Chapter 16

!! 25 votes; new chapter !!
(Please read the Authors note at the end:))

As in Trance,  the whole class stares at the clock which hangs above the blackboard.
Three more minutes and the clock will finally annouce the two weeks freedom which we all definitely deserve.
I doubt that Mr Shue notices how everyone is mentally absent, he's way too concentrated about telling us the reasons for the second world war.
Its been our topic through the whole time, so no one really sees the reason why we should listen when we are right before spring break.

I look over to Kitty who sits next to me, staring at the clock like it was the only thing which was able to let her live.
We talked again the past week, maybe Mike's kiss was the reason for us to come closer again, she obviously find it so darn funny that she couldnt stop talking about it through the whole day.
I tried to ignore the message Finn sent me afterwards. I feel like im stuck in a really bad version of Pretty little liars. The only thing is that i know who A is and it definitely isnt a person called Charles. 

The things between Mike and me were awkward because no one seemed to be brave enough to talk to each other, the kiss was just too embarassing. I didnt feel anything as he kissed me, only the shock when his lips crashed onto mine.
To be honest i do feel a bit of disappointment that i didnt have butterflies flattering through my body because it would have given me an excuse to not think about Finn Hudson anymore, but sadly im still hoping for an excuse.

'Okay guys, have a nice break and we'll see us!', Mr Shuester shouts right as the bell rings, leading us into two weeks of heaven.
Kitty and me jump up at the same time, we've packed our stuff ten minutes before the bell to get the hell out of here.
Its not summer break but its still something.

We walk side by side down the hallway. Its got a tradition of us to go to Starbucks right as we get our well deserved break and so is it this time as well.
I do think though that we'll do something more exciting when we finally graduate.

'What are your plans for the spring break?', Kitty asks while she checks the color of her nails, which is animal print, tiger style.
I shrug my shoulders.
'Not much ... maybe going on a trip with Hiram.'
I couldnt tell her my real plan for the spring break, mostly because she would keep me from it and i definitely need to do it.
Kitty looks to me. 'Only with him? What about Leroy?' She knows that both got divorced but she also believes that maybe they will find back together, which i dont believe.
'They wont even talk to one another so.i highly doubt that they can spend a three days trip together in one room.', i reply with some sort of irony.
Kitty smirks. 'Well maybe you.could convince them.' Of course she thinks in the dirty kind of way.
'Kitty i wont let it happen to let my dads have sex when im in the same room with them!', i yell.
She just laughs and we both make our way out of the school.

'What are your plans?', i ask Kitty in the bus which will bring us right to the Starbucks. 
'Hooking up with guys and telling them that they sucked.', Kitty says im all seriousness.
I grin and check my phone for any messages. Nothing. He didnt write me since i texted him back asking him what he wants. Since then i got no anwer of him and i cant tell if i should be disappointed or happy.
Maybe i'm both at the same time.

'What happened between Mike and you?', Kitty aks breaking our silence.
Gosh this topic is always uncomfortable for me, because i dont know what happened between us.
'We just dont talk, kinda awkward.', is the only thing i say and its basically the only thing i could say because its the truth. Theres nothing more.

The bus stops and we both hop out of it, walking straight towards Starbucks. But right as we walk in, i take one step back because there is Mike. Okay actually i shouldnt be embarassed, i survived the other days so this will be just the normal Situation.
Kitty groans and takes my hand, pulling me with her, but my eyes are still on Mike. Its weird, i dont feel the butterflies but i still feel attracted to him.
He faces me and i see a smile appearing on his face and he walks straight towards me.
I bite my lip, and try to stay calm.
This is going to be like any other day Berry.
'Hey Rachel ... can we talk for a few seconds?', Mike asks me and puts on that caring face which makes me feel weak and i dont even know why.
'Umm...' -i look over to Kitty who nods- 'Sure.'

Mike takes my hand, leading me outisde the shop.
Our fingers are entwined, which confuses me but it still feels kind of right which confuses me even more.
Outside, i break our hands apart, mostly because i dont want to have the feeling that i cant let go of his hand.
Mike puts his hands in his pockets looking shy like he actually isnt. Who else kisses a girl in the middle of the hallway, feeling not embarassed at all? I only know him in this case.
Theres an uncomfortable silence between us, but no one seems to know what to say.

Its Mike, obviously, who finally opens his mouth.
'It was kinda stupid of me to kiss you in that hallway but i just felt like i should.'
Thats what he says. Like wow. That doesnt make it better at all boy. Its still embarassing for me.
But as the polite girl i am, i pretend that its fine.
'Mike its okay. I think it was just a really bad timing of you.'
Not just a really bad, The WORST timing.
He shrugs.
'Thanks Rachel. And yeah i believe that but i just really really like you and i ... um ... i ...' He seems not sure wether he should say what hes about to say or not. I highly pray for that he doesnt.
'... i want you to be my girlfriend Rachel. Like without the embarassing kissing or holding hands, without the hiding ... a real couple.'
He did not. No. He did not say this. No. No. No. No. He did not. He did not say that he likes me. He did not say that he wants to be my boyfriend. He didnt. How can i escape? Like i could knock him down and run, just run.
No that would be rude.
Damn damn damn. I should have never went on that date with him. No just no.
'I like you Mike.', i say and my voice sounds like i really mean it.
Shit what am i doing.
His eyes lighten, excited for what im saying next. Im pretty excited for that too.
'... and our kiss ... that was well ... it felt ... right.' NO! Kitty come out of this starbucks and stop the polite Rachel from doing something VERY stupid!
Mike takes my hand and i try not to break his hand so i can run away.
'I think being your girlfriend would be really nice.'
Okay thats it. You totally messed it.up Berry. Like for this time you really did. I'll jump off the next bridge i see.
Seriously. No. Berry just no.
But before i can tell Mike that that was not me saying that and that my polite part just kinda decided for me, he kisses me.
Its a better kiss than the kiss in the hallway thats for sure.
His lips dont crash on mine, its a soft and for a second i do believe that i like it. And in that second, i just kiss him back, and lay my hand in his neck while his arms grab my hip and pull me closer to his body.
In that second i completely forget about the stupid decision i just made.
But right after that second i hear Kittys voice behind us.
'Get a room.', and with that three words Mike breaks the kiss, while his hands keep laying on my hip. He blushes but smiles, while i just am completely shocked about what happened. Am i his girlfriend now?
'Sorrey Kitty.', he smiles and looks down at me.
'We just couldnt help it.'

His smile. Its exactly the smile of Finn. Not that i've seen Finn smiling a lot but i did. And those smiles are alike.
I drop back, bringing distance between him and me. He looks like Finn. My part said it because he looks like Finn.
'Rachel are you fine?', Kitty asks worried and i nod but i dont mean it.
I am not fine.
Definitely not.
I stumble away from Mike and run to the bus station, while i hear Kitty yelling behind me.
Shes faster than me and so she grabs my hand and makes me stop running. 'Rachel what is going on?'
And in that moment i decided to tell Kitty about Finn Hudson.
