Chapter 16


    I stood there, dumbfounded as I watched her walk away around the corner of the hallway.
Lucy had kissed me the other night, hadn’t she?
So that meant she liked me, right?
The girl mind was crazy and confusing.
I chased after the guy who had tripped Lucy, Jason.
“Man, what was that for?” I said, motioning to where Lucy had fell.
“Dude, she’s a prude.” He said as if it was so obvious.
“And that gives you the right to trip her to the ground?”
“Looks like you’re getting soft, man. Feelings are a killer.” Jason said, patting my shoulder and sauntering away after his friends.
But Lucy shouldn’t mean anything to me, right? She was just a girl.
~*~
A few weeks had gone by, and Lucy was driving me crazy.
She looked sad all of the time, she was avoiding my looks towards her, and the killer was that everyday I spent apart from her, the more beautiful she looked.
I didn’t want to admit it to myself, but I might have a teeny tiny crush on her.
Alright, a big crush, but I was so not used to this kind of stuff!
I never showed feelings towards girls; they always just came to me.
But I felt like Lucy was different, and that if I let her go she would never come back.
So Friday after school I searched for her at her locker, knowing she would be here because every week before this she stayed after to sort out her locker.
She was standing up and was brushing off her jeans form the dust she had cleaned out.
Her hair was in loose curls around her face, and her clothes hugged her body perfectly.
“Hey” I said softly as I came up next to her.
She closed her locker and gazed over to me. “Hi” she said meekly, looking down at the ground.
“Look Lucy-“
“No, Liam. I-I don’t want to talk about it. You know I like you, but I don’t know if you like me. And I’m not going to risk it.” There was a stern look in her eyes, showing me she had found some kind of strength.
“How can you say I don’t like you? You’re all I’ve thought about since that night!” The anger began to grow inside of me, partially with her for not being able to realize if, and partially towards me for feeling that way.
She looked up at me, the innocence showing in her eyes.
Being the person that I was, I acted on instinct.
I closed the space between Lucy and I and leaned her carefully against the locker.
I looked deeply into her eyes, and watched them droop closed.
I bent down and softly kissed her lips ever so gently.
She didn’t immediately reciprocate, but after a moment she did.
I placed one hand on her hip and the other on the locker behind her while her hand cupped my bicep, showing me that she didn’t mind the affection.
 
Alright, so a very abrupt ending, but I wanted this to continue into the next chapter, so I ended it here!
How about THAT for a welcome back!!! I’ll most likely update again later tonight.
Please fave or comment, whatever you like! And show me that people are reading, please!
And tell me what you guys would like to see! Because I’m not positive about how to continue!
