“Okay, so maybe the movies wasn’t the
best place to have our first date…” I said as we
made our way outside the theatre.
She laughed, “no, it was fine.”
“No, it wasn’t. I have to make it up to you. Where do
you want to go?”
She scrunched up her mouth, thinking.
“Hmmm, somewhere we can talk. You want to just grab
something quick to eat at Wendy’s? Not the best date spot
but at least its something.”
I nodded my head and we walked towards the Wendy’s that was
placed on the street corner.
I reached slowly for her hand, a warm, unfamiliar butterfly
feeling approaching in my stomach.
Besides the fact that we had kissed, I had never gotten that
close with Lucy, and I wasn’t exactly sure if she even
liked me.
But, I reached slowly for her hand, interlocking my fingers with
hers. And surprisingly, I liked the way they looked together.
Lucy’s POV
I couldn’t believe I was actually doing this, going on a
date with Liam Cranston.
I wasn’t sure if he liked me for me, or just to get with me
and then leave.
But I had to agree with him that the movies wasn’t the best
place for a date because we couldn’t talk, so I’m
glad I suggested Wendy’s.
We walked slowly down the sidewalk making it to the corner where
Wendy’s was, when I felt his hand link into mine.
My heart almost stopped beating as I held back, happy that he had
made that move.
When we went inside we both got in line.
“What would you like?” he asked me, holding me
close.
“Chicken nuggets, please.” I said with a smile.
He ordered for me and then paid, taking our food to a small
table.
We shared chicken nuggets and French fries, laughing practically
the whole time.
“Lucy, can I ask you a question?”
“Sure, what?” I asked, cocking my head to the
side.
He rubbed the back of his neck self-consciously. “Do you,
uh, like me?”
My eyes widened, startled by the abrupt question.
Did I?
I wasn’t sure a little while ago.
“Because I really like you, and I don’t want you to
think I’m just a player who’s going to leave you.
I’ve never felt like this before.” He continued.
My mouth popped open, unsure of how to respond.
I thought back to the evens of the night.
The movie, the hand holding, the cheeky smiles he always gave me,
the way my stomach fluttered every time he looked into my
eyes.
A smile crept over my mouth, and after a moments hesitation, I
was able to respond confidently.
“Yes, I do like you, Liam.”
Okay, so kind of
unrealistic, but honestly I'm trying to wrap up the story so
it doesn't get too boring :)
Sorry I skipped the date, I didn't want you guys to get bored
with the same old mushy gushy stuff. I hope you liked how it came
out!
Readers, tell me what you guys would like to see! Because
I’m not positive about how to continue!
I have a little plan, but I feel like you guys are going to get
bored with just the dating and everything. Help!

17
We stood alone in the hallway, my lips pressed against
hers, and I felt…happy.
I felt happy kissing Lucy, not that I was just kissing another
girl on the list.
I continued to kiss her deeper, but she didn’t allow me to
open her lips all the way.
Her hands stroked the back of my neck, sending chills up my
spine.
For a girl who’s never kissed anyone, she sure knew what to
do.
I placed a small kiss at the base of her ear, pulling away and
leaving us both breathing heavily.
“Do you need a ride home?” I asked her quietly,
taking her hand in mine and drawing shapes with my thumb.
She just nodded her head, seeming like she had lost the will to
speak.
I took her hand and guided her outside to where my Jeep was
parked.
She told me her address and it was a short drive from here, so it
didn’t take long.
“Thanks” she said, showing me a genuine smile.
I watched her as she walked up to her front door, unsure of what
to do now.
We had kissed, but I wasn’t sure if that meant she wanted
to go out with me, or just kiss.
She didn’t seem like the hooking up type of girl, but I
would never underestimate her.
~*~
I woke up the next day with a massive headache.
Surprisingly, I knew it wasn’t a hangover.
But no one was in my house so I decided to go downstairs and have
some cereal.
I had a dream about Lucy last night, we were kissing
intensely.
Even a dream could show how innocent and sweet she was.
When I went back upstairs, I grabbed my phone, laid across my
bed, and opened a new text to Lucy.
“Hey, do you wanna go to the movies
tonight?”
I texted her, hoping for a yes.
I waited a few minutes, beginning to worry that that meant
rejection.
Wait. I was worrying about rejection? I never got rejected.
A few moments later, my phone buzzed with a new text.
“Sure J”
I texted back immediately:
“Cool. I’ll pick you up at seven.”
I looked at the clock, 11:42, I had the whole day to do nothing,
and that’s exactly how I intended to spend it.
Still hoping for some more
readers and more *FAVES*
Readers, tell me what you guys would like to see! Because
I’m not positive about how to continue!

16
I stood there, dumbfounded as I
watched her walk away around the corner of the hallway.
Lucy had kissed me the other night, hadn’t she?
So that meant she liked me, right?
The girl mind was crazy and confusing.
I chased after the guy who had tripped Lucy, Jason.
“Man, what was that for?” I said, motioning to where
Lucy had fell.
“Dude, she’s a prude.” He said as if it was so
obvious.
“And that gives you the right to trip her to the
ground?”
“Looks like you’re getting soft, man. Feelings are a
killer.” Jason said, patting my shoulder and sauntering
away after his friends.
But Lucy shouldn’t mean anything to me, right? She was just
a girl.
~*~
A few weeks had gone by, and Lucy was driving me crazy.
She looked sad all of the time, she was avoiding my looks towards
her, and the killer was that everyday I spent apart from her, the
more beautiful she looked.
I didn’t want to admit it to myself, but I might have a
teeny tiny crush on her.
Alright, a big crush, but I was so not used to this kind of
stuff!
I never showed feelings towards girls; they always just came to
me.
But I felt like Lucy was different, and that if I let her go she
would never come back.
So Friday after school I searched for her at her locker, knowing
she would be here because every week before this she stayed after
to sort out her locker.
She was standing up and was brushing off her jeans form the dust
she had cleaned out.
Her hair was in loose curls around her face, and her clothes
hugged her body perfectly.
“Hey” I said softly as I came up next to her.
She closed her locker and gazed over to me. “Hi” she
said meekly, looking down at the ground.
“Look Lucy-“
“No, Liam. I-I don’t want to talk about it. You know
I like you, but I don’t know if you like me. And I’m
not going to risk it.” There was a stern look in her eyes,
showing me she had found some kind of strength.
“How can you say I don’t like you? You’re all
I’ve thought about since that night!” The anger began
to grow inside of me, partially with her for not being able to
realize if, and partially towards me for feeling that way.
She looked up at me, the innocence showing in her eyes.
Being the person that I was, I acted on instinct.
I closed the space between Lucy and I and leaned her carefully
against the locker.
I looked deeply into her eyes, and watched them droop closed.
I bent down and softly kissed her lips ever so gently.
She didn’t immediately reciprocate, but after a moment she
did.
I placed one hand on her hip and the other on the locker behind
her while her hand cupped my bicep, showing me that she
didn’t mind the affection.
Alright, so a very abrupt
ending, but I wanted this to continue into the next chapter, so I
ended it here!
How about THAT for a welcome back!!! I’ll most
likely update again later tonight.
Please fave or comment, whatever you like! And show me
that people are reading, please!
And tell me what you guys would like to see! Because
I’m not positive about how to continue!

Soo...it has been MONTHS since
I've updated!
And I feel so guilty.
Honestly I've been on Witty, but I'm writing stories on
Wattpad and pretty much just reading stories on Witty
BUT, I'm going to try and pick back up again! Yay!
Since its summer, I'll have more time to write, but less time

time?
If anyone wants me to continue with this,

The rest of the weekend was blurred by my
happiness.
I was still mush over the kiss with Lucy.
I hadn’t texted her, afraid of being too pushy.
But when I walked into school on Monday, I felt extra confident
with myself.
I strolled down the hallway towards the area where her locker
was.
She was wearing light pink jeans with a black top and her long
wavy hair was spilling over her shoulders.
She put her books into her locker and was talking to her
friend.
I walked towards her and leaned up against the locker next to
her, an unfamiliar knot forming in my gut, but I tried to ignore
it.
“Hey” I said softly.
Lucy looked up at me, her bright green eyes became wide.
She looked down at her feet, her face becoming red.
“Hi” she said as she closed her locker.
“Look, about the other night…” we both began
at the same time, laughing at each other.
“You first she said, seeming to become more
comfortable.
“I really had fun Friday night, especially towards the end
of the night.” Obviously referring to the kiss.
She bit her lip and looked away, embarrassed or nervous, I
couldn’t tell.
“I wanted to talk about that too. Um, I don’t know if
“us” is a good idea. I mean your Liam Cranston and
I’m just Lucy. We don’t fit well together.” She
said simply, beginning to walk past me.
“Wait, so that’s it?” I asked, utterly
confused.
“I’m sorry. I just, can’t take getting hurt.
You’re so much more popular than me. So many girls get with
you. I’d feel like just another piece. And people barely
know my name. You’d be making a mistake if you ever chose
me.” He voice cracked at the end and I could tell she was
hurt.
I didn’t quite understand what she meant, but my
“friends” quickly explained it to me.
Lucy walked away, and as she went to turn the corner, a guy names
Jason tripped her, sending her falling to the ground, her books
going everywhere.
They took off laughing at her as they stumbled down the hall.
I ran to her, trying to help her get up.
“Liam, stop. I told you I was a waste of your time. Please
just go away.” Lucy said as she picker up her books, not
allowing me to help.
Then she stood up and quickly walked down the hall, leaving me
clueless and alone.
Sorry its a little short! It
was getting late and it was a good time to stop.
I'm trying to update this and write as much as I can
:)
I love feedback, just to know if people like it :)

Back to Liam’s
POV:
Lucy and I found Jared and Karmen behind the Ferris wheel, doing
whatever they do.
We decided it would be a good idea to head back to Jared’s
house, being that it was getting late and his parents
weren’t home.
When we got there, we went back down to his basement where we
were before.
I sat down next to Lucy on the sectional.
“I had so much fun tonight.” I whispered in her
ear.
“Yeah, me too.” She looked at me, seeming to drift
off into space a little.
I leaned down closer to her, smelling her sweet perfume.
“No.” she said, placing a defensive hand on my
chest.
“Why? I really like you.” I said.
“I-I like you too. I just can’t get hurt. I
don’t want to get hurt.” She said, her voice rising
with panic.
She slid away from me.
“Lucy, I’m not going to hurt you. I would never want
that. Do you think I would do that?”
“No. But that’s what they all say. And then they all
leave.”
I looked at her, unable to speak.
“I-I’m not going to leave. I promise.” My voice
stuttered at the words.
She looked deep into my eyes.
She leaned closer to me, and then put her head on my chest.
I leaned back against the arm of the chair so she was cuddled up
against me.
“I know you won’t. I trust you.” She whispered,
almost too low for me to hear.
We watched the TV and it was kind of a slow moving night, but I
was very aware of Lucy sitting with me.
It felt so nice to have someone real with me.
I wanted so badly to kiss her.
Just feel her soft lips on mine.
The desire was taking over me.
Lucy suddenly jolted up.
“It’s 1 am. I have to go home!” she stood up
and gathered her stuff.
“I’ll walk you to the door.” I hoped up and
followed her p the stairs.
She hesitated at the front door, looking back at me.
“I really did have fun tonight.” She said.
“Yeah, me too.”
She leaned in to give me a hug and I wrapped my arms around
her.
I smelled her shampoo, mixed with her sweet perfume.
Lucy pulled away and turned for the door.
I held it open for her as she waved good-bye and started down the
steps.
She hesitated at the bottom, seemingly undecided.
She turned her head back around to face mine and then she came
back up the steps.
She placed her hand on my cheek and placed her lips against
mine.
It was short, but the best kiss I have ever gotten.
Her lips opened once, and then held mine for a few seconds.
Then She removed her hand and whispered “goodnight”
before walking away under the moonlight.
I stared a story on Wattpad. I
would love it if you guys checked it out!!!!

Lucy’s POV:
What Liam had said startled me, but I tried to keep calm.
“What do you want to know.?” I asked, looking up at
him.
“Everything.” He said, leaning towards me.
I would feel his cool breath on my face.
I could feel myself getting nervous.
I knew exactly what he wanted, to get close to me and then break
my heart.
Just like all the others…
But I wasn’t going to judge Liam right away.
He seemed like a decent guy.
“You can’t get to know everything about me in one
night!”
“Challenge accepted.”
One hour later…
“Seriously?!” I gasped between laughs.
“Yes! The teacher never looked at him the same way all
year!” Liam said, finishing his story about Jared.
“I may just have to hold that over his head for a
while.”
“Devious and cute? Hmmm…” Liam said, smirking
at me.
I blushed.
“I want to know something about you.” I said pointing
to him. “When was your first girlfriend?”
“We’re getting into those silly questions now?
Alright, but expect one just as evil back. Seventh grade. Up
until then, I was practically prude.” He said, laughing to
himself.
“Your turn, “he said, nudging my knee.
“obviously you’ve had a boyfriend. How far have you
gone?”
The question took me up short.
Obviously?
What was that supposed to mean?
“Uhh,” I looked down, embarrassed, and mumbled out.
“I’ve never had a boyfriend.”
“Really? I’m surprised.”
“Why?” I asked him.
“Well, because your…” he gestured to me.
“your uh…” he looked up, as if something had
finally popped into his head. “You’re
beautiful.”
My face turned red, and I mumbled out an embarrassed thank
you.
“Maybe we should find Jared and Karmen. It’s
practically midnight.” I got up and turned to go.
Liam grabbed my arm and stood up.
“Look Lucy, I know what you think of me. I’m really
trying to be the most honest, truthful and best guy I can.
I’m trying so hard not to let you see me as all the
others.” He looked genuinely into my eyes.
He was right, of course, about me thinking of him as a bad guy
when we first met.
Liam Cranston was probably one of the biggest players of our
school.
I was just a nobody, what could I expect?
But now, surprisingly, we were friends, I had no doubt in
that.
“Trust me,” I said, stepping closer to him.
“You would know by now if I thought of you like all the
others.”
Then I leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.
I know this
didn't get 10 faves like I had wanted, I just wanted to post
this to let everybody know something.
I may not be returning to witty. I posted a quote, got TONS of
hate, and don't feel so great about myself right now.
I'm not going to delete the quote, because I expressed my
opinion, which I guess could be easily misinterpretted. I have an
opinion, and I shared it. I NEVER meant to offend people, I would
never do that because I know what insults about how you look feel
like.
I'm posting this to say that this is awful.
I'm barely on witty, and the one quote I post and get
a good amount of faves on, I get hate for.This site tries to
prevent cyberbullying by helping people, but you people are
awful.
I'm going to need a break form witty. Some of you might be
happy, but for those of you reading this story, this is as far as
I got writing, so I posted this.
I'll come back when I'm ready.
(Sorry for this little rant.)
I love feedback, just to know if people like it :)

Chapter
12
It was a long night at the fair.
We had spent a long time together all four of us, but then we
eventually split off into pairs.
Jared and Karmen went to do whatever they do, and Lucy and I had
a lot of fun.
I kept passing people I recognized from school, and when they saw
me with Lucy, they gave me all these looks and glares, but I
tried to ignore them.
I loved getting to know Lucy more.
I figured out, she loved photography, the rain, she had two dogs,
a turtle, and had moved three times before high school.
Little things, I know, but they meant so much.
I kept having this urge to just lean down and kiss her.
But then I remembered that she wasn’t like any other girl I
had met.
She had made it clear what her intentions were, and that mine
better be the same.
So I stuck to the “getting to know each other”
routine.
I looked down at my watch, and it read almost 11.
“You wanna grab a little something sweet?” Lucy asked
me, pointing to a soft serve ice cream truck.
I nodded and we walked over.
We ordered what we wanted.
Me, vanilla with chocolate sprinkles, Lucy, chocolate and vanilla
twist with rainbow sprinkles.
I insisted that I pay for Lucy’s too; telling her it was my
treat.
“Friends don’t pay for friends ice cream,
remember?” she laughed and we each handed the guy our
money.
It felt kind of lousy being pushed into the friend zone with no
way out.
I had to keep reminding myself that I couldn’t treat Lucy
the way I did any other girl, Lucy had respect for herself.
I couldn’t just throw her against the wall and kiss
her.
But one day, I hope I might be able to.
Maybe if I tried to move slightly out of this dreadful friend
zone, I could squeeze my way closer to her.
But what were my intentions?
To hook up and then end it? No, I could never hurt her like
that.
Start a long relationship? I had never been in one!
Stay friends? I couldn’t take this torture.
I just had to see where this took me.
We walked a little, out of the way of all the rides, and over to
a bench.
We sat down and faced each other, loudly slurping our ice cream
cones.
“I really like you, and I want to know more about
you.” I blurted out.
I was startled by my words, unaware of how she was going to
react.
She remained calm.
“What do you want to know?” she asked, looking up at
me.
“Everything.”
Let's try for
10 faves? If you read please fave, I like knowing if people are
reading. Its just one click! :)
This chapter was kind of boring, it will get better, I
promise!
I love feedback, just to know if people like it :)
