He Will Regret Me

Running into somebody...

I walk with my hands in my pockets. The park seemed like a nice place to go. I mean the weather is quite nice to go to a park.

I smile as I watch the kids scream and shout around the park. I pull my hoodie tighter around my body,against the cool breeze. My phone vibrates,I check it and I got a message from Dereck.

I text him a reply , looking down at my phone. As I walk I hear a thump and I realize that i bumped into somebody. "Sor-"I say looking up and I become silent. It was Joey.

" Oh hey,Kayla"He says politely. I smile as nicely as I can, hoping he would just keep walking. Acting like I was never here. But,he doesn't move he just stands there and stares at me.

"Kayla..."he begins saying. I look away from him and bite my lip and look at my sandals. "Do you...hate,me?"he asks quietly. "Uh...well...i-i don't know..."

He kicks a rock across the sidewalk."I know I've been a real jerk...I reject you for my reputation...a-and then I want you after your little makeover...".

I look at him and he looks at me"But...I've...learned something."He gives a little grin"I learned not to judge a book by its cover".

I smile,"Good,its about time you learned something!"Joey lightly kicks my shin."That's not nice!" I giggle"I know...I'm not a nice person!".

Joey laughs. That laugh...its so cute...

Joey breaks a small tree branch with leaves and starts to poke it towards me. "Hey!"I say in protest. Why does he know how ticklish I am!? I giggle and take off running,away from him.

He chases me down until I reach the end of the sidewalk. Then I fall down in a giggling fit. He just laughs at me,then holds his hand out. I take it and pull myself up. "Kayla, I've really missed you...and that laugh..."He places his hand on my cheek. He pulls my face towards his.

"...and those beautiful eyes..."My face gets closer to his. His eyes slowly close. And then our lips are touching.

I sit there a second,enjoying it. Then I realize,this isn't Dereck,I shouldn't be kissing him...

I push away quickly and face away from him. "I-I can't..." I run away from the area. My feet pound the ground as fast as they can go. Tears brim my eyes.

Joey kissed me...and the worst part is...I liked it.
