Far from the surface

The Kiss.

It's been 3 weeks and no matter how many messages I leave or how many times I call he doesn't bother to return them. I was slowly loosing my mind as I had absolutely no idea if he was ok, if he was safe or if he was hugged up with some rando. However, knowing Liam him being hugged up with some rando isn't far fetched in fact, it's the most likely reason for him to be ignoring me. And that hurt like hell but I've been moping around for weeks I was sick and tired of being sad. I quickly grabbed my bag as soon as I heard the bell as I made my way down the halls and into the cafeteria. If you thought I hated MC you have no idea how much I loathed these rich and entitled brats. I quickly made my way to the only empty seat in the room though to my dismay. It was in the center of the room I immediately blocked out all the stares and whispers as I sat and started reading through my books.

Besides, what exactly did these morons know about me? Separate and apart from the fact that I was screwing around with one of Heaven dale's baddest thugs. I swear I had no idea how Katie hadn't found out about us yet, or maybe she did but she was being oblivious? It was truly beyond me but what I know is that everybody who was anybody knew I was screwing Andrews. Except for James, he doesn't seem to know much about me or MC. And why would he? I was new here besides the fact that half the majority of the school already knew me from MC. I couldn't help but wonder if James heard all the horrible things that were said about me. "She used to be so wild." "I heard she was screwing around with Liam and her foster dad."

He must've heard those right? He was just as popular as Liam, he was an athlete and on the school monarchy they are always at the top. Maybe he didn't care ? Maybe for once in my life someone wanted to give me the benefit of the doubt? Besides, I was a completely different person than I was back then. I wasn't using as much, I was completely and utterly focused on my studies now I wasn't about to wreck my second chance. 'These rich dorks really knew nothing about me.' I tried to convince myself but failed seeing that they were spot on with most of their facts. But how could they have known? Back when I was still enrolled at MC I remember just how much majority of my schoolmates hated Green dale university. They would always make jokes about the rich and prestige being the real evil and how they hated outcasts. I guess they were right, the fact that these assholes knew about Morty made me sick to my toes. Why would they think I was dating my 'step dad?' I mentally gagged. These upper class dipshits were totally rivals but definitely not a threat or at least that's what I thought.

"Haven't been seeing you around campus lately." James said knocking me out of my train of thoughts before sitting in the empty seat next to me.

"Or maybe you were just being a good boy by not bothering to look. Since you don't have either one of my quick fixes." I retorted before closing my text and spinning in my chair so I was facing him.

Which was a huge mistake

He smirked slightly before leaning towards me. "I can't help but wonder if you're just as much of a badass in bed as you are on a daily basis." He said brushing his lips against my cheek. I quickly glanced around the cafeteria praying no one saw us but of course. I'm not so lucky as we were getting a few stares here and there.

This is not good.

James Cooper, ladies and gentlemen my supposedly second love interest. Thinks about me in a sexual way? I swear to you if my hormones were a person they'd be squealing with excitement. But they aren't, I am, and I'm Jade Taylor so there's no way I'm allowing him to win this tease test.

"Funny you should say that, because 'I' was wondering if you're 'little friend' is as big as your ego." I said making sure I dragged each word before turning my cheek so that our lips were inches apart.

'One sudden move and we would be kissing.'

I guessed he was thinking the same thing because his eyes slowly averted to my lips. As he stared for what felt like a hour but it was really half of a second before he licked his lips. And stroked my cheek with his finger before placing his hand around the back of my neck. Pulling me into him as he pressed his soft lips against mine. Without hesitation or thinking much on the matter I pulled his hair roughly dragging him closer towards me. While deepening the kiss as my fingers tangled through his hair. He slowly placed his other hand on my waist as if to keep me in place. It was in that very moment I knew I had to pull away. So after a mental battle with my hormones I stopped.

'Damn he's hot'. I thought as my eyes roamed his face while I tried catching my breath.

His breathing was heavy and his eyes were full of lust. He wants me. I quickly grabbed my books and exited the cafeteria. Without even giving so much as a second glance in his direction. Since he wants to be a tease so bad I'll play his game. And it looks like I won this time now all I have to do is avoid him for the rest of the day. I couldn't help but place my fingers on my lips reminiscing about our kiss. What did this small gesture even mean? I also couldn't help but to feel slightly guilty as I thought about Liam and if anyone who witnessed the kiss would tell him.
