"Lisa!"Kenzie exclaimed as she approached me and grabbed toward the corner of the hall.

"Kenzie,you need to stop humiliating me like that"I said with a slight frown and she frowned back."What's up with you?"I asked.

"Apparently, it happens to be that you're the hot and new gossip if the school"

"What do you mean by that?"I asked in confusion.

"Everyone keeps talking about you...well, about the kiss... it's gone viral,Lisa...someone posted it on the general group chat and even made a video about it... here,see for yourself"She said handing over her phone to me."Apparently, that's a video of you kissing a Ryan.. and you told me you didn't kiss him"

"I didn't!"I exclaimed.

"Then who did this? You're obviously the one in the video"

"This is all fake"I exclaimed again and she sighed.

"Fine,I believe you...well because you're my best friend and I know you can't lie to me...but apparently-"

"Can you please stop saying the word"apparently"?"I said and she scoffed.

"Look... I've gat to see someone... I'll talk to you later...and try not to get into trouble...I care about you...oh,and ignore the gossips,okay?"She said and I nodded in response

"But apparently -"

"Kenzie!"I exclaimed and she left.

Oh geez.

Okay,this is easy.

Ignore.

Key word.Ignore.

Just ignore.

I stretched my hands forward and swung them backwards.

I'm ready.

Maybe not.

"Hey, Kyle... I'm... I'm so sorry about Ryan...and I'm also sorry that I wasn't able to help with the mathematical problem"I said and he smiled.

"That's okay...I just asked someone else to do that for me since you didn't show up"He said and I sighed."I'm so sorry"I apologised.

"No problem,Lisa... actually...I heard about the gossip...I also overheard some girls calling you a slut...but don't listen to them...I think you're cool and smart"He said and I didn't know when I became less afraid and nervous about the whole gossip thing.

"Those are just fake news"

"I knew it"He said and I smiled.

"Wanna hang out after school hours?"

"Sure"

"We'll meet at the school's backyard"

"Okay"I laughed and he left.

What now?

***
I was standing at my locker listening to the gossip about me when I felt someone tap my shoulder.I turned around and saw a girl with a long blonde hair,she was a bit taller than me and she was obviously hot and beautiful.I really admired her dressing and look.

"Hi"I greeted and she glared at me.

Did I say something wrong?

Of course , I didn't.

I only said hi...and that's all.

"Who exactly are you?"She asked.

"Um... I'm...Lisa"I said slowly.

"Right, you're obviously the slutty bitch that tried to hook up with my boyfriend"She said sarcastically.

What!

"What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend here, bitch... everyone knows you tried to kiss Ryan and also everyone knows he belongs to me"

"Point of correction, everyone except me knows Ryan belongs to you... infact,I don't care about that...Ryan and I are not even friends,so you need to stop barking like an homeless bitch cause you're obviously the only bitch here"I said, took my books out of my locker, closed it and walked away.

I was about to head for the library when I remembered that I had to meet Kyle at the school's backyard.

"I totally forgot"I murmured.

"Forgot what?"A voice said and I turned around to see who it was.

"What do you want?"I asked in annoyance.

"Hey,Lisa"He simply said and I rolled my eyes.

"Just leave me alone"I said and walked past him but he pulled me back in such a way that my my body was against his and my hand was on his muscular chest.It took me a few seconds to realise what I was doing and when I did,I immediately took my hands off his chest and looked at him.He had a smirk on his face.

"Uh...what are you doing?"I asked nervously as I tried to free myself from his strong grip but it was of no use.

"I'm sorry... accept my apology...I never should have tried to kiss you just because you refused to apologise to me...you forgive me, right?"He said and I felt so touched.

I never actually thought he could ever apologise.

"Yeah"I replied and he let go of me.I walked away sluggishly without saying a word after that. I just felt too awkward.

***
I took a deep breath before walking over to where Kyle was sitting

"Hey"I said as I sat beside him.He turned to me and smiled.

"I thought you were not gonna come"He said and I smiled.

"Well...here I am"I said and we both chuckled.

"So...I just wanted to ask...are you...free tomorrow?"

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow's Saturday.

I'm always free on Saturdays.

"Yeah...I am"

"Great...we could probably hangout again and get to know each other this time"He suggested and I nodded in agreement.

"Hang out?Like a date?"

"Yeah...how about we meet at the movie house... I'll pick you up at five"

"Sure"I smiled stupidly and he just smiled back.

This is so awkward.

Why am I like this?
