The Forbidden Fruit

“We’re talking after school.” Derrick pulled me aside after the bell rang.
I quickly nodded and left the room. Rushing out into the hallway traffic, I zipped and zagged through-out the people talking with their friends. Shane caught my attention, and I waved, but ducked into my History class.

“I don’t think we can be together.”
“Uh, okay?” I asked, leaning against the wall in confusion.
“Well, I mean, I would love to be with you.” Derrick said, “But Shane knows.”
“He wont tell. I promise.”
“I just can’t risk it.”
“Okay.” I nodded.
“You’re not… hurt?” He asked.
“Uh, nope.” I shook my head.
“Can I ask why?”
“I knew this was coming. And yesterday I was going to say we shouldn’t be together.”
“Um?” His head jerked back, “This was unexpected.”
I pushed myself off of the wall and walked over to him, “I’ll call you when I graduate, okay?”
He stood still, as if in shock. I smiled and pushed myself up on my tip toes. I kissed his cheek, lingering there more a bit longer than necessary. When I pulled away, my eyes fluttered opened and I smiled.
“I’ll be waiting.” He said quietly, “See you Monday.”
“Bye Mr. Ward.”

So, I know, it's short and sudden.But, maybe POSSIBLY, there would be a sequel.
I wrote a one-shot, I'd love it if you'd read it.
I'll start a new story soon.
