Kyle

Chapter 34:

Kurtis up in this GIF.

Maddy's P.O.V

"I need your help." He whispered. His eyes were looking down at the table and his long finger traced imaginary shapes upon it.

"With?" I said curiously. I perked up slightly, leaning in I placed my chin on my palm. Kyle chewed on his bottom lip as if he was carefully thinking out his every word. I noticed the little details on his face, like the trail of light freckles that danced across his nose and tiny birthmark on the right side of his nose. A small smile tinted my lips.

"I heard you're a pretty creative person and I was wondering if maybe you could help me ask Danny to prom?" He asked. I felt a hint of disappointment in my chest but what did I expect? For him to prom-pose to me the first time he's ever met me? Yeah kinda. Sighing I looked down at the faux wooden table. I took my bottom lip between my teeth and started to peel the dead skin off.

"What do you say?" He pushed, I glanced up at him with no emotions. Truth is I wanted to scream at him that he could go fluff himself. Instead he pushed out his full bottom lip and pouted, his big eyes looking sweet and gentle. I felt my heart flutter, but I didn't want to be used. Still chewing on my lip I stared at him. He was a beautiful human... I particularly enjoyed his wavy hair. It was messy and everywhere kinda like my life

"I don't know." I muttered.

Kyle lunged across the table and grabbed my cold hands and wrapped them in his. His face leaned into mine to the point where we were only inches away and I swear I was hyperventilating. I looked directly into his eyes and he looked into mine. I couldn't help but glance down at his red lips. They just looked so warm and inviting.

"Please?" He whispered. I opened my mouth and closed it, I didn't know what to say. I mean I know what I wanted to do but um not in public.

"Isn't Prom like in March or something?" Kurtis spoke up. I jumped in my seat, I had almost forgotten he was here. I pulled my hands away from Kyle and sat flat against my seat. Sighing in relief, I checked the time on my phone. It was only 12:40 so that meant there was still at least 20 minutes to survive lunch. Internally groaning I pulled my water bottle out of my black messenger bag and slowly twisted the cap off.

"It's never too early to start planning Kris." Kyle smirked. I narrowed my eyes at him and took a drink from my water letting the drink saturate my dry mouth.

"Kurtis has a point." I confidently stated correcting Kyle, "besides if you guys are good enough friends to go to prom together then you should be able to ask her alllllllll by yourself." I added in giving him a overly sweet smile. Kyle leaned his cheek against his palm and looked at me. He didn't say anything just looked at my face with a smile on his. I didn't know what it was about his stare that made me feel deja vu. It made me feel like I had known him once before. Stupidly I opened my mouth and said, "Did we have a class together last year.. or?" Kyle chuckled deeply. His laugh moved my heart strings, I couldn't help but giggle. Ew, I giggled.

"Yeah I think we had chemistry last year." He said, his eyes holding a twinkle of double meaning before drifting down to the table. I admired his long lashes, they reminded me of someone.. But yeah, the chemistry thing. I believe it. I didn't really like the class and I tend to repress memories that I don't really enjoy.

"Yeah, probably. I don't really remember many people from classes that I hate." I agreed. Turning over to Kurtis I politely touched his knee to wake him from his day trance. His eyelids snapped up from the ground and to me.

"Wha?" He mumbled. I squeezed his knee. He hadn't said much the whole time he was sitting with me. He just kinda sat there, I bet he was silently judging me.
