Chapter 3 - Nervous

I walked into school awaiting the worst news possible. I was waiting for everyone to glare at me like I was an outsider, waiting for someone to push me onto the ground and call me a third-class citizen. But none of that happened. Everyone greeted me per usual, and some girls even invited me out for cake after school, which I politely declined.

What's going on? Wasn't he going to tell everyone? He knows my secret so why hasn't he spread the word? Then, I saw the person who he called Specs walk up the corridor. "Hey there! Remember me?" He nodded and said "Yeah, you're Anna Taylor! Everyone knows you!" I smiled. "You know, if Eric is extorting money from you, you should say something!"

"Extorting money? What are you talking about?" Hold on, he wasn't taking money from him? He then smiled and said "Oh, that. Some guys stole my sketching notebook and Eric went to retrieve it. He told me to keep hold of his wallet just in case one of the guys swiped it off of him. I gave him your study notes as thank you for retrieving it." Gosh, did I misunderstand him that bad? He's not a bad guy after all, I made assumptions that I shouldn't have. "Um, do you know where I might be able to find him?"

On the school roof. Of course he's there. Going up there is just asking for a fight with him so no one dares approach the roof, not even the teachers. It's like his own private condo. As I walked up the stairs, I eventually opened up the door, my hands shaking. And there he was...

His body frame was handsome. I could tell that he works out. A quick gust of wind made all of the leaves on the ground fly up and brush off the edge as I stared at him intently. He looked so handsome...

He then glanced my way and I stiffened up. "W-Why... why didn't you tell anyone about my situation?" He then looked back up into the sky. "I don't know what you're talking about." I grumbled. "I know that you didn't extort that guy! You're not a bad guy so why do you pretend to be one?"

He then got up and grinned at me. "You interest me, Anna Taylor. A lot. You know, no one dares to come up here. I'll show you how bad I can really be."

Before I could do anything, he grabbed my wrist and brought me in for a kiss. I could smell his scent, it was... warm and fresh. As his lips stole away my first kiss, I suddenly wondered how impulsive he truly was. As he parted our mouthes, he then looked at me and blushed.

My eyes were wide and my mouth was unemotional. I was frozen in shock. What did he... just do? Did he just... steal my first kiss? "Your... your breath stinks of mint." That's all I could say. Then, he snorted and laughed. He laughed at the top of his lungs madly, as of he had seen the funniest thing in the world. "Oh, Anna Taylor... I want you even more now! Let's make a deal... I'll keep your secret as long as you become mine. Sound good?"
