Falling for a Cloud

Chapter 2

Our kiss lasts what seems like a second.  I know it was somewhere around 30 though.  And that was 30 seconds longer than any kiss that I thought I would've had with JC.  I can't believe how easily let him in.  Maybe it was because I knew him so well, but to him, I was just another fan.  I don't know what we have become in the short day that I have seemed to barely share with him.  I had kissed only two other guys in my entire life.  My middle school boyfriend, and my old highschool boyfriend.  Our kisses only lasted a maximum of 5 seconds, and here I am, kissing a pretty much strange for a straight 30 seconds.   But when I saw him in person,  I could tell.  That something more was going to comee out of seeing him.  I feel a weird connection with him in some way.  I feel like I've known him for a thousand years, when in reality, I've known him only a couple hours.  I don't think he feels the same, but wouldn't that be nice.  

"Whatcha thinking about?" JC is twiddling with his thumbs as I come back from my thoughts.

"Whut? Oh, nothing.." I'm just as embarrassed and nervous as I imagine he is.

"So, what now?" I add, I hate that weird and awkward silence. Just as I finish, Sam walks in to the room with Kian.  I never had a crush on Kian, but always found him histarical.

"Hi Kian, I'm Lia.  I watch your videos and find you hilarious." I smile and get up to give him a handshake, but he pulls me in for a hug.  I guess that's just what he's used to.  

"See, I told you. She's pretty, and nice." Sam gestures to me, and my face goes red and he chuckles at my embarassmet. Kian smiles at me and looks over at JC, raising a brow.  I look over at JC as well and he shakes his head.

"Well, let's get out of this hotel. I don't like to stay in one place." I smile as Kian talks to all three of us and I'm happy to be friends with all of them.  Who knows what'll happen! We all walk out of the hotel and they all get on penny boards.  I had never learned and this made me quite nervous.  JC takes one look at me and gives Sam a head nod toward me. I still had my mini skirt and v-neck on, but had changed into my white high topped converse.  Sam gets off his penny board and gestures for me to get on.  I politely deny the offer but he insists and I try to explain that I don't know how to. 

"Awww, I'll show you how.  All you have to do is hold onto me, and stand on the board of course." He smirks and JC shoots him a glare.  The tables have shifted.  I had thought that JC might've liked me,  but then again,  he wasn't the one to offer to help me.

"Haha okay." I smile and get on the board.  I had learned a bit from the neighbor guys at my old house.  But never really got into it that much.  I liked it here in KC.  I figure I would like California even more.  Sam places him hands on my hips and I place mine on his shoulders. He basically pushes me the whole way and we talk about all of his videos and he suggests that I start a channel and makes me promise that he can be in the first one.  By the time we reach the mall, I'm almost completely doing it myself, and my face is red from all the laughter caused by Sam.  We walk into the mall to join JC and Kian who hadn't bothered to wait for us.  Sam slinks his arm around my waist as he walks, I don't say anything because he's been the sweetest out all three of them tonight.  My thoughts have slightly changed towards JC now that I see his sour attitude tonight.  I don't think I could even say I've had a conversation with Kian.  We catch up to JC and Kian, I can practically feel Sam's smirk as JC's eyes widen at the sight of Sam's arm around me.  To be honest, it kind of served him right for kissing me, then being a complete jerk to me after.  

"Jesus Sam. You and your charm." Kian rolls his eyes and I become slightly uncomfortable and uneasy in my situation.  Does he do this a lot? Is he just trying to fool with me? Am I being used to increase JC's jealously? I honestly don't know what they see in me.  I mean my best friends have always told me I was 'drop dead goregous', but they always over-exaggerated everything.  I mean I wore sweats one time,  and they said I looked like sh**.  I never took it personally.  So all that week, I wore sweats, just to annoy them.  Is that what Sam is doing to JC? Trying to annoy him?
