Chapter 3. This wasn't supposed to happen...

I've entered the school, heard a lot of whispers, and received a lot of death glares when I was entering my class. Well, this is new. The fact that I didn't receive another prank on opening my locker and this is so much glare I received this day. It's weird.

I was already seating on my chair practically waiting for the teacher to arrive. This was my only class in the morning before lunch.

"Hey Steicy" to my surprise, I didn't expect this to happen. I didn't expect her to even talk to me.

"Nevia, what do you want?" I told her without any interest. I returned on reading the book I bought a couple of days ago.

"Well, what is the feeling to prank by Zachary in front of the crowds" Oh! So we're talking about this right now. Right, this morning?

"Nevia, I've been pranked by Zach for almost 3 years. There's nothing new about it" I don't have any mood to talk about these things. I've put my things in my bag and stand up from my chair. I don't have the mood right now to enter my only morning class this day. I know Nevia will surely tease me if I don't walk away from this situation.

"Ohh c'mon Steicy. Do you even think that Zach would love you?" she yelled while I was walking out of the class. I bumped one of the people who are actually in the same class as mine but I decided to still lower my head and walk out from the scene. I was already near outside the campus when I was pulled by someone.

I looked at him with nothing but hatred. I hope that this scene would go so fast. I don't want to talk to him, not today and not for the rest of my life.

He just stared at me with a questioned look. He was about to say a word but decided not to talk. After a minute, his questioned look become a concerned look.

"I don't have time for this," I told him and started to walk past him. I didn't hear any word from him and I think that was good. I let myself drag myself to the field, sitting on the ground with the tree covering me from the heat.

This wasn't the usual me. I enjoyed myself being with Sam and not being lonely. I enjoyed talking to others constantly and not keeping a distance from them but something changes when people around you gain popularity. It's easy for them to throw things and leave them.

"Steicy" someone called me. I searched for the person who called me and when I finally found who it is, it put me into a small smile. He was already running from where I am. I'm guessing his class just ended.

"Lucas" I greeted him when he arrived and take a seat by my side.

"So why are you here? I thought you still have a class?" he asked with his concerned eyes looking straight at me

"Ah, something just happened. I don't want to talk about it" I said. He just gave me a nod and let me breathe for a while.

"Well, aren't you hungry? It's almost lunchtime" he reminded. He started to get up and offer me his hand. I took it and nodded at him to escort me through the cafeteria.

"Steicy" someone called me before I entered the cafeteria. I looked back to see Sam running to us.

"Shall we go in?" Lucas asked us and push the door for us to enter. A lot of students are already at the school cafeteria at this hour.

I was about to take one of the strawberry cakes on the counter when someone snatched it from me, only to find out that Zach was behind me and was already eating the cake. I didn't bother to say a word, it will only get things worse. I took another strawberry cake and with a flash, my cake was already snatched again. And yes you got it right! By Zach again.

"What's your problem?" I really can't believe that this guy still put up the same annoying stunts over the past 3 years. I can't believe I was able to put up to these things.

"C'mon Steicy, I've been doing this for almost 3 years and yet you just notice it by now?" this smirking face of him is getting out of hand. Sometimes I just want to rub it away on his face.

"I didn't notice just now, you jerk. I just had enough -- you with all your annoying me all the time" I blurted out. Wow! I can't believe that this feels nice to shout at this guy

"Glad you notice it," he said and turn his back on me. I stomped my feet to the ground. This isn't fair, he always gets the last words then turns his back on me. This guy just can't stop on whatever he was doing to me this past 3 years, and it's getting to my nerves already.

Just before I walk away from the cafeteria, someone grabs my wrist and pulls me closer to him. As I started to flinch from the soft feeling I felt touching my lips. Involuntarily, I've closed my eyes not even having a second thought -- I began to respond to his kiss. I can taste the minty flavor from his breath, his wavy hair, and the strong smell. Of course, I know it's a boy. He's wearing a leather jacket for pete sake and I can smell a strong smell from him. The kiss didn't last long as it feel like centuries to me, I slowly open my eyes only to find his blue eyes staring at me with his infamous smirk on me.

"I guess you've enjoyed it Icy" he whispered in my ears and pat me on my shoulder then leave me stiffened, standing in front of the whole bunch of crowds.

Ohmyghad! This just happen, why did all of this just process just now? What have I done? I've even closed my eyes! I've even responded to the kiss. Why didn't I even let myself, see whom I'm kissing? Holy cheese cows!

I sprinted my way out of the cafeteria and drag myself to the field. Really? Why did he even do that? Is pranking me isn't enough?

"Icy" I turned my back only to see him staring at me without any emotions besides guilt

"Zach" the only words that came out of my mouth
