What did I just do?

Joseph's POV

I feel my phone vibrate into pocket, I take it out and unlock it to see a text from Sandra.

Sandra:Hey where are you?

Me: I'm in school

Sandra: Why didn't you come over?

Me: For what. To pick you up?

Sandra: And what's wrong with that. I should have known texting you would be a waste of time.

I don't even bother to reply as the classroom door swings open and my eyes widen at the sight of the hottest girls in the school. But my attention is mostly caught by one of them.

Jules is standing there in all her glory, she's wearing a light blue ripped shirt with a ripped jean and a blue hair, her dark makeup giving her a sultry look. I feel discomfort in my jeans, just looking at her does this all the time.

They walk over to have some drinks and Lexi is drinking more than the rest, all the while, my eyes are on her. At this stage, I don't care about anyone or anything or what people might say. Connor raises hie eyebrow at me and I smirk.

She and Lexi stands up and begin to dance to the music playing from her phone and Shay comes to seat on Connor's lap.

"Hey sexy" Shay greets me and Connor scoffs at the nickname.

"I'm okay, you?" Connor replies.

"Sorry I was talking to Joseph." Shay says earning a wink from me and a grunt from Connor.

I feel a pair of eyes on me and I look in her direction and see her checking me out. She quickly avert her gaze and Shay and Connor stand to leave the class, I give him a knowing look and they leave.

Lexi goes for another drink, clearly she's not over Connor and I stand up and walk over to Jules. If I want to talk to her, I might as well start here.

I move behind her and place my hands on her hips and she presses further into me. I don't think she knows who is behind her because if she does, she wouldn't be grinding against me. I like the feeling of her body against mine but I feel a pang in my chest because she'd have done the same if it was another person.

The door swings open and Shay announces that the prefect are about to be called so they all go downstairs. Connor comes in and just looking at his flushed face, I know what went with Shay but I don't point it out.

"Man, why are you all smiles?" Connor asks, running his palms on his face.

"I danced with her" I beam like a girl.

"Aww. That's so cute. By the way, Sandra is around and she looks so ho—" The door is kicked open and Sandra walks in.

If this was last year or some months back, I'd have said she's hot. But right now, the only hot person to me is Jules.

She's putting on a dark green crop top with strings of bead at the hem with lilac short skirt and shiny black biker boots.

She comes in and gives me one of her fake smiles. "Darling, you know you offended me right?"

I roll my eyes and don't utter and word, I look at Connor who is busy trying not to laugh.

"So you are giving me the silent treatment now?" she snarls. Sometimes I don't even know why I liked her.

I stand up to leave and Connor follows me but I as we get to the door, we hear her scream 'fuck you', Connor burst into laughter and I clench my jaw. I fucking hate her.

The best part of the party begins and everyone starts to dance and scream. I hate dancing and the students of my school make me hate it more. Looking at the dance floor, everybody are packed together with no space and shaking their bodies and throwing hands in the hair and screaming like fools.

I chuckle as I see a girl's hand hit another girl in the face. The girl that was hit just exclaims an 'ow!' and goes back to dancing. If it were on a normal day, we would be trying to stop them from tearing at each other's face.

I see Jules dancing with a girl from the junior class, if I want to talk to her, I better do it now. I have a lot to talk to her about, to ask her, to apologize for but at the same time, I have no idea what to say to her.

The song changes to a faster one and she moves to the beat, I walk over to her and pull her hand. She is very drunk now and she nods her head to the beat as I pull her away.

I take her behind the school and it's darker there. She sends a foamy punch to my chest as soon as I let go of her hand.

"Hey, I wass enjoyin' the parteeeyy" she slurs and sends me another feather-like punch. I grip her wrists and call her name.

"Juliet" she suddenly stops struggling and seems to instantly sober up.

"Joseph?"

"Yes Juliet. It's me. How are you?" I ask.

She furrows her brows as if she didn't get the meaning of the question.

"Fine" she says.

"I mean how have you been Jules. Sincerely."

She takes a deep breath. And I hold my breath, unsure of what she'll say.

"Truthfully Joseph, I haven't been good. You might not understand but it's been hard and do you know what's harder? You asking me this and pretending like you care."

I grit my teeth, she fucking have no idea how much I I care. "You have no idea how I feel Jules. You have no idea." I say.

"I think I do. You hate me, it's obvious enough and now you want to shove it to my face asking how I am to know what. If I'm over you or—" She is talking trash, her opinion of me is very far from reality. I need to get her to shut up so I kiss her.

Damn!

Her lips are soft and I love the feel of it against mine. I've never had a kiss as good as this. I've always imagined our kiss to be different and it is.

She doesn't try to stop me and I feel myself go hard as I softly bite her lower lip and a moan escapes her lips. She slowly push herself away from me, ending the kiss. I am disappointed but I don't show it. I look at her, she seems to be shaking.

But then I didn't see it coming as what I do not expect happens.

What the hell!

Her hand connects hard against my cheek and I feel the pain course through me. I had expected something nasty tho, like her pushing me away when I kissed her but I didn't expect this at all.

I don't blame her, no one would be happy being kissed senseless by someone who supposedly hates them. But I don't regret it at all.

Her eyes open wide and her hands fly to her mouth as as if realizing what what she did. I keep my expression blank to show that I'm not fazed by what she did and to start to apologize too but then she turns away and run.

I shut my eyes. Fuck!

I just ruined my chance of being her friend.

Fuck.

Fuck my life. Fuck my fucking stupid fucking life.

Fuckity fuck my life.
