Chapter 16 Tasted like Chinese food

Hey there! Chapter 16's just arrived, you might thing the title is a bit odd but I thought it suited. R&R and thank you for your positive reviews, keep it up! Rock on! I don't own any of the Sky high characters you recognize…

I'm in the state of sock. I can't even remember getting home; my legs just kinda brought me here. The whole episode was like a dream now, I can't remember anything! I remember that he tasted like Chinese food that is about it!

I lifted my fork to my mouth and chew a few times before I swallowed. Even the potatoes tasted like Warren. The thing I frankly don't get is why he turned his head. He knew I ought to kiss his cheek not his mouth…

"I KISSED WARREN PEACE!" I screamed in happiness, scaring everyone around the table. It suddenly accrued to me; I kissed Warren, on the mouth! Not with the tongue or anything, but a soft lip-upon-lip kiss. That was good enough for me though!

"You did what?!" asked my dad furiously that made me sit back down.

"Eh, eh, is there any chance I'll get out of this without getting punished?" I asked and smiled hopefully at my dad.

"When?" he almost whispered in fury.

"About 15 minutes ago…"

"I thought you were on your room?"

"I was, but…" I stared, but dad cut my off.

"I didn't hear you leave the house!"

"I used the window."

"So you snuck out to see him, without my approval?!" he screamed, his eyes twitching.

"No she couldn't have…" interrupted my mom, screwing up her face to remember something. "Warren showed up about 30 minutes after Taylor had left, wondering if he could talk to her. So she couldn't have been with him…"

"So what you're saying is," said dad, his face glowing. "that he had the guts to show up her uninvited to ask for my daughter?!"

"Alan!" said mom sounding defended. "First of all, he was a real gentleman and asked politely if he could talk to her and secondly, that was not my point!"

"That what was your point?" asked my dad confused. I rolled my eyes unnoticed and continued to watch the conversation in silence.

"My point was; that if she wasn't sneaking out to see Warren, why was she sneaking out?" they were all looking at me now, even Cyrus had lay down his knife and looked curiously at me. I let my head drop and sighed. This was it. I had to tell them everything. About me knocking down Emma and the note and her mad science test and my crush on Warren… Ok, perhaps I can leave the last one out…

I told them everything and finished with a groan. It was like a huge rock had been lifted of my shoulders. I looked at dad that had sat back down in his chair, the fury in his eyes had disappeared and been exchanged with confusion. He scratched his nose before he pointed at me.

"You're telling me that… You were the brain behind all of this?" he said in disbelief. I was too exhausted to get defended at the remark and just shook my head.

"It was all downhill from there." I said still shaking my head. "You could say that Jordan and I share the blame."

"She's been through a lot Alan. Can't you remember being 15?" asked my mom and kissed dad on the cheek.

"Fine, you can go." I stood up so quickly that Cyrus poked his eye in surprise and hurried up before they could change their minds. I sat down in my computer chair and closed my eyes. My head was aching and my leg was burning in pain, but it didn't stop me from smiling…

(One night and breakfast later…)

"I love you!" I yelled as Jordan arrived at the bus 5 minutes after me. She gave me a concerned look before she snapped her fingers in front of my face, her golden arm-jewelry rustled as she did.

"Are you sick?"

"On the contrary. I've never been better!" I said as the bus arrived. We got on and said hello to the bus driver and got a seat in the back. Jordan still looked strangely at me when the bus took off.

"I love what you have done with your hair! You should really thigh it up more often." I said happily and admired her blond hair.

"Ok this is getting weird…" said Jordan. "Yesterday you called me a thief and a whiner baby and now you're complimenting my hair? Which I by the way I always have up."

"Oh yeah, sorry about that…" I said, still with a grin on my face.

"You wouldn't mind telling me why you're acting so strangely, do you?"

"No I wouldn't mind." I said and turned to the window just in time to see us pass Will's house.

"Yes?!" Jordan snapped.

"Oh, sorry." I said and cleared my throat. "Warren kissed me last night!" I'd expected her to scream and congratulate me, but all she did was to glare blankly at me, not quite understanding what I was talking about. Suddenly she started to laugh so hard that people around us thought she had been seriously injured.

"Don't worry, I just told her a really funny joke." I told a couple of girls that looked frightened at Jordan.

"Shut it!" I half whispered and shushed her several times before she became quiet. She dried a few tears and than turned to me.

"Good one Taylor, good one. I believed you for a second too actually."

"Excuse me?"

"Eh, eh, because you were joking right?" she said and became serious again.

"Absolutely not!"

"What? You… You mean on the… The…" she stuttered and pointed at her lips. I nodded violently.

"No way!"

I nodded again and told her every little detail until I actually came to the part were I was kissing Warren.

The bus stopped right after I had told Jordan the rest of the story and Will, Layla and Warren stepped inside. Judging by their looks, Warren hadn't told them about our kiss.

"Hey guys." said Layla and Will together. Warren passed with nothing but his regular hey which annoyed me a little. We kissed for heavens sake!

For some strange reason the word Mississippi was repeating it self in my head as I walked off the bus and through the school yard with Jordan. What's to become of me and Warren now? Was he gona ignore me for the rest of his life because he got what he wanted or was he just shy? Was it an accident or did he turn his head on purpose?
