Connor met Autumn and his friends for lunch still vexed. They chose not to ask eating before they went out side for a cigarette he stood smoking angrily. Before the bell went he took Autumns hand pulling her with him. “Wowh Con what’s the rush. You left Dan behind.”
“He can catch up.” He pulled her close. He pressed his lips on hers kissing her hungrily with tongue. He moved away.
“What was all that about Con?”
“Your mine Autumn he’s not having you.”
“Who?”
“Stenton.”
“What’s going on Con?”
“I promise I won’t ever get locked up.”
“Whats brought this on?”
“Something that Stenton said.’
“Why what did he say?’
“Gee Con what’s the rush?” Daniel asked, out of breath.
“Nought.”
“You has a lesson with Stenton right?”
“How did you guess?”
“Your on fire Con. We’ve been calling you from like ten minutes. What did he say?”
“Plenty.”
“Come on, we best get to registration.”
“The guys said they’d meet us by the gates.”
“Sure.”
He leaned over to Autumn. “I promise I’ll never leave you.” He moved away and they all walked away to registration then into their last two lessons.
Autumn looking out of the window wondering what the hell was wrong with Con she’d never seen him like that before his eyes scared her so cold, so hollow, so glazed. “You still with us Miss. Cleveland?”
“Yeah.”
The bell rang for end of lesson and the end of another day. She walked out of school meeting Connor and the others. He dropped his arm over her before they all walked away. Saying their goodbyes. “I’ll see you two tomorrow.”
“Sure Dan, laterz.”
“Yeah, bye Dan.”
Daniel walked away. Connor looked at Autumn.
“You okay Con, just today you didn’t seem your normal self.”
“I’m sorry Autumn we all know Stenton. He just knows how to push it and how to keep pushing it to make you snap.”
“I can handle him, Con.”
“Maybe, but I’d like to take care of you.”
“I can take care of myself, Con.”
“I know.” He pulled her close. “I hope we can be more than what we are now. I know your not ready for anything heavy but in time you might be.’ He leaned forward pressing his lips on her kissing her hungrily with tongue. He moved away. ’I’ll meet you here tomorrow at three okay.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll see you later, babe.”
“Yeah later, Con.”
He walked away as she looked over the lake she hoped they could be friends without any complications. She knew how he felt and what he wanted, but could she ever give it to him?
