We had been hanging out, getting to know each other, and staying as much out of the public eye as we possibly could. That mostly meant making out in the empty art room. Being the president of the art club at our school, he claimed it allowed him unlimited access to the room, something he was more than excited to fill me in about. He was adorable, and I honestly had no idea where my life had been before him. It was a few days later that Josh decided to mix up our new routine.

“Hey, gorgeous.” I turned, a smile on my face as Josh walked up to me during lunch. I had been on my way to sit with Stephanie and the rest of our lunch group when he stopped me.

“Hi, handsome,” I said, a smile already beaming on my face.

Before I realized what he was doing and before I could object, his lips were molding to mine, kissing me like we hadn’t just had a really long lip-to-lip conversation that morning before school. I pressed my hands against his shoulders, smiling against his lips as I kissed him back. We communicated better without words, and unlike with past relationships, I really didn’t mind that much. Heck, I didn’t mind at all. Public displays of affection weren’t so bad when they were done with someone you actually liked.

“Mmm, I really love this part of the day,” he mumbled against my lips before slowly pulling away.

“I love this part of the day, too. You aren’t half bad to suck face with Mister Hayes.”

“Mister Hayes?” His head tilted back in an abrupt laugh. “I really shouldn’t have told you my last name.”

“Eh, I would have found out eventually.”

His fingers laced through mine, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. His eyes were focused on something behind me and an apology flashed in his eyes. Before I could question him, a tap on my shoulder pulled me from my Josh-induced haze.

I turned, a tight smile already on my face. I knew who it was before I even fully turned around.

“Hey Stephanie, lovely day we’re having, isn’t it?” I smiled at her. Her eyes were wide and curious, and I ignored the nervousness of my heart trying to get me to run.

Josh and I were still fresh, and as much as it freaked me out to go public, there wasn’t really a reason to hide our relationship anymore. Jenna was happier than she had ever been. She spent all of her time with Trevor, and as much as I wanted to interfere and confront him again, it wasn’t my place. He made a mistake, it seemed like he had learned from it. I hadn’t heard anymore talk about her since that day in class. Things were looking up, things were finally going okay for her. The only thing I needed to do was be supportive and enjoy my own relationship. If Jenna needed me, she would tell me.

Sure she would, an insecure voice said from somewhere deep in my head.
