Topic: Strange Kisses

[secretly-broken]

First of all, it's a story and not a fanfic. Well, enjoy!

Prologue: A Kiss

?Alright, Neva, truth or dare?? Carla asked. I sighed. Why was I doing this again? Oh yes, because my best friend, supposedly thought that I needed something better to do on my Friday nights instead of watching TV. TV is a lot more fun than being in a stupid sleepover with 2 dozen girls crowding in the room, playing truth and dare. Seriously!

I heaved a sigh. Might as well have some fun, I thought to myself.

?Dare.? I stated with a shrug and the room swelled with gasps. I rolled my eyes and looked expectantly at Carla, who was apparently known to be the master of all dares. Apparently, whenever someone took a dare from her, they tried to back out, and since they weren?t allowed to do that, they were kicked out of the sleepover and labelled as a ?loser?. That?s why no one ever took a dare from Carla. Well, I would show her.

A grin that could only be described as evil appeared on Carla?s lips.

?Hmm?let?s think?? Carla said thoughtfully, tapping one of fingers against her chin as everyone held onto every word she said. ?Well, since you?re a first timer, we should give you something?easy?shouldn?t we?? I raised an eyebrow at her direction.

?Let?s see?? An eviller grin replaced her evil grin. ?I know, I want you to??

?I told you not to accept dares from Carla!? Emily, my best friend said as she led me out of the house and into the cold night air outside. ?But do you listen to me? Noooo?? I rolled my eyes at her.

?I didn?t want to come here in the first place! You were the one who brought me here. I just thought that I might as well take on a challenge while I?m here.? I said, angered that Emily, the person who had dragged me here in the first place, was telling me off for accepting a stupid dare.

?Are you guys done talking, Neva really needs to get going with the dare,? Carla said, interrupting our conversation. ?Unless of course she wants to back down??

?I?m not backing down, thanks.? I said.

?This could lead to very bad things Nev.? Emily sighed.

?And I can blame you for all the bad things that it could lead to.? I said with a grin.

?On the other hand, it could also lead to very?good things!? Emily said brightly.

?Hurry up!? Carla said, tapping her foot lightly on the ground, with her hands on her hips, looking as if she was high and mighty.

?I have no clue how you can stand her.? I said to Emily.

?Neither do I Nev,? Emily replied. ?Good luck!? With that, she went to join all the other girls as they hid away from me. I heaved a sigh, shivering from the cold breeze.

Come on, somebody come by already. I just stood there for a few minutes, growing more impatient and annoyed by the minute. From the distance, I saw the glow of headlights heading towards me, and readied myself.

A red porche carerra GT came to a halt in front of me. The window rolled down, and I crossed my fingers.

Please let it be a guy, please let it be a guy, PLEASE LET IT BE A GUY!!!

A guy poked his head out of the window. Or rather, a really cute guy poked his head out of the window.

?Are you...ok?? he asked, raising an eyebrow. A small blush crept to my cheeks as I thought of what I was supposed to do now.

?Um?? I started, glancing towards where the other girls were well hidden. Carla had a smirk on her lips, as if saying that I couldn?t do it. I?d show her. I shot Carla a cold glare, before nearing the guy and kissing him quickly on the lips. The guy?s eyes widened and I immediately ran away, trying to get to Carla?s house, where the sleepover was being held.

A few minutes later, I was panting for air on the steps of Carla?s house as the other girls came.

?Oh my god Neva! I can?t believe you did that!? Melanie exclaimed as soon as she saw me. I grinned.

?You should have seen the look on that guy?s face!? Emily exclaimed, patting me on the back. ?I?m proud of you Nev.? Carla just rolled her eyes and strutted inside the house. She was way too full of herself.

[secretly-broken]

Maybe I will.  lol. I'm not very good with songs. Hehe.
Posted on: June 26, 2007, 04:31:44 PMThe first chapter! Wohoo!!!  Enjoy!!!

Chapter 1: New Kid in School

?This world has run out of good songs.? I stated Monday morning, as Emily drove and I tried to pick a radio station but failed due to the lack of good songs these days.

?More like, this world has run out of songs that are liked by you.? Emily replied, keeping her eyes on the road and not even glancing at me as a smirk appeared on her lips. I frowned and turned the radio off.

?Music just sucks!? I announced.

?Says the girl who can play the guitar and the keyboard and the piano.? Emily said.

?Hey, I learned how to play keyboard because I was forced to. Forced to. And it?s only natural that if you can play the keyboard you can play the piano.? I said.

?Yeah, yeah,? Emily said with a wave of her hand. ?But have you seen Carla lately? I think you burst her ego bubble or something because her attitude has most definitely improved.? I grinned widely.

?I?m so proud of myself!? I exclaimed.

??And the arrogance has transferred onto you??

?Hey! Shut up!? I said with a pout as Emily giggled lightly.

?You wanna know what really sucks?? Emily asked, parking the car in an available spot and turning off the engine.

?School??

?Ditto!? We sighed simultaneously and grinned before getting out of the car and heading towards the school building together.

?Another Monday of school.? Emily sighed as she reached her locker.

?And another week to live through,? I said, shaking my head and sighing. ?How many more weeks do we have left in school? I just need some hope.?

?Too many, my friend, too many.? Emily said sadly while patting me on the head. I grinned, stuffing my bag full of heavy books that I needed for my morning classes.

?Hey guys!? Glade, our other best friend, greeted, slinging one arm over each of out shoulders. ?Did you hear about the new guy??

?Noooo! Not another one!? I whined. ?Please tell me that he isn?t one of those arrogant guys who gets popular the first day he steps foot inside the school and has all the female population, with the exception of a few girls, all over him.?

?Ok?I won?t tell you?but then I?ll be lying?? Glade replied slowly, taking in all that I had said. I gave him a glare and slammed my locker shut.

?Whoa! No need to take it out on the locker!? Glade exclaimed. I scowled.

?I hate guys like that! It adds to the arrogance of the ?popular? crowd,? I muttered, getting angrier by the second. ?And to think that school didn?t even start yet.?

?It?s ok Nev,? Glade said, embracing me in a hug. ?I?ll make sure that he doesn?t bug you.?

?It?s ok,? I replied. ?I?ll just bug him right back!? Glade grinned widely and patted my back hard.

?That?s my girl!? he said.

?Yeah, well your girl just got a serious back injury.? I muttered.

?You guys are so weird.? Emily commented with a fond grin.

?But you love us just the way we are!? Glade exclaimed, throwing his arms around Emily. Emily tried to bat him off while giving a few shrill, girly shrieks that had me in a fit of laughter. My best friends could cheer me up without even trying.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
?You know, the kid?s not that bad.? Glade told me while we were waiting for our first period history class to start.
?Is he cute?? I asked. Glade?s face immediately brightened up.

?Yeah!? he said. I rolled my eyes.

?So that?s why you?re defending him.? I said with a smirk.

?But I heard that he?s straight.? Glade?s face fell as he said that. I ruffled his dirty blond hair and grinned.

?Don?t worry. He shouldn?t be for too long, with us around.? Glade?s baby blue eyes lit up with excitement.

?Are you suggesting we do project ?get-straight-guy-to-turn-gay-and-date-Glade???

?Erm?sure?? I replied hesitantly. ?Project GSGTTGDT.?

?And you and Emily are going to help me complete project GSGTTGDT??

?Yep!?

?But what if Emily doesn?t want to help??

?She doesn?t have a choice, Gladwyne.? I said, ruffling his hair once again. Geez, his hair was so silky?and so fun to ruffle!

?Glade.? Glade corrected with a scowl. He hated being called his real name, which is why I called him Gladwyne. Just to annoy him.

?Whatever you say Gladwyne.? I smirked, satisfied at Glade?s annoyed expression. Glade opened his mouth to retort but the history teacher came in before he could do so. Wearing an even more satisfied smirk then before, I tried to listen to the teacher.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
?Doesn?t history suck?? I asked out loud to nobody in particular, at lunch time. ?Actually, scratch that, doesn?t school suck??
?You can say that again,? Emily stated, eying her lunch suspiciously. ?Hey Glade, can you please do me a favour??

?What do you want?? Glade asked raising an eyebrow.

?Can you go get me something from the vending machines? Pretty please?? She batted her eyelashes innocently. Glade heaved a sigh and stood up.

?Oh, and I don?t have any money, so you?ll have to pay.? Emily stated.

?Only because I?m nice.? Glade said, before hurrying off to the vending machines.

?You?re torturing an innocent little boy.? I said.

?Innocent and little? Our Glade? Have you lost it?? Emily asked with a raised eyebrow.

?Has who lost it?? Melanie asked, taking a seat beside me.

?Nev just called Glade innocent and little.? Emily said with a nod of her head.

?You?re joking right?? Melanie asked ?Glade is far from innocent and little!? I rolled my eyes.

?Well, even if he is big?and not innocent, Emily still shouldn?t torture the boy!? I exclaimed.

?Oh! But he?s so much fun to torture!? Emily whined. I rolled my eyes again.

?Torture! That reminds me, we have a new project GSGTTGDT.? I said. Emily?s eyes widened and she banged her head against the table in frustration.

?Again?? Melanie asked. ?Is it on the new guy?? I nodded.

?But remember how it turned out the last time?? Emily asked. ?The guy freakin? moved away, half way around the world!?

?Well, it?ll be different this time,? I explained. ?We?re more experienced now.?

?That?s what you said last time.? Melanie said with a grin. I stuck my tongue out at her.

?Mature.? She commented.

?So Mel, are you in or what?? I asked. ?We could use some more people.?

?Sure?I?m in.? Mel said.

?No Mel! Run away while you can! You don?t want to be one of them!? Emily exclaimed dramatically, reaching out to Melanie. Melanie and I just gave her a questioning look and ignored her.

I got to my chemistry class just before the warning bell rang and rushed to take my seat beside Aaron Smith, giving him a dark glare in the process. He returned my glare before turning away.

Let me tell you something about Aaron Smith, he has short, blond hair with faded blue tips and dark, chocolate brown eyes. Overall, he?s pretty cute. At the start of the year, Aaron had asked me out, but I had rejected him because I wasn?t really interested in dating. Emily and Melanie though wouldn?t have any of that. They convinced me that Aaron was a great guy and made me go on a date with him. We had been dating for quite a while after that. Aaron was a great guy. But then, a few months earlier, when Glade had figured out that he was gay, Aaron had started acting extremely weird. When I asked him what was up with him, he had said that he had a problem with Glade?s homosexuality and that if I still wanted to date him, I?d have to stop talking to Glade. I dumped him after that. From then on, it was nothing but glaring when we met.

?Good morning kids!? My Chemistry teacher exclaimed excitedly. ?I?m sure that you?ve already grown familiar with the new pupil, Paul Freeman, but just to those of you who haven?t, this is Paul.? She pointed at a black haired boy who stood beside her. An extremely cute haired boy that stood beside her that seemed strangely familiar.

And then it hit me. The new kid, Paul Freeman, was the same guy that I had kissed last Friday. And I could have died right there and then.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 2: Sacrifice for the Project

I ducked under my desk, as subtly as I could.

?Neva, what are you doing?? the chemistry teacher asked and everyone, including Paul Freeman, turned to look at me. This was certainly not planned.

?Uhm?I-uh-I dropped my pen.? I stuttered, pretending to look for my pen.

?No you didn?t, your pen is right here on the desk.? Aaron said from above me with a smirk.

?I?dropped my other pen.? I said, heat rising to my cheeks as everyone still kept staring at me.

?Neva, get off the floor.? The chemistry teacher said. I got up, blushing even more than before.

?Now Paul, I?m Ms. Hatton. Now, we must find you a partner but since it?s an odd number now, I suppose you?ll have to join a pair.? Ms. Hatton looked around in the class thoughtfully. Her eyes stopped searching when they landed on me.

No. Please no!

?Why don?t you join Neva and Aaron?? Ms. Hatton asked, her face brightening up. ?Neva is one of my best students?and Aaron has relatively improved since becoming Neva?s partner.?

I buried my head in my head. Someone just kill me now!

?Sure.? Paul said with a shrug. That was the first time that I had heard his voice. It was deep, yet soft and smooth.

?Excellent, they?re right over there.? Ms. Hatton pointed over to us. Aaron strode over to our table and sat down beside Aaron, away from me. I immediately turned my face away, so that he wouldn?t be able to recognise me. God knows what would happen if he recognised me.

?Now, we are going to be working with some?harmful chemicals today, so just be aware of that,? Ms. Hatton said as she started writing the experiment up on the board. ?Now, these chemicals aren?t harmful enough to cause death or such, but they are still harmful. So try not to be clumsy.?

?Neva.? Aaron said from beside me. This guy was seriously getting on my nerves.

?I think you?re mistaking me for someone else Aaron.? I said in a sickly sweet voice.

?Really? Who could I possibly mistake you for??

?How about you? I should know how clumsy you are.? I retorted. Aaron opened his mouth to say something back, but I cut him off.

?Look, let?s just get started right? And at least try not to hurt somebody as hard is that may be.? I said. Aaron rolled his eyes and went off to get the equipment. That?s when I noticed a pair of eyes on me. I turned to face Paul, staring at me with amusement clearly written all over his face.

Blood rushed to my cheeks as soon as I saw him. Did he recognise me? We didn?t get a chance to talk as Aaron came back, wearing a sneer and carrying the equipment.

?You could help you know.? He said, setting everything down on the table.

?I could, but I don?t really want to.? I replied with a roll of my eyes. I turned to look at the board, reading what we had to do for the experiment. Seemed easy enough. I turned back to my partners, to see them talking and not paying attention to me.

Hmm?dangerous chemicals and my ex-boyfriend. Maybe I could have some fun?

I shook my head.

No, get rid of evil thoughts, Neva. They could get you suspended, or even expelled.

But if I was subtle and they never found out?

Hmm?

Well, he definitely deserves it?

Hmm?

I looked over to where the teacher was, at the other side of the room, helping a pair with their experiment. An evil smile spread over my lips but I got rid of it as quickly as I could, formulating my plan in my head.

?Alright boys! Let?s get started!? I said, clapping my hands together.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 minutes later, Aaron was being carried off to the nurse?s office because I had spilled a chemical on his hand, by mistake. And apparently the chemical was supposed to do a LOT of harm, though if it was rid of quickly, it shouldn?t do much harm. He was almost crying in pain. I really want to do one of those evil laughs that the villains in cartoons do but restrained myself, putting on a regretful mask.
?I am so sorry Aaron!? I called after him.

?It?s alright Neva, it wasn?t your fault.? Ms. Hatton told me.

?Oh, but I feel so bad!? I said, pretending to be choking back tears while I was really holding back that evil laugh.

?It?s alright Neva, accidents happen.? Ms. Hatton said. Just then, the bell rang and I dashed out of the classroom as soon as I could, not wanting to keep on that charade of regret anymore.

?You did that on purpose didn?t you?? I heard a voice say beside me, and even though I had barely heard that voice before, I could still tell who it belonged to.

?Um?I don?t know what you?re talking about Paul.? I said as blood rushed to my cheeks?again! Geez, why did I keep blushing every time Paul was there?

?Your name?s Neva right?? Paul asked.

?Uh?yes.? I replied.

?Why?d you do that to Aaron?? he asked. He didn?t sound pissed or amused. Just genuinely curious.

?I didn?t??? That is just the worst lie I?ve ever said. And believe me when I say I?ve lied a lot.

?Riiiight?you know I saw you right?? Paul asked with a raised eyebrow. ?And it definitely didn?t look like an accident from where I was standing.? I blushed even harder. I didn?t even think that it was possible to blush this hard! Ugh!

?Ok, so maybe it wasn?t an accident.? I admitted. Paul smirked.

?So why?d you do it??

??Cause he?s an butthole ,? I replied. ?It?s a really long story and right now I have to get to cl-? I cut myself off as soon as I saw that the corridors were empty and that class had already started. One glance at my watch told me that it had been almost 10 minutes since class had started.

?****!? I exclaimed ?You! You made me late for class!? Paul smirked.

?You could have gone to class if you wanted, it?s not like I was forcing you back or something.? Well, he was right but that doesn?t mean that I can?t glare at him.

So I glared at him before walking away, towards my classroom, but turned back when Paul started talking again.

?You do realise that I can tell everyone what really happened, and you?ll most likely be suspended, right?? Paul said. I turned back to glare at him.

?You wouldn?t do that.? I stated.

?And why wouldn?t I?? he asked. Well, I was asking myself the same question?

?Because?? I drifted off and Paul smirked satisfactorily.

?Now, if you?re just a little nicer to me?? Paul suggested thoughtfully.

?Are you blackmailing me?? I asked.

?Yes, that?s exactly what I?m doing.? Paul admitted.

?Why would they believe you over me?? I questioned.

?Because Smith will be helping me too.? He replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

?Aaron doesn?t know.? I said.

?So?? I glare at him some more, trying to find a way out of my predicament. I couldn?t get a suspension; my parents would most likely murder me. But I couldn?t give in to Paul. It?s about dignity! But then I thought back to project GSGTTGDT. If I gave in to Paul, it would definitely be a help to the project?.Hmm?what to do? What to do?

?Fine.? I said dejectedly. ?What do you want from me??

?I?ll think of something.? Paul said his smirk still in place. He turned to leave.

?Wait!? I called him back. Paul turned around and raised an eyebrow in my direction.

?Yes?? He asked. What I wanted to ask was if he recognised me. Not that I wanted him to or anything?but I was just curious.

?Uh?never mind.? I muttered. And I watched as Paul walked away?great! Now the new, arrogant (not to mention cute) addition to the popular crowd had blackmail material on me. I hate school so much! Ugh!
