Chapter 5

Klein and Jonas are already arguing in front of our classroom door when I came in. I don't know the reason but Jonas walked out from the scene. Melissa comforted Klein and I know there's gotta be someone to comfort Jonas, and that's me.

I rush down stairs.

“Jonas! Wait!” I keep chasing him. I know it was all a misunderstanding, even though everythi-ng was quite vague to me especially when I'm oblivious about the scene they've made.

But one thing's for sure, we should all fix these rather than putting to an end our almost a year of friendship.

He looked back and we both stop from running.

"Give me some space Kate. Go back there and comfort Klein, he needs you”.

I'm panting, I just run up stairs when I heard them fighting then run back down again to chase Jonas, I even forgot that our school have an elevator.

“C'mon! Both of you are my friends. We could fix this” I said still catching my breath, I feel like I just ran a marathon.

He shakes his head and took a step away but I still followed him. I hooked my arm around his and I look up at him

“Please Jonas, don't do this. And please stop acting like a kid with a tantrum; you know I hate chasing people”

He doesn't look at me, he didn't even unhook my arm. He breathes heavily then pressed his lips in a hard line.

“I'm not the one acting like a kid, he's the one that's acting like a kid”.

I voluntarily unhook my arm to pat his back.

“One of you must swallow their pride to fix this, and you know that it's you. You fathom things a lot better than him” I tried to make it sound like a compliment.

He faced the opposite direction and from running away earlier he's now walking inside the building again.

“We got a 1:30 pm class, don't we?” I nod at him. We both walk toward the elevator and he pressed the 4th button.

I'm facing the elevator's door but from the corner of my eye I see him turn his head to stare at me. Suddenly he swiftly pulled me closer to him.

His one hand on my waist while the other is pulling my chin up then parts my lips, he mesh up his on mine and I can't shove him away, I didn't even know if I want to do it.

Oh god his lips are so soft when he gently brushes it on mine. And why does he tastes like mint? I'm very inexperienced with this and I don't know why I voluntarily follow how his lips moves.

The elevator comes to a ping and we both pulled away.

Everything happened so fast, that we've done it for like four seconds, I can't look at him when we step out the elevator and we didn't talk the whole day.
