I'm furious when I pause and look up at him. "You're so infuriating, you know that?! I'm an independent person, I don't need someone constantly-" I'm suddenly cut off with a kiss. That's one way to calm me down. I'm still in shock, so I don't do anything. I slowly kiss him back, placing my hand on the back of his neck, as he places his hand in my hair. I suddenly realize what I'm doing and pull away. "Are you insane?" I ask and I try to regain my breath. He laughs and looks into my eyes. "Yes." "What?" He's clearly insane, I'm sure of it. His amused expression doesn't fade as he speaks. "You asked if I was insane because I kissed you. If kissing you or wanting to kiss you is insanity, then yes, I am completely insane." ______________________________________________ Seventeen year old Bristol Crowell hates the fact that she has an academic rival, Aiden Heist.
