The Accidental Kiss

Chapter 3-Planet X 2

A picture of Joey Scarlett to the side!

Joey's POV

My heart immediately started beating a hundred times faster. I think I'm going to die of embarrassment.

But wait a minute- his eyes seem...closed. Is he sleeping?

Okay, so I'm just gonna walk as quietly as possible and try to not do anything stupid like bang my hip on the corner of the table (which I always do). I tiptoe across the room- I feel like a thief who just stole something and escaping as silently as I can. But being my uncoordinated and clumsy self, I tripped over my own foot and used a table near me to support myself. That resulted in a screeching sound that sounded horribly loud and made me stop in my tracks. Damn it! Why do I always have to be so careless? I took a quick glance at Luke to see if he was awake. My heart almost leaped out of my throat when I heard a grunt coming from him. But he just stirred and went back to sleep.

Phew, that was close.

I was so relieved that I forgot to concentrate on getting to my seat making no noise. Thud. Oh no. I think I just smacked my thigh on Luke's arm. Almost instantly I felt ten fingers gripping my wrist.

"Don't let go!" Luke moaned and I realized that his eyes were still closed. He must have been dreaming. I was just about to pull my hand away when he opened his eyes.

He was still holding on to my hand. This is awkward, I thought.

"Um, sorry." I hurriedly replied while trying to get away. He is still holding on to my hand, what am I going to do? A few awkward moments pass as I struggle to let go of his grip, determined to not look at his face because I'm afraid he will recognize me.

Luke's POV

"Don't let me go!" This was my last chance to win her back...or not. I was only dreaming.

And let's just say things got real weird when I realized that I was in fact gripping onto someone's hand. Please don't be a guy. Ugh. I'm straight. So I took a breath and fluttered my eyes open and the first thing I saw were a pair of blue eyes hidden under thick lens.

Those dazzling blue eyes. I could never forget them. Those belong to the person who I lost my first kiss to. You might be really surprised that I have never kissed a girl before- in fact, I've never even had a girlfriend.

"Sorry," I said while pretending to cough into my fist. She seemed to want to escape as far as possible. Am I that scary?

I watched her movements as she was walking towards a seat at the far corner. Her cheeks were flaming red and she was playing with her fingers. Somehow, I find that cute. And the fact that she's determined to not look at me- damn, I need to get to know the girl who stole my first kiss.

"Hey, come over here and sit with me. Don't be shy." I called out to her. Nope, no response at all. She must either be really shy- or she's deaf.

I tried a few more times but I still got no response. I decided to pull out my last card. "Fine, you don't wanna come over, I'll go over then." That did the trick- she immediately sat up straight and looked out of the window. Turns out she wasn't deaf after all.

Joey's POV

What is his problem? Do I look like in the mood to talk? How can he just act like nothing ever happened between us? I asked myself a ton of questions as I hear him approaching.

"Hey," he greeted me with a grin. I couldn't help but notice that he was indeed really good looking. I fought the urge to look at him and ignored him. It's not that I hate him or whatever... it's just that I don't think I can face him so soon after what had happened.

"Look," he continued. "I'm sorry about the other day." Why was he apologizing? It's not even his fault.

"What's your name?" I bit my lip nervously, unsure if I should answer him.

"Hello? I'm talking to you." He waved his hand in front of me. Ugh, what a jerk.

I didn't answer him. I didn't want to answer him.

"Nice name you got there." Was he being sarcastic? I didn't even tell him my name. Oh- he was looking at one of my workbooks.

"I think you already know mine." He said with a smirk. Wow, just because he knows that he's popular and girls drool over him.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Luke Evans."

"Huh, that's the first time I ever heard you speak, and you said my name. I feel so proud right now." I couldn't help but laughed at his childish statement.

"You know, you really should laugh more. It makes you look friendlier and cuter." With that, he imitated my usual dull, unfriendly expression- and that made me laugh even harder.

Then his tone turned serious," I mean, why don't you talk more, make friends and get to know other people? Friends are very important in your life, ya know. Hey, I could be your friend." He added with a sincere smile.

For some reason, instead of feeling grateful towards him, I felt kinda angry at his statement. He doesn't even know me, or my story- how can he just go around judging people like that?

"That's none of your business." And then I turned and walked out of the room, leaving Luke alone with a bewildered look on his face.

Oh dear, how is Luke gonna fix that?

I'm so sorry guys, I know that I took a loooooonnngggg time to update this chapter  and is kinda short...but here it is! How was it? What did you think about Luke's POV?
