Koa pov:

I kissed Gray. I kissed him and not just a peck. Like a full on kiss. Our lips touched.

But why didn't he answer my question? Was he mad? Did he get shy or was he embarrassed? Why does he have to give me these mixed feelings. I know we playfully flirt or that's what I think. I hope this isn't an one sided thing, I have to go through. Like all those cheesy romance movies my mother liked to watch. I walk out of the library with a smile, knowing that this won't be the only time I kiss him. Just wait until I'm out of school. Then he'll be mine, I just have to make sure no one else gets to him first. The way he looked at me when we broke the kiss, was turning me on, but I had to hold back. It made me want more. So I decided to pick him up, so that he didn't run away.

His lips were so soft. He just went with it, which I loved. We need to get in more situations like this. It was fun, watching him get all shy with his glasses on the tip of his nose.

"Hey, is Luna still mad?" I ask Sunny. She doesn't look the happiest, like she always does. "Uhm, yeah. We got into a fight after you left to Brandon's car." She holds herself, with small tears falling down her cheeks, like she can't cry anymore. "Did we take it to far? Maybe we should've left Brandon and Mr Han together." She says. "No. I won't let anyone try to go on a secret date or something."
"But, now I have to fix my relationship." She looks up at Luna, who gives us the cold shoulder. "Hey, don't wo- think much about it. Just give her some time to think things through." I hug her for comfort.

"Thanks. But I need to go home now." She walks off to exit, leaving me in the hallway. Uhm, now I need to find Gray. He should be in the printing room.

Gray pov:

I'm glad the professor gave me work to do in the printing room. I open the door to find it pitch black inside. Why are the lights off? I place the files on the deck by the door and turn on the lights. As I turn around I see Koa sitting on the chair. He stares at me, my heart bonding fast. Why was he here? "Hey. You've been busy today." He says, standing up from his seat. "What are you doing in here? Students aren't allowed in here, except when they are with a professor." I cross my arms. "Well, I'm in here with you."
"Trying to be smart now." I place the files on the table in front of him, leaning forward on the table.

"Maybe I am." He leans on the table, our faces inches apart. The grin on his face widens. "So, you didn't give me an answer yesterday. Are you mad?"
"Mad about what? I have no idea what you're talking about." I stand up straight, not looking at his direction. I hear him walk around the table and stop in front of me. "Why are you avoiding eye contact?" He says, in a tease-able voice. "I'm not."
He slowly begins walking closer to me, as I take a few steps back. I bump into the door, leaving me nowhere to go, but he's moving closer and closer towards me, until our bodies touch. "Yes you are." He places his hands either side of my head.

Well this feels filimilar. "I gave you a heads up before I kissed you. And I said sorry. But you didn't even give me a thanks for saving your life for the second time." His words were soft and they were true. How did he feel when he kissed me? Was he going to ignore me after I told him thanks. These last few days, I really enjoyed his company. But I can't get to close to him, because I'm his substitute. "How did you feel after you kissed me?" He looks at me, like he's looking at a math equation, as he steps back and leans on the table. "Are you going to answer, or are we even?"

"To be honest. I was freaking out after I kissed you. I was also really scared that you'd will avoid me, like you did. And the only reason I was there at the library was to see you. But I wasn't planning on kissing you. I just got really irritated that you and Brandon had a tutor session. I got irritated, when I found out you living with Simon's brother. I got really irritated, that you're attention is not on me." He steps closer with each new sentence until he stops in front of me. My heart bonds against my chest with his words.

Koa pov:

He breaks out laughing. The sound of his laughter is cute. It's like a he has hiccups between his laughs. And he closes his eyes, holding his hand before his mouth, but you still see his smile. "Why are you laughing? I just answered your question. Now you have o answer mine." I fold my arms, as I look down at him. He looks at me, but quickly looks away. His ears turn red, as his cheeks too. "I was scared that I wouldn't want to stop." He covers his mouth with his hand, muffling his words. But I could still hear him clearly. My heart skips a beat. Wow, that was the cutest thing his ever said. But I would like to tease him for a bit.

"Sorry, I didn't catch that." I place my hand by my ear, as if someone is whispering in to it. "You like teasing me in these types of times." He nearly yells. He looks behind me and he goes pale. "The cameras. What am I going to do with the cameras?" I let out a chuckle. "What you think this is funny?" He leans forward on the table and covers his face with his arms. "Don't worry, I already planned everything through. The cameras are disconnected. So they don't see or hear anything from this and a few classes down." I say, walking up behind him. He bend down, my chest touching his back. "Now, what did you say earlier?" I whisper in his hear. I stand up straight, letting him turn around. He turns to face me, his glasses sitting on the tip of his nose.

"I...wanted to keep...kissing you." He looks down at the ground, me only seeing the side of his face. My heart fills with warmth, with his words. "Aw, that's so sweet." I pinch his cheek. He slaps it away, "Is that all you're going to say?" He says, irritated. "What? You never said anything good towards me, so I have to savor this moment." I shrug. "You're a complete asshole." He rushes past me, but I quickly grab his arm. "What?" He says, as he stands before me again. "I didn't say that you could leave. And besides, I locked the door and you need a key to unlock it again." I sway the keys in the air.

He looks at the keys and then at me. It looks like he wants to murder me. "Give me the keys." He jumps for them, but I raise them up. "Can't help it, that you're short." I let out a chuckle. "If you really want the keys, kiss me."
"What? After your answer you gave me, never again." He folds his arms. "Fine then your stuck with me in here till tomorrow morning."
