Chapter 10: First Kiss

April pov:

A few more moments passed between the two of us before I could realize what the incidents happen that seemed like a quick flashback. Suddenly went through my mind as I wondered how and why that happened to us? In an instant, I was shocked to feel that our lips were pressed together. I don’t know what can be done, and what should I say?

At this point, even my earthly body trembled at the extreme awkwardness I felt. I feel like I'm going to run out of breath because of the excessive speed of the heartbeat I feel in my chest.

And when I regained consciousness, I quickly got up from lying on top of him. Even though my vision was a bit blurred, I still managed to stand up even though my whole being was enveloped in intense nervousness. When I finally got up, I saw it also get up from lying on the ground, I don't know why I feel like my chest will explode. I calmed down, and hid my true feelings in fury. I lost my concentration even more when our eyes suddenly met.

Shit, why with so many people in the world, why is he still the one I badly encounter?

Because of nervousness, I didn't think of the right thing to do. All I knew to do what is right now is to follow what was running through my mind. He received a loud slap from me that surprised him. I felt the numbness of my hand and I also saw the redness of his cheek, the palm that I hit his face was mark on his face. 

It was only then that I realized the mistake I had made with him but because of the first kiss he stole, I will never forgive him even if everyone says he is the campus king or son of the richest man in this country.

I really don't care. He stole my first kiss and I don't want let him run away after doing that to me.

He was about to approach me, but the jeep arrived just in time so I got on without looking at him again.

I ran quickly to get into the jeep even though it was still moving. I took a ride without waiting for the car to stop as long as all I knew to do was get away from this place, I wanted to get away from the person I love. I will face the shame and punishment I will receive from him maybe on the next other days because of what I did. Right now, I have something more important to take care of than him or even anyone.

While I was on the trip to the hospital I still didn't lose the strange emotion I felt especially when our eyes met. I feel like I'm wrapped in intense fear and nervousness I don't know what to do in the next few days because of what I did on campus king. What further envelops the fear in my whole being is whether anyone else has seen the incident before.

What will I do in the next few days?

How can I avoid Mark Fuentes in my life? I am sure, he find a ways to take a step to revenge on me.

Is it right to love him?

Will he hurt me as other students do to me? Can I face him again with courage?

Mark pov:

I didn’t like what my friends were talking about even if they said they were just joking. Even if they say they're just teasing me, it's still not right for them to make a joke, especially since I'm not in the mood to ride their mischief. So I hurried out of the head quarters after drinking a can of beer and throw it somewhere.

I walked down the hallway to the music hall where Jayson is now to ask him to have a drink tonight when I suddenly met April on the way.

‘Why? Do you have a problem?' . only word running through my mind but not being able to utter it directly from my mouth until she finally passed me as if she saw no other person around her except her body like a dead who walk fast as if no emotions.

I followed April's gaze as she still ran out of the school campus. I release a deep sigh as I watch her clumsy moves, I tried to ignore her but it seems like something whisper to me that I should be followed wherever she goes. And I don't know why?

Not far away, from where she was standing, I noticed a car that was speeding as if they owned the whole road. Whoever inside the car is like they own the whole place to drove fasts.

For some inexplicable reason, I suddenly felt a great fear that a black car might run over her. I quickly ran closer to Ms. Nobody to give signal to her.

"April ..." my voice echoed all around and since the bell has rang for the next subject, all the students had already left the former classrooms to move to the next room.

I knew there were eyes staring at me, especially deafening scream for me when I called her name as if she couldn't hear it.

The speed of incidents was so fast, the black car was getting closer and closer to April's direction. I was moving like lightning, I don't know how I could run so fast. I quickly pulled her hand away from the speeding vehicle causing us both to fall to the ground.

I felt my back bounce three times before it finally hit the ground as I hugged April tightly causing her body put on top of me.

I can feel my heart beating twice as fast as I freely stare at her beautiful and innocent face while April's eyes are narrowing because her eyeglasses have been thrown somewhere. As far as I can see, her eyes are blurry when she is not wearing eyeglasses so she tries to see my face obvious transparent in her sight.

Moments later, she pounded her eyeglasses on the ground. She was literally in shocked to see that her eyeglasses were cracked, which made her reactions on her face even paler.

"Are you okay?" even though my whole body was shaking with nervousness, I still tried to be brave just to say it.

I don't know if it's right or wrong that I asked her that way because she suddenly got up looking very scared but out of fear that there might be another car came I pulled her hand again but this time, our lips accidentally applied. 

I saw her slit eyed widen in shock while I, on the other hand, seemed to be paralyzed all over my body. I don’t know if it’s right I feel at these times.

I feel comfortable with her side.

I feel, I am safe when I am with her.

But am I right to feel this way about ‘Miss Nobody?’ .

Once our lips remained touched, I want to feel if she could also feel the same was running through my minds right now.

That’s what I forcefully imprinted on my mind. I thought, she's an easy girl who is easy to get like other women on campus who have had a vein in their neck cut off shouting my name over and over again because of their admirable disires and show how they idolize me. But this girl was different, what I hought is was just a big illusion.

I totally thought, she liked what happened between the two of us.

But I was surprised when it suddenly got up so I also stood up, as if to apologize for what happened but I received a strong slap from her that surprised me.

I feel a mixture of annoyance and astonishment at these times. In my whole life no one has dared to slap my cheek not even my mom.

I was bored with what she did especially since many students saw what she did to me.

I would have approached her to confront her about what she had done. Is it my fault if that happened? But before I could get close enough, it quickly ran away from me to chase the car.

Even though the car didn't stop, April struggled to rid on the car as if she was scared of me.

My jaw drops as I watch her, why not? A woman like her is like a man when she acts. She never thought that there was a possibility that she might be disgraced for what she did. At what she did, she didn't think that her life was in danger. She insisted on riding even though the car had not stopped completely.

She is really different from everyone!

Her innocent and uniqueness even more attractive to me.

She was very different from the women I had met.

She is the real brave, there is nothing to fear even if they say she is also a victim of bullying but the courage and bravery she shows is unmatched!
