Playful Kiss xxx

Chapter 1

I was floating underwater, right to the bottom. For some reason I didn't even come up to take a breath but kept wanting to go deeper and deeper with no worries and no fear that something will happen to me or that I will die. As I went further down I could scarcely see something, was it a light? It looked so pure and innocent and I kept wanting to go deeper no matter how much it kept hurting me. As I got closer and closer to the light I could see the outline of a man, no it looked more like a boy, a pure, innocent boy. As much as I wanted to get closer my lungs felt like they were about to burst. They felt like they were on fire and even though I was underwater, the fire would not go out. My heart started to hurt. I could feel it slowly quietening. As I got closer just a little to see what that figure was I realised that this was the end. If I decide to try to save myself and go back up, my heart would eventually explode along the way so I might as well just carry on going further down. The thing came closer to me, so close that it… it kissed me? It felt short and sweet and very gentle.

I could finally see it. The figure. It was… it was..

"Chad,Chad mmmmmm Chad"

"Sonny, Sonneyy wake up. WAKE UP!"

"AGHHHH" I screamed. What the hell was that? Wait where am I? I looked around and saw a room full of desks and people sitting in chairs. The people were all being loud and either talking, laughing together or playing around like animals. Oooh, this was my class room.

"Saved you just in time there. You were mumbling about Chad again." Lucy said.

"Yeah, what do you even see in him anyway? He doesn't even notice you" said Tawni looking quite sympathetic.

These were my two best friends. Lucy and Tawni. They are the two only people who know my biggest secret. We've been best friends ever since first grade.

Let me introduce myself fully. My name is Sonny Monroe and I am 17 years old. I go to Condor High School and my class number is 7, in other words the lowest class. You see, in every year there are 7 different classes that are based on the ability of the student, starting from class number 1 all the way down to number 7. But the class that we hate and are our mortal enemies is class number 1. They think they are so clever (okay they are clever) and right (well mostly they are) and think they are better than us (they are), but that does not give them the right to push us around as if we are nothing.

My teacher's name is Ms Bitterman. She looks like an old hag but actually is quite nice but as they usually say 'being nice doesn't get you anywhere' that's the same with her. She doesn't give us work to do, no homework, she just lets us do whatever we want. She has tried a couple of times to get the class straight but gets distracted. Like one time when Tawni was straitening my hair (she wants to become a professional hairdresser) she came in the class and started shouting at us but then she saw that Tawni's work was actually quiet good and asked if she could do her hair. As Tawni was doing her hair, the principle (Mr Condor) caught her and took her to have a 'chat'. We never actually found out what he said to her but he didn't fire her.

So that's where we were now, in a noisy classroom that no teacher really cared about because we were always destined for failure when we came to this class. No-one in history moved up a class and if anyone did move it was because they transferred schools.

Soon after the "lesson finished" it was lunch time so we went to get our lunch in the cafeteria. We got our food and sat at one of the tables.

"So, Sonny, what jobs do you have in mind of working in." my friend Lucy asked.

"I don't know yet but I'll probably just carry on my dad's restaurant since it'd been passed down from my great grandma." I replied not really liking the idea.

"Ooohh, anyways, what about your house? it got built right?" Tawni asked me.

"Yeah, we moved all our stuff in and even James came and helped out." When I said that both Tawni and Lucy turned to each other and giggled like little school girls.

"What. What's so funny?" I asked truly curious.

"Well, I wonder why he always runs by your side ever since you talked to him on the first day of high school." Now I knew why they were laughing.

"Look, it really isn't what you're thinking, we're just friends and anyway, I don't think of him in that way." I told them.

"Yeah 'cause you're too busy admiring Chad when you have a great opportunity with James." I just rolled my eyes at that comment.

"Hey girls, what you talking about?" James appeared from nowhere and sat down next to me and slung his arm round my shoulders like he always does to the three of us (but mostly to me).

"What's with the weird atmosphere?" he asked again looking at each of us then stopped at me expecting an answer.

"Oh it's nothing, just wondering if we will come last in list of exam results again" I lied, but I did have that in mind.

"Pshhh, yeah obviously. We are all in class 7 so no one should even expect to get in the top 50 in the whole year because you'd only be disappointing yourself." He said proudly that he could acknowledge the fact.

"Wow thanks James" I said sarcastically

"What? It's a fact" he replied.

"So, you guys coming to my house on Thursday after school?" I asked. They've been wanting to come ever since I moved into my newly built house which was last week. Today was Monday the worst day of the week but in two days my friends would be coming over.

"YEAH!" they all screamed but I just had smile at the view in front of me. They all looked like little happy children, as if their mom told them they were about to go to Disney land.

I could feel pairs of eyes staring at us probably because they heard the childish screaming. But one pair was burning holes in me. That's how intense he staring was from a certain someone. But I didn't dare to turn round just in case it was someone that I didn't want to see. That's how much of a wimp I was.

Soon James left and we started our girl talk for the rest of our lunch.

"Hey, this was so much fun," Tawni exclaimed. "Why don't we meet tonight?" she asked and Lucy also looked hopeful.

"Ummm…. Ok fine but I'm still just fixing some extra things in the house and putting them into the right places." I said.

"That's okay, we'll help" Lucy volunteered.

"But what about James, he also wanted to come?" I asked.

"Don't worry about him; he wouldn't want to come to a girls sleep over anyway." She replied confidently.

"Okay then, I guess you guys can come"

Later on, we finished school and we all started walking out to go home. But something looked strange. I didn't notice this before but I saw this guy go home as well at the same time as us. It was Chad. He never leaves at the same time as us. He either leaves earlier because he finished all his work for the day or he leaves later with his whole class (since class number 1 have to always be top at everything, they go to an afterschool session although it's not just for members in class 1, no one else is bothered to go) but this time he actually left at the same time as the rest of the school.

He turned back one to see my eyes staring at him and he just ignored it and carried on walking while all the girls were fainting and admiring him when he walked past.

The thing about Chad was that he was not a player but almost like one. He was the most good looking boy in the school, all the boys wanted to be him or be friends with him and the girls wanted to date him. But he was mean to girls, but not just any girls. He was mean to any girls apart from the ones in his class. No one knows why but it just is a fact. He did have a lot of friends that were girls and boys but they were all from his class and snobs.

"Soonney, stop daydreaming about Chad again and let's just get to your house" Tawni shook me out of my trance.

We got to me house and both my friends loved it. They were running about in the spacious rooms since we still hadn't put everything in its place yet. They helped put the last remaining things in places and my dad then made his famous prawn noodles. Yum. You've probably notice that I still haven't talked about my mom, well that's because she's not here. She died when I was very young, although I am sad; I don't remember much so it's not as painful knowing she's not here. When we ate dinner the girls decided to stay over for the night just talking to each other so that's what we did. We carried on where we left off.

"So, Sonny, when do you ever plan on making a move on Chad?" Tawni asked.

"I don't know, I didn't really plan." I told her truthfully.

"But you have to do something, he doesn't even notice you"

"Yeah, thanks Tawn" I gave her a fake hurt expression. Although it didn't feel good that Tawni said that, what made me feel worse was that she was right.

"No I didn't mean it like that. It's just that you know how he looks down on all the girls apart from the ones in his class." That was also which made it much harder for me.

"I don't know what to do. Should I just go and tell him" I asked hopeful.

"WHAT? NO, never." Lucy screamed.

"You can't just go and tell him. It will just be putting yourself down. And what if he gives you an answer straight away, that can't be very good either." Tawni explained.

"How about writing a letter to him and slipping it into his locker?" I asked again waiting for their opinion.

"Umm… Yeah… Yeah that's not a bad idea" Lucy told me.

"You can also write out your phone number and gat your answer that way. If he calls it means that he also likes you. If he doesn't then the answer wouldn't be as painful as him telling you upfront." Tawni once again explained the outcomes of the idea.

We all went to bed and I just couldn't take the idea out of my mind. I knew that if I thought about it too much I would eventually back out. So at that moment I got a piece of paper and with my best handwriting I started writing the letter.

Dear Chad

You probs don't know me bt my name is Sonny in class 7.

Ummm… Im not too good at telling my feelings straight up but I wanted to just say dat I really, really like you.

You are always the theme in my dreams and even though you never noticed me, I can't ever miss you.

When you're around I see no one else but you.

You are da fireworks in my life, always exciting to look at and never get boring.

Love Sonny 3

Sonny's number: 678 999 8212

There, I did a quick letter. I didn't even look twice at it since I know that I would just rip it up and then never even write a letter again. I slipped it into my school bag and went to bed.

The next day I got super excited and got up so early. I quickly took a shower and started drying my hair and put my uniform on which was a blue chequered skirt, a white shirt, a striped pink tie (Mackenzie falls uniform). But to make it my own style I wore some army boots, a black vest and some pretty dangling earrings that fit my outfit. I tied my hair up in a messy ponytail and then decided to wake up the girls.

"Come on Tawni, Lucy, wake up." Lucy woke up as soon as I called her but to wake Tawni up I had to shake her until she could get up.

Me and Lucy went downstairs to have some breakfast while Tawni took ages applying her make-up and getting ready. After me and Lucy finished our cereals, we had to drag Tawni from the mirror and go to school.

After we got to school, Tawni and Lucy went to class while I quickly went to Chad's locker. I took the letter out of my bag and put it into his locker. And I quickly ran back to my class so no one could catch me.

"Sonny where were you?" Lucy asked.

I explained to Tawni and Lucy that I wrote the letter and put it in Chad's locker. They started freaking out.

"W-what? Sonny, you should have got us to check it first, you know how you are with writing" Lucy said loudly.

"Yeah, although you are a bright child, you can make mistakes when writing" Tawni agreed.

"So did you double check it?" Lucy asked.

"Umm… No. I just wrote it quickly last night." I said quietly.

"Oh god!" Lucy exclaimed. "Lets just hope that this was your best piece of work this whole year."

…

Two lessons passed but no sign of Chad.

…..

Break time passed but still no sign of Chad.

…

Another two lessons passed and it was Lunch.

…..

"Did he call yet?" Tawni asked.

"No" I replied.

"Are you sure you wrote down your number?" she asked again.

"Yes" I answered her in the same tired tone.

We just sat at our normal table that we always sit in but surprisingly, James and his crew were not here. James has his own friends but they like to also hang around with us.

We were all just sitting silently not eating our lunch just waiting…

And waiting…..

Was it just me or was this lunch very long?

And then he came.

He was coming down the hall by himself and you could hear all the girls back chatting about how cute he was. That's how you knew he was coming this way. It was like all the girls were dominoes and were falling at his presence.

Once he came to my view I was once again mesmerised. He was coming, walking this way. He gave me a glance but then he gave another girl a glance. He didn't notice me. It was just a regular thing he did.

Then he started turning the corner and walking up the stairs probably to his next class.

"Sonny, what are you doing? Call him." Tawni encouraged.

"I-I cant" I was too scared what he might say.

"Sonny, SOOONNY, SONNY!" Lucy called out so she could get his attention.

"Stop screaming my name" I whisper yelled at her.

"Maybe he doesn't know who you are in the letter." Explained Lucy and carried on screaming my name.

"SONNY!" Lucy yelled one last time before I clasped my hand over her mouth.

"I think that's enough." I glared at her.

"Yeah I think so too." Came an angel voice from above… actually above the stairs.

Chad started coming down the stairs.

"So you're Sonny?" he asked me looking kind of tired. I just nodded silently.

"You've got my attention so what is it that you want?" he asked quite annoyed.

Lucy pushed me in front of her scared of him.

"Umm…" I started off, "I was wondering if you found a letter in your locker this morning" I almost whispered since I didn't want the crowd surrounding us to hear.

He smiled a smug smile and laughed a bit. Laughed.

"Oooohh, that." Was he always this rude?

He looked through his bag and took out a perfectly neat envelope just like I left it this morning.

He gave it to me.

He started strongly at me, waiting for something. Everyone was quiet which made it worse because whatever I said next will be heard.

I gulped.

"You replied?" I asked him.

He just nodded with no expression.

He was still waiting for something.

"Should I look at it now? Here?" he answered me again with an expressionless nod.

My heart was pounding. What did he write? Is it good? Is it bad? Should I really look at it now?

All these questions were popping up. Half of my heart was just pounding because he simply bothered to reply but the other half was scared to death.

What should I do?

I realized every one was still waiting for me and so was he. Maybe if I would just wait for the bell to ring and go to class I will be saved. But I couldn't do that. I decided I might as well just get it over and done with it now.

I opened the envelope and took the piece of paper out.

I opened it up and couldn't believe what I saw….

Hope you guys liked my first chapter.

This isn't my original idea. I did get it from a Korean drama I watched. It was sooooo good that I just had to write it out and make it my own.

I did change the story a bit to make it my own.

I know I haven't written in a while and I will also be carrying on with the other story 'Who knew that you were right next door to my heart' (hopefully)

Please tell me what you thought of this story. The next chapter should be more interesting.

You can also ask me any questions if you didn't get anything.

Please review.
