Hay Lin's Love Bug

Disclaimer: I do not own WITCH or any of its affiliates.

A/N: This weekend I'm giving you guys TWO WHOLE chapters! Don't ya love me? Anyway, I have to tell you all something. Certain people have been speaking with me - not reviewing about it, but speaking with me - about Eric. Yes, I know that this boy's name is James. It is meant to be that way. I actually wrote this last year, and the new book just came out a couple months ago. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Also, I am not going to change his name. This story is sort of based on a true story, so I'm keeping his name. Sorry, but I'm selfish and stubborn. SO BITE ME! Ha-Ha! Just kidding.

Chapter 4: The First Kiss

Chapter 4:

Hay Lin woke up and, yet again, put on a new outfit. This one was a plain pair of jeans with hearts all over them, a tight, green shirt, tennis shoes, and her hair was in pig tails. She was also wearing her charm bracelet again; this time it had a baseball bat on it with the words "James" engraved in the handle.

When she got to school she parked her bike and locked it in place, then went inside again. This time she went into the cafeteria and was surprised to see that the group of girls that were usually around James wasn't there, and he was sitting with Will, Taranee, Cornelia, and Irma.

She sat down beside James who smiled brightly at her. As they sat there and talked for a while, Hay Lin could see James' hand slowly moving toward her. Then she felt his hand on the side of her leg barely touching her. She blushed. His hand stayed there for a few moments, and then slowly ran up onto the top of her leg. He squeezed her leg gently and smiled as she glanced at him. She got so nervous she took her own hand down and grabbed his so he would just hold her hand. James must have realized he was going too fast so he backed off a bit.

At lunch they didn't eat; they played baseball again. James was showing Hay Lin how to bat – again - and was doing a pretty darn good job - if you'd ask Hay Lin. Then, he saw her bracelet.

"Aww, you added me. That's nice," he said.

"Yes, well, you know."

"Do… do you want to be my girlfriend?" he asked.

"Umm," Hay Lin blushed, "sure."

James came in closer to Hay Lin's lips and tried to kiss her, but instead they both fell. They started laughing then James asked, "Is it ok?"

"Yes, go ahead," she replied.

James and Hay Lin lip-locked for at least five minutes; then Hay Lin started unzipping James' pants.

Suddenly James stopped kissing her, "I'm sorry, I can't do that. Not yet, at least. It's just not right."

"Oh, yea, ok."

James stood up and zipped his pants back up then said sorry one more time and offered to go back to school.

Back at school Hay Lin was given a note, from a kid named Brett. She opened it up only to find that Brett is obsessed with her and has been the past three years!

So the next day at lunch Hay Lin tells James this and he gets jealous.

"I don't think we should see each other any more," he said. "It's getting hard to… uh… control myself."

"What? No! It'll be ok!" Hay Lin said desperately.

"I'm sorry," James said, and walked away back to school.

For the rest of the evening, Hay Lin sat at the bench and cried into her arms, which were propped on her knees. The guy that works at the Burger stand even offered her a free milkshake, but she was so shook up she didn't respond.

She didn't go back to school that day, she sat at the bench until about 9:00 - which is when she saw her four friends coming up to her.

"Hay Lin! Are you ok?" Irma asked. "We've been looking everywhere."

"Your parents called all of us to see where you were, and then we called each other and planned a search. Are you ok? Please say something and look up, you're scaring me!" Will cried.

Hay Lin looked up, eyes puffy and red from crying all evening.

"We kissed yesterday!" she cried. "Then I unzipped his pants and he stood up saying it was too soon!" she sniffled, "I went back to school only to find out that a short, pale, geek likes me and is obsessing over me! He's probably been stalking me or something the past three years! But when I told James today at lunch he broke up with me!" She sniffled again and put her head back down.

"Oh no," Taranee said.

Sniffle.

"It's ok Hay Lin. You'll get over him," Cornelia added.

Sniffle.

Hay Lin looked up, "You don't get it! I don't want to get over him! I love him! I don't want to…" She put her head back into her arms.

"Why did he say he wanted to break up with you?"

"He said he couldn't control himself," Hay Lin sniffled.

"Likely story," Cornelia said.

"What?" Irma asked.

"Well, I heard he liked Kayla, you know, the most popular girl in school. He has no chance with her, but he'll probably try and try and try again. He's that type."

"What?" Hay Lin said. "I'll never win against that – that – that thing! Do we even know if she's human? She's so darn perfect! Gosh!"

"It's ok Hay Lin," Taranee said. "You'll be okay."

"No, no I won't," Hay Lin replied. "I won't…. I loved him."

"Stop talking about love so much to us like that! You act like we don't know what love is! Well don't forget who you're talking to Hay Lin!" Cornelia screamed almost bursting into tears. "Caleb is gone! And I loved him! It's not fair, I know! But there's nothing you can do!"

Hay Lin fell silently and quit balling her head off.

"I'm sorry Cornelia," she said quietly, "I didn't know it would affect you."

"Well, that's all right," Cornelia sniffled, "Let's just get you out of here, okay?"

"Why don't we ask if everyone can spend the night at my house?" Taranee asked.

"Sure," Will replied.

The group of girls headed off towards Taranee's house to spend the night and help Hay Lin get over James.
