[ Kyle's Pov]

The moment I kissed her I felt something pulling shortly in my stomach which I usually don't feel when I kiss any other girl. The feeling I had when I was with my first love who ended up breaking my heart some years ago and turned me into the player I am today. Even though Elora is my junior, I really liked her straight-fowardness and her sense of humor even in the little things she does. But actually it was just a quick short kiss and nothing serious, afterall she asked me to do so which of course wouldn't miss an opportunity to have a taste of her soft plump pink lips. not gonna lie, I kinda liked it but it seemed like she had never kissed before which I'll ignore that for now but I hope she doesn't think what happened was real, maybe.

Kyle laid on his bed with his thoughts flooded with the moment he spent with Elora not ignoring the fact that she kind of had a little effect on him. A smirk played on his lips at the thought of that...

Elora wakes up to the sound of pop music coming from the other side of her room door. She quickly gets off the bed and run towards the door opening it like a raged old woman. "Why did you come back again?!" She yells at the woman standing inside the room opposite hers with the door opened. She looked her up and down taking in her appearance, she wore a beige cargo pant which made her slim waist appear smaller with a black cropped top clinging a bit to her upper part and her hair tied up in a bun and a nude coloured lips which matched her brown skin. A true definition of a melanin girl. "Gosh Raye you have come again to take away my shine...I was so happy and free when you weren't here" Elora walks towards Raye's bed and sits on it. "Poor Elly must have missed me that much huh. And I like your hair looking messed up like this which makes me remain the prettiest" Raye adds with a smile playing on her lips."well too bad I was the prettiest yesterday and kissed a guy" Elora speaks out with an excited look on her face. She tells Raye about how everything started and ended and tells Her about her plan to make a move. "No way Elly, that's way not happening" Raye raises with a not-approving-this look on her face at the mention of my plan. "But I think he also likes me. I mean we kissed right so ..." "Elora I know you like him but maybe you shouldn't rush and be chill. Take it as a one time thing and nothing more. If he really likes you he'll ask you out. Come on it's time for Saturday movie night Babe come on"...

Elora, my cousin and also one of my favorite people on earth ended up on my bed with her usual boring welcomes. We used to not like each other that much but things changed during on of our family gatherings and we kind of got close. I was so happy I was on vacation but the thought of starting an internship in one of the biggest laboratory in Cali which was why I came to live with my uncle for a while was a bit annoying, can't believe I'm growing up. Elora started with her blabbing and sharing her stories with me. The thought of her being the first person to ask out such a popular person at school which she had told me about earlier during our conversation on the phone. Nah, and he's also her senior ?, I mean come on. These combo never end well. Okay I don't want to tell her the truth that her dreams were never gonna happen so I had to bring up the Saturday movie excuse up.

The school hallway was filled with students buzzing around, chitchatting by friends and other cliques. Elora and her friends among the crowd walking towards their class, "So girls how do I look?" Elora waits for their opinion on her looks. Nora and Jenny look at each other shortly and back at Elora taking in her appearance. She wore a pretty little thing white crop top with a light blue jeans jacket and a baggy jeans which matched with the jacket , a pair of white coloured Nike with a little of blue colour present and a black choker on her neck. She had curly dark brown hair tied in a bun with a slight makeup on her face. She looked simple and normal as always but with the exception of her makeup.

"What?" Still waiting for their response. They both looked at her. "I think you look... stunning and absolutely gorg" Nora adds in to Jenny's words "yeah you is killerrrr...mhm. But why did you-..." "I'm going to shoot my shot today on Kyle. I know maybe after the kiss we might be something more you know..." Elora cuts in. "El do you think it's a good idea? Why don't you wait-..." "No. I'm doing this today and nothing's going to stop me. Trust me everything will be fine...."

Nope everything isn't fine right now. I stood there with Kyle in an empty classroom thinking this whole thing meant something to him but all he could say was "I'm sorry if I gave you false hope about us. I was just trying to help you out to make you feel better. Maybe it was a mistake to kiss you at the first place...but we could still be friends okay. if that's cool with you.." a mistake?False hope? Friends? For real? Like really? These literally broke me. At least he could have stopped me or pushed me away and told me it wasn't right and I would find a way to understand and move on with the crush but he didn't and kissed me back and after that he wants to be just friends. Wow. Should have seen this huge blow coming. I stood there dumb and speechless blinking and not knowing whether to cry or smile or laugh or clap or slap him in the face which I couldn't and wouldn't make sense. "It's cool, it's cool...we can be friends" I faked a smile on my face with the words I uttered bitter in my mouth. Damn I want to melt and disappear right now at this moment. He smiled at me shortly "I'll see you soon then pal" wait 'Pal' ? Like for real?. I watched him turn and exit the classroom leaving me standing inside alone. I don't know why I wasn't crying even tho I wish I was so bad. But I felt something in me tense up making it some how hard for me to breathe before I had tried to calm myself down and loosened up a bit. I sat on one of the tables wishing I hadn't wrote that letter confessing how I liked him more after we kissed and telling him to meet up so we could talk. If only I knew I would be rejected. Of course he's the hot and popular Basketball player of the school with tons of girls hovering over him who may be way more prettier than me. Then, I remembered what he had told me the night we had kissed that I was 'one of' the prettiest girl he had known. Right. So there has been a lot of pretty girls he's known. What if he lied to me?. I can't believe I've been played, maybe. I wonder if he was really a player too....
