Fall For You ~Muke Clemmings~

Chapter 9

I surprisingly did not feel bad for being so rude to Michael. I should. I am becoming somewhat of an asshole. I should take a step back and allow karma to come in instead of lashing out myself. I don't approve of my own actions.

I wish that I could rewind my actions from the past few days. I was going to sink down to Michael's level and show the video, and make everyone laugh at him. Treat him like he and his friends treat me. I took a physical stance, as well. That is something I never imagined myself doing.

I walk back into school the next day, knowing that Ashton, Calum, and Michael were going to seek me out at a time. There wasn't much of a point in hiding from them, I know that they would find me sometime throughout the day. The longer I hide from them; the more anger will build up. The worse the beating will be.

I go up the stairs, hurrying to my first class. As I get to the top of the stairs and turn down a hallway I see Michael standing alone, leaning up against the wall. I am about to turn around the other way but he calls my name. Is he taking this one alone? Does he know that I do not want to fight back? He walks over to me, and I am just frozen in place. "Follow me." He says as he stands right in front of me. I decided to obey what he wanted me to do. I shouldn't fight against it, I am not going to run. I guess this should be in replacement of karma.

He goes all the way down the hallway, past the library to the back stairwell. Nobody ever goes up and down these stairs unless it is during class and they're coming to go to the bathroom from the foreign language classrooms that were outside in a portable.

We go down the stairs and he stops at the bottom. I slowly follow him. He raises his arm and thinking that I was going to be hit, I flinch. I am instead pinned up against the wall. He is breathing heavily, I am not sure if it was in anger or not.

Instead he leans in. I want to react, he might be recording this. I start to struggle but his lips brush against mine. "I think I like you a little bit." He whispers.

"No, you don't. Let me leave." I whisper back, our lips still hardly touching.

"Give me a chance, Luke. I promise I won't tell anyone." He tells me.

Before I respond, he gives more pressure into the kiss. It last about five seconds before he pulls away. "I'll call you later, I want to hang out after school." He says to me and walks away.

My heart is beating fast. I had imagined my first kiss to be on a date or something, but despite the endless amount of dreams I had about this moment; it was more perfect than I could have imagined. I know that sounds so corny, but I was happy. I think people make a huge deal out of their first kiss, and always want it to be perfect. I think as long as you like the person, it is perfect no matter what.

I hear someone coming down the stairs and I see Calum and Ashton coming down.

I want to run, but before I could they stand in front of me. I look around frantically. Michael lied to me. He lied.

"I heard what you did to Michael yesterday." Calum says to me.

"You think you can be violent towards Michael?" Ashton asks me rhetorically.

I just back up as much as I could, and they draw towards me. "You guys do worse to me." I tell them, not even trying to act confident. There was not much of a point in attempting to reason with them. They like to be this way, and it is a sad life that they are leading.

Calum throws the first punch.
