Chapter One ⢠Kissed Before Hello
The first noise I hear upon waking up is a very bad one. One that I have heard many times before and wish to never hear again.
Wes's singing.
It's distant, like he's in a different room in the house, but still loud enough to make my ears hurt.
Groaning I pull my blanket over my head. Why!?
Knowing he won't shut up until I tell him to, I grab my phone and crawl out of bed.
Just as I start following the sound into the hallway, a delicious, indescribable, smell hits my nose.
Bacon.
My footsteps now speed up as I walk downstairs to the kitchen, where my brother, Wes, is unfortunately singing "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton, while making eggs and bacon.
Although, the bacon looks like it's about ready, the sight of Wes is too funny to resist.
I start recording.
"Dun na na na na na na and I need you, dun na na na na na na and I miss you, dun na na na na na na and now I wooonder."
I almost lose it; every word he sings is punctuated by either a hip shake or a flip of his hair. He lifts the spatula to his lips like a microphone and specks of hot butter come up with it, burning his face. He curses and steps backwards, letting out a girly scream as he trips over the kitchen mat and falls on the floor.
That's when I lose it. Startled at the sound of my laughter, Wes looks up at me from the floor and scowls. As he notices my phone pointing directly at him his eyes widen. "Emma. . . how long have you been recording me?"
"Not that long," I give him my best innocent smile, "just long enough to blackmail you into doing whatever I want."
He groans. "Stupid song's been stuck in my head for days," he gets up and narrows his eyes at me. "I thought you were sleeping."
"So glad I wasn't," I snort.
"Well, you should be. It's 7:30, you have like 15 minutes to get ready for school if we don't want to be late."
I look at his clothes and notice he's already dressed. "What?! Why didn't you try waking me up before!"
"I did. Twice. You just opened your eyes, slapped me and went back to sleep," he rolls his eyes, "and there was no way I was sacrificing my sexy face for you a third time, you hit like a man." I laugh, and he turns to his now over-cooked eggs. "Stop wasting time, you're going to make us late."
I nod, pretend I'm going upstairs, and then steal two pieces of his bacon when he's not paying attention. Idiot should have known better.
Deciding to skip showering this morning âbecause I'm running late and I took one last nightâ I start to pluck clothes haphazardly from my already messy closet. Finally finding something that's not wrinkled, I throw it on and look at the condition of my hair. Besides being a little bit on the frizzy side it was actually presentable because I shampooed it last night, so I just leave it down, comb through it, and put on some hair product. Next, I brush my teeth, then put my BB cream, mascara and tinted lip balm on.
Sliding down the banister of my stairs I slip on my shoes and grab a banana nut muffin from the counter. "Wes, come on. I'm ready." Driving to our school takes fifteen minutes and I took about fifteen minutes to get ready. School starts at 8:00 so we should be a couple minutes late.
"Crap, it's the first day after winter break. Do you think we'll get in trouble?" I say as I jump in the car.
"Doubt it. We're only gonna be a couple minutes late." Well, he has a point, but last time I got a detention mom was furious.
The car was silent for a bit before Wes spoke, "So. . .just to be clear. You were sleeping when you slapped me in the face?"
I smirk, "Sure." I really had been, but I decided to mess with him a little bit.
"Sure? What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
I shrug. "Maybe."
"Emma, I swear to God."
"Yes, Wes, I was sleeping. Are you happy now?"
He huffs and mumbles something under his breath that sounds like, "How the hell do you hit so hard when you're sleeping?"
Ignoring him, I turn on the radio and belt out the lyrics to one of my favorite songs as it came on. Wes joins in halfway through the chorus and ruins it with his horrible singing, but hey, I still had fun.
Three and a half songs later we finally pulled up to the school at 8:03. Wes parted ways with me a little while after us walking together. He took a right to Spanish, and I kept going straight down the hallways to English.
Seeing as I was walking fastâand clearly not paying attentionâ when some guy randomly decided to step right in front of me, I almost ran right into him.
Looking up from the space where we almost collided, I was met with a pair of gorgeous blue-green eyes.
And his eyes weren't the only gorgeous thing about him. He was tall, with me having to crane my head slightly to make eye contact with him, and his hair was messy in that insanely hot way that made me just wanna run my hands through it. His full lips were parted slightly as he gazed down at me in what looked like awe. He was wearing a white V-neck that worked perfectly against his sun-kissed skin, and a pair of dark jeans that fit snugly against his body. He was fit. And hot.
"You do realize that the hallway is completely empty, right?"
His eyes darken as they slowly trail up and down my body, and the only acknowledgment I got that he heard me was his sharp intake of breath when I spoke. Fighting the urge between shivering and slapping him, I huff and turn to walk away, realizing he obviously wasn't going to explain himself for walking straight in front of me.
He mumbles something just as I turn and in a split second, before I have any time to react, he pulls me to him and plants his lips directly on mine.
Standing in shock for a couple seconds âwondering what the hell is going onâ I distantly hear his breathy moan. It immediately snaps me out of my shock, allowing me to pull away and do the first thing that came to my mind.
Which was punching him in the face. And then running.
Whoops.
