You Light Up the Sky Like Lightning

Chapter Fourteen

*Justin's POV* (going back a little, just so you know. A lot is the same, but from Justin's point of view)

When we were at lunch, I noticed Landry watching me a lot. She would take a few glances at me, make an angry face, and then turn away scowling.  

She probably thought I was going to say something to her about kissing her. Probably why I did it. 

Do you know why? 

Cause I don't. I have no fucking idea. 

"Hey," Ryan B. said to Chaz. "Out of every girl you've kissed, who was the best?"

Chaz looked at him like he was crazy, but he answered. I didn't know who he said, because I didn't really pay attention. Or care. 

They asked the same question to Ry Good, who then asked me. I just shrugged, indicating that I didn't know. 

I actually did, but I didn't want to tell anyone because she was sitting right across from me. 

And then I got an idea. 

I turned to Landry, who looked like she was zoned out, and in her own little world. "Hey, Landry," I said, successfully getting her attention. She jumped a little, as if I caught her off-guard. "Out of every guy that you've ever kissed, who was the best?"

I just wanted to see what she would say. Plus, it saves my ass in trying to explain why I kissed her in the first place. 

She stared at me like I was mental. "Why do you want to know? Or need to?" 

He smirked at me. "I want to know. Call me curious. Did he have amazing good looks?  Did he have gorgeous brown eyes? Does the whole world know who he is? Is he pretty much the richest kid ever? Are you on his world tour right now because your parents are screwed up and have problems?"

She glared at me when I said all that. I actually didn't realize how mean that last part sounded until it came out of my mouth. I mean, she has no control over her parents. I even told her that.

"Woah, wait," Ry Good said, holding up the 'time out' sign. Then he slowly turned to me.  "Justin, did you-"

"You kissed her?!" Chaz screamed at me, interrupting Ry with a mouth full of food, spewing bits all over the table. 

Everyone at the table was now staring at me, waiting for an answer. Landry had her head in her hands, but I could still almost see a blush on her cheeks. 

Chaz looked at me with a ‘Well?‘ expression, and I snapped out of my thoughts. Right. Answer.

Uh, I don't have one.

Unless . . .

"Actually," I smirked.  "It was more like she kissed me."

Landry's head snapped up. “What the fuck?!” she yelled.

Because that is so not what happened at all. I had totally kissed her, and she knows it. 

Everyone's attention turned to her now. 

"Excuse me?" she said to me, clearly pissed.  She just ignored the other guys around her who were staring at her. 

"There a problem?" I asked while popping a piece of food into my mouth. Yeah. Still acting cocky. 

Landry looked like she was about to explode.  

And then she did. "You think that I would kiss you?  Why the hell would I kiss you?  You kissed me! AND. THEN. YOU. WALKED. AWAY. WITHOUT. SAYING. ANYTHING. TO. ME."
