We arrive back at school just as the bell ending second period rings. Aiden parks the car before shutting it off.

“You ready for this?” He says facing me. Am I ready for this? I really don’t know if I’m going to be able to keep this up.

“Yea I’m as ready as I will ever be.” Smiling slightly.

He jumps out the car, runs around, and opens my door for me. Always the perfect gentleman. With a goofy smile on his face, he offers me his hand “Let’s go girlfriend!” he says it in the most feminine voice he can manage. Laughing at him, I take his hand while he helps me out of the car. I bump him with my shoulder. “You are such a goof!”

“You love it! And at least I make you laugh.” He does. He can always make me laugh no matter how I’m feeling.

“Yea I do.”

“Come on. Let’s get you to class. We got to make sure I look like the perfect boyfriend.”

All I can do is smile and say “thank you.”

Making our way through the quad to my third period English class, I can hear all the whispers, and I know people are pointing and staring at us.

“Hey I need to stop by my locker to grab my books.”

He looks down at me smiling “Sure thing my love.” I cannot help but laugh aloud which gets more people looking at us in wonderment.

Turning down the corridor were my locker is, I see Madison and the squad heading towards us.

“Great, just what I need right now.”

He squeezes my hand and whispers, “It’s going to be fine Spence.”

“Look it’s the filthy dyke.” Madison says as she stops in front of us. Looking down at our clasped hands, she scowls.

“Madi why don’t yo…” Madison interrupts by grabbing hold of Aiden’s free hand

“Aiden. Baby, what are you doing hanging with that?” God how I want to smack her right now.

“I am not with that Madison I am…” the stupid cunt cuts him off.

“Good. Let’s go then” She punctuates by yanking on his arm trying to pull him in the opposite direction away from me.

We have gained a larger crowd with our loud banter.
