The New Girl

Chapter 29: Kiss

(NEXT DAY.. BRILLIANT HIGH)

Ethan walked into the class expecting to see Annabelle but he didn't.

"My man!" Liam exclaimed and jumped to hug him from behind.

"Hey, what'sup" he chuckled.

"I miss you baby. Will you marry me?" Liam asked.

"Yuck dude, that's gross!!" Ethan hit his head and they both chuckled. "Where's Annabelle?" He asked

"I haven't seen her around, I guess she didn't come to school" Liam replied.

Ethan pushed his lower lips into his mouth as he thought of something. What could be the reason? His eyes met Jennifer, this time, she wave her hand at him and he did the same.

They went to sit on their various seat.

"Hey" Jennifer greeted.

"Hey" Ethan replied.

"Sorry I couldn't show up yesterday, my dad had some problem with himself" Jennifer said.

"It's fine. How your dad?" He asked.

"Worse, I wonder when he is going to get better. It's been years already" Jennifer said.

"I'm sorry" he muttered.

"Thanks" Jennifer smiled, she grab her bag and bought out cakes. "I made these for you guys"

"Thanks Jennie" Liam said from behind and grab the cake from her.

"Hey, that's for Ethan" Jennifer glared

"I know you'll give him the biggest piece so I had to grab it" Liam shrugged.

"Oh really?" Jennifer bought out another one which was even bigger than the one he is eating. Liam gasped.

"I made the biggest one for you since I know you love cakes" Jennifer said and gave the biggest one Ethan.

"Sorry dude" Ethan smiled taking a bite before him.

"That's not fair.. you could have told me"

"You could have been patient" Jennifer said.

"Let me have Selene's own then" Liam said.

"For what?" A voice sounded and they all look up to see Selene staring down at Liam.

"To give you of course" Liam lied.

"Better" Selene said having a bossy look on her face.

The next day, Ethan didn't see Annabelle, she missed another day?! He got worried. Is she not feeling well?

Scar walked into Annabelle's room and raise his brow, seeing her reading a novel.

"I'll go to school tomorrow" she said before the man could sound.

Scar grunt.

"I'm not doing this because of him.. I'm just feeling guilty that's all" she pouted and watch Scar raised his brow. "Fine I'll go to school tomorrow it's a promise" she said.

The next day, she stood before the tall building. The thought of meeting him today made her swallow. 'You can do this, just act like you didn't see him' she said in her head and stepped into the class.

Her eyes met with him, he was busy talking with Jennifer, they had sort things out?.. well that would make it easier for her. He seems fine, and that's great. She observe his attractive physic for a while, and look away when the guy shifted his gaze to her.

"Hey Anna, it's been two day, are you alright?" Daniel asked when she went to sit beside him.

"I.. I am fine, I was just uhm" she stopped not knowing what to say. Beside she can't lie.

"It's okay, I know you have a good reason for it so I covered you up" he said.

"You did?" She asked.

"Yeah, you deserve it" Daniel said.

Annabelle could feel Ethan gaze on her. She badly wants to turn back and look at him, but she couldn't.

"She seems fine" Liam said beside Ethan.

"Yeah" Ethan replied playing with his pen. He could roughly guess what's going on.

The teacher walked into the class and everyone turn serious.

Annabelle had been avoiding Ethan the whole day. She went to the library, knowing Ethan won't think of finding her there. The library was so huge and some students were busy studying in it.

The woman in charge was dozing of a little but she still try to keep her eyes opened. Annabelle walked towards a particular shelf, it contains so many novels. The dark ones.

One of them caught her attention and she made to grab it but....

"Hey" She heard the voice of the person she had been avoiding. How did he know she is here? Her body stiffened.

"Are you not going to turn and look at me?" She heard him asked. Her heart beats fast as she could feel his closeness.

Annabelle slowly turn to him but keep her gaze low. "What do you want?" She asked lowly.

"You" Ethan replied sharply making her to swallow. "Why were you absent for two days huh? You gat me worried and crazy"

"I.." she stopped not knowing what to say..

"You what?" He asked lowly and she kept quiet. His voice was dripping with anger.

"Let me be" she said.

"Hmm, let me guess.. you're avoiding me because of what happened to me that night? You're blaming yourself?" He asked. Annabelle felt busted. "Right?" He asked resting his hand behind her. They were the only one around the corner, with no one watching.

He so close to her, she could hardly breath.

"Why are you staring at the floor and not me?" He asked.

"Just go Ethan" she whispered.

"Fine, I'll leave once you look at me" He said.

Annabelle took a sharp breath and close her eyes for a moment. 'You can do this, just act cold' she said to herself before opening her eyes and look at him.

His face was serious and inches from hers. His eyes were so captivating, she couldn't look away. Can she really avoid him? They stared at each other for a while.

"You said you'll leave once I look at you" She remind him not still looking away.

Ethan lips stretched into an evil smile. Before Annabelle could think, he held her head in place and crashed his on hers, her eyes opened with shock.

This time his kiss wasn't the light and short ones  His lips moved slowly against hers, building up a strange sensation in her. She felt weak on her knee, as if he knew, he held her waist and draw her close to himself.

Annabelle found eyes closing and her lips responding to the kiss, she moved her lips following Ethan's lead. Her mind was going wild, she loves this feeling.

Ethan smirked against her lips and went to the next level by sliding his tongue into her mouth. To his surprise, she responded. Their lips rolled against each other, as the kiss went wild.

Noticing her struggle for air, Ethan broke the kiss and watch her catch her breath. She opened her eyes, and he could see the confusion and desire swirling in her gaze.

"Let's see how you'll avoid me from now on" He whispered and made to leave but then the next action from her shocked him...

Annabelle grab his shirt, pulled him to herself and connected their lips again!!

"Fuck" Ethan growled against her lips....
