*Axle's POV*At lunch Tuesday, I sit down and almost immediately Ethan says, “So have you heard about Emmett and Six?” My head snaps up.“What about them?”“I heard from Liz who heard from someone on the football team that he asked her out and she said yes.” I consider momentarily that it could be a rumour. But why does it matter? I am trying to convince myself that I don’t care when Jameson says, “Bro, you’re gonna break a tooth if you keep clenching your jaw like that. If you care this much just go talk to her.”“I don’t care,” I say as I glare at him.“Who are you trying to convince? Us or you?” 

*Six's POV*After I leave Theo on thursday morning, I’m pretty emotionally drained and I’m thankful that my day is rather uneventful. On Friday during chemistry, Emmett confirms our date and I tell him I’ll meet him at his house and 5 so that we can go together. He had offered to come pick me up at mine but I was, quite frankly, embarrassed about my living situation. Axle has been acting like nothing happened between us, and I’m not quite sure what to make of it. I decide for now that ignorance is bliss. After school Friday, I stop in at Shaunice’s to say hi before I go get ready. What does one wear to a dinner date with an affluent football player? I settle on a baby pink tank top tucked into a pleated black skirt and thro

*Axle's POV*About 5 minutes later, the Principal comes out and calls me in. When he notices Six following me, he says, “Miss Keller, this is a private meeting.”“I have some important information regarding the situation that I think you need to hear, so I would like to accompany Axle if that’s okay with you.”He looks between us briefly and then just nods. I suddenly find myself glad she stayed. When we go in Six starts by explaining the whole situation, and at the end, Mr. Collins says, “Well, it does seem as though your intentions were good, however, I cannot condone that kind of violence. I’m still going to have to suspend you, but just for the remainder of the week. You can come back on Monday. And as for you, Miss Keller, it seems like you’ve had quite the stress

*Axle's POV*I find myself strangely excited to go to school Monday and I know it 100% has to do with Six. Ihave literally not been able to think of anything else since we fucked Saturday. I get to schoolearly and wait for her car to pull up in the parking lot. When I see it, I smile and walk over.“Hi,” she says.I can tell she’s surprised when I throw my arm around her shoulder. This behaviour is very uncharacteristic for me. Usually after I’ve fucked a girl I ignore her until she leaves me alone. But Six is different and she always has been. She’s special.I walk her to her locker and then with her to calculus. When we finish in that class, I walk her to her next one and kiss her in the hallway before I walk away. I pick her up from Chemistry and we walk into the cafeteria together. We get a lot of looks but I don’t give a fuck.Cam, Ethan, Jameson and I squeeze in at a table with Six, Cleo, Lexi,

When I walk Six out, I head into the kitchen to make some coffee. I don’t think anybody else is home since I never heard Jameson come in last night and my parents are out of town. As I’m sitting in the living room playing video games, Jameson comes in with Ethan and Cam in tow. “Oh good, you’re up. I didn’t see Six’s car here, she leave already?” I nod.“Alright, so I was thinking since we have the house to ourselves all weekend, we order some pizzas, drink a bunch of beers and get super high. Thoughts?”“First thought: We don’t have any more weed,” I say.“Alright I’ll call TJ then and we’ll go get some.” TJ goes to WestSide and is our usual hook up for weed. His stuff
