Chapter 25 - Poems p2 ♡

Nancy's POV-

"Robin?" My jaw dropped as my eyes found themselves on the dirty-blonde girl who had mascara running down her cheeks. Is this my fault?

I felt something start to grow in the pit of my stomach, and I assumed it was nervousness. Max was in there too, and she looked pretty pissed.

"I don't think I-I'm supposed to be here, I'm missing um- class." Robin uttered, completely avoiding eye contact and attempting to rush past me.

I stopped her by tugging on the cuff on the sleeve of her black jacket.

"Listen, I-" I was cut off.

"I honestly can't handle this." She pulled her arm away from my grip and I felt the fabric fall from my fingers. "This is the l-last thing I need right now." She turned around again

"Robin, I'm serious! I didn't mean to-"

"I know! I know.." She sighed, her tough side fading slightly.

"..Is there anything I can do to fix this? I can.. uhm.. fix your makeup?" I offered desperately, wanting more than anything to fix what I damaged in her.

She just remained silent as she shook her head and leaned against the wall, staring at the floor.

I frowned and walked closer to her. I watched her face for a while, really studying her features. I realized how actually pretty she was. I hesitantly lifted my arms to place my hands on both sides of her face to wipe away the mascara trails that were almost dried up. Her face lifted slightly, as her eyes bolted up to mine.

"I'm so sorry." I mumbled, seeing her shiver once my breath hit her mouth. I let my arms fall back down to their original position.

"It's okay.. I'm just embarrassed." She replied, causing me to smile slightly. At the sight of my smile, the corners of her lips pulled up slightly.

We just stood there, inches apart, smiling at each other, unsure of what was going on or what was going to happen next.

Max's POV-

Are they gonna kiss or what?..

Nancy's POV-

"About the poem.." I began, taking a sharp breath in, "It was really good. I liked it a lot." Nausea began to build up, and I knew it was from the awkward tension between us.

"You're joking right?" Robin snickered quietly.

"No, of course not." I frowned, genuinely confused as to why she'd think I was joking.

"So you don't think I'm some creepy stalker who spends all their time watching you from outside of your window?" She joked unbelievably.

I chuckled and shook my head, "You're funny, Robin." I stepped closer, the tips of our shoes touching. Suddenly, the smiles on our faces began to fade as realization struck both of us. We were about to kiss.

I had never kissed a girl before, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I anxiously waited for her to make the first move, staring at her plump bright pink lips. Oh how I would've liked to kiss them, but I was too scared. This newly discovered urge was unfamiliar, I had never wanted to kiss someone the way I did in that moment.

"Nancy?" Robin whispered nervously.

"Yes?" I responded quietly, staring into her eyes.

"Are w-we gonna.." She stuttered.

"Kiss me." I uttered impatiently, placing both hands on her jawline, matching the angle of her face with mine. "Please.."

Her lips slowly connected with mine. She tasted oddly like peppermint, and her lips were softer than a baby's skin. That innocent kiss alone sent my heart skyrocketing, and my insides twisted. The kiss only lasted for a few seconds due to the fact we couldn't breathe anymore. We pulled apart, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Holy shit." Robin muttered.

"Holy shit is right!" I giggled, bringing one of my hands to my mouth to feel the spot where her lips had touched mine.

"That was cute as fuck." I heard a younger voice announce behind us. I suddenly remembered that Max had been watching us.

I turned around quickly and felt my cheeks burn red, "Don't tell Mike-!"

"Pshh, I wouldn't tell him even if you wanted me to. I don't tell him anything." She interrupted me.

"Thank god, I cant have him figure out that I'm-"

"He's dating Will." She cut me off, once again.

"What-?"

"I'm glad you guys figured everything out, but I'm gonna go ahead and go to the principal's office now." She smiled, walking to the door then pausing with her hand on the handle, "And don't make out in here okay? You'll probably get caught."
