Chapter Twenty-Two

I was really happy and feeling good for the first time in the past hectic few weeks. Graduation was a few months away and I can't barely contain the happiness to realize that high school will soon be over! Yay!

Justin and I branched to Lá Cream Lá Cake for some dessert. I had a chocolate vanilla muchin cake while Justin had a plain yogurt. Yikes!

None of it is real. I made it up!

We finished and drove back home around past nine. Justin stopped at his house on my insistence that should see his parents. I don't wanna be the reason he'll be having some issues with his parents especially his mom, since I got the notion that she hates me now.

'I don't wanna go in there', he pouted when I stopped in his driveway looking inside the house. Only the living room and the kitchen lights were on illuminating a soft light glow outside the house.

I sighed dramatically and cleared my throat for another speech. 'We've already talked about this and you promised you would go', I said explaining slowly like I was talking to a child.

'But..', he tried to argue pouting his lower lips out to me giving me the cutest puppy eyes I've ever seen. That made me all wanna go crazy again, desperate to have his lips on mine again.

I licked my lips, coating it with my own saliva quickly but it didn't go unnoticed. Justin shift his gaze from my eyes to my lips, over and over gain. He gulped in his seat and tried to continue the conversation. I grinned internally knowing the slight change in my demeanor also has an effect on him.

'Stop doing that! We're having a serious conversation here', he groaned pouting again.

'Doing what?', I feign innocence.

'This!', he said smashing his lips on mine harshly but with a subtle touch. He didn't kiss me like I thought he would, he took my lower lips in his mouth and sucked like never before. I tried to coerce him into kissing me but he held my wrist down firmly. I grunted and squirmed trying to get some attention to my lips but he didn't budge. He drew back and rubbed my cheeks with his thumbs looking into my eyes like I was the reason he lives.

He smiled lovingly at me and leaned down to give me a chaste kiss. Then another one and again and again. I giggled like a young schoolgirl in love. 'I love you'.

'I love you so so much more'. I was about to attack his lips again when we heard a loud bang on the side of the car. I shrieked in fear and clung onto Justin like a chicken. Don't blame me! Teen Wolf got me to this point!

'Hmm Hmm'. Was heard from outside.

We turned both our heads to look at the intruder only to find out that its Justin's mom. She shook her head raising her eyebrows, giving that 'You are in big trouble face'.

I gulped waiting for the worst, then Justin turned to me and held my face in his hands. 'Kylie, I want you to relax and go home'.

I opened my mouth to say something, when he put one finger against my lips to shut me up.

'I'll be fine. Please for me', he gave me that puppy eye again. Darn it! I'm a sucker for that eye.

I couldn't say anything but just nod when he has his finger against my lips not that I want him to remove it anyway. It felt good! Everything about him feels good and do unimaginable things to me. Just a single touch of his, I melt away.

'Stop talking in your head', he say smirking.

I glared at him but smiled anyway. He knows me too much. The incessant knocking keep disturbing our lovely moment. I groaned, he chuckled and gave me another kiss on the lips. 'Justin Theodore Payne! OUT. HERE. NOW. ' , his mother blared.

He groaned and unlocked the car. 'Hi Mrs Payne', I greeted.

She didn't reply but only looked at me giving me the hateful cat eye. I grimaced and sunk down in my seat. I drove away but not before Justin's mom dragged him inside. My heart sunk, my mind already imagining how I wouldn't see Justin anymore on the insistence of his mom. I just can't imagine that coming true.

I went home to the waiting arms of my lovely parents (sarcasm), they asked me about my date and where is Justin? My dad asked that particular question

'He's fine Dad. He was just called home for an emergency'. I went straight to my room after the brief questioning, had a quick shower and lay in bed with my phone in hand staring at it intensely.

Whose call I'm I expecting? Justin of course! He hasn't called me since two hours after our departure and I miss him already. Don't blame me! Love does that to you. I giggled remembering our last romantic session, I can already imagine his touch on mine as my body tingled with anticipation. I shouldn't be having this thought right now when I'm supposed to be worried about him and the current situation he's in.

I hope he's alright! I fell asleep with that thought on my mind.

I woke up as early as six thirty the next morning right before my alarm ring. I put it off and set it aside on my table. I set down my outfit for school which include a polka dot blue red short length dress that reached just right on my knee cap paired with a red flannel jacket and boots. I rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower since its almost seven. After getting out of the bathroom, I rubbed off the glistening water and rubbed some scented lotion on my body and braided my hair in a French braid, simple but classy. I smiled at my myself in the mirror doing the thumbs up. Why? Because I'm going to Justin's house this morning. I needed it to face his mom. Phew!

I carried my backpack across my shoulders and kissed my parents 'good morning'. My dad looked surprised but my mom just smiled knowing the reason obviously. Moms I know!

For the first time, I had a full breakfast. I ate everything on the table and was full to the brim. Once the clock hit seven thirty, I bade my dad goodbye and said the same to my who was in the kitchen but not before she hollered, 'Have a nice day honey', blowing me kisses. My dad frowned at this and looking at me, I just shrugged as well.

I decided not to take my car with me since Justin's house was not far from mine and the school was just a ten minutes walk as well. That means I should be in school at most by eight. I had a guttering feeling settled in the pit of my stomach like something was wrong. I shrugged it off just as an intuition. I got to Justin's house ten minutes later die to my slow walking, I knocked on the door lightly and waited for someone to come check. To my surprise, its Justin's elder brother Austin who came, I sighed in relief. 'Hey Kylie, How have you been?', he hugged me lightly.

'I've been good', looking into house for any traces of Justin. I quickly asked, 'Is Justin still around?', hoping he would say yes. He was about to reply when his mom came out of the house, 'He's not here. Just left a few minutes ago'. Austin furrowed his brows and tried to say something but his mom glared at him as if saying 'Dare me'. Weird I thought!

'OK. Please tell him I came by. Bye!', I said as I walked back, she didn't even try to reply. All I heard was the jamming of the door.

I walked back on my way to school when I saw glances of Justin sitting at a picnic table few blocks from our school. And he isn't even alone! He's sitting with a girl with black auburn hair, with pretty pink lips. I couldn't see more of her as I was jolted out from my spying by the blaring of a car. Guess who?

My ex - best friend, Hailey. 'Get out of my way loser', she said as she drove into the school's parking lot. I ducked down my head as I walked past by many students in the hallway. I couldn't stand the noise anymore, I quickly took out the books I needed for class and went straight to the library which is at Th back of the school. I was a few meters from the library door with my phone in hand, checking whether I had any messages or calls from that one person. None, I groaned. I wasn't exactly looking at where I was going when I rammed into someone soft and smells good.

The books I had in hand fell immediately with a thud eliciting a big Shh from other readers in the library(the windows were open). 'I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. Are you okay?', I apologized.

'Its okay. I wasn't either. I am actually looking for a student here, Kylie Bay. She's supposed to tour me around the school, I'm a transfer student'.

'I'm Kylie', I was surprised seeing the principal could choose me for something like this.

'I'm Chloe, thank God I found you. I've been walking around enough I can't seem to get you. The bump was a good one yeah?', she tried to joke.

I just nodded. We were totally gonna be friends, I could see already.

'Friends?', she said taking her right hand out towards me for me to shake.

'Totally!'. I shook her hand back which I gladly took. Maybe having this one friend wouldn't be bad and besides Chloe's a transfer student. She can't be bad I thought. Gesturing her to come as I show her all around the school. She seems fascinated, cool, brilliant and outspoken. Something I couldn't be, but I didn't say it out aloud to her.

She is a very pretty girl with a black auburn hair blessed with a Caucasian nose like that of Elizabethan and well plum cheek bones. Her round face looks like that of a new born baby - firm, full and soft. Her lips was full, pink and radiant. She has a body like that of a Victoria's secret model. I can see the jocks ogling her already but she seems like she's taken mentioning a guy from our school and also a senior that she likes.

'What's this guy name?', I ventured.

'Justin. Cute, typical nerdy guy with glasses with brain of Einstein', she said as he picked her schedule and locker key from the reception. Her locker is just a foot from mine. We only had the two class after lunch together h History and Fine Arts. She had Chemistry and English first period while I had English and Gym. Darn this school! Who has Gym on a Monday?

She bade me bye as she walked off to her class after I toured her around the school and showed her the room for class. I walked to my class to with Justin on my mind.

It's can't be Justin she's talking about right? Couldn't be?

Could it?
