DECEMBER

narrator's pov:

was it all really a dream?, waverly thought.

as she began to get ready for their presentation, she couldn't stop thinking about her dream.

"do i actually feel that way? does he still love me?" waverly mumbled to herself.

the thoughts of jonah made her mind race, and she knew she had to stop thinking like that.

i love jack, and he loves me. i don't have any feelings for jonah, waverly thought, convincing herself that what she felt for jonah was all in the past.

-

unlike the dream, waverly managed to get to school on time. jonah smiled once he saw his fake fiancé walk in the classroom, but it wasn't the same smile that was plastered on his face in waverly's dream.

although, jonah handed waverly a pink and white bouquet.

"wait, how'd you know i always wanted a peony bouquet?" waverly asked, gesturing at her favorite flowers.

"i talked to lillian," jonah whispered, smirking.

the two completed their presentation, and received an a-plus.

"hey, you did great!" jonah remarked, stepping outside in the hallway with waverly.

"you too," waverly replied.

they smiled at each other, but waverly started to head back inside the classroom.

"wait!" jonah called out, grabbing her wrist.

he pulled her close, and they could feel each other's warm breath. their lips, centimeters away, but jonah kept leaning in.

their lips made contact, and it felt like the moment had lasted forever. waverly slowly pulled away, but ended up regretting it once a familiar voice shouted at them from the end of the hallway.

"what just happened?" jack shouted, running up to them.

"we're screwed," jonah mumbled.

"did you just kiss waverly?" jack asked jonah.

"um, yes?" jonah replied.

"are you kidding me?" jack scoffed, "waverly is mine, not yours."

"actually, you never asked her out," jonah sneered.

"guys," waverly joined, "can we not do this now? we're in the middle of class."

jack rolled his eyes.

"i'll explain everything, okay?" waverly reassured, putting her hand on jack's shoulder.

the curly-head flinched from the redhead's touch, "save it, waverly."

he stormed off, leaving waverly and jonah outside of their classroom.

...

a / n :

jonah and waverly finally kissed! hopefully, this makes up for their "almost-kiss" in chapter nine, but now there's some drama between jonah, waverly, and jack (:
