What Could Go Wrong?

Chapter 7

For the past week or so, Kyle has been out sick because of the flu, so Lucas and I have been sitting next to each other the whole time. He seems pretty cool, has a great sense of humor. We talk just about every day, mostly about random things, and I think we'll be great friends.

Well today was Friday, and I heard from Lucas that Kyle is planning on coming back on Monday (they're really good friends). So at the beginning of band, before the teacher came up, we talked about random things just like usual. But one sentence that he said stuck out to me for some reason: "I like sitting with you, you're a really cool girl." And after he said that, we just kinda stared into each other's eyes. Wow, he has beautiful, hazel eyes... wait what am i saying? I think to myself. And at the same time, I broke the gaze. That was the last thing he said before we had to start playing our music.

As much as I love music, it couldn't take my mind off of what he said. "I like sitting with you..." I mean, I like sitting next to him too. He's funny, and nice, and kinda cute... SNAP OUT OF IT SAVANNAH! I had to think to myself. What was I thinking? I JUST got over Matt, why would I start liking someone else right away? Stupid brain.

At the end of class, after we packed up our instruments, Lucas came up to me again. He said, in a calm tone, "I wish Kyle didn't have to come back."

"Yeah, me either. It was fun getting to know you."

"You too." He sarted to turn but came back and said, "Oh, and if you hadn't broken our stare, I might've kissed you..." He said, sounding somewhat disappointed, then walked away. My eyes widen at his remark, surprised at how blunt he decided to be. I don't understand, we just started talking. But I guess I can't fault him, I find myself growing more interested in him by the minute.

On one hand I wanted to chase him and give him a big hug. But on the other hand, I just couldn't move. Taren, who is also in band, tried moving me, but I was frozen in place. I couldn't help but think what would've happened if we kept our gaze. But now I'll never know. I might've missed my chance.

The end of the school day came around, and I decided to meet Sammy and Taren behind the school to tell them what happened. As I approched them, they both looked very confused.
"What are you doing here?" Taren asked.

"Yeah i thought you would've been long gone by now," Sammy added.

"Well I would've, but I really need to talk to you guys. Something happened in 3rd period..."

"Oh no, did someone find out about your powers?!"

"Do you need help covering it up?" I got bombarded with questions, all regarding my powers.

"No, it had nothing to do with my ability, ok? It had something to do with a.... uuh.... boy..."

"A BOY?!" They yell in unison.

"Yeah, yeah, but could you keep it down please?"

"Sorry..." they whisper, again, in unison.

"Thank you." I proceeded to tell them what happened.

"He said he wanted to kiss me! And now I have absolutely NO idea on what to do..."

"Well, do you like him too?" Sammy asks.

I glue my eyes to the ground with a sheepish grin and answer, ".....maybe....."

"Well I would say just go with the flow, see what happens. Maybe watch him on the cues he gives you." Taren said.

"Yeah, i guess that's a good idea... well thanks for talking with me about this."

"Dude you don't have to thank us. We're your friends, it's kinda in our job description." Sammy says. We all chuckle at her response.

"Oh and can anyone give me a ride home? I really don't want to walk." I ask.

"I can totally do that." Sammy says.

"Ok, thanks."

-------------Time Skip------------

On Monday during band, Kyle was back and was, yet again, sitting between me and Lucas. Throughout the whole class, Lucas and I were exchanging glances past Kyle's head. I could feel his eyes on me at random points in class, and I would look at him randomely too. A smile smile was plastered to my face at this action, and I couldn't help but blush sometimes, too.

I was getting tired of this, so by the time class ended, I had enough confidence to do what I had in mind. I found Lucas, grabbed his hand, dragged him out into the hall, and gave him a big hug with my arms around his neck. He started to hug me back, and I honestly didn't want to let go. I felt so safe in his arms, for some reason. It's like we were meant to find each other; as soon as we started talking, it was like we were old friends, like we'd known each other for ever. He very gently pulled down on my hips to let me know I needed to let go, and so I did. A dejected feeling washes over me as I was expecting him to say something like "we shouldn't be doing this" but no. He leaned down and kissed me. He was very gentle and respectful, I like that. His lips were warm and filled with passion and hope. My stomach filled with butterflies once more, and I kept my hands wrapped firmly around his neck, as if I feared I'd fall if I let go.

We pulled away and I felt unable to open my yes for a few seconds, basking in the bliss from the occurrence. I finally opened them and chuckled, "So that happened,"

He laughed as well and responded, "I've wanted to do that for at least a week now."

I smiled at his response, "Well you're in luck 'cuz I wanted to do that too." And hugged him again.

For a good hour I forgot about everything else in the world, including my ability. I knew I had to get back to that, but not now. Now, I was happy. It was only a little while, though, until he started catching on.
