I didn't move from my spot for about thirty seconds after he told us to kiss during the scene. Cat looked over at me a few seconds later. She didn't look as freaked out. She seemed….happy? I don't know, I couldn't tell. She walked over to me and took a breath before starting the scene. "Why did you get us a dog? I told you we weren't ready yet!" she yelled at me. "I like dogs, and I felt we were ready for one!" I yelled back. "Well first of all, I hate dogs and we've only been together two months! We aren't ready for a dog yet! Now get that mutt out of my house!" she screamed at me. "But I love you and I think we're ready!" I screamed back. Tears filled her eyes. "No, we're not ready! Get rid of that!" She pointed at the ground. "There's no reason for me to abandon this dog in the middle of the street, it's staying here!" I yelled. She growled in frustration.
"You know what? Why don't you AND the dog, leave? Then it won't be alone!" she screamed. "I'm not leaving! And neither is that dog!" I yelled again. "And why is that?" she questioned me, her voice getting slightly lower. "Because we ARE ready, and I love you." I said before walking swiftly over to her, cupping her face in my hands and kissed her lips. They were soft and tasted like cherry. I never imagined kissing her like this. Well, I imagined kissing her, but not under these circumstances. Her lips were a lot softer than I imagined. Her arms came up and she locked her fingers together behind my head, holding me there for a few seconds. My hands slid down to her waist and I got the strength to pull back. All I could do was look at her, my mouth agape slightly. She smiled a bit, looking at me. Sikowitz came up to us and started clapping loudly beside me.
I was going to hit him, slap him, punch him, something, but the class all started clapping to. "Very nice, ladies! Good job making sure you got all those things in!" he ushered us back to our seats. All I could do was think in my mind 'She kissed me back.' As I sat down next to her again. She smiled at me and set her hand back on my thigh. There's that heat again. "That was awesome!" she said to me a little too enthusiastically. Did she like it? "I guess it was." I said, focusing on Beck and Andre who were doing their own improv scene for the class. "You didn't think it was good?" she asked in her 'What's that supposed to mean?' voice. I sighed and turned my head to her. "It was great, Cat." I said, giving her a soft smile. She perked up fast and grinned at me. She winked and leaned in. "You're a good kisser." She whispered in my ear. My eyes widened a bit but they fixed themselves before she saw. She turned away with a smile before leaning her head on my shoulder.
Beck and Andre finished their scene just before the bell. It rang and I nearly jumped out of my seat to leave the class. "Wait everyone! Everyone can go except for Jade and Cat!" Sikowitz yelled. I frowned. All I wanted to do was go to the bathroom and sit down to think for a bit. Everyone rushed out of the room. Cat and I sat down near the front of the class with Sikowitz. "That was some good acting you two did earlier. I liked it. I was planning on doing a play for the class and I wondered if you two would like to be in it." He said to us. Cat squealed. "I love plays!" she said cheerily. "What's the play about?" I asked flatly. "It's about a couple who fall for each other after their close friend dies. The couple would be played by you and Cat," he gestured to the both of us. "And you can decide who'll be the male lead. I would suggest you, Jade." I rolled my eyes. I'm always the man. Always. "The play will be around an hour long and it will take place in the Blackbox Theatre next Wednesday." He finished.
I looked at Cat and shrugged. "I guess." She jumped up and down in her seat. "Yay!" she said excitedly. "That is all." Sikowitz said before letting us go. The second bell rang and I knew I'd be late for second period. I decided to skip and go to Sky Bucks for a coffee. Cat saw me from down the hall. She skipped over to me. "Where are you going?" she asked, trying to keep up with me. "I'm going to Sky Bucks. I need a coffee." I told her. "You're skipping class?" she asked, with wide eyes. I laughed a bit. "Yeah. Wanna come?" I asked her. She looked back at the school worriedly, scratching the back of her head. "I guess." She said. She was one of the goody goodies in school. Never missed a class, was never late and always finished her work on time. She was one of the smartest kids in school and I didn't wanna ruin that. "Will missing a class go on your permanent record?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"If you missed more than three classes in one week, they start going on your permanent record." She stated. "Okay good, then you're fine." I said as-a-matter-of-factly. She smiled and grabbed my hand. We held hands all the way to Sky Bucks, making my heart leap. We got to the store and I ordered my coffee. We took a seat at a booth near the back of the store. I sipped on my coffee before giving her a five dollar bill. She looked at me confusedly. "What's this for?" she asked. I nodded my head towards the front. "They have red velvet cupca-" Before I could finish, she had leaped out of her seat and ran to the counter. She came back a minute later, licking the icing off the top. "Thank you so much, Jadey!" she hugged me. I smiled a bit as she sat down in her seat across from me. "You know…this is kind of like a date." She stated before licking more icing off. I froze in my seat, stopping mid-sip.
