The bell rang behind us, letting us know that we were now late for class.

   “ I deserve that Shane, I shouldn’t have treated you like that.”

Again with a blank stare I looked at her.  She looked behind me then took my hand, and led me down the hall.  I followed her out the door and to her truck.

  She opened the passenger door for me, then quickly ran to her side and jumped in.

It wasn’t until we pulled out of the school’s parking lot that she became to explain herself.

  “What I did to you was wrong, and it was horrible. You have been the nicest person to me since I got here and I just use you to cure my own curiosity. But I relies Shane, while you were gone that I missed you. And I wanted so badly to take back my actions and what I said to you on Monday.”

   We were now at a park, alone in the middle of the day.  I lean against the door and stared out the window. She was waiting for me to respond.

But I had nothing to say to her. 

  Then rested her head on her arms.

  “Would it make a difence, if I said sorry?” She said softly in my ear.

I looked up from the window then turn to look at her, she moved off of my shoulders and placed her hands in her lap, she sat on her knees looking at me waiting for my answer.

    “I thought for once, I could trust someone.” I began. “I wanted to show you a different side of me that no one has seen before.” I looked down and stared to play with the hole in my jeans knee. “When you kissed me I felt something that hadn’t felt with anyone else, but I was foolish and let my guard down.” I looked up at her, she shifted, then reached across my lap to her glove box, she quickly opened it and pulled a piece of paper out.

  In her hands she held the flower I had for her. The edges were torn and brown from the floor where I left it.

 “ After I went to class, I left 5 minus into to come and find you, to say I was sorry. And then I found this next to my locker.” She stuck the flower in my sling. “I knew that you made it for me Shane, I was crushed when I found it on the ground.”  She came closer to me again. “Shane if I were to have found you in that hallway I would have told you that the boy you saw me kiss wasn’t my boyfriend, that I lied to you so I wouldn’t hurt you anymore then I was going to. I didn’t want to use you as an experiment, but Shane-“

  Her hands were trembling as she placed them in mine.

   “ I know that I want you.”

Her kiss sent a shock in my veins, that lead to the bruises and the cracks. And healed them in an instance
