WHITNEY
I heard cheering from the guys' table, and I turned around.
Hannah. Phillip. Kissing.
I think my heart stopped. Why couldn't it be like that for me and Harry? Ours was probably just a pity date on his part. I felt so pathetic. Who could want me when they could have Hannah Stillwell, the most gorgeous, lucky girl on earth?
Solemnly, I turned back to Harry. I was going to have to face a million years of grief from Hannah, with all of the intricate details of her and Phil's kiss.
Harry was lookig at me, but I didn't understand how. Was it confusion? Disapproval? Was he rethinking his choice to ask me out?
"Hmm," he said. "Are you jealous?"
I snorted--very nonchalant.
He smiled. "That's good."
My eyebrows furrowed. "Why's that?"
"So that when I kiss you, I'll know that it's not out of jealousy."
I swallowed. "You want to kiss me?"
"Sure. Who wouldn't?"
"It looks like Phillip might not. Hes too busy shoving his tongue down Sleepy's throat," I wisecracked.
Harry laughed.
I involuntarily looked at my watch. I heard an intake of breath from Harry. "You have to go, right?"
I grimaced. "Yeah. I've got to get to Bio early.... Maybe I'll see you at my soccer game tonight?"
He flashed his gorgeous teeth in a smile. "Wouldn't miss it, girl."
"Sweet. Kiss you later!" I said, and sauntered out of the cafeteria.
