Sure, it was fun to talk to Imma about, feeling like a normal teenager who had just gone on a first date, but I couldn’t help but feel somewhat deceitful having kissed Vincent twice only days ago before now kissing his best friend Daryl.
It was a growing problem, but I reminded myself that Vincent referred to me as his toy there was no real feelings on his end, whereas Daryl was now a major question mark to me..

“So I asked how much I owed him for the ice cream since he pail, and when I tried to get my money out he stopped me! Then he pretended that I had something on my face and then before I could even think, he kissed met” I explain in a hushed tone, my lace heating at the memory.
Emma mods along eagerly to know the rest which makes me smile before continuing
“I didn’t know what to say after that, but he laughed it off and claimed that he’s been waiting to kiss me… thankfully it wasn t fon awkward though, we just talked as normal before going home.” I conclude the night, as Emma groans playfully.
Ugh I thought there was mate! After the kiss I mean! Inima laugh, as I shake my head at her imagination having clearly ran wild
after that.

Going to our separate classes, now being alone to think, I couldn’t ignore the panicked thoughts playing in the back of my mind about what had happened with my neighbours last night…
What were they trying to do if they got in? Anything could have happened if my locks weren’t done….
Imagine I forgot to lock the door? Not that I think I would in that neighbourhood but my mind raced with a variety of “what ifs
Would they try to enter again? I didn’t even want to stay there tonight now…

All I knew was that the thought of what they done last night terrified me and I felt like I couldn’t even tell Emma or Daryl about it because I would give myself up.
As far as they knew, I lived in a decent place with my brother… all lie of course… and if they ever find that out, they will ask questions that I don’t need or want to be asked.
They don’t have to know about my past… nobody here does….
I can’t risk it.
“Enjoy your kiss?” I turn on my heels to find Vincent, looking as serious as usual,
How does he know?!
“Uh, hey?” I respond, with it sounding more like a question as he visibly rolls her eyes in boredom.
“You like being a little player don’t you?” Vincent continues, as I glance around nervously at the wandering eyes surrounding us.
is it all just a play to one up his friend? But Daryl isn’t like that….
Why would Daryl tell him we kissed? Was
But then he did kiss that girl to one up me at the party…
Feeling hurt, I choose to remain silent, not liking that Vincent had now named me a player of all things. Why does he even care that we kissed? Unless it was just another fun thing for him to mock me over…..
“Better get to class darling or you’ll be late.” Vincent smirks, walking off without another word as I finally feel that I can catch my breath.
Great… now I’m late for class!
