Flaws

There he was. His shoulders hunched over, hands in fist and his strong jaw clenched in frustration. She approached cautiously as if she was approaching a strange new creature. "Joe, are you okay?"
He turned around. He had been crying. The proud football player, and one of the hottest guys at school had cried. She hadn't meant to but her jaw dropped in utter surprise. "don't you dare tell ANYONE about this."
She looked at him more serious now. "what happened with you and Kelly? I didn't even know you two were dating."
"Ha me and Kelly. It's funny cause she and I were never a thing, but it still feels like we were. I never know with her. I think it's that damn Drake guy. I know the guys in love with her. Everyone knows." He had relaxed a bit. His hands now hung at his sides and he stood a little straighter. "Jodie right? Well I don't know why I asked that. I've seen you around. We had several classes together last year. But anyways, you wanna come to my party tonight? I promise I won't bite. "
He was Joe again but this time as Joe flirted, it was with her and she felt like everything was finally happening.

Zachary sat at the back of the room observing everyone. It was hard to keep up with everyone as they darted here then there trying as they attempted to find one another and figure out which of their friends had showed up. This wasn't usually zachary's usual scene but he had been invited and he had nothing else to do so why not.
He noticed one thing in particular. Joe seemed to hover around Jodie quite a bit. Sure Joe would flirt here and there but he was always around this one girl. She was pretty but it wasn't common for Joe to mix with other crowds. Jodie was an artist and damn good at it. Her natural talent had won her several art scholarships. But there was definitely something there. He was sure anybody that saw the two could tell.
And Adenae. She was with James. They had been inseparable lately. It was more James than anything else. Before Adenae, James was usually spending the night but after the two had gotten together, James was stick to her like glue. He texted a lot and they talked in class quite a bit but they didn't hang out as often.
Zachary stood up. He made a bee line for the kitchen. He chose a light beer of course. All he ever needed or wanted was a buzz. It never seemed to impair his driving abilities, or at least he didn't think so since he hadn't been arrested yet.

Joe led Jodie by the hand. They had ended up in what she had guessed was his bedroom. It was nice. Blue walls and hardwood floors. Trophies, plaques and ribbons were hung on the walls and placed neatly on shelves. Clothes were scattered here and there and the desk in the corner was collecting dust but the room was mostly clean compared to what she has imagined what it would look like. She hadn't even begun to move her mind to think of what to say before Joe had his large hands around her waist. He pulled her to him and slowly moved his face towards her. His lips seemed to hover before he place them on hers. The kiss was sweet and gentle. He kissed he like this several times before he slipped his tongue into her mouth. This was new to her but she caught on quick. She liked the taste of him. She could feel him slowly walk them both back, to where she presumed was the bed. As he laid her down he pulled his shirt off exposing his extremely sculpted abs. He had begun to pull her clothes off, and as she lay there with nothing, she saw a smile form on his lips. "You're beautiful."
