We kissed.

I kissed my best friend. Well more like I jumped him. I didn't realize how refreshing it would be.

I sit in my math class and all I can think of is his soft lips.

I bet he uses sugar masks and Vaseline.

Even the way he groaned into my mouth made my heart stutter.

"Eyes on the board!" My math teacher snaps and I'm pulled out of my day dream.

He stares at me particularity. I glare back and he goes back to something with calculus and blah blah blah.

If we're being honest I should be paying attention. My math grade is at an C.

But I can't with the thought of Mateo on my mind.

It's been really casual between us. This morning he picked me up like usual and dropped me off at school with a heart wrenching kiss.

Navi and Nemina stared wide eyed at me when I pulled away from him. My cheeks were flushed as I ignored their protests of my defying them information.

Alaina the new girl actually turned out to be really sweet. She sits next to me in math. She huffs and fixes her half up half down hair and leans back in her chair. Drew sits behind her and is staring at the ribbon in her hair.

"Whipped." I whisper in his direction.

Alaina turns her head towards me in confusion but I shake my head then glance at Drew. He glares at me then dismisses me with a scoff.

I smile to myself and the bell rings, signifying the end of the class. Sometimes people need a little push.

I wait nervously at the entrance to the school. Mateos picking me up as normal and I'm not sure how to greet him. Do I kiss him? Or maybe I smile. Not sure.

His car whips into the parking lot and pulls in front of me. I raise my eyebrows at his driving and get in.

He's holding a bouquet of flowers. More specifically baby breaths and spider Lillie's.

I gape at him and smile so wide.

"Are these for me?" I ask him excitedly.

"Yes." He bites the inside of his cheek and offers me them.

I take them and stare wide eyed at the pretty followers.

"Does this mean you're going to kill me?" I question after recalling spider Lillie's meanings.

"Why would I kill you and deprive myself of you?" He gazes into my eyes.

Shock rings through me as we start driving.

I giggle a little and smell them. The scent of flowers, pine, and something warm fill my nose with their heavenly scent.

Fall. That's what clouds my mind. Cheer season is half way over and orange everything fills my vision.

I lean my head against his shoulder and glance at the orange leaves around us. Our matching shoes on and touching.

The coffee in my hand burning like my feelings for Mateo Gio Valdez.

I stare up at him to see him already looking at me. So much emotion in his hazel eyes. I smile like a lovesick idiot and shove my face against his shoulder.
