Chapter Twenty Nine
I'll Countdown To The Last Second

---

Five.....

"..remember to write down the questions on the board..."

Four....

"...make sure you study for your test..."

Three...

"...yes Jace, it does count as your final grade..."

Two..

"...yes, the questions on the board are your homework for tonight..."

One.

"...you are dismissed have a good rest of the-"

I ignored the rest and ran out the door. My bag bouncing up and down my back as I run the hallways and down the stairs. I needed to get out of that class.

Since Conrad gave me his stupid jacket, it's been constant whispering and under-the-breath side conversations.

I sneaked a peek at Conrad who was too busy intrigued into what the teacher was saying. Bet he's fucked her over too.

I snickered at the thought. I reach my locker and sigh. I throw my bag of my back and unlock my locker punching in my combination. I take out my next lesson things and take a quick look at my schedule. Maths, Geography then English. Bor-ing.

"I've missed you." He snakes his arms around my waist and kisses my check from behind me. I smile and turn around.

"I just saw you a little bit over an hour ago Kyle." He kisses my lips quickly, trailing to my cheek leaving his lips there to liger for a second.

"I know..." His eyes trail down my body and to my jacket. Shit. "Melody, is that-"

"Yes." My eyes widen, I touch my lips. I didn't say that. I open my mouth to say something but my eyes lead to the boy standing on my left a metre away from us. He takes a step closer.

"Take it off Mel." Kyle demands. I bite my lower lip taking it off and holding it in my arms, hugging it to my chest.

"Kyle, he was just being nice. I was cold in French and he was just being a good friend and lent me his jumper." I say in one breath. I hug it closer to my chest breathing in his sweet scent.

"Why..." He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. My body grows hot and I do what -- I except -- Kyle wants me to do and give it to Conrad. I walk up to him as Kyle stares at the ground, lost in thought.

"Thanks." I mumble quietly. I hand him the jumper, and for that briefest second our hands touch and butterflies fly in my belly. But it was gone as soon as the feeling came.

I walk back to Kyle who is staring at Conrad. "Stay away from her Conrad." He says obviously pissed off.

"Kyle, I'm not a little girl. I can take care of myself." Now I'm the one getting ticked off. "Conrad knows I don't like him, right Conrad?" I look back at him. He rolls his eyes and nods.

"Whatever." I groan and wave him away.

"Conrad get lost. Seriously." He scoffs, mumbles something I didn't understand and walks away. I turn to Kyle.

He looks up at me and I place my hand on his cheek. I'm a stupid person. Kyle is a nice guy. I shouldn't be doing this to him. I take a deep breath calming my nerves, trying to ignore the itchiness in my nose. I love Kyle. And I'm not going to let some fucked up feelings for a player get in the way of my true and proper feelings for a person I actually love and like a lot get ruined by some player who thinks he can just get in the way of people's love life.

I sigh and look at his eyes. "Kyle, I'm over Conrad. Yes, I'm saying the truth when I say he's the past. Yes, I can say truthfully I don't like him. Yes, I kissed him. Yes, I thought it meant something but today when my lips touched yours I know that my feelings for him are nothing compared to mine to you. Yes, I got drunk yesterday. Yes, I do love you. Everything I said is true and right now all I can say is I love you not Conrad. Not ever in a million years would I ever pick Conrad over you. Kyle, you mean something to me that I can't explain in words." I pause taking a deep breath. My nose was prickling and my hand was getting tired. "I love you Kyle, I don't know what it'll take for you to believe me but if I have to tell you everyday then so be it. I'll do it."

He stays quiet.
