  My Monday morning started off with Dallas pestering me which I wasn't sure if I should consider a surprise or not at this point. I was standing by some lockers with Orion, having a pleasant conversation when Dallas came over.
      &quot;Ah, if it isn't my little princess!&quot; He chimed cheerfully as he came over and swung an arm around my shoulder.
      &quot;Nu-uh,&quot; I quickly shoo his arm off me and took a step away from him, closer to Orion. &quot;Boundaries.&quot;
      &quot;What boundaries?&quot; Dallas asked innocently, feigning a clueless tone. &quot;We slept together, I don't think boundaries exist between us anymore.&quot;
      My jaw dropped when he said that. I knew he was a little rat but that was not expected. I was even more speechless and stunned when I saw how nonchalantly he said that, a smirk laying on his lips.
      &quot;What?&quot; Orion mustered, seemin

  Preslie was going on all morning about the ball since it was just in a week. I wasn't surprised to hear her yapping off about it but eventually I was tired and irritated of talking about how she wanted to curl her hair so I left.
      In our school, on the third floor there was a room at the end of the hall that had these massive windows that went up to the roof and overlooked the whole entire football field, parking lot and even further. No students were allowed in there unless it was for a necessary reason but me being me, I somehow had a key. Not that I needed one because picking locks was a talent I had.
      I was having a weird few days ever since that harsh conversation I had with River so I was never really in the mood to talk to people lately. I was constantly finding myself going back and thinking through River's words over and over again.
      I was leaning against the ba

  I woke up the next morning with a headache starting to form as soon as I became conscious. I licked my chapped lips as I slowly opened my eyes, taking my time to let them adjust to the sunlight.
      &quot;Hell,&quot; I muttered, loudly groaning. &quot;Dallas! Get off me!&quot; I screeched as I threw his arm off of my body. I sat up and realized that I must've fallen asleep in Dallas's room last night.
      Dallas stirred a bit, a faint incomprehensible mumble coming from him but he didn't wake up.
      I groaned extra loudly once again and then started annoyingly pushing Dallas's shoulder.
      &quot;Stop,&quot; he mumbled, turning so his face was no longer shoved in his pillow. He unconsciously licked his lips. His features were soft, his lips agape the slightest bit, his chest was heaving up and down and his hair was a mess.
