‘I like muffins. That’s why,’ I replied.

‘I still think we should say we’ve already had our first

kiss,’ he told me.

‘No one cares what you think,’ I replied before

putting my phone away.

Caleb was patiently waiting while Dana gave me a

confused look. She knew something was up. When

Jonah finally came back, he handed me my plate

which consisted of a chocolate chip muffin and a

bottle of cherry cola. I smiled at it. “Thanks.”

He just nodded his head before looking at Caleb.

“So…why are you so curious about our

relationship?”

He was blunt, blunter than I could’ve been. Caleb also

was surprised by his frankness. “Well…I asked

Savannah out on a date and said she couldn’t make it

because she had a boyfriend. I assumed it was

Francis by what my friends told me; you probably

know the rumors that went around. They also told

me how you guys stopped talking. I didn’t think it

was you but it seems as if you guys made up and

are the best of friends.”

“Yeah, well, the feelings were always there,” Jonah

stated simply. I held back from squealing by taking a

large bite of my muffin. I silently reminded myself

that this isn’t a real relationship and I shouldn’t get so

worked up about it. Caleb looked to me for

confirmation and I just nodded my head.

“How long have you guys been dating?” Caleb nosily

inquired. Dana was listening perceptively. From the

looks I was sending her and she’d been returning,

she knows it’s fake.

I trusted myself to answer this question. I sipped my

soda. “We’ve been dating for two weeks.”

Dana, knowing that I like Jonah, decided to speak up.

“Kiss.”

My head snapped in her direction and I glared at her.

“We would but we’re waiting for our one month

mark to have our first kiss.” See? This is exactly why

I said that detail! If I hadn’t thought of that, we’d

probably we staring at each other awkwardly.

“Sure, our first kiss,” Jonah chuckled. I turned to look

at Jonah, a confused look on my face as I looked up

at him. He glanced down at me and flashed me a

smile. What’s that supposed to mean?

“That’s a stupid rule,” Dana grumbled and I stuffed

my face with more of the muffin, which was almost

gone. I need to learn how to ration better.

Jonah sighed. “She came up with it,” he blamed. I felt

my face redden as I continued chewing the muffin.

“You guys seem like you have a good relationship,”

Caleb stated as the bell rang and I sighed in relief.

“Just one teeny kiss?” Dana asked and before I could

deny her request, I felt Jonah’s lips peck my cheek.

My face was red and my body felt like it was on fire

due to the fact that his lips touched my face. I turned

my gaze to the floor and allowed Jonah to walk me

to class as he swung our hands together.

“You guys are dating?!” Mere squealed and I tried to

calm her down. She was scaring some of the

customers

I grabbed her shoulders and shook her slightly. Like

a doll, her eyes rolled around a bit more before they

focused on me. “No, Mere, we’re only ‘dating’ so we

can convince Caleb that I’m in a relationship so he’ll

stop bothering me.”

Mere stared at me. “So? Who cares? You’re in a

relationship with Jonah!”

“A fake relationship, Mere, it’s not the same,” I replied

as I rubbed my temples. I looked up to see Ms.

Antoinette standing in the doorway of the employee

lounge. She pointed behind her, an amused look on

her face.
