Christopher remained eagle-eyed for the rest of the night at Jason's party. He didn't want the girl he kissed to slip by right under his watch. He wasn't even interested in partying anymore. He looked around for her friend Brooke later on but didn't see her either. He couldn't believe they've been attending the same school since 9th grade. She's probably the quiet unpopular type. She's actually pretty, to be honest. So is her friend. He eventually decided to crash and went into Jason's room. "What's wrong man?" Jason had asked him when he told him he wanted to sleep. "I'm just tired dude," he had answered faking a yawn. Jason shrugged. The thing is that Christopher couldn't sleep immediately. When he closed his eyes, he kept remembering how his lips moved in sync with hers. The kiss wasn't even deep but it seemed to have trapped him. What the hell is this? I've never felt that way when kissing anyone not even Ivy when they were together, he had thought. And the worst part is th
ON THE Way to class, Stephanie's phone beeps and she brings it out of the pocket of her jeans to check it. Just then, she bumps into someone but luckily for her, her phone doesn't leave her grip. She looks up to see the person she bumped into, only to find a very furious-looking Ivy glaring at her. "You bitch! Are you blind or something?" Ivy yells. Poison Ivy. "I'm so...." "Shut that trap you call a mouth," Ivy yells again. Stephanie shuts up and couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Who are you anyway?" Ivy asks snootily. "I'm pretty sure she's a loser," Aspen, her best friend, more like her minion, snickers beside her. "Are you a transfer student or something? I've never seen your pathetic face before, not that I'll want to," Ivy bellows. 'Yeah, yeah. I'm glad you've never seen me before but it's so unfortunate I see you often. Who wants to be scrutinized by your bitchy eyes?' Stephanie says in a head. She continues to look down. She doesn't want Ivy to mark her face for opp
By the end of the day, Christopher became frustrated. He hasn't found Hazel. He is yet to find Hazel. He is really frustrated but he doesn't know why. He didn't even see her nor her friend Brooke at the cafeteria during lunch. Everyone eats there, don't they? He couldn't even concentrate on the conversation going on at his table. He didn't see her in any of his classes either but that doesn't surprise him because he guessed that they don't share any classes.Little did he know.When the school closed, he looked around for a bit in the hallways, and then a brilliant idea struck him. He went to the parking lot in hope of finding Hazel. Unfortunately for him, the girls he is looking for already left the lot before he got there.As Brooke was driving her and Stephanie out of the school's parking lot, Chris was just approaching it. They drove past him but they didn't notice. Neither did he. He had his eyes trained on somewhere else. After staying a while in the lot, he entered his car and d
Chapter Nine It has been a week now since everything happened. The party, the game, and then the kiss. Just as Stephanie expected, things haven't changed or rather, didn't change. Everything has been normal. Stephanie sees Chris every day but as usual, he's oblivious to her existence. She didn't hope for anything to change and no, she hasn't suddenly fallen in love with Christopher just because of a kiss - that would be outrageous. He's still the very same to her. The player with all other qualities she has tied to him. But now, one thing has been added to her list about him - he is the one she had the best kiss of her life with. She isn't suddenly pining over him. No. She isn't. That kiss didn't change her thoughts about him. Not one bit. Now it's Friday and school is over. She and Brooke are heading towards their ride - Brooke's car. "What plans do you have for the weekend?" Brooke asks her. "Plans? None that I know of," she replies gently. Then she remembers. "Althou
"Hey Chris," a girlish voice says behind him. He turns on his heel to find Piper beaming at him. Just what he needs - a distraction. "Oh Piper," he gives the best smile he could muster, really happy to see her. "I thought you said someone was waiting for you?" She asks. "Yeah. Well, I went to meet him but he's sorta busy with his girlfriend," Chris replies. "Oh. Did you come with your girlfriend?" She asks him curiously. She knows his story. She knows he is a player but she just decided to ask that. "Nope," he answers, trying his best not to cringe. "So...you live around here?" He asks to change the subject. "Yeah. I do. You?" "Nah," He answers. Piper wants to ask where he lives but doesn't wanna spoil her chance with him or sound too nosy. They talk about their schools for a while, laughing. Then Chris asks, "Wanna hear some pickup lines?" Piper grins, "Sure." "Are you g****e cause you have everything I've been looking for," he starts. Piper smiles, "Good one." "Did i
Chapter Eleven: It's Her It's Saturday morning and Christopher Hayes wakes up late due to last night's party. He awakes and he's very happy he didn't drink last night. If he did, he'd have a killer headache - a freaking hangover. As he looks around his room, he remembers the party and then Piper. He picks up his phone from the nightstand and dials Jason. It rings and then goes to voicemail. Chris calls him again and this time he picks up. "Jason?" Chris says after he doesn't speak for some seconds. "What the fuck man! There better be a good reason why the hell you woke me up," Jason grumbles. "Well, good morning to you too dude," Chris replies sardonically. "What do you want?" "Did you see Piper yesterday?" "Um...I think so," Jason answers. "What do you mean? You think so? Are you fucking kidding me? Did you even check on her as I asked you to?" Chris's voice begins to raise. "Chill dude. I checked on her and even gave her a ride home. Now would you please leave me to battle w
Chapter Twelve: Cute Dog After having breakfast and doing some cleaning around the house, Stephanie is happy she's finally leaving the house. She steps out and locks the door behind her. She struts over to her neighbor's door and knocks. About a minute later, a woman opens the door. "Why hello Stephanie," she smiles. "Hi. Mrs. Grace. I'm here for Daisy." "Oh come on in," Mrs. Grace ushers her in. "How are you dear?" She asks. "I'm okay," Stephanie answers. "Are your parents back?" Steph sighs, "No. They'd be back tomorrow, hopefully." "That's great. Let me go get Daisy." Mrs. Grace is in her late forties. She's divorced and has a son who is in college right now. His name is Harry and he's friends with Stephanie's brother, Brody. Harry had gotten his mum a dog to keep her company when he's in school. Mrs. Grace named her Daisy. Mrs. Grace walks into the room with Daisy who has a collar around her neck while holding a leash. Daisy sights Stephanie and runs up to her. "Hey g
Chapter Thirteen: Soon-to-be Boyfriend "Hey B," Stephanie says into the phone. "Steph Hi," Brooke replies from the other line on the phone. "Are you home?" "Yeah. We're back. It was -" "Can you come over?" Stephanie interrupts her. "Rude," Brooke drawls in an offended tone. "Please?" "I'll be there in ten," Brooke agrees. "Thanks," Stephanie hangs up. She needs to speak to Brooke right now. Not over the phone, face to face, eyeball to eyeball. She has to tell her the crazy shit that happened today. She stands and walks into the kitchen to get herself ice cream from the fridge. With a spoon and tub of Ice cream in hand, she walks back to the living room. She sits on the couch she was previously on and picks up the TV remote. Talking to Christopher today was shocking. This is the fourth year of them going to the same school. And the first time talking to him was at a park not even in school. You're wondering what happened? Well, it was quite awkward talking to him since s
