"Evie , what happened ?" Evie fastly fixed her eyes on me but still I knew she wasn't listening . She was just hearing .
" I had my first kiss !" She said and blushed laughing .
"Ooooh , Who was the boy ?" I was not interested in talking about kiss...
Mal POV: I stared at him . I could stare at his freckled face till tomorrow .. I could count them all . I could scan his sparkling eyes till morning, without blinking .. My knee was touching his' and it felt weird but I couldn't move . I slowly squeezed my hand on his and rubbed my fingers with his . I smiled as he was froze , staring at me . But I couldn't kiss him ... I couldn't ! "Are you hungry ?!" I asked and moved back . Carlos gasped and sighed . "No .. I'm not ." Carlos answered and looked down .. I felt that his heart was broken but we both knew it .. We couldn't kiss . I mean it would be really awkward and .. What if someone found out ? "I'm just so tired .. Maybe I should just .. go .. Go home !" He said and stood up . I gulped ; No ... He shouldn't leave again ! "Are you serious ?" I asked . "What ?" He asked and turned around as he was holding his shirt in his hands . "You're gonna leave ?!... Your mother's gonna kill you !" I yelled at him . He slightly smiled ; He knew that I wasn't really trying to convince him to stay because of his mother ; I wanted to cuddle with hij till tomorrow , feelings his perfume's smell embracing me . "I'm used to it !" He said and shrugged . "No ! You can't be used to getting hurt !" I said and suddenly grabbed his hand . He looked at my hand and smiled . He grabbed mine too and I stared at his big happy eyes . I looked at his lips again .. I don't want to .. I don't want to ruin everything in the first day ... I wanted to touch his pouty lips and stare at them , untill the moment I understand their beauty and perfection but ... I couldn't . He looked at mine too... But as soon as I hit the sad truth of us being a couple will never happen , I stepped back and cleared my throat . I'm sorry , Carlos .. I'm really sorry . We couldn't show that we know the truth .. Because love wasn't meant to be hidden . But we couldn't show it too ... I mean I thought like that ..! I was scared of holding his hand infront of others especially pirates ! I was scared of getting bullied by them because of dating someone . But atleast I could open my mouth to say :" Please stay . I'm scared your mother will do so much worst things than previous times ...!" I knew my voice trembled but I almost had shown all of my weak points infront of him . This wasn't a thing . But to be honest no one has ever seen me crying so much or being so emotional so he was kinda the first person who saw me like this , as I was holding his hands . "Alright , alright . But where should I sleep ?" He said and sighed . "I won't let you sleep on the floor . You will freeze on the ground !" I said and smiled . "Then .. I'm sleeping beside you again ?..." Carlos asked and I could see that he couldn't even blink . It was like he was nervous ! "Yes...I guess ." I answered , murmuring . Carlos shook his head and said :" I don't think I'd like to disturb you , Mal ." I pursed my lips and stayed silent . What should I say ? "But !..." He said and continued :" If you want to , Okay !" He sat on my bed and leaned on the wall , looking at me ... Without saying anything in compelete silence .. "What ?" I asked and raised my hands , smiling awkwardly . "You don't want to sleep ?" He asked and touched the bed's empty part which I always slept on , with his palm . "I .. Uh ... Beside you , Right ?" I asked and I stuttered . I hated stuttering .. Especially infront of Carlos ! He cracked up and said :" Yes ! Beside me !" He was smiling in a very charming way I couldn't reject . "Uh... Okay ." I said and sat beside him . I didn't want to face him or make any eye contact because then , I wouldn't stop myself and kiss him . I turned off the lights and suddenly , I heard a thunder clap ; It was really loud and annoying ! And the lightning ... lit the whole alley and permeated my house . Carlos bounced back and towards me , hearing the thunder . I laughed and said :"Please don't tell me that you're scared of storm ..." Carlos turned around as he was wrapping his arms around my hand , shivering . "What ? Aren't you ?!" Carlos asked . "I love them ! They are so terrifying !" I said and looked at the lightning shining through the room's floor through the stainded glass window . "You like scary things ?" Carlos asked . I giggled and shook my head as yes . I mean my mom was so many people's nightmare and so am I .. Why wouldn't I love scary things ?! "Well ...I don't ..!" He said and pushed his head towards my chest . I caressed his hair . "Calm down , Carlos ... Thunder can't reach you here .. No danger can reach you here !" I said as my mouth slowly touched his soft hair . His curly hair tickled my nose and I could smell that special scent he always smelled like . ACarlos' special smell ... I slowly fell asleep and closed my eyes . In the middle of the night , I woke up without no reason and when I saw Carlos , I couldn't stop myself from slowly kissing him on his cheek . But then I slept again , dreaming about the kiss which happened seconds ago . It was good that he didn't wake up ... Now that he was sleeping , with his head leaned on my chest and his hands wrapped around my waist I could sleep so much happier than I could ever .. It felt like in peace ... "Mal !" I heard a familliar voice and it echoed in my ear so I woke up . It was Carlos ... "Wake up ! We're gonna be late for school !" He said and bent down and stared at me . He was wearing his jacket and usual outfits . "I don't care !" I said and turned my back on him . He sighed and I felt like he sat behind me on the bed . I didn't move ... Suddenly I felt like he was really close to me and .. When I opened my eyes , I gasped . He was right there , beside me ; His face was so close to mine and his warm breaths smelled like toothpaste and burned my nose . He saw that my eyes are opened and widened and smiled ; Then he said :"Good morning , Mal !" T
hen I slowly leaned back and pushed myself towards the bed's headboard trying to disappear because it was so awkward being so close to him . "Good morning ?." I said and stood up . Carlos looked at me and smiled . "You should stop staring at me... That's weird ." I said and walked through my mirror . I mean I combed my hair and that was the only reason I had a mirror in my room ! Carlos stood infront of the mirror and asked :" Why ? Don't you love me too ?" He sounded innocent and kind in that way .. "Uh.. I do . I mean .. Yes .. but even if we know that Evie and Jay have understood too we shouldn't -" - They know it ?! Carlos yelled happily as his voice cracked . "Yes but .." I answered but he suddenly grabbed me by my waist and pushed me towards himself . "Then we are free , Mal ! There's no one we should hide from anymore !..." He said smiling and looking at me , blowing his breath in my face . "I ... uh . Carlos , what about everyone else ?" I asked sadly . "What about them ?" He asked . Ofcourse he couldn't understand how I felt scared by being like that , infront of everyone ... "You're right ." I said ; Or should I say I lied . He wasn't right ... I couldn't act like a girl who loves ! It was a failure for my mom . She would hate me ... I slowly bent down and grabbed my bag . Carlos held my hand , smiling as his cuspid white teeth shined just like cartoons ! We exited the house and as we arrived at the front door , I pulled my hand out of his' . I saw Harry standing at the front neighbor's house' door . Carlos looked at me and sajpid :"What happened ?" I still was staring at Harry in embarassment . He smirked seeing Carlos' hand close to mine . Carlos looked at me and then Harry . He murmured :" Mal , Lets go !" I shook my head and followed him out of the alley .
