Fate

Chapter 4

I sat in my desk and waited. Kye was just coming in and he sat next to me. I suddenly felt that awkward feeling you get when you don't know what to say and he just felt different all of a sudden. I looked at him then at the board and copied down the note(though I didn't need to). I kept looking over at him and we made eye contact at one point. We just looked at each other in the eyes, keeping our faces unreadable, then looked away. I could hear Kevin in the back whispering to Jason. Boys.
After class we went to the lunch room and had lunch together with his friends. They didn't talk about the eye contact, which was good because I didn't want to talk about that. I said nothing the whole lunch hour and went to my next class when the bell rang. I didn't see Kye until last period, then after that we walked home.
Walking home was so awkward since second period that we didn't say anything. Like something was keeping us from talking. I looked over at Kye right as he looked at me. We stopped walking and just looked into each other's eyes for awhile. Then, out of nowhere, he grabbed my shoulders, pulled me towards him and kissed me!
He kissed me right on the lips!
I felt like I was melting and my eyes were popping out of my head! Whao. I haven't been kissed for a few hundred years. It was a rush.
He let me go and stepped awkwardly back, "I'm sorry...um, I don't know what came over me, it's...I don't know how to explain..."
"It's like we have a connection?" I suggested and he nods. I smiled softly, still dazzed from the kiss, "It's okay. Um..."
The awkwardness just intensified.
"I'm sorry Tomai," Kye said, "I just felt we had a connection and I don't know what I'm feeling anymore. I feel like I'm cheating on (name here) when I look at you. I don't know what I'm feeling and I don't want this to be awkward between us, and-"
"It's alright Kye," I stopped him, "She wants you to be happy. If...whatever this is...makes you happy, I'm sure she'll want nothing more."
He smiled and nodded. He looked at his shoes then at me, "Um, so do you want to go out then?"
My heart is MEEEELTING!!!!! First he kissed me, and now was asking me out! I felt like I could fly! But I had to stay calm, "Okay," I said with a smile and a nod.
Best. Day. Ever.

The day came.
The day of Kye and I's first date. I was slightly freaking out. We were going to go see a movie. I don't know what movie, Kye was keeping it a surprise. It's been a week since our kiss and people noticed a change in us. We sat closer to each other, we did more together. We looked like a couple by the day of our first date. I was nervous and so was he.
Some girls at school gave me pointers and helped me find a nice outfit to wear to the date. Kye and I decided to not dress all fancy for it, but I still wanted to look nice. The girls found a nice pair of jeans and a simple blouse. I got new shoes as well that were simple black flats. I waited at the movie theater for Kye. I was so nervous that people could see it coming off of me. I never been on a date! What do I do? What do I say? I don't know!
Soon Kye showed up and he bought the tickets and popcorn. We sat down together and watched the commericals play as we waited for it to start. Soon the lights went down and the movie started.
It was a romance comedy with alot of characters, love triangles, and plots with in plots. I don't know why he picked this movie. It was so boring and the jokes weren't at all funny. He must have thought I would like it.
I looked over at him, and he looked at me. We said nothing but our eyes said it all. I finally looked away and at my shoes. He looked back at the movie.
Kye did that whole stretch-arm-over-shoulder thing on me, and I layed my head on his shoulder.
Then I remembered.
I can't fall in love. I'll only hurt him when I tell him I have to leave. And I haven't told him yet. I haven't once mentioned that I was only here to tell him his fate.
My heart sank and I felt so sick.
