Everyone stared at us. I didnt want to do this infront of everyone. "Is the famous and daring Rachel Martin thinking about turning down a dare?"teased Dimitri. I stuck my tongue out at him. Everyone laughed at us and i had to admit it really was kind of funny. I unbuckled the seatbelt and climbed over into his lap.
I was hovering over him now. My heart was racing in my chest. It felt like a stampede. My feelings were mixed: nervous, happy, stressed. They all flooded me and my hands began to sweat. I decided to get it over with. I placed my palm behind his neck and leaned in.
Everyone on the bus began to cheer. They were more excited about this than we were. His hands rested on my hips. He was kissing me back and his lips were so soft and sweet and warm. He tasted yummy. We parted for air and everyone stared at us in disbelief.
"There you have it. Fun Fact that was the best kiss i have ever had," I said while looking at Dimitri. Everyone laughed at that but it was a nervous laugh and Julietta looked pissed off but I was staring at Dimitri.He was looking at me too and honestly i know we were both feeling the same way. Content, happy and so much more. I climbed back into my seat and Dimitri left to fill the bus with gas. Everyone stared at me and i couldnt shake the stares.
"What are you guys staring at?" I demanded. "You guys wanted me to fulfil the dare and i did," I said. They burst out in cheers once again. "So you really are a whore," muttered Julietta. It took a lot of self control to not slap her right there and then. She was the one who gave the dare. Not me or anyone else. She did.
I just stared at her. She obviously wanted to kill me and she will probably give Dimitri shit for that kiss. When he came back in the bus and started it i made my announcement and it was made clear that no one would be talking about this. "Listen up people, NO ONE WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY JUST WITNESSED! And Julietta you have no right to be mad at me because everyone here witnessed that YOU dared ME to kiss HIM," I said.
She glared at me and decided it was time for a new game. I agreed. But this time I wont be playing along. "Lets all sing a song, Rachel, you have a beautiful voice, sing us a song,"offered Mrs. Burke. I didnt feel like singing. "You sing?"asked Dimitri. I nodded not looking at him.
I didn't want to sing at all. It didnt seem right. Not right now. "My life is brilliant,"sang Alicia. God she knew this was my favourite song. She also knew i couldnt hear this song and not sing along. "My life is brilliant, my love is pure. I saw an angel," I sang. "Of that Im sure, She smiled at me on the subway. she was with another man,"we sang together.
"You're beautiful. Youre beautiful its true. I saw your face, in a crowded place. And i dont know what to do, cuz Ill never be with you," We sang. I loved that song. "You're Beautiful by James Blunt" is my favourite song. I started feeling drowsy.
I leaned my head on the window and fell asleep. The subtle rocking of the bus put me to sleep and it was peaceful the way back. When I woke up, we were back to school. Sigh. I didnt want to be here again. I wanted to stay at the campsite where we could sleep whatever time and not have to worry about class the next morning.
I took my stuff and headed up to our dorm room. Alicia and Phil were there. I just glanced at them and walked into the bathroom. I washed my face and dried it. Then I went outside and began to rummage through my clothes for a pair of cotton shorts and t shirt.
After changing into that suit of clothes, I went into the common room and picked up two doughnuts. I was about to bite into one when someone bit into it before me. Jesse took my doughnut and began to sprint. "JESSE REYNOLDS BRING ME MY DOUGHNUT BACK!" I shouted and started running after him.
I dashed into someone and nearly caused their coffee to be spill on me. I looked up and saw Dimitri looking down at me. Everything he had felt earlier and this past week was gone. He was all teacher mode now. Tough love. I shied back and saw Jesse staring at us.
I turned and walked off to meet Jesse. "Whats up with the Russian?"he asked me. "Back to the old ways i guess," i said. I didnt say anymore. As far as i knew, he was back to teacher mode which meant we were back to normal. No more kissing and hugging. No more touching or holding hands.
*Class*
I walked into Dimitri's class the next morning a little earlier than usual and found him alone. It was empty except for him. I just walked in and took my seat. I took out my book and began reading. i didnt have much to say or do so i just sat there and began to wait for class to start.
Class didnt start until the next hour and so i had a lot of time to kill. I realized i didnt do his homework. I took out my textbook and began to complete the assignment. I didnt like Algebra and this was his homework. I got so frustrated that i wanted to pelt the book.
"Argh!" I grunted. I didnt like this topic or subject. I had to admit he was good at teaching this subject but this subject is just so fucking frustrating. I slammed the book shut and picked it up and pelt it to the front of the class. I got up and was about to storm out when someone pulled me back and pinned me to the wall.
I grunted. I looked up to see none other than the Russian. He looked like he was about to kick my ass. I returned his glare. "Why did you pelt the book?"he asked, his voice husky. I just stared at him and didnt respond. He didnt care. It wasnt like anything meant something to him. He was in love with Julietta, Im just probably a fling.
