Levi and I met in the old shop class for lunch again. With Andrew glaring daggers at Levi for being near me, I thought it best to keep out of sight. I hoped that it would give Andrew some time to get used to the idea it was over between us.

Levi and I shared a sandwich I had bought from the bodega at the corner before school. We spoke in hushed voices to avoid people finding us. He never pressured me into anything. It was so easy being around him. We sat there and talked, both of us content to be in each other’s company without the pressure of having other people around, mainly Andrew. And the prying eyes of the cheerleaders, Amber being one of them.

“Finished your half yet?” he joked, and I couldn’t help but laugh. “I think you’re done.” He stood up and grabbed the garbage from the table and placed it in a plastic bag. Then he moved the chair he was sitting on closer to me.

I felt his presence as he leaned in close to me and said, “No matter what life throws your way, never forget to laugh.” He smiled at me, taking my hands in his. He stared into my eyes. “It’s important to find joy in life, no matter how hard it may seem.”

He raised his hand to my face, his eyes dropping to my lips, then back up again. His warm touch and genuine smile melted my heart. I leaned into his touch, feeling a strong connection with him. We were kids when we met, but even then, I knew that this boy would be my soulmate.

He yanked me out of my seat and into his lap, holding my hips with a firm grip as his lips pressed against mine. His lips moved against mine ever so gently, his tongue pushing past my lips, exploring the depths of my mouth. My hands found their way into his hair, tugging softly as I kissed him back with a fervor that I had never felt before.

Andrew was never able to make me feel this passion, and this realization made me wonder why I had bothered to stay with him for so long.

My body was heating up as if I was being consumed by the fire of this new and unexpected emotion; I wanted more. I tugged his hair a little tighter, urging him to pull me closer. But instead, he pulled away. A sudden wave of disappointment and sadness washed over me.

He searched my eyes before he spoke. “Rachel,” he said, drawing small circles on my back. He stood, making me stand too. He cupped my neck and kept his eyes fixed on mine. His lips parted in a half smile as he leaned
