Some Mistakes Are Worth it

Prologue

I pushed my glasses back up my nose as my clammy hand began to slip from his grasp. He gave me a reassuring smile. We walked down the hall slowly. He's making sure everyone can see us together. I thought. I glared at him, he knew I didn't like this publicity. He simply smirked at me and hoisted his bag a little higher on his other arm. People were starting to whisper to each other. "Isn't that Jacob? Jacob Mandell??!"

"Who's that girl with him??"

"I think her name is Emma..?"

"Is that Emma James holding hands with Jacob Mandell?!"

"Holy sh!t!"

I felt myself flushing as people said my name and his over and over to each other. He winked at Dave and a few other boys as their mouths dropped open as we passed. I held my math textbook and my notebooks closer to my chest. My heart fluttered as he turned towards me at the end of the hall. The most unlikely couple in the school was about to make themselves official to the public. I still heard whispers.

"Wow. They aren't gonna last long."

"He's just gonna use her to do his homework for him."

"Seriously, she's a nerd and a geek! She has braces!"

"Haha, she doesn't know what's coming."

"He'll dump her real quick, trust me."

He ran his and through my hair. I smiled. They could say what they wanted to say. What we had was real, and genuine.

When he kissed me, I heard a gasp come up behind us. I guess there isn't any turning back now.I thought happily. I closed my eyes and savoured the kiss, my heart continuing to flutter.
