Lyra

As the music blared, I danced around the bonfire with Jun and the other teenagers there. Last years to be exact. It was fun to finally be free and in my own without any authority telling me what to do or how to do things.

Jun holds his hand out to me and I take it. He gives me a twirl before pulling me in. The days leading up to tonight Jun and I spoke almost the entire day. I do admit to having a crush on him, but I don't think it'll be reciprocated. He's too..perfect.

As we partied we hear police sirens heading our way. Bring underage and drinking, we scramble. Jun keeps my hand secured in his as we both book it to find a spot to hide. We make it to a diner and we walk in trying not to seem suspicious to the few people there.

We sit down and I clear my throat as we were handed menus. I smile to myself as I pretend to look at the menu. We see the police cars speed by and we set the menus down and laugh to ourselves.

"That was something." He smiles and I nod and set my hands in my lap.

"Well while we're here, what do you want?" He asks and I hum and look down.

"Hot chocolate." I say and he nods and orders two of them.

"Thank you for tonight Jun. Maybe we can keep in touch afterwards?" I ask as we stood in front of my house.

"Of course." Jun says and I smile and lightly bite my lip before nodding and looking down, my hair falling past my shoulder.

"I'll see you around." I say and head towards the door when he grabs my wrist lightly. I stop and look over at him.

He steps in front of me and leans down. We both meet each other halfway and kiss. It wasn't something that I expected to do but, I didn't mind. The door opens and we both jump seeing my dad at the door.

"Thank you for bringing her home safely." He says and Jun bows and steps away from me.

"My pleasure." He says and looks at me.

"Goodnight Jun." I smile and he returns it.

"Goodnight Ly."

I lay in bed and stare at my ceiling and smile. He likes me. Jun likes me back! Maybe now I can finally have someone to talk to other than my best friend and parents. I get a goodnight text from Jun and I send one back.

He likes me..
