I yawned. Stupid feelings. Why can't everything be easy? I yawned again. I woke up at seven at the sound of Kate's silent but prescient knocking. I barely made it through an awkward breakfast. Will and Kate didn't ask what happened after I went to bed and Kate didn't bother to tell Will about it. Will gulped his orange juice down in blissful ignorance. It was better he wasn't in this drama. Kate agreed and kept her mouth shut. Will glared lightly at me and downed his bacon with rough rips. I decided to get out early and, since I had nowhere to go except school, I found myself there waiting for bravery and Nessie to show up. She pulled up in her silver car and got out, taking a deep breath.
"Morning!" She said cheerfully as she waltzed over from her Volvo.
"Morning..." I mumbled back with a tone of cheer. She smiled and took another deep breath. I gulped and she touched my forearm.
"I need to talk to you, but not here." She asked me through her mind. I frowned lightly at her words but nodded. I pointed to the gym. "Perfect, no one had Gym in the morning so it would be empty." I smiled.
"At least something's perfect..." I muttered thinking about Nessie the whole time. Her hand felt warm and she laughed, music light and bright. I smiled and she lead me to the gym. When we reached the gym, we stood there awkward for a bit, not looking at each other. I couldn't get her out of my mind. Everything about her screamed beautiful and I wanted her more. I was left in my thinking when she broke the silence.
"I need to tell you something, but first I got to show you it." She whispered, a nervous tone stuck in her throat. I waited, hoping that my bravery would hurry up and tell her how I feel already.
She took a deep breath and touched me face. I flinched slightly, the shock of her touch scaring me, but otherwise I didn't move. She thought of when she first met me, the time I talked to her in the parking lot, the feeling she got when I first spoke to her, lunch time, anything that involved me, basically, was flashing behind closed eyes. Everything she thought of made me feel more pathetic. I couldn't tell her how I felt. My eyes trembled and I was about to open them when a pair of perfect arms molded around my neck. Her soft lips crushed mine and I opened my eyes in surprise. Her soft curls tickled my face and her brown eyes were closed to the world. My heart jumped and I pulled into it. We stood there for a few long seconds and I was happy that nobody would intrude. She pulled away and I attempted a few blind shots at her lips. She put a small finger across my lips and my eyes opened. I gave her a soft, pleading look and she laughed, the music lively and beautiful. She looked me straight in the eyes, hers' searching mine with a hunger within. They asked me for stop and I obeyed them, awaiting her next command.
"Kayle," She whispered softly and I sighed. "I think I'm in love with you..." The shock of her words rippled through me and I froze. She frowned and lightly tapped me on the cheek. "Kayle?"
"Yeah?" I managed to say.
"Are you OK?" She asked, worry hinting her voice. I laughed and gulped.
"Well, that's one way to tell someone you love them." She laughed and cuddled her head into my chest. Her smell intoxicated me and I smiled. She smelt like lavender and lilies and sunflowers all rolled into one. I sighed and pulled her head lightly off my chest.
"What is it, Kayle?"
"Nessie... I love you too." I told her lightly and she sighed. I cradled her chin and we kissed once more, never separating until the first bell rang. Social flew by and Science started up. I was intent on writing notes when a neatly folded paper landed in front of me. Nessie's curls bounced as she turned back around. I smirked and gave up on note taking. I opened it to find neatly handwritin' words.
Hi, Kayle. What's up?
I laughed lightly and starting words below hers.
Not much. Science is a complete bore. What's up with you and how are you?
I threw the paper over her head and it landed directly in front of her, courtesy of the fan that was blowing warm air. Her curls bounced as she scawled somthing on the paper and she used the fan to blow it back to me. It overshot the target but I reached up and caught it easily.
Spoken like a true gentleman. Nothing really up and I'm fine. Just thinking about this morning. How are you?
My heart jumped at 'this morning' and I quickly wrote back
I'm fine. Oh, Nessie?
Yeah?
I love you.
She blushed a deep red colour after reading it and I smirked. She was about to write something back when the lunch bell rang and I walked up to her desk.
"Nice idea, Nessie!" I exclaimed as I leaned against her desk.
"Thanks," She replied as she bit her lip. "Kayle?"
"Yeah?" I said and the class disappeared, all heading toward the cafeteria. Her brown eyes locked on mine and the connection was made.
"... I love you too." It made my blood tingle and I started to blush. She stood up and we both made our way to the cafeteria, toward Seth and the Fads.
