Chapter Four Avoiding him wasn't going to change anything. I couldn't ignore him the rest of the school year! He was always going to be in every class I have, and so with lunch. We're practically together 24/7, since The Russians' asked us to hang out with them after school— and since Jade and I want to escape 'hell', we said yes. I kind of regretted saying yes right then; because I'd had to see his face. You must be wondering what happened after the kiss, right? Well, you can tell that it didn't end good. As he pulled away from me, I stood frozen, and then I ran away from him. I started avoiding him in the auditorium for our theatre arts subject. He kept trying to talk to me, but then I would smile and run away from him. I know... Stupid, yeah? But I didn't know what to feel. I like him, but does he like me? He's my first kiss, am I his? Definitely not. I grumbled as I opened my locker in the middle of lunch break. I felt drained from trying to run away from someone who can easily ask people where the heck I am in the huge ass school. As I was about to close my locker, a hand suddenly banged on it, causing me to jump in surprise. I turned around and saw a very, very furious Nathan Kulkov, with a very sad expression in his eyes causing me to whimper because he looked so god damn cute! "N-Nathan..." I stuttered, trying to keep my calm. "Rhyan," he growled softly, snaking his arms on my waist, and then pulling me against his body. HEAVEN. I THINK I HAVE DIED. I tried to push him away but I couldn't... because his lips found mine, and savoured it completely. I was so lost in his passionate kiss that I began to kiss him back. I forgot we were in the hallway; but no one was even there, so why stop right? His hands cupped my butt and my legs wrapped around his waist. Oh my gosh. I'm making out with Nathan Kulkov. Oh my freaking gosh. I couldn't feel anything else rather than my heart exploding into tiny bajillion pieces. I guess no one can avoid such a hot man after all. But what if he's playing with me? What if he's toying with my feelings? Does he even like me? Oh, this is so confusing. "Snap out of it you rascals!" I heard Klara scream as she tried pulling Nathan away from me. I quickly got off his body, and stood shocked. Nathan looked pretty happy though. "S-sorry... I-I..." I began to stammer since I was seriously nervous from the scene Klara just saw. Nathan snaked his arms around my waist, and then planted a kiss on my neck. Then, Klara hit him with her notebook. "Stop! Nathan, you fully know well that PDA is not allowed in this school! We are supposed to set an example to these ignorant freshmen." She waved her hand in every direction, while Nathan laughed because there was no one. She groaned and then smiled. "So... Are you guys together now?" She asked, raising her eyebrows. Nathan looked at me with hopeful eyes, but I was tongue-tied. What was I gonna say?! Yes? I don't even know if we are. It's just a kiss. Just a kiss... And no- "Yes, we are." Three words made my heart explode metaphorically. I stared at Nathan shocked. Did he just say YES? Wait... When did we even get together? A kiss doesn't mean we're together! I can kiss Klara right now, and we're not gonna be together. "W-w... H-h..." "I see only Nathan thinks you guys are together. What a bummer. Well, I'll see you both later," she said feigning sad. And then she turned to Nathan, "No PDA." I watched her walk away, obviously happy and giddy, since he was hopping like a bunny... Wait, not really... Err, just hopping. "Nate!" I hissed, shoving him softy on the shoulders. I then covered my mouth from the name I just called him. It wasn't on purpose... I always kind of call him Nate in my head when I'm dreaming. Instead of a pissed off face, he grinned hugely. "What'd you call me?" He walked towards me, until I was pushed against the locker. "A-ah... Nathan." He shook his head. "No, you said something else. Say it again." "Nate," I blushed. And before I knew it, he claimed my lips hungrily, and I was so lost in it that I kissed him back twice as passionate as he did. "Damn! I've been waiting to do this again." He muttered against my lips. "What are you doing to me?" He asked, slowly pulling away, looking deeply into my eyes. "N-nothing," I answered breathlessly. "You're like my own personal magnet. I just can't stay away from you..." He confessed. I kept silent, all thoughts running into my mind. "Rhyan... Be my boyfriend?" I felt my heart skip a beat, and then I found myself gaping at him. His face was so serious, and I knew his confession was real. And so I answered: "I'm sorry... I can't."
