Accidents Happen

0.3

After lunch, I went back to class with Summer, who was telling me about this "amazing" new store that opened in the mall last week. Sometimes I wonder how Summer and I got to be best friends, though I sure am glad it happened. We turned into Mr. Finn's classroom, he, Freddy, and Zack were talking about something that we couldn't quite make out, I think I might've heard my name, but I can't be sure. I set my backpack at my seat and went over to the guys.

As soon as I came over, their mouths went shut.

"Hey guys, whatcha talking about?"

"Stuff." Mr. Finn said, forming his mouth oddly.

"Really? What stuff?"

"G-guy stuff." Freddy said.

"Huh. Ok, well if you guys don't want to tell me, I'll just be going." I said, turning back to my seat.

Then, behind me I heard, "Phew, that was a close one."

I stopped for a second, and almost turned around. But I just continued back to my seat. When I got there, the bell rang. And class started. We were beginning the class portion of the day, and by this point Mr. Finn was almost a legit teacher. We've taught him everything we know... Well Summer has taught him everything she knows. She claims she's going to be a lawyer, but I think she'd make a better teacher. We learned about algebraic expressions (that's the gifted class for you) and three of the countries in Africa. The bell finally rang, signaling the end of school. I ran to my locker to grab my skateboard and catch up with Freddy. I had a sweet new trick I wanted to show him that I was positive would blow him away.

"Freddy!" I called out running up behind him.

"Hey Tomika, what's up?"

"I just learned the coolest new skateboard trick, you've gotta see it."

"Ok, show it to me."

"Now?"

"Yeah..."

"But the school parking lot is so crowded, I could mess up."

"So what I'm getting out of this is that you're scared?"

A look of anger mixed with annoyance crossed over my face.

"Not one bit."

I hopped onto my skate board and stared riding through the students. I was swerving through them, but I was still performing the trick well. I was about to do the grand finale when something, well better yet, someone was in my way. And I just couldn't avoid him.

"LOOK OUT!" I yelled. All he did was looked at me.

CRASH

I opened my eyes to find myself on the floor and my lips pressed against his.

"ZACK!" I instantly stood up. "Are you ok?"

"Did we just kiss?" He said, his face like stone.

"I don't know, did we?"

"We totally did..."

"But it was a complete accident, accidents like this happen... Right?"

"Yeah, yeah. Of course." I picked up my skateboard and walked back over to Freddy who was laughing his head off.

"Oh shut up."

I stood there watching as Zack got in his car.

That kiss was not an accident

Or maybe it was, but all I know is that I will never feel the same after it.
