~Clementine's POV~

"Okay I need my note book, m-"

My train of thought crashed. It was disrupted by warm hands.

"Clem."

"No."

"I want to talk."

"I'd rather not." I pulled my way out of his grasp. I got ready after I had collected my things needed.

What I really needed was to collect my mind.

There's a knock at the door. I open to see David standing.

"Hey." I smile.

"Hey." He replies.

"So, what do you need?"I ask.

"Thought I could walk you to class."

"Aww, are you trying to be an amateur boyfriend?" I snicker.

"Boyfriend?" Ashton interrupts.

Taking back my words was too late, the choice of words chosen were a mistake.

"Um, David, sure. Let me just get my mind together, I-I mean crap, books! Books together!" I correct and do one of those finger points.

He raises an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I'll be back." I close the door.

"Boyfriend?"

"No." I pull on my vans.

"So he's my replacement? It's official."

"I have to go." I felt my cheeks tinge red. I hurry out the door.

"Anyway." I pull my hair behind my ears.

What I do next is childish. But the child inside was bring in me.

"Beat you down the stairs." I blurt out smiling.

"Clem." He stops me half way.

He grabs me by the waist and pushes me against a wall. I drop my books. I swear this move has happened one too many times.

He cups my face.

"David."

"Am I yours?" He looks at me intensely.

I'm silent.

He loosens his grasp.

"Yes." I pull him back. He gets close, I feel his breath on my neck.

"Good." He whispers sending a chill down my spine.

He pulls away.

"Looks like you dropped this." He picks up my books that had fallen.

"Shut up, I only dropped them because of what you did." I laugh.

"You liked it."

"Okay, if it donates more to your ego, fine."

"You were trembling again."

Darn. Didn't realize I had been doing it, though it isn't a command I can make go on demand.

"As if."

"I could show you again." He chuckles.

I stare at him coldly.

"Message sent, message received." He mumbles.

"I could do it to you." I mutter.

"Sure."

"I could." I readjust my books.

"Too skilled for you."

I throw my books on the ground.
