What just happened?
***
I clutch my throbbing head as I walk out of the nurse's room. I had to run away from Kai who's acting as if I've been in some horrendous accident. Seriously, what is it with everyone? Even Adaline was acting crazy about me falling. Although I can't lie, I enjoyed seeing how bothered it made her.
She was so angry and so worried, it made my heart beat rapidly and I don't know why. Nor do I know why I kissed her. Why did I kiss her? We're both girls! Not to mention I absolutely despise her.
So why did it feel so good?
I shake my head ridding my mind of these ridiculous thoughts, it's only making my head throb even more. Thankfully, the hallway is mostly empty because school ended a while back.
At least, I thought it would be because as I'm walking, my eyes catch Adonis…making out with some girl by his locker.
I sigh and walk up to him. I lean against the lockers and clearly, neither of them realizes I'm standing here so I clear my throat.
They snap out of their trance and look at me, startled.
Well, Adonis looks startled, the girl doesn't care. I don't blame her; why would she care? She's not the one who's dating this asshole. I just walk back away, shaking my head.
Adonis does this often. He does it so obviously too that it makes me wonder how stupid he really must be.
Him cheating on me has never bothered me, I think it's because I'm not really a jealous person. Not to mention I know we're the perfect couple—logistically speaking—so who cares if he cheats?
Plus, it's not like I have a leg to stand on at the moment, I literally just had the best kiss of my life with a girl, Adaline Emery no less.
What have I done?
Chapter SEVENTEEN
A d a l i n e
AmI mentally unstable? Did I fall and temporarily lose all my senses, or am I just the dumbest person on the planet? Clearly, something is wrong with me because I just kissed Juliette Kingston…and I loved it.
Her nimble hands on my waist, those soft lips engulfing me in a kiss that was so passionate and hot, but so gentle at the same time. That kiss was something out of a movie. I felt pure desire rattling my bones and fireworks bouncing off every inch of my body.
How did this happen? Kissing Juliette? She is the worst person I know. What was I thinking?
Clearly, I wasn't thinking, like at all. It just felt so incredible and I couldn't stop it, now I'm here and it's all I can think about.
I've spent the last few days avoiding her at school and she's clearly done the same. Now, it's Friday night and I'm in the car with my friends, but I still can't stop thinking about her.
I've been hiding the kiss from my friends, which has been exceedingly difficult, because I don't hide much from them. I hate keeping secrets from them because I desperately want to talk to someone about the kiss. I need my friends to knock some sense into me and slap me silly for kissing Juliette.
“I'm so nervous for my match next week,” Aryan says, while chewing gum.
Victoria is driving while I'm in the passenger seat and Aryan is at the back. That's the downfall of being the only man in this friendship; he always sits at the back. He's a giant anyway; there's more space for him there.
“Don't be, there's no way you're losing,” I say gently, turning my head to the back, ignoring my own tumultuous thoughts.
Aryan is a wild beast when it comes to boxing, it's been his lifelong passion since we were kids. Right now, he boxes for one of the most notorious gyms in England. He often talks about going professional when we leave school this year and honestly, he has the ability.
“You're amazing in the ring; you have nothing to worry about,” Victoria says turning the car left and Aryan smiles at us.
We slip into silence as Victoria continues to drive. We're on our way to a party right now, thrown by the Lacrosse team captain, Alex.
I tend to stay away from parties thrown by the entitled kids at Richmond, I prefer partying with people who have actual personalities.
However, I do actually get along with Alex as I used to tutor him a few years ago, so I couldn't turn his invitation down.
