The face of a monster

I dont know how it is for you but I got surprised by this

So, we left with us all studying. Well, I'm sorry if I let you believe Nora and Kyle were studying because they're not. They're in Kyle's room and I think we all know what they're doing. But that's not what we're gonna talk about. We are going to talk about the fact that me and Emily are alone. I'm freaked out. I've listened to Emily's heart beat and noticed small changes but I just got disappointed when I realised it was because she solved a maths problem. Yeah she's definitely not interested. Did I tell you that by the way? No? I think you've figured it out anyway so spare me the embarrassment of having to tell you how I feel. Thank you.

"What did you get on this one?" Emily asks and points at a problem she just has solved.

"X equals -2" I say.

"What? I got x equals 2" she sighs and I smile to myself. I then move closer pretending to look at how she solved it. I then do something risky, I continue the lie. X=2 but I just need to do something to get the conversation away from maths. I pretend to explain what she ha scone wrong and she does her best trying to keep up with my very confusing explanation.

"But that doesn't make sense" she sighs and tries to count again. I can't help the smile spreading across my face and she mumbles over and over again how it's not possible. Then I can't hold it together anymore, I burst out in laughter and she looks up confused at me.

"X equals 2" I say "I was just kidding" I'm laughing way too much at my own joke but it seems okay because Emily laughs as well though I think she's a little pissed.

"Fuck you" she giggles and fake punches me in the stomach.

"Can't you do better than that?" My tone is playful just like her smile when she hits me again and again. She's pretty good but I'm better. Out of nowhere I throw myself at her but twirl around in the air so that she somehow lands on top of me. She lets out a small scream but it doesn't sound like she's too afraid. We keep on laughing as I carefully wrestle with her so that she ends up lying at the floor with me on top of her. I don't put my whole weight on her but I'm close enough to smell her hair. I guess that doesn't say much since I could probably smell it from 10 meters away if I wanted to. But then, something unexpected happens. She smiles at me brighter than I thought any human could smile, she chuckles and I lean closer and we kiss. I'm not sure who's idea the kiss was, all know is that I'm gonna kill Kyle if he interrupts it. Actually I'm gonna kill anyone who interrupts it. Emily slowly lowers her head and our lips do no longer touch each other.

"Was that your first kiss?" She asks and she almost looks embarrassed. I shake my head unable to speak. "Not mine either" she laughs to fill the silence but is interrupted by me when I kiss her again. When she doesn't complain I try to deepen the kiss but I don't know if I succeed. I haven't got that much experience okay. I've only been kissed when girls have been playing truth or dare and they got dared to kiss the least popular guy. Yeah. I'm not really proud but whatever. At least I sort of knew how to do. It's better than not knowing anything.

She is the first one to pull away and I'm worried I did something wrong but then she laughs again so things are probably fine and I'm over reacting like usual.

"I actually didn't expect this" she says and bites her upper lip, I've noticed that's what she does when she tries not to smile. She did that during class the other day actually, Mr Gomez said something in Spanish that both me and Em noticed wasn't right and it was quite hilarious because of how seriously he believes he's Mexican.

"Why not?" I ask very carefully because I'm a bit afraid of the answer.

"David Black, the scrawny and lean blond kid who's the palest I've ever seen. It's like if he never leaves his house. If anyone would have told me last year that you would become muscular and one day sweep me of my feet and kiss me I wouldn't have believed 'em. Let alone if they said I would actually be enjoying it. I would probably have punched them or called a therapist" she looks at me nervously as if she doesn't know what I will think.

"Technically I didn't sweep you of your feet you know because you were already sitting down. And may I add that you were actually sitting on the floor so when I pretty much launched myself at you the fall wasn't too bad." I'm not trying to be funny but Emily continues to laugh. Maybe that's how she handles awkward situations, just like I do, well not just like me since I stare down at people's shoes but almost, right?

"Yeah I can't really understand how you managed to get me on top of you but-"

"That's because I'm a werewolf" it just slips, comes completely out of nowhere but most importantly; it makes an amazing cliffhanger so you'll have to live with this awfully short chapter. See ya!
