The Road to Passion

Opposites Attract

*Justin's POV*

I watched Bella sit with her friends after retrieving her lunch.

Her friends were all talking amongst each other, but she was quiet and didn't say much at all.

I hate seeing her like this.

So I quickly developed a plan.

Taking a seat at an empty lunch table near Bella's, I wrote a note on a piece of lined paper.

Then, I carefully crumpled it and tossed it at her.

It landed right next to her lunch tray, and luckily, her friends didn't notice it.

She looked straight at me and opened the note.

She read it and raised an eyebrow.

Her gaze fell on me again, and I nodded towards the cafeteria doors.

Just when I thought she might've accepted, she shook her head and refused the offer.

"Please" I mouthed.

Bella glanced at her friends, who were too busy talking to notice her, and shrugged.

She stood and walked out the cafeteria's exit.

I hurriedly followed her.

And there we were, alone together in the empty hallway.

"What, Justin?" Bella asked.

"What could you possibly want?"

"I'm here to make you feel better." I murmured, reaching out to hug her.

"No!" She shouted, pushing me away.

"Do you really think that you of all people could comfort me? This is all your fault to begin with. If you had never gotten so close to me, Bryce and I would still be friends."

I tried to hold back my anger, but I couldn't anymore.

Her focus should be on me!

"Why do you still care about him?" I practically barked at her.

"You have me now!"

"We were friends!" Bella argued.

"And I liked him way more than that! Not that you would ever understand!"

"Bella," I managed to calm myself down a little bit before speaking to her again.

"I do understand. I understand because that's exactly how I feel about you."

"No..." She started to sniffle.

"Justin you don't understand. Taking me into that janitor's closet was the worst thing you've ever done to me."

What is she trying to say?

"What I mean is..." She continued to explain.

"All you've done is made transferring schools harder for me."

A tear slowly slipped from her eye.

Right now I just wanted to hug her and forget this stupid argument.

"I haven't stopped thinking about it since you did it to me..." She sobbed.

"Did what to you?" I inquired.

"You kissed me." She answered.

"That's all I've been thinking about. And I can't transfer to another school because...I-I love you."

*Bella's POV*

There, I said it.

Salty tears poured uncontrollably from my eyes, and I stared at the ground.

How am I supposed to switch schools now?

Getting so close to Justin and developing feelings for him just complicated everything.

I simply stood there, a mess of tears, until a pair of strong and warm arms wrapped around me.

"Don't cry Bella." Justin said.

"I hate seeing you sad."

He lifted my chin so that his beautiful hazel eyes stared back into my blue ones.

"I love you too." He whispered.

And for the second time, he placed his lips on mine.

But this time, I didn't regret it.
-
At the end of the day, Justin went over to me before I closed my locker and went home.

"I'm sorry about earlier." He said.

"I know you don't like when I kiss you."

I stood on my toes and pecked him on the lips.

"No need to apologize." I smiled.

It was the first time that I've ever seen Justin in shock.

"See you tomorrow." I said, waving to him.

I smirked to myself as I walked out of the the school's front doors.

What a day.

That's the end of Part 16 :)
