When I got back home that night I sat down on my bed with a sigh.

I had no idea where Hayden and I stood now. I didn't want it to be awkward between us. I still wanted to be friends with him and I had a feeling this was going to ruin that.

I just couldn't understand why he would kiss me to begin with. I didn't think I had been leading him on in any way so I just felt confused.

Besides, I liked Namjoon. As much as I shouldn't, I did and of course now he knows about the kiss. He knows Hayden kissed me and that it was my first. Can you say embarrassing?

For all I know Namjoon was insanely experienced and here I was having just had my first kiss. The thought starting to bother me, I let it go.

There wasn't anything I could do now so I might as well just drop it.

My main worry now was figuring out where Hayden and I would go from here.

I didn't want it to be weird between the two of us. We had just become friends and I didn't want that to come to an end over a small little kiss.

I was just hoping that wasn't the case...

The next day at school I had yet to run into Hayden. I knew I'd see him once I got to the class I had with him but I wasn't sure how it would go.

I was hoping he would act as if it never happened but I doubt I could get that lucky.

As I walked into class I saw Hayden seated in the back of the classroom, his head buried into a book. The book we had read together that day to be exact.

Without saying a word, I made my way over to my seat and sat down. Right away I pulled out my notebook and waited for the teacher to give us further instructions.

"Hello class. I just finished going over all to the projects and I'd like to say you all did an amazing job. None of you failed so congratulations."

I couldn't help but to laugh a little at that. Most of this class was full of delinquents who didn't even know what five times five was so I was shocked.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of them had cheated but that wasn't my business. I knew Hayden and I did a good job so that was all that mattered.

As the teacher went around the room passing out our graded projects I watched as she set our paper down on Hayden's desk who never even raised his head to look at her.

Watching to see what Hayden did next, I wondered what exactly our grade was. I wasn't sure if he would even come talk to me about it.

Finally, he lifted his head and picked up the paper. As he skimmed it I noticed him smile. Definitely a good sign.

Then suddenly he looked over at my desk, our eyes locking. I pulled my lips in and gathered every drop of courage I could manage before I made my way over to him.

"How bad is it?" I ask straight away. "Not bad at all. Here." He says as he passes me the paper. It read in bright red marker, 100% A+

"Oh wow." I say, happy that we had done that good. I knew it was good but I wasn't expecting one hundred percent.

"We did good." He says but he doesn't meet my eyes. I could feel the awkwardness starting to rise so I quickly spoke up.

"We sure did. Do you want to hang out after school to celebrate?" I ask, hoping he didn't want to stop being my friend after what happened.

To my surprise he looked up and smiled. "I would love that. It'll be fun."

I let out a sigh of relief as I nodded my head and told him we'd meet up after class. I then made my way back over to my seat and sat down.

I tucked the paper away in my folder and started to doodle in my notebook as the teacher spoke about something random.

Hopefully us hanging out after school would help things go bad to normal. I was hoping we'd just act like the kiss never happened and that everything would be okay again.

A girl could dream.

After class ended Hayden and I met back up at my locker, getting ready to make our way to the bus.

Just as I was about to shut my locker door, I heard a voice from behind me that didn't belong to Hayden. I turned around only to come face to face with Namjoon.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, confused as to why he hadn't driven home yet.

"I saw you two still here and figured I'd ask if you wanted a ride." Namjoon says, his eyes darting from me to Hayden then back.

"We'll be fine on the bus." I say as I close my locker. I wasn't sure why Namjoon suddenly had any interest in talking to me when he never really had before.

"Are you sure? I can drop you guys off wherever." Namjoon says, this time looking at Hayden only. Before I could decline, Hayden gave in.

"Sure why not. You're Leah's brother right? It should be okay." Hayden says as he glances over at me. I internally sighed.

"Yeah sure, why not." I repeat even though I definitely would have rather taken then bus then get driven home by Namjoon.

"Great, to your place then?" Namjoon asks, flashing me a quick smile. I nod, knowing there wasn't any way of getting out of this now.

"Alright. Let's go!"

——

The whole car ride to my place no one really said anything. There wasn't much to be said. Hayden and I were still awkward after what happened and Namjoon was well, Namjoon.

It was even more awkward knowing that Namjoon knew what had happened between the two of us.

As we arrived at my house, Hayden and I went to get out of the car and as I did, the last thing I heard before I shut the door was,

"Don't let him kiss you again."
