KISS NOTE

Chapter 3~ZACK'S POV~ A warm Tuesday afternoon of February.

After second hour class, I walked out to class as the last person. However, I was next to Gwendolyn, wanting to hold her hand. But I can't because everyone's around. We exchanged looks and smiles before we walked away from each other. I felt desperate inside to confess my irresistible feelings to her.

"Hey Zack, sounds like you're a bit desperate." Isabelle suddenly called me, walking next to me.

She gave me a pat on the back and I sighed.

"I'm feeling like I want to do it, but I can't because everyone's around. I want to make it private. I mean, my cousin told me that he had a crush on a girl when he was a teenager. His friends teased him and he got upset easily. He left his friends and he started a romance with her. I don't want that happen to me." I spoke.

"Zach, it doesn't happen to people generally. Maybe it won't happen to you like you hoped for. Some of your friends will be happy for you, others don't care about it. It depends on what people care about. So, just let it all out. Pretend that no one's around you, only Gwendolyn." She advised me and patted my shoulder.

I smiled at her.

"Thanks." I spoke as she smiled and walked away from me.

I never knew that Isabelle has an educated mentality, maybe her parents had educated her well. I don't know, but I can see like she played a role of a mother. I walked to my third hour classroom on the second floor. I sat on the back row like always. Until I saw one of my best friends, Chase, came in the classroom. He was wearing a red-orange shirt; black, denim jeans; and black shoes. He was carrying a crimson backpack on his right shoulder.

"Psst! Chase!" I whispered and he heard my call.

He looked at me, and smiled.

"Hey, Zach." Chase whispered.

"What's up?" Chase asked.

I sighed.

"Not so much." I chuckled.

"No? You feel bored?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Me too." Chase shook his head.

"So anyway, what you're going to wear for the Saturday dance night?" I asked Chase.

"Me? I have no idea. I have so many nice clothes in my house but I can't even choose one." Chase expressed as we chuckled, before the teacher called us that class was now in session.

After five hours of learning, studying, writing, getting bored and tired at the same time, the bell rang. It's finally a full hour break. I walked out from school, until Isabelle called me.

"Zack, Gwendolyn wanted me to give this to you." Isabelle spoke as she gave me a note from Gwendolyn.

My heartbeat quickened when she gave me a note from Gwendolyn.

"Thanks." I thanked Isabelle while she walked away from me.

While I slowly opened the yellow note, my nerves trembled and my heart pounded hard. I opened it completely, her handwriting is so beautiful. I read:

"Hi Zach,

I wanted to talk you during the break, because I might have something towards you. I hope I'll see you again during this time.

Gwendolyn"

"Oh, my God. She wanted to talk to me?" I whispered.

My breaths began to quicken; my heart fluttered like the rhythm of a butterfly; my nerves trembled and words failed me. However, I realized that we're having an hour break, and now's the time to see inside of the pink purse. I walked out from school, carrying my black backpack and sat on a bench in the inner corner of the school building. I smelled and sighed of fresh air. It kind of looks like it's summer, but up north, maybe not. I put my backpack on the ground, unzipped it and took out the pink purse.
