Again there I was waiting for the feel of his lips but instead I feel his hand let go of me. I open my eyes and he was looking at me. Oh shit I probably looked like a fool, argh he made me look like a fool waiting for him to kiss me.

"You aren't strong.."

"Get out of my way Ruel." I cut him off.

He moves and I walk in. I can't believe I myself look stupid for some dumb kiss from him. I really thought he was different but he was just trying to play with my feelings. I sigh and walk to Kayla,

"Hey hoe!" She smiles and gives me a hug.

I hug her up but stay silent. I couldn't wrap my head around what just happened.

I was there standing there with my eyes closed waiting for the kiss he clearly showed he was going in for. Ugh forget it Madi!

"Ruel hey!" She runs and gives him a hug while I roll my eyes looking away from him.

I don't know what I wanted to, some part of me wanted to cry from embarrassment and rejection but I was also angry with him for leading me on and making me look stupid.

I feel him walk beside me, I move away to the other side of the table.

"I need to grab some things from the art room- I'll be back in 5 minutes. Could you guys just proof read my hypothesis and methods?" Kayla ask and smiles at us.

I nod and she walks out of the room. Great now I was stuck in here with him. I wouldn't have minded earlier but all over what happened- I didn't want to even see his face.

I try pick up her book but Ruel also had a hold of it. I let go it and cross my arms.

"Madi are you okay?" He ask.

What a joke! Am I okay? Of course not I just embarrassed myself you idiot! I roll my eyes and look outside the window.

"Madi?" He says softly.

"Stop trying to talk to me!" I snap at him.

"Come on, now we are back to square one." He puts the book down and looks at me.

He was right, this was exactly my attitude towards him when I first met him. Back to square one, maybe that's where we are supposed to stay. Maybe there's nothing to us!

"You made me look stupid Ruel!" I snarl before getting up and walking out of the room.

I go to the bathroom. Why do I feel like this? I knew I liked him but seriously do I like him this much? Enough to cry over it? I don't cry over many things and definitely not over boys.

All my life, I've stayed boy drama free after witnessing all of Bianca and Kayla's drama. I knew i didn't all that shit in my life but now I wanted to cry over this simple situation.

He didn't want to kiss you like you wanted to kiss him Madi! Get over it!

I try convince myself but I couldn't. Darn you Ruel! I thought he liked me too after all the efforts in puts in for teaching me how to swim, all his flirting and compliments. Why didn't he want to kiss me?

I call Bianca.

Ringing...

Bianca
Hello you better have a good reason to wake me up!

Hey B can you meet me at our coffee spot in 5 mins?

Bianca
Are you okay? Sure I'll be there.

I just need to talk to you and see you soon.

Bianca
See you soon girlie!

I hang up and walk out of the science building. I put in my AirPods and walk to the small cafe 2 minutes away from our school. I wait there for Bianca with music blasting my ears.

I still hear Ruels angelic voice singing while I played his guitar. Stop thinking about him Madi! Every second, every minute my mind would constantly think of him. Shit I'm really falling for him or maybe I already have fell- no.

I see Bianca approach me and I stop my music. She walks over, I had ordered her favourite drink.

"Hey you okay?" She asks again.

"I'm fine- it's just I wanted to spend time with you." I say.

I didn't want to mention anything about Ruel. I was planning on telling her my feelings for him but she'll probably do something to try her us together. I trusted her but I wanted to keep this a secret after all there is nothing between us clearly after today.

"You sounded sad and said you needed to talk to me!" She raises an eyebrow.

"You know I love pranking you and I will be talking to you over a latte- your favourite one." I smile.

"I am mad you woke me up for no reason but the latte fixes it." She sits down and takes a sip.

-Ruel's POV-
-10 minutes ago-

"You made me look stupid Ruel!" She snarl before getting up and walking out of the room.

I stand up, maybe I should run after but I stop myself- maybe she doesn't want me too right now. I'm so dumb, I should have just kisses her, I wanted too, so badly but I couldn't. I couldn't because of that one promise I made to myself. That one promise that I had left before I would leave.

But now I fucked things up with Madi. She wanted me to kiss me and that thought was even more tempting. I take a deep breath- I find myself falling for her more and more each day- I constantly wanted to be with her, make her happy and smile, compliment everything about her and most of all I wanted to kiss her. You'd think I'd give in after being so close to her, leaning in so close that your lips brush but no I always found a reason to pull away. That one reason- maybe I should just live myself with that reason.

It's the only thing I've ever promised myself.

-afterschool-

I left Madi to think for the whole day and stayed out of her. She was still angry at me. We had all walked to Haven street and we go out separate ways.

"Go ahead I'll be back." I say to Bianca and Kayla.

I run back and run after Madi.

"Madi?!" I call out to her.

She stops and looks back at me.

"Go away!" She rolls her eyes.

"I need to tell you something." I catch up to her and stand in front of her.

What will happen next?
