I look at the boy, who turned around to look at me.
" What's the matter?" I ask.
Niki takes a breath, his eyebrows furrowing.
" I like a girl,"
Oh. WHOO DOES HE LIKE? I wanna know.
" Oh who?"
" I can't tell you,"
" Why not?"
" Then I'd be confessing."
" Confessing? You like me?"
" Yes, I liked you since we were young,"
" Oh..." I say, my mouth suddenly getting dry. I don't know what to say. Sure, I did like him back then, but it's been so long, I almost forgot about him. Yes, he's cute, but I'd be breaking Kakie's heart, and I don't want to do that. Plus, I don't trust myself with my heart. And probably not Niki.
" You don't have to give me an answer, just think about it, and let me take you on three dates,"
" Hmm okay then, goodnight Niki," I say, walking back home, feeling slightly guilty.
A couple weeks or so past. Me and my group are busy talking about the new gossip.
Apparently, last night, a boy was found dead in a classroom. Theo. Dead. Blood poured from his head, dripping onto the floor, a girl told me. I wonder who did it. Maybe I did it?? Who knows.
" Seriously, didn't the school check the cameras?" asked Vika.
" Apparently someone broke the cameras in the school," says Somi.
" Well at least Theo won't be around raping my sister," says Niki.
" I guess, but he was still ni-" I say, being cut off by Celeste.
" He was not nice, he's just a playboy, honey," C says.

Throughout the next month or so, me and my friends are busy finding out who murdered Theo. I have a few suspects. For example; his ex- girlfriend could have killed him, or maybe someone who hates him. Right now, I'm hanging out with Niki, as I promised to go on dates with him. I'm kind of excited. It's my first date with Niki.

Stepping outside, I walk over to the ice skating rink. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Ah I see him.

Damn. He's fine.
" Hey, " he says, walking towards me, and linking his arm for me to hold. I smile at the boy and do so. I follow him to the rink, and pick out our skates.
I'm busy struggling to put the skates on without slicing my fingers off, when Niki helps me put my feet inside, and does my laces, his eyes furrowed with concern.
" There, all done," he says, standing up, and helping me walk to the rink on the skates. Fuck. I can't fall for you. It's way too late now. My heart hammers in my chest, butterflies somersaulting in my lungs, flapping uncontrollably. " Niki-" I say, but is cut off, when I slip on the ice.
In a split second, I close my eyes, scared of the fall, when I feel I'm not falling. I blink my eyes open and see his face inches away from mine, holding me steady, then helping me stand up.
" Are you okay, princess?"
Princess?? Me?? HELLO I ALMOST FELL AND U CALL ME A FUCKING PRINCESS? Are you insane?
" Yea, yea, I'm fine, " I say, brushing my bangs out of my face.
" Last one to that place grants the winner a wish," says N, smirking at me.
" Fine, but you have to go backwards," I say, " 3,2,-"
I was about to say 1 when Niki raced all the way to the place backwards, me skating forwards, trying to beat him. Failed. Of course he won.
- time skip -
" but you cheated," I say, tying up my shoes. (we took the skates off first)
" That doesn't matter. Grant me my wish,"
" What is it?"
The boy leans closer to me, stopping at my ear whispering," kiss me,"
Kiss you? I shouldn't fall in love with him. But guess what. I did. And all that mattered at that time, was him. Niki. Can I really kiss you? Can I really taste you? Can I really have a taste of you?
Facing the boy, I lean in, one hand in his hair, the other cupping his cheek. I press my lips onto his, and he kisses me back, hand grasping the back of my head. I smell him. His strong, musky cologne. His hair, smelling like honey, I could just eat it.
As I kissed him, feeling sparks fly. Sparks, dancing through him kissing me. Just pure lust. Or is it love?
