Drake P.O.V
What just happened? Why did Lily run out like that? I mean, I can't be that bad of a kisser...I've been told I'm pretty good at it actually.
I'm so stupid! I shouldn't have kissed her, but I just had to. She kissed me back, and let me tell you it was one of the best kisses I have ever had. I have had quite a few of them, so I have a lot to compare to. I may seem cocky or arrogant, but what guy isn't?
Lily was something different. She didn't try to impress me, she was just her. I like that. A lot.
I wonder where she ran to. Maybe I should go look for her, but than I would seem clingy, and I don't think she wants to see me anyway.
I have never wanted to chase after a girl. Girls want to chase after me. What is Lily Reed doing to me?

"So why did we have to leave?" Derek asked me with a confused look.
"I wanted to leave Lily and Drake alone, because they like each other, but they won't admit it." I say with a matter of fact tone.
"Don't try to be Cupid because it's just going to end badly." Derek tells me.
"You don't know that! What if they get married and have 19 kids? They could have their own show, especially if one of them is a little person. TLC will be calling them up. I could set them up and make them famous! One day they will be thanking me." I say with a smirk.
"Okay baby, I believe you." Derek says with a smile. The smile that reached his eyes, and his two cute little dimples start to show. Swoon.
"Come on the bell is fixing to ring, let's head to fifth period, and see how much my Cupid skills worked." I said excitedly.
We walk into fifth period and see Lily and Drake, but they're sitting on opposite sides of the room. I give Derek a look and he nods in understanding. I walk over to Lily, while Derek goes over to Drake to see what the issue was between them.
"Hey Lily", I say hoping everything worked out between them.
"Oh hi." She says not really paying attention, but that doesn't stop me from asking what's wrong.
"So did you and Drake get along while y'all were alone?" I ask.
"Yeah....actually no, something happened and-", the tardy bell cut her off.
I stuck up my finger, signaling the one minute gesture. I grabbed a piece of paper and started to pass notes with her.
So what happened?-M
Where should I start...At the beginning it was going fine, we were just asking questions about what we like, the usual. Than all of a sudden he kisses me!-L
That's great!!-M
No! Not great. That's the second time I have talked to him, and we have already kissed! I'm not that kind of girl...I used to date guys just to fool around, but I can't do it anymore. I can't be that girl, she's gone and if he wanted that then he should've met me freshman or sophomore year.
I can't pretend that I don't want to settle down with someone, because I do, but I know where it's going to lead me. It's going to lead me to heart break just like my mom. I know relationships can last, but not in my family, it's like hereditary or something.-L
Woah. This is more than a simple kiss. Maybe I'm not Cupid, Derek was right. He doesn't have to know that though.
Call me after school-M
Okay-L

I walk over to Drake, and get right to the point. "What went down with you and Lily after we left?"
He's caught off guard, but quickly recovers. "Nothing we just talked." He states simply.
"Don't play dumb with me. What really happened?"
He sighs deeply, "We kissed."
"So what's a matter with that?" I ask genuinely confused.
"Dude, she ran off after we kissed."
"Ouch! That bad?" I ask.
"No, actually it was the best kiss I have ever had." He says while his eyes glaze over, like he's replaying the kiss over in his head.
"Are you saying you didn't just want her for a good lay?" I ask. He never settles down, and I'm afraid he never will.
"Are you kidding me, the great Drake Jamison settle down? Pshh! Never, all I need is a good distraction." He says with a grin while looking at Angela Grayson, also known as the school slut.
"Okay dude, whatever floats your boat." I say turning around to catch up on the lesson.

All I need is a distraction. Angela will be perfect. Except she's not any where near as gorgeous as Lily. Wait, I can't be thinking of her, and her round plump lips. Ugh! This is going to be harder than I thought.
I look over and see Lily writing furiously on a piece of scrap paper. All of a sudden she stops, and I look up at her face and see one small tear cascade down her soft cheek.
She looks around making sure no one saw, and when she seems convinced that nobody caught her moment of vulnerability she went back to writing. But I saw. I saw how her eyes glossed over, and how she tried to hold it in, but the need to blink won, and the tear escaped.
The bell rang making me notice that I spent the whole class staring at Lily. Wow...I'm a creep.
As I'm walking to class I catch Megan and Halley both giving me an icy glare.
What did I do? They take one last look and stalk away. Hmm. Weird. Oh well, all I need to worry about is finding Angela before school lets out.
As I the last bell rings I stroll out of class and make my way over to Angela's locker. She comes by not noticing me yet, but I grab her wrist, and small smile grows on her lips. I tug her to the janitor's closet. Good bye Lily Reed and hello Ms. Distraction.

Lily P.O.V
When I get home from school I went straight to my room, ignoring my mom and George. I get out my new cell phone, (perks of having a gold digger as a mom) and I call Megan like she asked
"Hello", she says cheerfully.
"Hey Meg." I reply using my new nickname for her.
"So tell me exactly what happened when I left y'all?" She asks curiosity seeping through her words.
So I replay the story to her. It feels good to tell someone. I know I sound like a immature child when I ran away, but it shocked me in more ways than one.
I can't follow my mom's footsteps, by falling in love, and than get left for some slot machines. That's why I fooled around, and I didn't get too serious with any guys, but after that party-No I can't go back, I can't go back into that dark depression.
Luckily Megan interrupts my thoughts with "I am so sorry! I should have known that Drake was going to make a move on you."
"It's okay...Really, I needed to find out now rather than later." I answer honestly.
"I just thought with the way he was looking at you-he's never looked at anyone like that..." She trails off.
My mom called me down for dinner so I told Megan bye, and headed downstairs.
Once I reach the dining room I notice my mom and George seated at the head of the table with warm smiles on their faces.
"How was your first day?" My mom asks me.
"Great!" I lie.
The rest of the dinner went smoothly with normal conversation. After I finished dinner I went and took a shower, and crashed as soon my head hit the pillow. The last thing I remember are my thoughts telling me goodbye Drake Jamison.
