'Mark just kissed me, he kissed me...why am I so happy again...I don't even care.' After another couple of seconds he moves backwards, our lips parting. Then he looks at me for a bit, lets out a smirk and leaves. In all this time I couldn't even move, truth be told it was surprising I was still breathing. After a couple of minutes I finally regain my compostur and go inside. My head was still spinning, my heart still beating and the sensation was still on my lips. 'He kissed me.' I think to myself one more time before getting ready to sleep.
In the morning I wake up at 6:30 and start preparing myself for school. I also take Mark's clothes that were left here and I washed last night. I somehow managed to calm down but when I get out the door my compostur vanishes.
-"Morning, Naty." Mark says leaning against the wall in front of the door. 'Wha...'
-"What are you doing here?" I ask flustered.
-"Well I thought that it would be suspicious for me to give you this at school so I came here." He says reaching to hand me a paper bag in which I can tell the clothes I lent him are.
-"Oh thanks." I say shyly. 'Why am I acting like this?'
-"You did say you'll kill me if anyone finds out after all." He says smiling. 'He's acting like nothing happened. I guess I should try to do the same.'
-"I guess I did, here are yours by the way." I say mechanically.
-"Thanks...did you wash them?"
-"Yes."
-"Thanks, so should we get going?" Mark asks.
-"We? Going...where?" I ask confused although I know the answer.
-"To school, of course." 'I thought so.'
-"Why do I have to go with you?"
-"Oh come on, what's with the attitude?" He says in a childish tone.
-"What are you talking about?"
-"So you really can only be kind when helping someone...just like she said." Mark said softly.
-"You said something like that yesterday too, just like what, said by who?" I ask annoyed.
-"It doesn't matter."
-"Mark, you already owe me a lot so how about talking." I say with a serious look.
-"Fine! One of your classmates told me it is in your nature to help others. That's all."
-"I see...that could have only been Samantha." I say mostly to myself.
After that we get going and luckily we didn't meet with Jade on the way. Mark tried making some conversation but I mostly ignored it. 'I'm just acting normal, his doing the same thing. And to think his doing it after he kissed me.'
The day went awful, Mark came bother me every single break, even kids from other classes were getting suspicious. Samantha also came to interrogate me and also ask about when to do the project. In the end we decided to do it this Saturday in the afternoon.
'Since today there will the a teachers' council we get to leave two hours early, which would be awesome if...'
-"Hey, Nary, wanna hang out since school ended earlier?" Mark asks. '...this guy hadn't showed up.' He grabs my hand and drags me after him.
-"Hey, I don't remember agreeing to this." I say a little mad.
-"Come on, don't be like that. I'll buy you anything you want as a 'thank you' for everything." He says smiling.
-"...Fine...but you'll still owe me."
-"Fine but if it's like that then I get the right to call this a 'date'." As he said that all I could do was feel embarrassed. 'I can't even refuse...Why am I this weak against him?'
We started walking a little around and then he took me to a park near my place, 'Probably so I'll be close to my work place.' We set down on a bench and started talking about some trivial matter like school and stuff. Then he went to buy some ice cream and just to be mean I asked for the most expensive one, although I have no idea what it was and then we started eating.
-"Hey, Naty, you have some ice cream on your face." Mark said pointing at my cheek and then brushing it against it. "See." He continued as he showed me the ice cream on his finger and then licked it.
-"Could have gotten it myself." I say turning a little red from the embarrassment.
-"Don't be like that, hmm... this is actually really good, let me take a bite." He says as he comes closer and bites a piece of my ice cream. 'Wha...'
-"Hey, I thought that was you. What's up Mark." I guy says as he approaches us, behind him were a group of about eight people.
-"Hey, Jake." Mark says not so happy about seeing him.
-"You know I was actually wondering what you were doing. You haven't contacted us all week...so this is what you've been up to." The guy says looking at my with a strange smile. 'What the hell is wrong with this guy.' I think to myself as I look around when...
-"Huh..." I exclaim surprised by seeing a familiar face. Just then that person notices me to. 'This can't be! Why is he here?'
-"Naty? Is that you?" The person exclaims as both Mark and the other guy turn to look at him.
