I laugh embarrassed, "Well, now that you're asking, I might as well."
I lean into him and let my lips fleetingly brush over his.
I move away and he looks at me, smiling sexily, "Is that it?"
" Yes," I smile back at him shyly.
" But it tasted like more," he whispers softly.
I gasp, embarrassed.
After my dad picks me up, and we are driving home, I think to myself delighted that Johnathan must like me, there is no way he did not.
At school though, he carries on as always. He smiles at me adoringly, making my heart jump in my throat.
He makes eye contact and it is as if I can see right through to the very core of him, but then he also does the same to every other girl.
A few days later, I overhear Tanya speaking to Susan. She is talking about Johnathan, saying how much she adores him and how the night before he sent her a text message, which hinted at him still liking her even after everything that happened during Christmas break.
I am so disappointed in myself, for always falling for Johnathan's manoeuvres.
That afternoon, when I see him walking across the corridor with Tanya, I wish I have super blowing powers like Superman, because then with one 'whoosh', I can blow him off the face of the earth.
Watching him though, he has this habit of absent-mindedly running his fingers through his hair, which is endearing, and my foolish heart, tilts off its axis.
It is almost mid-term break and I concentrate on the scheduled tests which have been booked over the last two weeks.
I am trying desperately not to think of Johnathan, and I honestly want to dislike him, but I persuade myself that smile is just for me. Maybe if he gets to know me better, I could somehow convince him he only wants me.
The day we have to write our Math Paper, Johnathan walks to me, and teasingly he asks, "Are you ready for the test? You know I am looking forward to the competition."
I answer defiantly, "Johnathan, you ego is so huge, if I beat you, you would be devastated, but I have never backed away from a challenge."
" If you score more than me in this test, I will take you to the movies."
I laugh bitter and reply sarcastically, "Ooh, so I had better try hard then?"
" Come on Chrissie, I am trying here."
" Trying what Johnathan? Maybe you are trying to insult me because it sounds as if you want me to do better in the test than you, and then you will reward me with your attentions."
