The next day, I sat with Kira at lunch in the courtyard. Last night, I had so much trouble sleeping because I couldn't stop thinking about Spencer kissing me and I definitely couldn't stop thinking about Spencer finding out that i'm not a full blooded vampire. Just the thought of Spencer finding out freaks me out. Even though me and Spencer have become closer, i'm not sure if I could trust him fully to keep a big secret like this. Spencer doesn't seem like the type to tell a secret to anybody since he always keeps to himself, but how would I know? I haven't know him as long as Kira and Spencer's friends have.
"What? He kissed you!?" Kira shouted.
"Shh!" I said, glancing around the courtyard to make sure nobody heard her. If word got out that me and Spencer are becoming intimate then...rumors would start flying.
"Did he REALLY kiss you?"
I nodded.
"Where?"
"Where do you think? My lips."
"Wow..." Kira said, staring at me.
"I can't believe it. Spencer? Kissing you?"
"Is it really that hard to believe that someone could kiss me?" I asked.
Kira shook her head. "I don't mean that. I mean it's hard to believe that Spencer is willing to become physical to anybody."
I nodded. "Oh. Yeah. I guess that makes sense. I don't know much about Spencer, but I can tell that he doesn't really become physical with people."
Kira nodded as she flipped through her library book.
"So how did it feel? Was he a good kisser or a bad kisser?"
"He was..." I almost felt myself blushing. "He was a really good kisser. It almost seemed like he kissed people on a daily basis."
"Wow...Now I really can't believe that. Even though Spencer has good looks, I honestly didn't expect him to be great at kissing." She said.
"By the way, has anybody ever liked Spencer before? Or even confessed to him?" I asked.
"Hm...Let me think..." Kira said, staring off to the side then she looked back at me.
"There WAS this one girl last year. Even though a bunch of people tried to convince her to not confess to Spencer, she did it anyways and in front of everyone." Kira explained.
"Where? In the courtyard? During class?"
"In the library during study period. I was on my way to my next class after lunch when I saw her with Spencer in the library. A bunch of people crowded around in the library and outside the library to watch. She handed him a love letter and told him that she liked him. A lot." She continued.
"Then what?" I asked.
"Then...." Kira sighed. "Then...he sorta told her off. He said that he would never date anybody. Especially a girl like her. The girl ended up crying and ran out. She transferred out of here a week later."
My eyes widen. Surprisingly, I believe it. Kira told me the first day I came here that Spencer is like a closed book with a lock and chain on it. I can believe that he'll coldly turn someone down.
"Is it weird that I actually believe that?"
Kira shook her head. "Not at all. That's just how Spencer is and we all know it. Even his friends know it so it really surprised me when you told me he kissed you. Hell. I still can't believe it."
I nodded then shrugged. "I don't know what happened. One minute, we bumped heads, literately, and then the next, he was kissing me. He even stuck his tongue into my mouth."
Kira's eyes widen again. "He did that? Damn. You ought be lucky. It's already difficult enough to get him to talk and open up his feelings, but you were able to get him to kiss you in just a few days after meeting him."
I sighed.
"I wonder....do you think he turns down girls because he likes guys?" I asked.
Kira shook her head. "He turns down guys too."
I blinked my eyes. "He....He does? Did a guy confess to him also?"
"Sorta. This happened a couple months before you came here. There was this guy in our class that was working on a project with him. Right when we were all working quietly, he kissed him right in front of everybody. The whole class was pretty much in shock."
"Then what happen?" I asked.
"Spencer told him off then grabbed his stuff and left the classroom. The teacher called after him and threaten to give him a detention, but Spencer just ignored him and ran off."
"Wow...So...he really doesn't become emotionally or physically intimate with people."
Kira nodded. "I wonder why you're so special, though."
I shrugged. "Only one way to find out. I'm going to go find him." I said then stood up.
"Alright. Tell me how it goes afterwards." She said then went back to reading.
I headed inside the building and went to the library first since that's where Spencer is normally during study period after lunch, but when I got there, he wasn't there.
"Hm...Maybe his room?" I said to myself then started to walk towards the boy's dorm.
I passed by the double doors that leads out to the basketball court when something caught my eye. I backed up and looked out the window to see Spencer talking to Jericho while Jericho played some basketball by himself. I took a deep breath and nodded to myself.
"Okay. Here we go." I said then pushed open the doors and walked outside.
I started to walk up to the both of them when I caught half of their conversation.
"You kissed him? How?" Jericho asked.
I quickly hid behind a tree so I wouldn't get spotted. I know I shouldn't do this, but i'm really curious about what Spencer thinks about our kiss last night. I slowly looked around the corner of the tree so I can watch Jericho and Spencer.
"I kissed him with my lips, obviously." Spencer said, coldly.
"I know that much. I meant, why? All this time, you never wanted to become physical with anybody. Remember when a couple people confessed their feelings to you? You coldly turned them down. Now, you're becoming physical with Riley and you've only know him for a few days." Jericho said.
"I know. I'm not sure why I kissed him."
"Well, do you like him?" Jericho asked.
Spencer sighed. "I'm not sure. He's different. Very different. He's not as annoying as everybody else is and...he's kinda cool. I guess what i'm trying to say is...he's breaking my barrier."
"That's new." Jericho said, shooting a basket. "It took me years to break your barrier. And even when I introduced you to Eliza and Seth, you was so hesitant with becoming friends with them. Now you're opening yourself up so easily to this dude that you barely know. It's crazy." Jericho said.
"I agree. It's weird, though. Whenever i'm around him, I can't find myself acting cold to him. Oddly enough, I feel myself growing soft on him." Spencer said.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to tell him you like him? Or drag your feelings on?" Jericho asked.
"I'm not sure yet. When I kissed him last night, he didn't pull away. I don't know if it's because he was shocked or..." Spencer trailed off.
"Or maybe because he likes you too?"
Spencer shrugged. "Who would like me? Everybody at this school fears me besides you three."
"And Riley. He hasn't run for the hills yet."
Spencer sighed. "I guess...I guess I should tell him and see what he thinks."
"If he says yes, are you gonna ask him out?"
Spencer groaned. "Don't get me started on that. I already feel weird about this whole conflicting feelings for him. I really don't want to think about dating yet."
Jericho then looked at Spencer and grinned. "But you know you want to date him right?"
Spencer nodded. "Especially since Sebastian is practically after him. It makes me sick just to see him all over Riley. I want to claim Riley as mine."
Jericho made another basket. "Then you better hurry up and confess your feelings before Sebastian does it first."
I pressed my back against the tree trunk and tried to control my thumping heart after the shocking news that I just heard.
Spencer likes me? He LIKES me? It's one thing to kiss me when he's not known for becoming physical with anybody, but now he confesses that he likes me and wants me to be his?
I took a couple deep breaths. Okay. There's no need to freak out. I'm really happy to hear this, but also have a little disbelief. I guess i'll get to find out Spencer's true feelings when we work on our project together tonight.
