The whole night, I tossed and turned. I couldn't get the kiss out of my head, the way his lips molded against mine. The feelings I felt - the butterflies in my stomach and my pounding heart - I couldn't get them out of my head. I couldn't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed it.

It seems, even when I'm not around him, Kai has a way of invading my mind and thoughts.

I spent the whole of Sunday thinking about Kai and the kiss. And when I wasn't thinking about the kiss, I was thinking about what tomorrow would be like in Drama. Would he acknowledge the kiss? Would he make some snide remark? Would he ignore me?

Ugh! I hate how Kai has complete control of my thoughts.

Due to this, I barely managed to get my homework done. I'm now going to have to make up an excuse on why my homework is awful.

Thanks Kai, thanks.

"You're so out of it today," Sadie comments, eyeing me up and down.

I put my hand on my hip and give her a sassy reply. "I'm always out of it honey."

Sadie rolls her eyes at my response. "Why do I associate myself with you?" I laugh at her question and walk around to her.

"Because how can you not?"

Sadie huffs and drops her arm over my shoulder. I can feel her eyes on me, analyzing me. "Wanna talk about what's on your mind?"

I haven't told Sadie about the kiss for two reasons. One, she will blow it out of proportion. Two, I don't know whether it meant something serious or not. Kai never said anything about it, never told me if he was doing it to wind me up or not.

By telling Sadie, she would go ballistic and convince me that Kai has feelings for me. And there's no way that's true. Kai can't like me like that, he just can't. All of our conversations have been arguments. I know nothing about him, he knows nothing about me.

I was attracted to Micheal because the more I learned about him, the more amazing he seemed. When I first met him, he was shy and sweet. If only I had seen it sooner that he wasn't what I thought. That his true self was hiding behind the curtain.

"Maybe later?" I suggest, removing Sadie's arm from my shoulder.

She pinches her lips together and reluctantly nods her head. "Should we go to drama?"

No, can we not?

If I said that, Sadie would demand to know why I really didn't want to go. She'd piece the two things together - my reluctance to go to drama and my unclear mind.

"Yes, let's go," I say with fake enthusiasm. Sadie gives me a suspicious look but I shrug it off. Together we head off to drama, with Sadie blabbering on about that blue-haired boy she met. Unlike most guys, I think she really likes this man. Is it lust or more? Maybe even love. However, if I ever mentioned the 'L' word, Sadie would freak and avoid him. She basically has a phobia of love.

"So did you hook up with him?" I ask her, interested.

Sadie smirks, giving me my answer.

The first thing I see when we make it to our class is Kai leaning against the wall. He smirks when he sees me and pushes himself off of the wall. Butterflies fly around in my stomach; the memory of his lips against mine crosses my mind.
