Reese's POV

I climbed out of bed, got dressed, and went into the kitchen to grab a bagel. It hit me. All of the past few days was just a dream. Now I had to worry about who I was going to kiss. I really liked Reina, but what if the thing that happened in the dream happened in real life? I couldn't afford to kiss her. She would just run away again. I had to kiss someone else. But who?

************************************

"What are you going to do?" Newt whispered to me. We were sitting at the lunch table, and it was almost noon.

"I don't know." I whispered back. I had to either kiss Reina and take the chance of her running away again, or kiss someone else and take the chance of possibly breaking her heart. I looked at the clock on the wall. I walked out of the cafeteria, leaving everyone else behind. I had to sort things out.

Reina's POV

I watched as Reese walked out the door. What was he doing? Where was he going? I actually wanted to kiss him this time, I wouldn't run away. I got up and followed him. Geena grabbed my hand. "I don't think he is going to kiss you." Geena said in a calm voice, trying to make it sound less bad.

"I'm going anyways." I told her. I yanked my hand out of her grip and kept walking. She got up and came after me. I stopped in the middle of the hallway. Reese turned around. "So, who are you going to kiss?" I asked, feet wobbling slightly. I wanted so badly to run towards him and kiss him. But I knew I couldn't. He might not even want to kiss me.

Reese started walking slowly towards me. He might actually kiss me! He inched closer, and now he was about two feet away from me. I smiled and took a deep breath. But suddenly, he got faster, and went right towards Geena. He kissed her, and wrapped his arms around her. She wrapped his arms around his neck. It was so passionate, and it had been going for few seconds. I felt a lump in my throat get bigger and bigger, and I was holding back tears. I wanted to look away but I couldn't.

The kiss lasted about 10 seconds. That's pretty long, when you think about it. Geena pushed him away realizing what had just happened. She looked at me with a look on her face saying that she was sorry. Reese looked at me and ran. I just decided to walk home, even though school was only half done. I couldn't face Reese again. I would cry. I tried not to think about it as I walked out the door. The office would probably notice me, but I don't care anymore. My life has been ruined.

When I got home, it was about 12:30, so I had an hour before my mom got home to think of a reason why I had to come home early from school. I decided to plop down on the couch and watch TV for a bit. Every show I flipped through had some kind of love in it. Finally I found an Italian cooking show and decided to watch that. It was boring, but it got my mind off of things. It made me hungry, so i went to the kitchen to have a small snack. When I opened that refridgerator, my pet dog (a puli) came running up to me. Her name was Tangle, because of her dreadlock- like hair. I usually called her Tay-tay for short. I gave her a little spoon of peanut butter to make her happy. I grabbed myself a bagel and a bag of gummy bears, and headed up to my room. Right when I sat down of my bed, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I checked to see who texted me. Geena.

Geena: I am SOOOO sorry, I just got caught up in the monent not realizing it was Reese. Please forgive me.

I thought about it for a minute. He was the one who kisses her after all, not the other way around. I texted her back.

Me: I forgive you.

Geena: OMG thank you!!!! I am so so so so so sorry, I will never let it happen again. Oh god, the teachers coming over here, bye!

I laughed at her last sentence. It wasn't unsual for her phone to get taken away. She texted like crazy. I set my phone down and popped open the bag of gummy bears.
