Forever

Chapter 11

Ding

I get a text from Kyle.

Haven't we spoken enough for the past hour, I mean come on..

I read the text as "Thanks."

What?

"For what?"

"For all of your advice."

"Oh uh yeah.. np"

"Well... can we talk tomorrow?"

"Well I'd assume that would happen whether we schedule it or not."

"Yeah I know but I don't mean like how we usually talk. Like can we meet ip in the cafe right after school and just be alone."

That's not very comforting...

"Umm for what?"

"Just to talk?"

"But I meant about what?"

"Life... school... love..."

"Love?"

Something's going on with him...

"Ok sorry"

"What?"

"I'm sorry"

"About what!!"

"Being awkward."

I don't respond.

What the hell am I suppose to respond? Uhh god I don't know. I guess I'll just end it because this is not normal. What's up with him? Oh my god..

"Ok Kyle, I gtg"

"K ttyl... well tomorrow. Cafe. Don't forget."

"I'll try.."

"Bye."

Jeez. No. Huh. What? I'm really confused... Oh whatever. Don't fret about it now, it'll only get worse tomorrow when we "talk"...

The next day when I get to school I see Kyle eyeballing me.

He can't have a crush on me. He likes Amelia. God I don't know. Whatever. Who even cares?!

"Valentina!"

"Yeah?" I say not knowing who called me. I turn around and of course.. Kyle.

"What Kyle?"

"I just wanted to talk."

"Look, I said we can talk after school today. Why do you want to talk now?"

"I just.. no.. bye."

He leaves me sight immediately. Weird.

I press my eyes into my fingers as I clench them shut. I take long breaths and as I look up, Kyle comes charging at me. Before I can complain any further he grabs my head and pulls it up to his as I feel his cold and insanely dry lips squeeze closely and way too tightly on mine. This is an ugly feeling.

He lets go as my eyes squint and my eyebrows lower.

"Sorry.."

"It's cool."

Why didn't that make me gag? Oh no. I can't possibly. No! Please God no!!

I stare into his dark eyes filled with depth and emotion.

"Is this what you meant by talking about love?"

"Pretty much...."

I notice myself repeating his exact moves that he had done a few seconds and then before I know it we're kissing again. Really kissing.

No I hate this. What am I talking about? I love this. No!! UGHHH!!!

I push him away again and run home by myself as fast as I can trying to outrun him.

Once I get home I run upstairs, pass my room and charge into Zac's room.

"Zac help me!"

"Sure kid, what's up?"

"I have a BIG problem?"

"Tell me about it, stud." He says laughing.

I laugh briefly but quickly get back on topic and worry my head-ass-butt- whatever off about this situation.

"Ok so you know Kyle?"

"That really annoying kid in your grade?"

"Yeah him."

"Yeah"

"Well he likes this girl, Amelia but then I noticed him eyeballing me and staring at me whenever we sing this love song and stuff and ,"

Zac cuts me off quickly.

"Dude, he obviously likes you. Glad I could help honey."

"No, Zac, I know he likes me. That isn't the problem. Well yeah I guess it is but just let me finish."

"Okay.."

"Well he told me he wanted to talk about love with me after school today and I didn't realize that it meant he wanted to make out with me!!"

"Hold on Valentina. You made out with that dork?"

"I didn't want to! He just went in for it and I couldn't stop him."

"So like.. a kiss.."


"Yeah."

He lets out a huge gasp of air.

"Okay good."

"Why? What did you think we were doing?" I pause for a second. "Oohh.. no Zac. NO!! ZAC!!! EWWW!!!"

He laughs a little but keeps his cool.

"Well you know.. can you blame him? Girl, you're a fox and let me tell ya, your kissing isn't too bad either."

"What do you mean?"

"Well when I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be."

"What is it with you and song lyrics??" I start laughing hysterically. As he joins in with his calm and loving laugh.

"Well what I'm saying is, I think he wants to start something with you.."

"Like... an affair?"

"I don't know.. maybe. I think he just wants to get closer and maybe start dating."

"Ugh but he's so gross."

"Did you feel that way when you kissed him back?"

"Well- Zac!! You were watching me!!"

"Ha uh kinda, yeah."

"I hate you too."

"Yeah but nobody knows it."

"Oh my god.." I laugh hysterically again.

"You're too cute, babe."

"Aw thanks, babe"

"Omg you're the best with advice."

"Yeah I know."

"And the funniest while doing it."

He doesn't respond for a really long time.

"Sorry I'm trying to think of more song lyrics."

"You're insane. Thanks."
