Part 2.
Lukas's PoV

I sat at my table, not really thinking about anything. I was a such a fool. How could I have just kissed Jesse Taber? I mean, people who love each other will suddenly just kiss, right? I sighed and looked down at my notebook. I must've been really upset, as I felt a tear rolled down my cheek.

"Hey Lukas," someone said, sitting in front of me and pulling out a chair. I didn't bother to look up, knowing that it was Aiden. "Dude, I know you're upset." he said, poking my arm. I shook my head and took off my thin wire rimmed glasses to wipe away my tears. "But there's plenty more girls out there, man." Aiden said, gesturing to the classroom.

I looked up to see Petra looking at me, with pity in her eyes. I had a crush on Petra once, but now we're good friends and I assumed Aiden told her what happened. "But how could I have been so stupid?" I muttered, angrily putting on my glasses. Aiden's mouth twitched, making me glare at him.

Aiden sighed. "Look, why don't you talk to her?" he suggested, suddenly standing up. "Wait- Aiden what are you doing?" I asked, fearfully. Aiden shrugged and stepped back to let a girl slide into the seat in front of me. "Hey Lukas," Jess said, nervously pushing the ends of her fringe behind her ears, a gesture I really found cute on her.

I folded my arms, glaring at the table in front of me. "Hey, I'm talking to you." she said quietly. I looked up at her, unable to ignore her any longer. Her emerald green eyes looked back at me and I swallowed, feeling nervous but excited that she was talking to me.

"I know I was difficult... when we met up the last time," Jess explained. "You didn't stop me when I ran away." I muttered, getting angry again. Aiden frowned at Jess as she looked up at him. That made me angrier.

I stood up, tears clouding my vision, "You know what? I'm done playing games with you Jesse. I don't ever want to be your friend." I said, my voice trembling as I ignored my teacher for me to calm down. I snatched up my bag and ran out of the classroom. The tears threatening to fall brimming in my eyes.

All I did was to kiss her. Why was I making such a big deal over it? I sat at the swing, kicking listlessly at the dirt, drawing circles with my foot. Stupid Lukas. Stupid, brainless Lukas. I scolded myself.

I vowed to never talk to her ever again.. I got up from the swing set and walked home, lonely again.
