{Based off events in my school minus the making out. Also I can't remember if Simon actually calls Penelope Penny but just go with it.}

I was so fucked.

I stood at the wall, getting ready to sprint across the gym. My eyes were trained on Baz, my best friend and longtime crush, who stood in the middle of the floor. He was looking right back at me, and it was taking all my willpower to keep up my 'I'm challenging you to something and this totally isn't just an excuse to look at your gorgeous face nope not at all' act thing whatever.

Moments later he called out "Sharks!" And we were off, dashing across the floor towards the other end. He made a beeline directly for me, a grin on his face. He reached me in a matter of seconds, and laughed as he tagged me. His laugh was beautiful. I blushed lightly as his hand rested on my shoulder.

I really really really really wanted to kiss him.

"You don't get it.... I can't stop thinking about him and his smile and his laugh and him in general and its killing me slowly Penelope what do I do you're a girl you're supposed to know how to deal with this.....!" I groaned, leaning back on Penelope's bed. She laughed, patting my head.

"I don't really, that's just a stupid st-" She cut off as her eyes widened and a grin made its way onto her face. I looked at her questioningly. "I've got it!" She exclaimed. "We'll make him jealous."

"What do you mean?..." I asked tentatively, moving to sit up.

"I mean, I'm gonna flirt and shit with you, hug you randomly, all that crap, you're gonna return the flirting, and we're gonna make Baz jealous." She said, seemingly satisfied with her brilliant (?) plan.

"Are you sure this'll work?" I asked, and she nodded.

"Come on, it'll be fun if nothing else." She said, and, slowly, I nodded.

The plan was put into action the next day. It started in gym, the only class she had with Baz and I.

I came out of the change room, eyes surveilling the room in front of me. They fell on Penelope and her friends, then on Baz. Taking a deep breath, I walked towards the black a hired male, quickly striking up a conversation.  About a minute later, someone wrapped their arms around my neck. I almost jumped, then remembered it was just Penelope, I smiled.

"Hey Penelope!" I said, smiling. She smiled as well.

"Hey Simon!" She said. Boy this girl was good. She sounded the perfect mix of confidence and shyness that, as someone who helps other with feelings, is a very real thing. I turned backroad Baz, who smiled, but he had a look in his eyes. I shrugged it off and continued talking. Penelope interjected once in a while, making a comment or two, or saying something flirtatious. She left a few minutes later, departing with a cheek kiss. She was really going all out.

"What was that?!" Baz asked when she was gone, a certain intensity in his gaze.

"Oh, Penny? We've been friends for a while." I replied. He nodded, as if satisfied, but later Penelope told me she could feel him glaring at her the rest of gym.

We continued with whatever we were doing over the next few days. As the week progressed I got more confident and flirted back bit by bit. When Friday rolled around, though, and nothing had happened, I was sort of discouraged.
"He obviously isn't jealous, Penny, we should stop." I said to her. She shook her head, a laugh escaping her lips.

"Dude, my friend, Agatha, she's in on this. She watches every day, and every day she says he gets more pissed off. He's gonna do something today, I know it." I sighed.

"Fine. Last day."
-
As before, I walked up to Baz at the beginning of gym, then Penelope came up and wrapped her arms around me.

That's where it was the same. But today, Will reacted.

"Snow, can I talk to you? Alone?" He said, glaring at Penelope. She nodded, pouted, then walked away. Baz grabbed my hand and dragged me into the back of the storage room.

"Baz wh-" I stopped when he pinned me against the wall. His eyes were aflame with... With something. Emotion? Yeah, that sounds right.
He had a hand on each side of my head, his eyes trained on mine, and his body only inches away.

"Why do you just let her do that right in front of me? Fucking hell Snow, it's already hard to not kiss those adorable lips of yours, but then you have to go flirt with her?!" He said, voice low. It was sexy. (I'm sorryyyy) I swallowed, heat rising onto my face. I opened my mouth to say something but stopped as he pressed his lips onto mine.

They were slightly rough. Hell, he was slightly rough.

He kissed me.

I processed that thought for a moment before moving my lips slowly with his, relaxing into it. He moved one hand to my waist, pulling me into him as I lay a hand on his chest. He moved his other hand onto my cheek and I gasped. He took this moment to invade my mouth with tongue, deepening to kiss further. At this point it had left the realm of cute and turned passionate and needy.
We broke apart, cheeks red and lips swollen. His eyes were dark, so were mine, probably. We smiled.

"About time." We whirled around to see Penelope standing a few feet away, hands on her hips, grinning.

"And oh yeah, next time you guys might wanna be a bit quieter. I mean, not that I'm not happy for you, but I really didn't need to see that."
