Kleigh's pov
"Sianne!" Kleigh snapped his fingers to get her attention but she just stared at him. He knew the kiss came out of nowhere but he couldn't help himself. Ever since he found her on the roof top, she simply took his breath away. But there's no need for her to know that. She could be a little odd but there was something about her that he was attracted to.
She finally snaps out of it and narrows her eyes, "you kissed me," she stated as if he didn't know and then started walking back towards the front door out of the club. She started mumbling to herself and because of the loud music, he didn't hear a thing. Kleigh half ran after her to apologize but the music changed and a lot more people got up to dance. After squeezing through, he let out a sigh of relief.
Kleigh walked out of the club and inhaled through his nose. Ah, fresh air. He looked around and saw her leaning to a car. "Hey, I'm sorry alright. I apologize. I think it's time I leave." He waited a while to see if she was gonna stop staring at the ground to look up to him but she never did. He took that as a sign and turned to leave before she grabbed his arm.

"you have to take responsibility." After thinking about it, its just right. I mean he might not know it's my first kiss but- Before Sianne could even finish her thought, she heard him laughing. He's laughing!
"Why are you laughing?" Kleigh removed her hand on his arm and turned around.
"Why wouldn't I? You're hilarious." He took out a coin out of his pocket and placed it on my hand.
"What is this for?"
"A penny for your thought. " He said with a serious face. His face suddenly looking cold. Is he bipolar?
"Wha- No," Sianne placed the coin on his hand. "You're officially my boyfriend. Starting now." She smiled, mischeviously.
"Look, I don't know what you're trying to do but I'm not playing with you. I'm leaving and this is the last time you're gonna talk to me." Kleigh left and hailed a cab. Sianne couldn't stop thinking about the way his eyes turning dark and almost dangerous. She slightly shivered and realized that it was really could out. She looked around and hailed a cab to go back to the school dorm. It was almost midnight and since it was friday night, they were allowed to be out until well, whenever.

Kleigh was walking in the hallway, when an arm slid in his.
"what th-you!"
"Hi, boyfriend!" Kleigh's eyes almost popped out of its socket and tried to remove her hand.
"I'm not your boyfriend and are you a student here?"
"You kissed me, that makes you my boyfriend and yes, I am." She winked at him.
"I could kiss anyone as a greeting."
"No, you can't." She stuck out her tongue and half ran to get away from him. He was angry and amused at the same time. The woman's energy seems to lift up his spirits. He chuckled and suddenly realized how wrong it was What? Ugh, I gotta leave as soon as possible.
Why am i even talking to her?
Cause you enjoy her company
Yeah, right...
Why am I talking to myself?
Kleigh brushed his hand through his hair. Frustrated, he walked towards the administration to talk to the school president. His role for the whole week was to look for the students that their company approved for scholarship. They would be given 50% off on their tuition fee and will be given the opportunity to work at their company after they graduate.

" Mr. Kleigh Benners! We're glad to have you here at our school!" The president personally greeted him. The man sat up from his chair behind his table and grabbed his hand. He had graying hair and looked like he was in his fifties. He looked a little stressed out but the grip firm told him that the man had done alot during his years and was more than capable in running the University.
"Good morning, sir" He smiled. The man sat at one of the leather sofa placed in the middle of the office and ushered him to sit opposite him. The office was large but had a modest feeling. He sat down and they talked about his plans.
After half an hour, the president told him that a student will be helping him locate some of the scholars discreetly.
"Thank you very much. We appreciate your help towards the students here."
"You're welcome." His smile faltered the moment he got out of the president's office. He knew that what he was doing was a good thing. But he knew that his father could send anyone to talk about this scholarship. He knew that his father insisted on him doing it because of the chances in meeting Mr. McKinley's daughter.

Why in the world am I getting called to the Dean's office?
Sianne got through the wooden double doors and went straight to where the secretary was sitting behind a desk near the window.
"Um hi, I got called?"
"You're name is?" the lady smiled at her
"I'm Sia-" Sianne stopped to look up after hearing a familiar voice behind her. Her eyes got wide with shock.
"Honey? are you Ms. Mc-" Sianne leaned towards the lady and covered her mouth with her hand and sighed after realizing that Kleigh hadn't heard a thing.
"Yeah, yeah that's me! So, what do I do?" she smiled at the lady who looked at her with a mix of shock and confusion.
"Well, oh! There they are. You were called to help Mr. Kleigh Benner to look up some scholars." Sianne's smile faded and turned around to see the Dean with Kleigh. He cannot find out who I am.

Kleigh saw the woman he's been wanting to see but at the same time avoid in front of him gawking like she just saw an elephant.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, eyebrows furrowed.
"Hi, well- I mean I'm supposed to help you find a few students?" She smiled
"Well, this is not my lucky day." He said and turned towards the man beside him. " I'll be going around the school today and hopefully get everything done before four this afternoon."
"Alright, Ms.- "
"Yeah! I'll be helping you out today!" The woman held onto my arm and dragged me out of the room. I freed my arm from her hold and stared at her.
"Stop holding on to me. Now, tell me where I can find these kids." He held out the information he's been holding on his left hand and showed it to her. She looked at it and at that moment, he couldn't deny the fact that she is beautiful.

"Hey! He-" She waved her hands in front of him.
"Are you okay?" That's when he finally snapped out of his dream land.
"Are you thinking about me?" She teased him
"I'm sorry- you were saying?"
" I just said let's go." She laughed and led him by the hand.
It was weird for him to space out because it was usually her. She was worried about him founding out who she really was and thought that there was a chance that he'll never marry her. She felt a pang in her chest. Even though she'd only known him for a few days, she knew that she liked him already and the thought of him not feeling the same way made her uneasy.
Okay guys!!!
I know its rough! but give it a chance!
