We all stepped out of the changing room and inside the actual gym hall. Our new teacher was already there waiting for us. And I have only one word to describe that guy with, but Scarlet beat me to it.

"Hot!" she breathed, grinning widely. The teacher, who's name was Hunter, started giving us a lecture about this and that. Dani and Scarlet didn't listen to any of it, instead, they just stood there drooling over him. In the middle of his speech, someone attempted to contact me.

"Psssst!" Scarlet started poking my cheek. She wasn't very tall, so I had to lean down to pick up what she said.

"Let me guess, you call DIBS?" I said in a hushed tone. She broke into giggles.

"Actually I was gonna tell you something" she buzzed, nodding towards Luke.

"I'm listening?" I whispered back, starting to get interested.

"He's crazy about you" she tittered. "Have you seen the looks he gives you?".

"You mean those perverted stares?" I bantered, carefully glancing at Luke.

"No, when you don't look, he gives you those dreamy looks.. Drake never looks at me that way, he looks at me like I'm a fresh piece of meat" she trailed off, looking to the ground.

"Girls! Do I have to take you out in the hall with me, and have a chat?" Hunter abruptly called out, implying to me and Scarlet.

"Surely, I wouldn't mind" Scarlet flirted, biting her lip marginally. He shook his head with a laugh. Wasn't she supposed to be dating Drake?

"We're gonna go for a run in the woods today, everyone follow me please" Hunter said leaning over to grab his gear.

"That ass" Scarlet whispered, pointing to the teacher. Without warning, someone placed their hands on both my butt cheeks.

"That goes for you too" he whispered into my ear as he squeezed them a little. I shied and shot him an aggrieved look. "I mean it, your ass does look good in those tights" he mocked with a saucy smirk. I tugged my shirt down a little, hoping it would cover my bottom, it didn't.

"I hope he's gonna run with us too" Scarlet babbled as Hunter directed us to the path we were gonna run.

The only thing on my mind, was Luke. My eyes searched for him, but he was nowhere to be seen. We started jogging. In the beginning it wasn't that tiresome. But soon, I would be striving for breath. Am I in shape? Doubt that. I'm skinny, but I don't have a flat stomach. Not yet. I'm working on that. I'm trying to jog three times a week. And I go to a fitness center, regularly... Alright, every once in a while!

By the time I was starting to get really drained, I had lost track of both Scarlet and Dani. Scarlet was probably pursuing the teacher, while Dani had given up a long ago, as she is in a way worse shape than me.

Right now, I couldn't see any of my class mates anywhere. Had I jogged the wrong way? I hope not. I could spot an uphill in front of me, and let out a frustrated groan. There was no way I would be able to run up that hill, so I slowed down to a swift walk. Someone came running towards me. I stopped. Was he almost finished already? I was just about halfway, and he... Woah, he must be very fit, unless he cheated somehow. I felt kind of bashful for not have gotten any further than this.

Luke slowed down. Not good.. He lifted his T shirt a bit to dry off the sweat off his face, revealing a toned torso, and I couldn't help but stare. A cheeky sneer was gracing his lips.

"Like what you see?" he joked casually, his voice being raspy from the running. He was getting closer to me and shortly, he was standing right in front of me. I took a step back.

"Don't" I raised a warning hand. He tilted his head with a mischievous glimpse in his eyes. I kept backing up until my back hit a three. Luke didn't stop until his body was pressed up against mine.

"Knock it off!" I whined, trying to push him off but he grabbed my wrists and held them above my head.

"Touchy are you?" I could feel his chest vibrating as he murmured the words. He used one of his hands to keep mine against the three as he let the other one wander down my side. As he passed my arse, he pinched it, making me flinch. His hand moved to the inside of my thigh, unhurriedly getting closer to my crotch.

"Stop" I breathed, and to my surprise, he moved his hand to my hip, and it stayed there. His intense gaze was giving me goose bumps. Gradually his face was nearing mine. For a moment, I thought he was going to kiss me, but in the last second he changed his course and went to kiss my neck instead.

His firm lips met my collarbones, leaving wet kisses. He moved a little higher, nipping at my skin. I was inhaling uncontrollably, lost in his touch. His hand started moving up and down my side as he initiated to suck on my skin. A moan escaped my parted lips, making him form a deep chuckle.

I had never experienced anything like this before. To be honest, I haven't even had my real first kiss yet. I could feel his teeth bushing past my wet skin, before he started sucking again. He drew back, investigating his work before planting a gentle kiss on the area. His face moved back to the position right in front of my face again, his eyes locked with mine.

"Aren't you ever gonna kiss me for real?" I surprised myself. Why did I say that?

"You want me to?" his voice was so deep, it sent chills down my spine. I leaned a few inches closer, my lips meeting his in a vigilant kiss. I didn't only surprise myself, I could sense that I amazed him too, as the grip of my wrists eased.

One of my hands went down, carefully sliding around his neck. His tongue graced my lower lip, begging for entrance, which I didn't grant him. But of course, that didn't stop him. He shoved it in between my lips, forcing them open.

His other hand let go of mine, moving to my face, cupping my cheek. For a moment, my eyes fluttered open. Filling me with regret. On the road, Dani was standing speechless, gawking at us. I twisted my head to the side, ending the kiss.

"Get off me!" I snapped wriggling out of his grasp, and raced over to the road were Dani was standing. I had startled him by kissing him, leaving him a little vulnerable, making it way easier for me to push him off. This is the first time I can truly say he looked at me with real sadness.
