5 Chapter 5. Something to Live For

*Stefan's POV*

I woke up to the teacher shaking me telling me my detention was over. I stare around groggily noticing Andrew isn't there anymore. Memories of what happened before I passed out from relaxation started resurfacing in my mind and I blushed in embarrassment as I recall him running his hands through my hair. I put my head down out of the habit of hiding my face. I look down and see my permission slip. I bring my head up and see that some of the blank spaces are filled in. I stare in confusion as I read over the slip again.

As I look everything is filled out with Andrews's name in the partner section. Andrew Lin-Shi Shin was his full name. I thought it sounded incredibly hot. But I really couldn't focus on that at the moment when I noticed a note on the desk in Andrew's handwriting I assumed. The note read:

Hey, Stefan while you were asleep I noticed the slip of paper on your desk and decided it might be fun to hang with you on the trip. I mean I hope you agree because I didn't consult you first.

If you agree then around next week I will send the money for me to go on the trip to you. My phone number is below and I kinda already have yours (definitely didn't take it from the slip of paper). I hope your willing to go with me and hangout. So yeah um.... text me or whatever.

P.S you look cute when you sleep

My head just about exploded from the last comment considering all of this was too much information, to begin with. 

Let's break this down. He wants to go on the trip with me to a cabin that only has one queen size bed in it. He basically stole my number and gave me his. He told me I looked cute when I sleep. Basically I just had a dream come true and I didn't even see it happen.

I sit there for a moment internally screaming and hoping this was not some joke because if it was it was just plain cruel. I actually have a chance with him. A chance to make him mine and... and to be happy. The thought made me sad. How I don't fight for my happiness because happiness is a choice and I feel bad that I can't make myself happy and need someone to do that for me. But for once I feel I have something to live for. Something to look forward too. Something I can count on not changing.

I'm so happy. I leave detention before the third bell rings and I make it to Math class. For the most part of the day, all I did was think about him. Andrew. I didn't see him much of the day because we had very few classes together. But towards the end of the day, I saw him walking out to his vehicle so I decided to go thank him.

"Hey, Andrew wait up!" I shouted from the parking lot. He turned around a  bit surprised to see me, but smiled and waited for me to catch up to him. "What's up Stefan," he asks.  "oh... Nothing much just wanted to say thank you." "Thank you for what exactly " he replies." well, thank you for deciding to come with me on the field trip and also for um... helping me get some sleep." I quietly say the last part, but he heard me and he just gave me a dazzling smile. "your welcome, and since your here I'm assuming your going to say yes to going with me on the trip?" he questions. "Of course it would be nice to get to know you." "The feeling is mutual" he replies. We then sink into an uncomfortable silence as we stand there awkwardly. "I should get going wouldn't want to catch a cold," I say awkwardly and turn to go. 

He suddenly grabs my arm, pulls me close, and whispers into my ear. "You know if you ever have trouble sleeping you can just call or text me for someone to talk too." His voice was resonating throughout my head and I could feel his breath on my ear. Even though i knew that comment held no sexual intent, it was said with just as much desire. I heavily blushed and replied with quiet okay. He pulled away after a second, but not before running his hand through my hair. Making me shudder. He pulls away fully with a sly grin and says see you tomorrow before returning and heading to his Range Rover. 

I walk over to my car still slightly stunned. I notice Andrew passing in his car and shouted to him. "Nice car Drew!" he looked slightly annoyed at the nickname. But then he started to grin and replied, "Not too bad yourself Reed!" Then he drove away and for once I couldn't wait for school tomorrow. For now, however, I have to go home to a drunk mother and a quiet house that lost its laughter.
