So after we left the beach. We headed to Van's. We watched movies, while cuddled up in the couch. We hear a knock. I stand up get the door. To my surprise its Martin. Maybe he's here to apologise. I let him in. "Van ." he gets her attention. "I'm here to ask for forgiveness." Van just nods.
"So you forgive me?" He asks. She nods and turns her attention back to the television. Before I could even think of anything or even say anything Martin kisses me. I don't think I want to respond to this. I push him away and he frowns. "Get out!" I snap. He just nods and leaves.
"What was that about?" Van asks. "He kissed me." I respond while running a hand through my hair. She gasps. Before she could say anything our phones beep. We look at them and I see a picture of Martin and I kissing. That jerk. Van has a worried expression on her so I'm guessing she saw it too. "Why would he post this when I didn't even respond to his kiss?" I ask in confusion.
====
I'm guessing that Alec saw the picture too because he has been avoiding me. I need to talk to him and tell him that I didn't respond to his kiss. Oh my god, this is messed up. I just hope that he believes me. Rumours have it that he has been with a lot of girls, after he saw the picture.
"Presentation is on Friday." Mrs Hendricks announces. It's Tuesday, I haven't seen Alec since the day, of the picture incident. "Sit in your groups." Mrs Hendricks orders. I go and sit next to John. "Where's Alec?" I ask. "I don't know." He responds. I want to ask Alec so many questions, but he just keeps on avoiding me. And I think that he's ignoring me.
"Is he angry about Martin kissing me?" I ask, already knowing the answer. He nods. But why? We not even dating. Does Alec have something for me? I guess I'll have to find out. "Do you know where he could be?" I ask him. "I'm not sure because I haven't seen him since Sunday." He responds not looking at me. Maybe he thinks I'm a slut. But I didn't even kiss Martin. "What's wrong with Martin?" I ask.
"I don't know." Martin and Alex have some kind of..." He looks at me before he continues "I think Alec should tell you this himself." He says and I don't ask him anymore questions.
ALEC'S POV
Marin posted that pictured and I just felt like something sharp pricked my heart. I don't know why it hurts so much. I thought that I only like her physically and stuff but I think I feel something for her. Am I mad at her or Martin? I even made out with Alicia. The schools bitch. Did she respond to the kiss?
I don't know but I need to find out. Maybe I should stop avoiding her. I think I should talk to her and apologise for being such a jerk. I hope she won't be too angry. HAVE YOU FALLEN IN LOVE, ALEC?
RAVEN'S POV
In history class we wrote a test and after the test the teacher left the class. Van has been trying to cheer me up but I just need Alec. I really do. Lunch time. Yay! I'm hungry but don't feel like eating. I've been playing with my food for, I don't know how long. "Raven...there's someone behind you." Van says. I turn around and see an annoyed yet kinda happy Alec.
I get off my sit and hug him. He stays still, as I'm about to back away he sighs and hugs me back. "I missed you." I whisper in his ear. "We need to talk." He says sounding serious. "Okay. Now?" I ask. Before he could respond, the bell rings. "Meet me in the library in ten minutes." He says as he turns and leaves. Why does he want to meet at the library? When he knows that Marin is going to be there? I guess I will have to find out. I nod.
I turn to Van and she stands. We walk to her locker. She takes her books out and I walk her to her next class. "See you later." She says. "Okay, I'll see you later. Enjoy." I say with a giggle. She rolls her eyes. "What's nice about Maths." She asks. I smile. "Everything. I know you like it but don't want to admit it." She just laughs and enters the class as she sees her teacher walking in the direction of the class.

Martin and Alec are sitting in the same table. But they're not talking to each other. Martin is busy on his phone and Alec is staring out of the window. "Alec." I get his attention. "Oh, you are here. Come on, let's go." He says. Martin had this confused look on his face. "I'll be right back." I say as I turn my attention back to Alec. Before he could even reply we leave the library. Should I have waited for his response?
"Alec I didn't even respond to his kiss." I break the silence. He looks at me and smiles. "I'm glad you didn't." He says. Why do I have to explain to him when we are not even dating? "I'm sorry." Why is he sorry? Should I push it? Alec notices that I'm quiet and decides to continue. "I made out with Alicia." I stay quiet for a few seconds. My heart hurts as if someone is pricking it with something sharp. "Okay." That's the only thing that can come out of my mouth.
"Why her though?" I ask, shocked. "I was angry and I thought that you did return his kiss. She was the only one that was up for a make out session. And we..." I cut him. "Spare me the details." I say as I turn and walk back to the library. Martin is still there. He has a book in front of him. "Are you okay?" I ask him as I reach the table. He looks at me confused but covers his confused look with a smile. "Yeah. What about you?" He responds. "I'm not." I respond honestly. "Why?" He asks.
Should I tell him? He caused the problem. After all he should get a piece of your mind. I battle with myself. "Alec happened." I respond. He frowns at my response. "Huh? What's that suppose to mean?" He asks confused. " You kissing me and then posting it, made Alec angry!" He smirks and we get stares from some librarians. He pulls me out of the library. "And now he made out with Alicia." His smirk grows. "What's wrong with you Martin? Can't you see that you are my friend? And nothing else?" I say shouting. His smirk drops and his face holds some emotion which I can't really make out.
He pulls me into a tight embrace and I feel safe. But why do I feel like that when I'm suppose to be angry at him? Is Martin what I need? Tears come out and they have made his T-shirt wet. "I'm sorry. I-" he cuts me off. "I understand. You want to go get ice cream?" He asks. I nod and he gets his bag and we leave for the ice cream parlor.
