2 weeks have passed since Petra enrolled to the school and she gained popularity pretty quickly to say the least.
She was able to build a solid relationship with everyone around her and everyone seemed to love her presence, even me.
Petra was everything that I yearned, no.. wanted, to be.

Pretty.

Smart.

Kind.

Cunning.

Social Butterfly.

Confident.

She was the definition of perfect, and I couldn't help but feel jealous.
But at what cost?

School had just ended and I was waiting for Levi to come pick me up.
It was pretty much an everyday routine for us to go home together ever since we started dating.

Finally, after a few minutes of waiting, Levi arrived with his car.
Rolling down the front passenger seat window, I was surprised and a slight bit disappointed when I saw Petra sitting there;

"Hey, Eren!" Petra waved, greeting me cheerfully.

"I hope that you don't mind Petra tagging along with us for today." Levi spoke, gesturing towards her.

"No, no." I said, shaking my head. "I don't mind."

Opening the door, I sat in back and Levi started driving.
Humming to myself, I placed my chin onto my palm, admiring the view outside the window whilst Levi and Petra were chatting.
Not long after we started driving, sweet & playful giggling could heard throughout the car.
Glancing at the source, I couldn't but see Petra and Levi laughing about something.

Wait.. Levi?..

I've known him for so long, and he rarely smiles nor laughs.
He was like a statue, not a single emotion to be displayed on his face or in those piercing, steel eyes that could see right through your soul.
But last time I've seen him give someone a genuine smile, let alone laugh, was when we shared our first kiss..
I blushed at the thought, remembering the first time our lips connected, a cool breeze surrounding us.
Shaking my head roughly, I got back to my senses and brushed off my suspicions.

'I'm getting way to concerned..' I mentally reassured myself.

But the feeling doubt still lingers deep down.
I didn't want to lose my faith in him, he was like my other half, losing him meant losing myself.
I then attempt to distract myself by returning to my daydreaming.
I mean, there's no way he would ever do that to me.. right?

'No, no..' I told myself. 'Levi would never cheat, he's f̶a̶i̶t̶h̶f̶u̶l̶.'

Right...?

After dropping Eren off, me and Petra sat in silence for almost the whole ride.
We started nearing her house before she broke it off;

"Hey, Levi?" Petra spoke.

"Yeah?" I replied, eyes locked on the road ahead of me.

"How long have you and Eren been dating?" She questioned, putting extra emphasis on his name.

I glanced at the ginger from the corner of my eye, raising an eyebrow.

'Why was she asking that now?' I wondered. 'Something's wrong..'

Parking the car in front of her home, I ignored the bad feeling in my gut.
There was no harm in answering a simple question:

"Almost 2 years now." I answered. "Why are you asking?"

"Well, um.." She mumbled, twiddling her fingers with her head held down. "I just wanted to do this.."

Petra then, without warning, sat up and pulled me down into a gentle kiss.
Her soft, plump lips brushed mine, the taste of her lipstick lingered near.
Normally, in this kind of situation, I'd push her off and snap at her, saying that 'I have a boyfriend.' and spitting profanities at her.

But for some reason, I didn't..

Instead, I ended up kissing her back, completely forgetting about Eren.
His picture faded from my mind and all that I could think of was Petra.
Petra's breathing was slow and steady and the kiss soon turned passionate & sweet, but I gently pushed her off before it went any further.
We stared at each other for a moment, both of our lips swollen and the ginger's face flushed a stunning shade of scarlet.

"Levi.. I, um..-" She stuttered, lips trembling. "I shouldn't have done that knowing that you have a boyfriend..-"

"I'm sorry!" Petra frantically apologized, quickly reaching out for the door handle.

I grabbed her by the wrist, looking her straight in the eye.
Steel eyes meeting amber ones.

"It's no problem.." I said, avoiding her gaze. "I... actually liked it.."

Petra's eyes widened out of shock, large orbs glistening, almost like a pair of Citrine orbs.
She smiled brightly at me, her expression showing relief, before exiting the car.

"Thanks for the ride, Levi." She said, hand held behind her back. "We should do this again sometime."

"Sure.." I said, rubbing the back of my head.

Petra waved goodbye before skipping happily to her porch.
Waving back, I started the car engine.
On the while way back, I thought about the kiss.
It was a lot similar to me and Eren's first kiss two years ago.

Wait.. Eren..!

What have I done?!
Betraying his trust like that!

I ran a hand through my hair, tugging it in frustration of my foolish actions.
This needs to stay between me and Petra.. otherwise all of my credibility will be lost.

I cannot undo what I have done.

That is the regret that I will live with for the rest of my life.

Despite having written this, I feel like killing Levi so bad right now-
Anyways, sorry for the short chapter!

I have a lot of exams coming up and once they're over, I'll make sure to update more frequently.
(Also, I don't re-read these chapters- So don't mind the minor mistakes displayed onto here.)
