I remember learning in primary school that eye contact is very important and to now cower away from the truth. But I want to. I want to walk out of here and reset this day.

One where I just walk into the store,buy an album, the band doesn't show up and I walk out and grab a coffee.

Instead here I am, confronting an issue that 24hrs ago I would've laughed if you told me was going to happen.

"I-I'm sorry," he says, breaking the silence between us,"I didn't mean to go too far."

"Too far?" I question," I would hardly call kissing 'too far'."

He shakes his head and let's out a monotonous laugh," You really are something else!"

"What?" I roll me eyes, crossing my arms over my chest.

"This," he signals between us," - isn't going to work and I know that you know that too."

Before I can even think of an answer I blurt out,"I'd rather be with someone that tries and doesn't quit after a kiss."

"That's not what I'm saying,"

"That's what you're implying." I say.

He walks towards me and pushes me, for the second time that night, against the wall and kisses me. And being the idiot I am, I kiss back just as hungrily.
