sudden spark in his eyes and said "I want you to be my girlfriend. I hate how every male looks at you. They need to know that you are taken so I won't have to whoop their asses" 

OMG. I was not expecting that. I was screaming inside. He wants me to be his girlfriend! I don't know, should I? I should just take a chance and see where we end up. At least I'll never have to wonder, what if. 

I said "I would love to be your girlfriend Trystan" 

He immediately lifted my head up and smashed his lips on mine. It was a sweet long kiss. Nothing like the one we shared at the party.

I pulled away and said "I have only been your girlfriend for a minute and I am already loving it" 

He smiled down at me and said "The feeling is mutual is sweetheart" 

He kissed my nose and said "We should go to bed, it's getting late" 

What? It was just 1 pm. Wasn't it? I looked back at the clock and saw the time was 10 o'clock. Wow, time goes by really fast. I didn't even see Ariana walk in. That little bugger, she must have snuck in when she saw us.

We both walked up the stairs and went our separate ways in our rooms. Even though we are now dating, it hasn't been that long. It is too soon to be sleeping in the same bed. 

I hugged Trystan and said "Goodnight"

He kissed my forehead and said "Goodnight my darling"

Butterflies form in my stomach. I was seriously loving this. I walked away from him to go into my room. I went to my bathroom and got dressed in my pj's. I was brushing my hair when I saw Trystan walk up behind me and wrap his arms around my waist. 

He said "I just wanted one last kiss" 

I couldn't help but giggle. He is such a baby. I turned around and gave him a peck on the lips. He looked satisfied and walked out of my room into his.

I crawled into my bed and sighed. Today was a big day, especially emotionally. But I made it through. I just wonder how tomorrow is going to be. 

I started to doze off into sleep when I heard my phone buzz. I looked at my phone and saw a text from unknown contact. I knew straight away that it was from Trystan because of the text. 

'Good night my beautiful girlfriend' 

I replied with 'You too handsome boyfriend ;)' 

He could have probably guessed that I was joking because I put a winking face after the tex. I saved his contact name as 'Boyfriend T;)'. I soon fell asleep with a huge smile on my face thinking about him.
