Adins POV

i was now in class and all the red has flushed from my cheeks and as i began to look around once more i realized that boy who asked if I was okay was in the next row but one seat down. My cheeks began to fill with heat and fluster as i noticed he was trying to not stare at me. "is this really happening" i whispered to myself "no no im crazy". I take a glance at him with enough movement for him to notice and he quickly looked away. The more i looked the more i wanted to stare but i forced myself not to. "he just thinks im cute he doesnt care about who i really am" i say to myself over and over again. "for this next part you must all pick a partner" i hear the teacher say "shoot" i say with tears in my eyes "either ill have to work with someone who doesnt like me or alone". i look down in sadness and i began wimpering then i heard someone call my name "Adin?" i look up jumping back a tiny bit, I-its him!!!. I grab my things pulling it close to me and asked "yes?" He smiles at me and he says "do you want to be my partner? i dont really know many people here and you seem like you could need a friend too im not trying to make fun of you by saying that its just my way of saying that your welcome in my eyes" he holds his hand out as if to ask of my approval but all i do is stare at it with tears in my eyes. "are you okay"? Tears roll down her face realizing this she runs out of the classroom just outside the door "idiot!" she thought of herself "could could i just say nothing". she opens the door so that she could tell him yes but hes standing right there and he doesnt say anything and she says through tears, "i would love to be your partner, whats your name"? He smiles and says "my name is James! nice to meet you fair Adin" He gives her a big hug and she actually manages a smile.

I begin working on the assignment with James i start by looking at his broad shoulders small abs, mustled arms but now big and bulky his stylish brown hair which lays on his head perfectly and his beautiful silver eyes sparckling in the light. soon i found myself thinking off like this and id put my head straight back to buisness i knew i shouldnt give my hopes up, afterall, who would love a girl like me? a girl with short blond hair sort of gresey, small boobs and i dont have a completely toned belly not to mention im as pale as a ghost and my eyes are just a plain green color.

We finished our partner assignment and my next classes flew by, i was heading out to the busses when James was by me "Hey Adin its so nice to see you again today!" "what bus do you ride" i smiled slightly at him trying the best i could to and he could tell. "does life still got you down"? he asked. i nodded without wanting to respond or speak the words. he looked at me with eyes of discontentment". I wondered why he tried to hard but i quckly changed the subject "i ride bus 13" i he smiled like how i had before and said "me too!". we walked side by side together to get on the bus and i saw him start to look over towards me but down so i looked over to. he was staring at my dainty hand. i soon began to stare to in disbelief thoughts rushed in my head "does he want to hold my hand???" "omg is this really happening, i want this i would want im to hold my hand hes so much nicer then other kids if i get hurt then oh well" i slowly begin to bump my hand aganst his regaining his attention to our hands and the bumpped his hand back on mine. we were at our bus now and we stopped he looked me in the eyes and he slowly took his hand in mine i was speachless. he led me into the bus and we both found a seat to sit in next to eachother. i wanted to say something i really did but i didnt know what to sayi just kept looking at him then at our hands then back at him until finally he said "i can stop if you dont want this Adin" i looked at him in shock and i almost cried but it wasnt because i was sad its because i felt like maybe someone finaly wants me. but then i thought to myself that that was foolish. but i said anyway "i do want this...." For the rest of the bus ride we held hands and talked till finally i got home.

i watched as the bus pulled away from my driveway and now my hand felt alone but still warm from James kind hands. for once in my life when I came home from school i was smiling.

Spirit of Lust POV (Rose)

i watched and felt as she moved away from his grip and left a feeling that ive never felt before washed over me the same feeling that she is feeling. I watched as we walked off the bus.

Adins POV

"Wow! I can't believe it!" Adin yells as he walks in her house. Her mom mistakingly hears her and asks "How was school, honey?" Adin yells back "It was fine mom!" Adin enters the kitchen meeting her mother and gives her a hug. Adin then proceeds to walk in her room upstairs and sit there alone and starts thinking about the worst of things that could happen with this boy. "What if he's pretending to like me???" "What if he just wants to make a fool out of me???" "he doesn't love me.. who would?" She begins to cry at this thought and thinks she is doomed to be alone. She stands up and stares at her reflection and stares for some time like she wasn't even staring at herself. "Who is this person I see in my reflection? is this really me?" she cocks her head left and right "my face is so fat... and my belly is jiggly" she lifts her shirt revealing an almost completely flat belly. "disgusting..." she says quietly before hearing her mother call her down for supper. Adin gets some food and slowly picks at it not eating much. "is something wrong?" her mother asks. "No mom everything is great" Adin answers and fake smiles and her mom smiles back at her.

The next morning is here and I'm about to get on the bus I was terrified to go to school today more than I have ever been before. The bus pulls up and I attempt to get on but before I get past the 2nd seat i hard Kacy screaming "ADIN WHY ARE YOU SUCH A WHORE" I pause for a second and I looked at the first seat and just sat down so that I can keep as far away from her as possible and after a little bit of riding on the bus I look around to find James. I spot him near Kacy and her friend Addison. "Oh no..." I think to myself "I guess being with this guy really is over" I turn around and I stare at the seat for a while waiting to arrive at school when I feel someone tap me on the shoulder. I look down for a second not wanting to turn around but I did so anyway and I see James and tears fill my eyes but I do my best to not cry and I say "y-yes?" he looks at me worriedly "are you okay? I'm so sorry about Kacy I tried to tell her to leave you alone but she wouldn't listen to me". I feel the tears almost burst and I say "so she didn't convince you that I'm a slut and that you shouldn't talk to me or do anything with me because I have std? I mean I'm not any of those things and I don't have std but... Kacy says those things to me all the time..." I continue to look down but he lifts my chin and says "even if she did I wouldn't believe her because I like you for you* she looks up at him her eyes tear-filled "you... you do?" He smiles that gorgeous smile and says "yes i do i have for a long time". she stares at the ground in such shock she doesnt even realize its time for her and him to get off the bus together so he grabs her and kisses her cheek and walks her off the bus and into the cafateria.
