Stolen Kiss

Chapter 9

(Jeremy Pov)

A month had gone by since school started and i still felt like it hadn't really started yet. I'd met this amazing person that i wish i had known longer and before Emma. This girl is.... Is.... Amazing. I've been with Em for about two years and she's just so... Annoying.... Why couldn't i have found someone like this girl years ago. Ugh just stop thinking about her and focus on your school work!!! I have been shouting at myself for over an hour and i was still thinking about what my life would had been like if i hadn't met Emma...

Masks are finished, dresses are being finished, everything will be perfect for tonight. It's October 31, just one more class to go. I had though that about a million times. I'm in English writing a mapping quiz and not really thinking about it, all i can think about is nothing. My mind is blank. I'm so gonna fail this quiz, mind please don't fail me now... But it already had. DING!! Went the bell ending the class and school. I had barley written anything down in 45 minutes. I handed my paper to the front and walked out of class. First i walked to my locker and sorted through my books and papers. I was a pack-rat so i kept everything i had ever gotten which made my locker look like a tornado had gone through it. As quickly as i could, i found what homework i needed and i started to walk home. Amy didn't walk with me today cause she had a tutoring section after school so i walked all by myself. As i was walking my mind wandered and though about other things like sports, art and pretty much everything under the sun. Today was extremely boring and i don't know why. My days are usually exiting or at least fun but today went by so quickly i forgot what my first class was.

I had gotten home in no time and started walking up to my house when i saw something out of the corner of my eye. What?!? He lives right beside me?!? It's been two months of school and i haven't noticed that?!? Wow i must be losing it... Jeremy was walking right up to his front door which just happened to be right beside my front door. I went inside as quickly as i could and ran up to my room. I laid on my bed and my mind went into overload with thoughts. Does he know we are neighbours? If he does, does he care? The wheels in my brain kept turning as i thought. This would be a weird year.

This is what we have been waiting for, for a long time, The Masquerade Ball. Ava came to my house and we all got ready. One rule with this ball is that no one can know who you are, except for yourself and the people you came with. We finished getting ready and walked downstairs. Abby was driving us for some weird reason. "Hurry up Abby we're gonna be late" i shouted to my sister who was on the phone. She rolled her eyes and hung up on the person. "Coming your majesty" she said in a sarcastic tone. We all laughed and walked out the door with Abby behind us getting her car keys. Me and Amy both called shot gun and raced to get to the front seat first. I won so i sat in the front while Amy pouted on the back. I had always lived winning.

We got to the school and said goodbye to Abby and walked in. The plaza had been transformed into a beautiful.... Well a beautiful something. I couldn't tell exactly what they tried to make the plaza look like but it was beautiful none the less. I scanned the room looking for someone, possibly, and never laid eyes and the person. All three of us had our masks on and so did everyone else in the room. I walked with Amy and Ava towards the centre of the room. I scanned around the room again and my eyes fell and a boy with dirty blonde hair and piecing blue eyes i noticed through his mask. He was alone no sidekick with long blonde hair and, why i had imagined, a pink ball gown. He saw me and i looked away. He smirked slightly to himself then walked over. "Hello ladies. Any of you care for a dance?" He practically asked thin air. Ava went to go find Daniel and Amy was off with who know who and i just stood there staring at him strangely. "How about you?" You looked at me and asked. "Now why would you chose out of everyone else in the room?" I asked him looking around and a smirk formed on his lips. "Cause your the only one by yourself" he asked stepping closer to me and taking my hands in his. I took this moment to look up into his piercing blue eyes. He dropped my hands and slid his down to my waist. Instinctively i wrapped my arms around his neck as we dance. "You may already know this but i fell very strongly attracted to you" he made my cheek go red and i stuttered "I-I feel the same towar-" he cut me off by leaning closer to me by an inch and being a centimetre away from my face where he stayed for the remainder of the dance until a voice started yelling my name. "AMANDA!!!! AMANDA!!!" My sister called out from half way across the plaza. I groan slightly and the boy in front of me chuckled. I looked away from him to my sister coming towards me. "What?" "I heard the best news just now" "And that would be...?" "Jeremy and Emma broke up!!!" She squealed at the top of her lungs and ran off in the other direction. I looked at the boy in front of and asked. "Is it true?"
