Tangled feelings

11 | Detention

"Have you talked with Zach yet?" Cassie asks me as Jordan, her and I make our way to our table at recess.

"Um yeah maybe I don't know." I mutter.

"You don't know?" Jordan asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Okay I didn't happy?" I huff and sit down at the table. Zach had been trying to talk to me since morning but I'm trying to avoid all conversations. I'm still basically shocked I kissed him! And everytime I look at I just want to kiss him again but I shouldn't and it's just so hard! And I'm just so embarrassed!

"You have to talk to him, you can't avoid him forever." Cassie says.

"Yeah but please don't start fangirling over my own species in front of me." Jordan says laughing. Me and Cassie join in and I look over at the doors to see Zach and Jace striding out. Get ready for another excuse to run off Luna! However when they pass by, Jace winks at me but Zach completely ignores my presence and walks past me without a word even when Jace calls, "hey loony!" I smile a strained smile to him in response and look away. I think Zach is also ignoring me now...

But I won't blame him, he's been trying to talk to me and making jokes to me, with me just ignoring him or giving him a small, fake looking smile. Yeah I deserve it...

"You should definitely talk to him." Cassie whispers and gives me a push.

"Hey!" I say, swatting her hand away.

"She's afraid she'll kiss him again, right Luna?" Jordan adds. I mean he's right... but I still glare at him. They both keep pushing me to go talk to him and eventually I stand up.

"You guys were the one setting me up on a date, why do you so badly want me to talk to him now!" I scoff, and fold my arms.

"Cuz you guys kissed." Cassie says in an isn't it obvious tone.

"Fine I'll go." I roll my eyes dramatically before making my way to Zach's table. He's sitting with Jace and a few other people though he still ignores me. Jace smiles up at me when he notices me.

"Hey loony whatcha doing here?" He asks, stuffing his face with food.

"I... uhm... came to... talk to," my eyes flit to Zach who's talking to the same girl at the party and grit my teeth.  "-Zach." He stops talking to the girl to look at me and I give him what I hope is an apologetic smile. When he keeps staring at me, I fiddle nervously with my shirt.

"So can we talk?" I question.

"Sure c'mon." He stands up and I see Jace smirk at him before returning to his food. He follows me as I lead him to an empty table and sit down on it. He sits down in front of me and I clear my throat while he folds his arms and waits for me to say something.

"I um just wanted to apologise." I begin nervously. He subconsciously licks his lips and looks at me expectantly to continue. It takes everything in me to look away from his lips. Oh god what was I saying again? I, as usual, lost all senses when he licked his lips. "I'd like to begin by saying I'm really really sorry I... kissed you and it was so very wrong of me," He opens his mouth to say something but I cut him off. "Even if I was drunk, it doesn't make an excuse for my actions. You were obviously having a lot more fun with that other girl and I ruined it for you."

"Luna you-" he starts.

"It was stupid really, and I don't want that to affect our friendship so I just want you to forget it ever happened okay?" I beg. He doesn't look convinced so I add another, "Please."
