I waited for everyone to leave the classroom, being lost in my usual thoughts. As the chore manager, it was my job to see to it that everything was in order and neat.
I went around the school, checking each classroom, eighteen, twelve--four classrooms, until I reached the end. I placed my hand on the knob, turning it as I had with the other twenty.
"God, you really don't know when to stop do you?"
I halted. No one was supposed to be in the classroom. I quirked an eyebrow and went inside the classroom. There was no one there except for a boy.
He looked over, startled as well, but seemed to relax once he realized who it was. He smirked.
"Li, you gave me a scare." He said chuckling.
I rolled my eyes at him. Of course he would be here.
Theon Ericson, ever so surprisingly a person with a bad reputation (with the students only ofcourse, he acts like an angel around adults *insert eyeroll* ).
We did have a weird relationship though. Sometimes I would catch him looking at me, and I would stare back, an indirect staring contest of some sort I guess.
"You, shouldn't be here stupid." I replied teasingly.
He stepped toward me. He was a few inches taller, maybe 6'2, but that didn't stop me from being nonchalant and unnerved. (Sure I had to tilt my face up, but that's nothing).
"Yea? And who's gonna kick me out? You?" He said. Of course. He would always make fun of my height- even though I was only a few inches shorter! (Cries in 5'7. T-T )
I scoffed. "Yeah, I will. Now shoo before I regret letting you go so easily."
He laughed quietly under his breath. "Sure I will. After a request."
I sighed. "What now-"
I didn't get to finish my sentence as he came up to me, our noses nearly touching. I felt my face heat up, and my heart pounding.
He smirked.
"Can't believe I can get you so worked up just by being so close." Theon whispered.
I was strangely aware of how red my face probably was.
"I-"
He came closer.
"You can always say no."
I opened my mouth to yell at him, insult him- anything, but for an unknown reason, nothing came out.
He smiled tentatively- a side I've of him I've never seen.
He brought his lips close to mine, just barely brushing it, he kept doing this for a few seconds, and I felt my heart explode by all the almost-kissing here. I leaned forward, gently placing my lips over his. I had my eyes closed this entire time, and knew that opening it meant looking right at Theon.
I slowly opened my eyes, squinting in the fluorescent light. I looked forward, and saw that Theon had his eyes closed as well. When I finally pulled back for air, he opened his eyes and smiled.
"I've always wanted to do that."

I walked home, giddy with all the excitement. When I reached the doorknob of my house, I realized something.
"I had my first kiss today."
