Chapter 40: Kissed Her

Alex took a second to reply. It was not the first time a girl had come this close. But it felt like the first time he did not feel nauseated from their thick line of makeup or smell. She smelled like mint. Alex shook his head and pushed the girl back on the wall. A decision he regretted, her body was too warm. The hand touching her shoulders felt scalded. What was happening? He looked at her in confusion. And then around them.

"Do you think that I need your help with my studies?" he asked, frowning. But the frown had nothing to do with their conversation.

"Do you not? You always get zero." Nora feigned ignorance. But even if he was smart, she was smarter. She had read all these books once, she did not need to attend the classes to know what the teacher was going to teach next.

"Ha!" he scoffed, "i do not care what you think. Fuck off and do not cross my path again." he pushed her and started walking away when her eyes narrowed.
