The Heartbroken - S01 E71

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 71

The topic suddenly

went from Warren and

Alyssa’s past to

swapping spit and Who

do you think is the best

kisser among the whole

student body?

“Well, Kyla, do you want

to answer that?” Seth

said, nudging me with

his elbow, a

mischievous smirk on

his face.

Everyone clapped and

sort of cheered. I

blushed, half-mad and

half-surprised for being

put on the spot. I

looked at Seth and said,

“If I do, it might break

your heart.”

“Ooooooh,” everyone

said.

Seth narrowed his eyes

at me, the smirk

disintegrating into a

slightly annoyed frown.

“What did you say?”

“You heard me.”

“Well, Seth. Though

you’re not the best

kisser for Kyla, you’re

still number one in her

heart, I suppose. Don’t

take it too hard.” Lily

told him mockingly, in a

voice that was usually

used when saying

There, there, it will be

all right.

Seth turned to me

completely, ignoring Lily

and everyone else. “I’m

pretty sure you must

have damaged your

brain along the way and

forgot all about last

night. Should I refresh

your memory?”

“No, that would be

unnece—”

Before I could finish, he

already swooped in to

press his lips against

mine, surprisingly gentle

as he pulled me closer.

Ah, f--k it. He was a

d--n good kisser.

Everyone might have

cheered or groaned, but

I wasn’t sure because

everything else

suddenly didn’t matter

anymore, completely

drowned out by one,

simple kiss.

When he pulled away,

he still had this annoyed

expression. I blinked as

everything came back

to focus.

“Well?” he prompted,

obviously pissed.

“Th-that wasn’t—I’ve

had better kisses,” I

said, stumbling on my

words as I willed my

blush to go away.

“Fine.” He removed his

arm from the back of

my seat, where it was

casually draped around

my shoulders.

“Whatever.”

“Hey, I was just—”

“Who is it?” he asked

me, not directly looking

at me. Everyone was

looking at him, mildly

amused and obviously

surprised. “Who’s the

guy?”

I couldn’t help but blink

in surprise as it dawned

on me that Seth

freaking Everett was

seriously pissed. “Well, I

—”

“You know what?

Forget it. Don’t tell me.

Don’t—just don’t. Spare

me the horrific details,

you ungrateful

girlfriend.” He huffed

and inched his chair

away from mine,

placing his elbow on the

table and resting his

head against his hand,

facing away from me

as he sipped his drink

from the straw.

What the f--k? I bit

down on my bottom lip

to keep myself from

laughing.

“Duuuuude,” Justin

(who else) said, nodding

at me with this wide

grin on his face. “Nice!

It’s great to see Seth

Everett lose his cool.”

I wanted to enjoy

myself even further,

but the look on his face

made my hand reach

for his, taking it in mine.

“No elbows on the

table,” I told him, pulling

his hand away from his

head and guiding it back

under the table. For

some reason even I can

never explain, I slipped

my fingers between his.

“I was just kidding.”

“Tsk.” He pointedly

looked away, but not

before I saw his lips curl

into a familiar smile as

he curled his fingers

with mine.

God, we’re taking this

acting thing way too

seriously.

—

Alyssa and Lily looped

their arms with both of

mine and dragged me

away from the guys,

walking a few feet

behind them. We’d

already entered

Cloudland, which was a

weird name for an

amusement park, and I

couldn’t quite contain

the excitement I was

feeling. I tried not to

seem too eager,

worried they might

think I’m such a child.
