Crush

puzzle piece

I was pushed back my none other than Nicole.

" Are you ok?!?!" She panicked.

Andrew smiled and nodded his head," Yes I'm fine." He stood up and walked towards the bathroom with Nicole.

I couldn't help but feel like shit.

" Hello."

I turned around and saw Grayson

I ignored him and continued to walk.

He grabbed my shoulder.

" I called for you."

" What do you want?"

" I want a do over for the kiss you owe me."

" You cheated you weren't supposed to get that basketball."

" Now you see how much I care for you."

" Shut up!"

" Your little boyfriend doesn't look too happy."

I slammed my locker and walked into the girls bathroom.

I went into a stall and waited a while.

" Did you see that girl! She kissed Grayson and wasn't she dating Andrew?!?" Said one of the girls in a high pitched voice.

" Yeah she's just another slut she doesn't deserve any of them."

This pissed me off but I kept my cool.

Andrew: can we talk

Relief flooded over me

Me: please

Andrew: at door 4

Me: ok

I ran to the door and there he was with his hands in his pockets.

I walked closer to him.

" Hey...." I mumbled.

He shot a look at me and returned his eyes to the floor.

" Hi."

" About-"

" No I'll go first."

" But-"

" Sh, I'm sorry for ignoring you and I'm happy that you are with Grayson."

I groaned," Shut up Andrew!"

He looked at me surprised.

" Just let me explain," he nodded," That kiss meant nothing ok?we did it out of a bet we made, I told him that if he didn't score the last basket that he would pay me and he said if he won he would kiss me! But I knew you or someone would get it but he cheated and it's my fault and you got hurt and you ignored me and everyone hates me and you like Nicole?!?!" I screamed. Tears spilled from my eyes.

Andrew's eyes looked sad.

" Hey it's not your fault," he said trying to smile," He's stupid ok?"

I giggled embracing him in a hug.

At first he didn't hold me back but then his arms were tightly wrapped around me.

" April," he hesitated," I don't want to lie but you got me jealous for a second there."

I blushed and pulled away," You too with Nicole, people can't go around stealing my best friend."

A larger smile covered his face," I'm not done, I-i... Don't only see you as a friend ."

I took a step back.

" What do you expect me to say to that?"

He shrugged," I don't know."

" Look Andrew you are my best friend and you are a good person-"

" No I want to be more than that," he cut me off.

" I-I can't." I choked.

" Ok at least I tried I needed to say that." A tear rolled off his cheek and I had an urge to go over to him and wipe it off.

I walked away and cried all the way home. I had my book bag and my eyes were baggy.

I got to my door and I was about to open it when an arm snaked around my waist and pulled me into a soft kiss. When I opened my eyes it was Andrew. I placed my lips on his once again and held each side in his cheeks in my hands.

His hand held my back pushing me closer to him. The kiss was sweet but it was so full of emotion it made me want more. We parted and I looked up into his eyes.

" I needed this." He whispered.

I smiled as we touched foreheads.

" I think I prefer this kiss than Grayson's."

" You're smarter than I realized."

Before I could respond his lips met mine again like the two puzzle pieces they were. We sat down on the swing  and listened to talking to the Moon by Bruno. Then we kissed again.
