Your pov: 

"Can we stop by somewhere for a small bite, I'm getting a little hungry now." Douxie asked. Well, maybe I could eat something light before I buy the card for my cousin.

"Sure, what are you thinking of- hide!" I dragged Douxie to the nearest corner that led to the restrooms. Oh no, why did that jerk have to be everywhere? Arcadia sure is a small town.

"Woah, what's going on?" Douxie asked.

"Shh. He can't know I'm here." I placed a finger on Douxie's lips as I peered outside to see him, the red flag, my ex. I could imagine the millions of daggers shooting out of my eyes and targeting them at him. Let me explain.

In my final year of High school, I dated the floorball captain Jordan. On the outside, he was your typical 'too handsome to handle' type of guy. On the inside, he was nothing but obsessive and clingy and full of red flags which I shall explain in a bit. Don't get me wrong, I'm alright with clingy guys, but in this case, he was overly clingy with me. Thanks to this jerk, I failed my best subject in school when the finals were getting close. That's when I decided to end things with him after I graduated from Arcadia Oaks High, which also meant that our relationship barely lasted for a year. Jim also didn't like him. He vented to me about how Jordan would always hit on juniors, especially on Claire and her friends. Rumour says that he's currently going out with a freshman in the cheer squad right now. He's 18, and the junior is probably 13 or 14? Ew, he targets someone 4, 5 years younger than himself? Totally not cool. But obviously, I don't give a damn now. Sure, he had a pure heart and treated me well when we were a thing but I wish I found out the red flags in him earlier.

He made me download a tracking app and track where I would go 24/7. If I switched off my location, he'll question me as if I'm cheating on him. Seriously, I think I should be the one questioning him instead if he switches off his location. And obviously I could never focus on my work because of my phone constantly vibrating with messages and calls from none other than him. Even if put my phone on do not disturb mode, he'll still try to call me, evident by my phone lighting up with his caller ID on it. It got annoying and crazy to the point that he climbed up a ladder to my window to see me a few times when I'm studying. It's like I can never be free from him. He does control me a little too, asking me to send pictures of what I wear before I hang out with my friends but obviously after taking the picture, I'll change back into the clothes I thought of wearing in the first place before going out. Thank the lords that I broke up with him as soon as high school ended. And now that we're no longer a thing and I blocked him on almost every social media platform I have, he's still not over the breakup, after a year and is crawling back to me as if I'll ever get back together with that jerk.

"Who is this 'he'?" Douxie asked. I can't believe I'm doing this. Before the red flag and his group of friends walked by, I leaned against the wall, pulling Douxie with me, maintaining eye contact with him and replied, "I need a favour."

"What's up?" Douxie asked. I didn't say anything. I took off the cap I wore and pressed my lips against Douxie's, the cap covering both our faces so Jordan wouldn't know it's me. I wasn't thinking straight but honestly speaking, Douxie looked irresistible, I really wanted to kiss him. Maybe I'm delusional but the urge to put my lips on his was real. It felt like I was falling in love again but with a man with green flags, but I wasn't sure. Words could not describe how awesome that kiss was, it felt like all the butterflies in me flew out, the sparks in me flew out. It definitely felt way better than when the red flag kissed me. He plants kisses on my cheeks often, a few on my forehead, my hand and on the side of my lips which honestly speaking, is the weirdest place for someone to plant a kiss at. As the both of us pulled away, I could see Douxie's cheeks flashing red as he continued to stare at me. I guess he was at a loss of words because of the sudden move.

"Thank you, I promise I'll explain everything. Coast is clear now, let's go." I said, walking out of the corner while I thought about my first kiss... on the lips. I would do it again. Wait, what am I thinking? Oh no, I think I've fallen for this dork.

Douxie's pov:

"Shh. He can't know I'm here." Y/n shushed me, placing a finger on my lips. Who is this 'he' she's talking about?

"Who is this 'he'?" I asked. Suddenly, she leaned against the wall, pulling me by my shirt till both our eyes met. What is going on? I felt my heart beating faster every minute as I waited for her next word or movement. She took off the cap she wore and suddenly it happened, her lips met mine while she held out her cap beside us. Obviously, I was taken aback at first but then I felt many things. My heart exploded and felt like it stopped beating too. The taste of her chap-stick, was it strawberry or bubble gum? Or was it strawberry bubble gum? Whatever flavour it was, it tasted sweet. My eyes slowly closed as I enjoyed the feeling of a girl kissing me. I probably wouldn't hesitate to kiss a girl but... this time, it's the opposite, I didn't know what to say. As we pulled away, my cheeks flashed red as I stared at her. She looked so... perfect in my eyes. But I'm not sure if she feels the same for me. What am I thinking, we only met a few weeks ago, texted a few days ago and now we kiss when we barely know each other? Things are happening fast between us. She then said, "Thank you. I promise I'll explain everything. Coast is clear now, let's go." As I walked next to y/n, I couldn't help but think about the kiss. It felt... amazing, satisfying. I would trade off something I don't need to kiss her again. Oh my god, is this what people say 'falling in love'? I think I'm falling for y/n...

"About just now, I can explain, for real." Y/n started. After buying the birthday card for her cousin, we sat at a café for a little snack while y/n decided to tell me what was going on.

"I'll explain the long story next time because this story is really a long one and we don't have a lot of time today." She said.

"I understand, just tell me what's going on." I reassured. She took a deep breath before summing up her story, "I have an obsessive ex." She used to date someone? Woah, that was... unexpected.

"Obsessive in what way?" I asked.

"It feels like I could never have my own space you know. He wants to know where I am 24/7 so he'll install a tracking app in my phone and if I turn off my location, he'll question me. He'll also text me every second, even when I'm asleep and it's like my life only revolves around this red flag and no one or nothing else." Y/n explained. Even though I have never dated before, I know for a fact that that is not how you treat a girl.

"I'm sorry you went through all that. It's good that you two broke up." I sympathised. "Why don't we get out of here now and head home?" I insisted as she nodded. No wonder she wore a cap out today, in case he would be around to talk to her. As we returned the used plates back to the counter and threw away our drinks, we immediately left and headed to the exit.

"Thanks for today Douxie. If you weren't here and he found me, I'd probably have a hard time dealing with my ex." Y/n thanked.

"No problem. You should definitely file a restraining order on him ASAP." I suggested as y/n chuckled. "Are you sure you'll be alright going home on your own?" I asked.

"I'll be fine, don't worry." Y/n reassured. "I'll talk to you later?" She asked as I nodded. As we both parted ways, I couldn't help but feel worried for y/n. What if her obsessive ex finds her again and haunts her. When y/n wasn't looking, I decided to follow behind her in secret onto the bus she took until she reached the entrance of her house to know she's safe.
