Chapter 4: Prove It
Alexis glances over in my direction and her smile instantly drops off her face.
"You." She sneers menacingly."What are you doing here." It's more of a statement than a question.
"Sorry? I couldn't hear you over the sound of a really annoying jabbering noise. Wait...I think that was you." I spit.
"Get lost, Mongrel. I'm here to spend quality time with my boyfriend." She sings, completely ignoring my insult. I hear loud laughter and look over her shoulder to see the whole of the cheerleading team...lets just say 'cheering her on'.
"Oh! And speaking of relationships, Alexis, meet my girlfriend..." Reece trails off and gives me a look of fear when he realises that he doesn't know my name, and it's obvious that Alexis and I know each other so he can't just make one up. *sigh* *triple face palm*
"What?" Alexis asks, looking confused.
"Errrrrr. Um okay. This girl standing next to me." He nods towards me."Is my girlfriend."
I internally gasp and I can see a look of horror and shock mixed together slowly travel onto Alexis' face. He couldn't have warned me? I'm literally going to faint. Okay maybe not faint, but something like that. Looks like the same goes with Alexis. Then I don't know how, I muster all the strength I can manage and say,
"Heh heh. Yeah. My boyfriend!" I says awkwardly, putting my arm around Reece's back and pulling him into a hug.
"W-W-WHAAATT!?! I-I THOUGHT W-W-WE HAD SOMETHING GOING ON R-R-REECE! S-S-SOMETHING S-S-SPECIAL!" She screams, her voice stuttering in anger and shock.
I smash my hands onto my ears, because that sound is like a cat being strangled. I screw up my face.
"Alexis, we never had something going on, it was just your imagination." Reece says, running a hand down his face and through his hair, making him extremely attract- NO! I have to stop this! This is not me! I am not a girl to think about boys, let alone think they're attractive! What is this boy doing to me!
"Prove it!" Alexis hisses."Prove it!"
We heard you the first time, idiot.
Reece looks at me and I look back at him. He bites his lip and puts his hands on my arms. What the heck is happening?
"Ok then." He says to Alexis, but eyes still trained on my lips.
Wait. Lips. No. This is not what I signed up for. But then again, I didn't actually know what I was signing up for.
But before I can do anything, he has already leaned down and kissed me gently on the lips. I freeze for a moment, before kissing him back. What am I doing? I don't even know how to kiss! I'm a complete n00b!
But as the kiss deepens, I feel like I have been doing this forever, as if I've kissed hundreds and hundreds of people (but ew that would be gross). I am a pro, I am an expert, I am a professional kisser. I feel soft tingles in my fingertips and toes, and I feel kind of light headed.
But when Chloé read out those mushy pukey books, people had said they felt sparks. Not just light tingles. But oh! Who am I even kidding?! I don't even know the guy! He might not even brush his teeth twice a day! But I'm sure he does, due to his pearly white teeth and the way his mouth tastes minty. Wait...WHAT DID I JUST SAY? DID I JUST SAY WHAT HIS MOUTH TASTES LIKE? DO YOU KNOW HOW WEIRD THAT SOUNDS?! WHAT THE ACTUAL-
Reece gently pulls away and my eyes flutter open. I look into his captivating grey eyes before pulling my gaze away from them and onto an Alexis who has her mouth hung open to the floor and eyes bulging like a...like a... I don't know. Like a goldfish? [A/N: TO PEOPLE WHO GO TO MY SCHOOL: LIKE AAQIL'S BUT TWICE THE SIZE!!! AND TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T GO TO MY SCHOOL: REALLY REALLY REALLY BIG EYES. THEY'RE LYK MASSIVE. NO JOKE. anyway...]
I hold Reece's hand and say to her, "Is that enough?"
"Umm...I think my team and I need to get some...um new um...cheerleading outfits." She says at last, and slowly backs away, blonde ponytail sagging a bit, and quickly walks out of the ice cream parlour with her team.
I look around us and notice that we've attracted quite a crowd. Slowly, people start to clap, then next thing I know, there are lots of wolf whistles and little whoops. I give everyone a weak smile and turn back to Reece, my eyebrows raised. He just shrugs his shoulders with a small smile...smile, not smirk! And mouths a thank you.
Moments after the applause and the crowd has gone back to either the queue or their booths, Brandon comes back from the toilet.
"So. What did I miss?" He asks, glancing at my flushed face and noticing that Reece's hand and mine are interlocked. I quickly spring apart from him.
"Umm. Nothing. Can we go now?" I ask Brandon, and he silently nods, looking confused. I give Reece a quick nod before pushing myself and Brandon out of the parlour.
