Alicia's Pov.

I did not know that the play was going to be awesome.i just did what I had to do and it was fun.When the kiss part reached,I was hesitant because I had never kissed anyone and Leo was going to steal my first kiss but destiny had it's own plan.When I saw Max,I almost had a heart attack and I literally felt like dying.When the kiss scene came,we both approached each other and my heart was beating so fast,I closed my eyes first then after a few seconds,I felt his soft lips on mine.My palms were sweating but I ignored it because the heat was so intense.Some part of me enjoyed it but remembering what he did to me brought pain in my heart.I parted ways and then took two steps behind while trying to get back in my senses and when Skylar called him my boyfriend,I got really angry but I kept my cool.

Max Pov

When the teacher told me to replace Leo,I did not want to go because I knew she was angry at me then someone pushed me on stage and I could only let out an awkward smile.The kiss scene came and we both approached each other.I saw her close her eyes and I closed them to,I felt her lips on mine and the sensention was intense.I suddenly felt my mind go blank and I thought that she would bite me or something worse but nothing happened.When we parted ways,I felt a little sad but I had no choice,then she moved two steps behind me and I just let her be.I hope one day she will forgive me.

Alicia was replying the kiss in her mind when an unknown number sent her a video of the incident in the gym.She was shocked at first then played it,Layla and her friends were at the gym when everything happened."Max was telling me the truth."She gasped."I got so angry and blamed him for everything,how stupid?."She said then closed her phone.Gulit was killing her so much but she could not do anything right now.She laid her head on her fluffy pillow and stared at the ceiling as million and millions of questions crossed her mind.The only solution was to continue to avoid him but she did not know her long she would keep it up.The thought of it made her fall asleep.
