The weekend passed by quick, And I haven't talked to Soyer since.... Well, The kiss. I feel a smile form on my lips as I look into the mirror. I trace my finger over my bottom lip.

          "He kissed me" I say quietly to myself. I've been repeating this over and over in my head, Almost as if I didn't believe it happened.

          As I'm deep in thought I hear a soft knock on my door and then it opens. "don't be late to school sweetheart" my father says as I turn to look at him.

           We hear a cars horn go off in our front yard and I smile. "Good thing my rides here" I say to my father as I get up from the chair and hug him.

          "Bye papa" I say before leaving the room and walking down the stairs, grabbing my bag from the coat rack and heading out the door to see Covers car parked in my front yard.

         "Hey" She says as I get into the front seat. And no, she doesn't know about the kiss... I do plan on telling her obviously though.

     Wait.... Does this mean me and Soyer are dating. Should I ask him?

      "You don't even say hi back? wow, rude" I hear Cover say, I turn to look at her and laugh nervously.

       "Sorry, I just have something on my mind" I say blushing as She looks over at me raising an eyebrow.

      "Does it have something to do with a certain someone?" She questions. I feel my lips morph into a smile.

        "Maybe" I mumble looking out the window with a red face. After a few moments of silence I look at her and then back at the window. "We kissed" I mumble loud enough for her to hear.

        The whole car comes into a screeching stop. "You what?!" she asks while yelling. I stare at her wide eyed at her reaction.

      I clear my throat "I-I said we kissed... its not that big of a deal" I say lying. It was a big deal. I use my fingers to push a strand of hair behind my ear.

         "Not a big deal?! you had your first kiss! and not just that, with a handsome rich man!" She says staring at me. "I had my first kiss under the cafeteria table in second grade!"

       I giggle a bit at her small love story. "Well.. I don't know.. we were yelling one minute and kissing the next" I mumble with a red tint appearing on my face.

         Cover squeals and starts the car up again. "O.m.g" she says one letter at a time. "My bestfriend finally kissed a guy!" she says in excitement. I don't say anything back and just sit there in embarrassment.

         After about 5 minutes we arrive at school, each of us stepping out of the car, When I get out I walk around and link arms with Cover. We don't say anything but I catch her looking over at me with a huge grin every now and then.

         When we reach the classroom we separate and go to our usual seats. I take a pencil out and lay it out on my desk, The person next to me starts digging into his bag, looking for a pencil I suppose. When he can't find one he looks at me with a guilty look on his face. He cleared his throat. "Can I uh, borrow a pencil?" he asks with an awkward laugh.

       "yeah, sure" I say with a smile as I grab my pencil bag and look for a pencil. I grab a pink led pencil that has a blue cotton candy design all over it. "Here you go" I say handing it to him. He looks at the pencil before hesitantly grabbing it.

    "Thanks, you're Delaney right?" he asks and I nod my head to let him know he was correct. "Cool, I'm Lucas"

        "I know" I mumble and look at the door, waiting for the teacher to walk in at any moment. When I turn back to Lucas he's still looking at me.

   "Am I being weird? If so I apologize. I just don't have many friends" he says laughing nervously.

          "Oh, you weren't.. Um I only have one friend so I know how it feels" I say with a small laugh. It's true I only have one friend, After what happened with Soyer I'm not even sure if you'd call us friends anymore. But what about Mason? I've only talked to him twice but I'd like to be friends with him.

      "Do you want to be friends?" he asks with a smile on his face.

         "Yeah, I'd like that" I say as his blue eyes light up with joy, and his smile somehow going wider.

      Just as he was about to say something the teacher walked in. "Hello class" he says in a loud voice, making sure everyone can hear him. "As many of you know, I was talking about an upcoming assignment for you all last week". 

      "Over the weekend I decided which groups you'll be in, so if you all can sit patiently as I call them out, I'd be very grateful" he says with a smile.

       He takes out a peice of paper from his folder and begins reading off the list of names. Sadly cover wasn't in my group. she was paired with Stephanie and Andrews. I feel bad for her. Stephanie talks about anything but school work and Andrews, well he isn't known for doing his part in a assignment. 

      As the teacher continues on he finally gets to my group.

        "Delaney, Lucas and Marcus" he calls out and continues on.

       Suddenly my stomach feels like it's dropped and I wish I was paired with Stephanie and Andrews instead.. Anything would be better than... Marcus Parnell.

       Lucas must have noticed how my face went pale, or how my breath went shaky because he looked at me with a concerning face. He put his hand on mine before asking "Hey, are you okay?"

       I bite my bottom lip nervously before nodding my head yea. He leans over and grabs something out of his bag. "You should drink some water if you're feeling sick" he says handing me the water bottle from his bag.

      I take and force a smile. "Thank you" I say before opening the bottle and taking a sip.

     "Anytime" he says with a small smile, before continuing "Should we talk to Macus about the project?"

      Talk.... I don't know why I didn't think that I wouldn't have to talk to him. That's just the effect he has on me. Just hearing his name gets me scared. But I have too, for the project. I can't make Lucas fail a project over something that happened years ago, I really hate to tell myself this... But it's in the past. Maybe Marcus won't even recognize me.

      "O-okay" I mumble standing up from my seat. Lucas also stands up, he starts to walk over to Marcus first and I follow behind him with my head down. 

      "Marcus!" Lucas shouts in a friendly manner, I'm not sure if they know each other or he's just being nice. After Marcus acknowledges him he sits down in a chair across from him and I hesitantly sit beside Lucas.

      "So, do y'all have any idea about what to do? or where to do the assignment?" I hear Marcus ask. I'm not to sure about this assignment, History was never my best subject if I'm being honest. But even if I was good at it, it's hard to focus with him in front of me.

      "Delaney?" I hear Lucas ask as he nudges my shoulder. when he sees that he has my attention he speaks. "Did you hear us? We plan to do it at my house okay? I'll text you both the adress"

       I nod my head, not lifting my head fully. That's when Marcus speaks up. "Now that I think about it... The name Delaney sounds so familiar".

      I feel my whole body freeze as I continue to stare at the ground, hoping that he doesn't realize it. "What was your last name again?" He asks. After I don't answer Lucas clears his throat.

     "Delaney Prescott, why? have you met each other?" Lucas asks, I clench my jaw and my fist tighten, I've never wanted to strangle someone so much in my life.

       I lift my head just enough to see his face, But instantly regretting it because I can tell by the look on his face that he knows. His lips tilt up into a smile I know all too well. "Yeah, now that I think about it. We were friends in Middle school".

       I'm fucked.
