Broken With You

2: Free Period

I have a crush on Jace Gavins. No way, I can't. This cannot be happening. I was doing so good. And now I like Jace Gavins. Jace freaking Gavins. Jace freaking gorgeous Gavins. What am I going to do? Tell him?

What are you serious? Why would you even think to tell him?

I don't know. I'm not a big fan of keeping secrets. Last time I did I made the worst decision of my life.

Just say it. He was the worst decision of your life. Don't act like you can't mention him. He is nothing now. You can mention nothing because it's...well....nothing!

I am seriously going insane. I'm having a conversation with myself. Ugh what is wrong with me?

You have a crush on Jace Gavins, that's what.

Oh shut up. I'm going to tell him. Then I won't have to think about it anymore. Because he'll tell me that he doesn't like me and I'll get over him. Easy peasy.

And if he likes you back?

He doesn't. From what people say he doesn't get into relationships. He wants it to be serious.

That's sounds eerily familiar, does it not?

Yeah yeah, he sounds like me. But...I just...I don't know about him. A little bit of him reminds me of.......

Daniel.

Yep. And what if he is just like him? What if he does the same thing? What if he hurts me?

What if he isn't like him? What if he doesn't do the same thing? What if he doesn't hurt you? What ifs are not going to be your friend in the future, just so you know. Just stop thinking and do because your making us look a little bitch.

I go outside. Free period is 100% my favorite part of the day. I get to go get Chinese food from Ling's. Ling's is my favorite place in the entire town. Ling always lets me work a couple of hours for a good amount of money and because he has known me since I was little I always get a free small lo mein. Ling is family. I put my jacket on and before I can start walking a voice stops me.

"Where you going?"

Jace. I turn around and see that he's tall. Not too tall but taller than me. He walks toward me and I walk backward, and soon I'm slipping off the steps but a hand grabs my waist and pulls me toward a hard chest. I'm breathing hard. It all happened so fast and now I'm pushed against his chest. I'm staring into his eyes. His brown eyes. He puts his hand on my cheek and his warm touch makes me close my eyes.

Then something unbelievable happens. A pair of soft lips are pushed against mine. He's kissing me and I can't help but kiss back. I've never felt this way before. Not even with....

Why on earth would you think of Daniel right now? You're having your first kiss right now and you think of Daniel.

I am having my first kiss. Wait. I'm having my first kiss!!!! I pull away from him quickly. It wasn't right. Having my first kiss in front of the school I hate with a guy I just started liking.

"What? What is it? Needed a breather?", he says smiling. But instead of smiling back at that gorgeous bright smile of his, I slap him in the face. I don't why I did. Well maybe I do. Because he kissed me out of nowhere when he doesn't even know my name or anything about me.

I walk away from him but he is on my trail.

"Ok I'm confused. I kiss you and you kiss back. Then I get slapped in the face. Is this playing hard to get because if it is it's definitely working."

"It's not hard to get. I don't know why you kissed me and I don't know why I kissed back, it was a stupid move and it's not happening again."

"Don't lie. You know why I kissed you. Because I like you.", I stop and turn around.

"You can't like me because you don't know me."

"I do like you. I remember when you first talked to me during freshman year. I asked you for help on the homework because it was worth a bunch of points. And you told me: Use my head and to use something I know well to help me understand it. I used sports and because of you I didn't have to repeat that class during sophomore year.", he says. I'm surprised that he remembered that. It was so long ago. But I can't talk. I remember every detail of freshman year because of....Dani....No I still can't say his name.

"I'll admit I didn't like you last year because I was focused on other things, but I personally asked to have you as my lab partner when I found out we were in the same classes. You can ask Ms. Merriam yourself." I believe him. He was always nice to me ever since freshman year. We barely talked but when we did it was nice.

"That doesn't mean kiss me." He nods his head and looks down. "But I will admit that it was nice." He looks up and smiles.

"Can we just start as friends and see where it goes? No kissing....no flirting. Just friends." Of course I want to say yes because I like him, but I think it'll be harder for him to not make a move. I'll take the risk though.

"Sure." He holds hand out and I shake it. Then I continue to walk to Ling's with Jace next to me.

Oh this is going to be interesting.
