promise you that.”

“Well, it’s a load of crap that you got to date and I didn't. Now we’re going to college together. Are you going to keep cockblocking me?” A few people turn to look at us.

“Zoey and Reid, get in the classroom now,” Mr. Hope says. We’re standing outside the door. The bell is about to ring. I duck in, freeing myself from Reid to enter the classroom. I head toward my regular seat. Reid follows me.

“Switch with me, Zack,” Reid says to him. Our seats aren't assigned, but people tend to sit in the same place every day.

“Yep” is all Zack says, and he’s out of his seat, letting Reid sit down in his spot.

“Does everyone do what you say?” I shake my head at him.

“Not you,” he says with a smirk. The smirk playing on his lips makes me think he likes that about me. That I don’t just bend to his every whim. The bell rings before either one of us can say anything.

The teacher starts talking, and of course Reid starts texting me.

Reid: In all fairness you cockblocked me too.

I look over at him and glare. How could I have possibly cockblocked him? He leans back in his chair and openly stares at me. This is freaking nuts. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t keep myself from asking him how he came up with the idea that I somehow cockblocked him.

Me: How did I cockblock you?

Reid: Because you’ve made my cock only want you.

Shocked by his response, I drop my phone. It hits my desk, making a loud thud before it slides off and heads for the floor. Reid catches it easily. I look up to see everyone staring at me.

“Sorry.”

Mr. Hope gives me a nod and gets back to his lecture. Reid reaches over and sets my phone down on my desk. Is this what it’s like to be in shock? I can’t even begin to process what he texted me. I must have misunderstood him. That has to be it. Or maybe I’m going crazy.

Me: I know you dated Megan.

Over the years I’ve heard the small whispers about who Reid was dating. Some of the girls said he didn't date high school girls. That he was more into the college type. It all contradicted itself so I never knew what was true. I sure as hell never witnessed him walking down the hallways with his arm wrapped around a girl like he did to me today.

Reid: Nope.

His text back is instant. I don’t know what to say to that except I’m not sure I believe him. That said, I’ve never seen him around with other girls. I bite my lip, wanting this day to be over. Thinking about all of this is overwhelming. I need to talk to Willow before I lose my mind. Right now my every thought is wrapped up with Reid and the jealousy I feel over him being with someone besides me.

Me: If you’re really trying to be my friend again, you can’t lie to me about things.

Reid: I already told you. I don’t want to be your friend.

I put my phone away and try to pay attention to Mr. Hope. When the bell rings, everyone jumps up. I do the same but don’t get far because Reid is blocking my way. He grabs me by the hips, pulling me into him. His mouth drops down onto mine as he steals a quick kiss from me.

“I’m not lying to you. Your mouth is the only mouth that’s been on mine.” He steps to the side and lets me get past him, but I don’t get far before he wraps his arm around me. Everyone is giving us looks. I go back to my state of shock as I let him lead me toward the cafeteria.

“You want fries today?” Reid asks. I’m not a giant fan of the food here, but the fries are good. I often only get a plate full of them for my lunch. Of course Reid knows this, again proving his point that he has been watching me.

“I’ll get the food while you snag us a table.” He drops his arm from around me but not before he presses his mouth against mine again. I hear a few gasps from the people around us, but as quick as his mouth is on me, it’s gone. He gives me a little smirk before he wanders off to get our lunch.

It’s starting to get irritating and not
