Chapter 29: Competition

Y/N's POV

My eyes were empty.

It's really hard to think when he just punched me...

...on the face...

...with his lips...

...crashed into mine,

...softly.

The color of my eyes suddenly changes into transparent white yet, I couldn't feel anything. There were no voodoo whatsoever. My reflection bounces back at me with the clear green lockers. I could slightly see my own situation.

No, we didn't pull away. Not just yet. But, my eyes were still wide open. I'm still, somehow, surprised.

What is this empty feeling? It's like the universe is shouting at me to let me know something important. But, I couldn't embrace it.

My necklace glowed nothing but white. My eyes were filled with no such color except for pure white. The most peculiar thing that I'm thinking right now is that,

What does the color white mean?

Then, he slowly begin to pull away. The blinding illumination in my eyes soon fades away as our foreheads rest against each other. I can feel his hot breath all over my face, gasping for air. I did the same.

He was red. And so was I.

Neither of us said a word. I would've said something right about now but, I was taken aback. I was still processing on what's going on. I didn't know what to say. Was it real? Did it really happen?

Did we just kiss? For the very first time...

I blush at that thought. When we did, something sharp just sparked within me. It felt magical and sincere.

I wanna do it again.

"Y/N L/N! School princess of ECA!" A unfamiliar voice calls out to me. I quickly push Marco aside and blush while turning to the person. Shit, it'll be embarrassing if she'll see us like that. Marco scratches his head, his cheeks reddens.

"Yes?" I politely say. The girl stops to rest in front of me with her hands against her knees. She was wearing cheerleading clothes. From the looks of it, she came from running to find me. She finally got up straight.

"Sorry, you h-had to see that but, you need to come with me. It's...er," She glances at Marco who was behind me then back to me. "...important." She finishes. Well, it ought to be related to cheerleading stuff. Cheerleading activities leads to extracurricular points which would make it important.

"Oh, of course. Sure." I say with a smile. She simply nods and waits for me to come with her. I turn to Marco who was apparently flushed. I blush a bit too as I blink my eyes several times. I walk near him. "Uhm, I-I'm... glad we h-had this t-talk." I stutter.

"Me too." He timidly replies. I nod as I left. "Hey, uh, Y/N...?" He calls out one last time. "Hm?" I turn to him.

"I..." He sighs. "I... trust you."

I smile at him sweetly and reply, "I trust you too." Then, I left off. Though, I have a feeling that it wasn't what he meant to say. It must've been something a lot more deeper.

"I love you." Marco says wherein Y/N wouldn't hear anymore.

"Audition?" I question. "Yes, you heard that right, princess. You're going to have to audition." Brittney flips her hair.

"Why do I need to audition? You wanted me to be part of the cheerleading team. You approached me yourself and now you're saying I have to audition?" I cross my arms and raise a brow. This girl is hard to deal with.
