Chap 9
(Viktor pov)
I just kissed Lyra. Yes, I said it. And oh how good it feels to say that. I kissed Lyra. I might just go jumping for joy, I might just go singing down the hall way, I might just kiss her again.
She was beautiful. She always has been. She slowly pulled away from my lips and I was only vaguely aware of the 'aww' that went through the crowd. I looked down at her blushing face and gently put my hand on her cheek. I just starred at her. That's when I realized that she probably thought my actions were weird, but I couldn't care less. I mean, I wanted to tell her how I felt. I had to.
"I-" She chocked out before turning away from my hand and running over to where Harry was coming up on the deck.
(Lyra pov)
We just stood there, starring at each other for a minute. Oh god. Oh god, I just kissed Viktor Krum. And that's not even the worst part. No, the worst part was that I wanted to do it again. I had to tell him. I had to let him know how I felt. I leaned slightly closer to him, but I don't think he noticed.
"I-" I started to say but stopped myself. I couldn't tell him now in front of all these people. I needed a distraction, that's why I was beyond happy when Harry broke through the water.
I ran to him, well, more like I ran away from Viktor. I couldn't face him now. The situation was so tense I felt like the air could have been karate chopped. But I would have to tell him. He needed to know how I felt so he could run away from me.
Oh god, what if he ran away from me? What if he was annoyed that I loved him? What if he was angry? Or worse, what if he didn't like me back? What if he couldn't stand me?
But I had to do it. I had to tell him. But not in front of all these people. Not now. I would have to push down all my fears. I would have to trust him. But could I trust him? Was it possible for me to let myself put all my trust in this person?
I had too. I loved him.
"Harry. You okay?" I asked gently as I patted his shivering back lightly. He nodded yes and stood as the headmaster called for all of the champions to go back to the preparation area.
I watched Viktor walk away. He looked so content, so smug. Was he happy about the kiss? He had to be. I needed him to be.
It's been five minutes since he's been in the champion's tent, and I can't contain myself any longer. I needed to tell him. He needed to know my feelings for him.
I might regret it later, but I needed to get my feelings out of the way. After the kiss, there was no denying the feelings I felt.
I all but ran to the champions area, not stopping to say hello to Harry who was walking around outside of it.
My stomach turned to lead as I drew back the curtain and looked inside. I felt my throat close up in a sickening gag, and my lips begin to burn. My heart stopped beating for a moment, and I could hardly breath, I felt like I was just kicked in the gut and punched in the face.
There, right I the middle of the champions tent, was Viktor, the guy I loved, locking lips with someone who definitely, wasn't me.
GASP! I promise there is a reason for this! Any who, you will notice that the next task is actually spaced out a little from the second. Just a heads up. I had a blast writing this chapter by the way! Review please!
