Chapter Two: Unexpected Kisses
The most utterly shocking thing had just happened to me! Wang Zi had just asked me out. And I said YES. Sigh. I don’t even like him anymore but I didn’t want to turn him down and plus one little date won’t hurt, right? The plan was eat dinner, catch a movie and go home. In the beginning, everything was going along very well liked planned, the time when things got really shocking was when we arrived right at the gates of my house…
“Well, I had fun tonight,” Wang Zi spoke with a sweet smile and his fingers was fidgeting around.
I just nodded to agree. I wanted to walk straight inside but that would be rude. So before I did that, I bided him a good bye and was about to walk down the path to my doorstep. But Wang Zi immediately grabbed my hands and before I knew it, his lips smacked onto mine. Oh my god. Those were the three words that ran through my mind as my body froze. His eyes were closed as mine were wide open, and it lasted that way until 15 seconds after when he parted away.
“See you later Gui, night,” he flashed me a smile and turned toward his car and drove off.
Snap out of it. Gosh, I can’t believe he kissed me. I remember when I had my first kiss it made me blush but this time I’m rather stunned. Reluctantly, I went to my doorstep. Not wanting to go in, I just turned around and headed toward a different destination – the beach. A place where I love going, either to relax, calm myself down, or when I have problems. I would only go mainly if I had problems though.
When I arrived to the beach, someone was there. I know it’s a guy as his back actually looked familiar too. I guess he felt my presence or something because the guy turned to my direction. It was Aaron. Isn’t this wonderful, first going through a terrifying shock - well not that terrifying but whatever – and now seeing “Mr. Thinks-he-knows-it-all”. But tonight he seemed rather down, so I walked over to him.
“Hey, what are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be on your date?” he asked me curiously yet coldly.
Hmmm. How does he know I was on a date? Maybe Qiao Qiao or Wang Zi or Calvin told him.
“Wang Zi just brought me home but I wanted to come here, so yeah, you? Why are you here?”
“What? Guys aren’t allowed at the beach?” he questioned me but I stayed silent and shook my head. It’s weird how right now I feel so shy – quieter – around him when usually I’m louder. Then, Aaron continued, “We broke up.”
It shocked me to hear him say that, just too make sure I didn’t hear wrong I let out a soft “huh”.
“Reen and I broke up.”
Oh so I guess that’s why he seemed depressed. Half of me felt bad while the other half was relieved with a tint of happiness. Just to my curiosity I asked him ‘how’. I know it’s bad to be nosy but I really wanted to know.
“I hinted to her that I wanted to break up, since the past few days our relationship wasn’t going well. Then she told me she wanted to break up too, so there was when we officially ended,” he confessed.
“Then why do you seem so upset? You wanted to break up too didn’t you?”
“Yeah, I did,” Aaron replied in a matter-of-factly tone, “I’m not upset about that, I just saw something I didn’t want to see…”
I sat right beside him as my mouth formed an ‘O’. Hmmm. Wonder what he saw, actually better not ask, I’m already getting too nosy.
He started throwing rocks into the sea.
“You know, I find it better to scream,” I spoke with a vague smile, making his right brow cocked up as he looked at me.
I cooped my hands around my mouth and released a scream toward the sea. When I finished, I turned my head around to see him smile.
“It’s better to skip rocks, you won’t kill your voice or make someone deaf,” he smirked.
“Hey, I was just trying to make you feel better, why did you have to say that?” I was just trying to care for him but he had to destroy the mood!
But it really surprised me when he said, “Thanks.”
I couldn’t speak but just replied with a smile, I guess I did help him feel better? I don’t know why but my lips seemed to form into a big grin.
“I’ll bring you home, it’s getting late,” he suggested.
Wow, I can’t believe it’s already eleven. I nodded as we both stood up.
We were walking back to my house; we didn’t even spoke one word to each other so far. It’s actually pretty awkward, I mean when were close to each other there is usually something to talk about or at least to quarrel about. I guess I wasn’t really paying attention as we were walking down the crosswalk, for it had changed from the walk sign to the stop sign. But I hadn’t notice and kept on walking while a car was speeding down the street. But on good timing Aaron had pulled me back in time so I didn’t get ran over. Maybe he pulled to hard but my lips ended up landing on his chin, very close to his lips, my eyes widen as I immediately pulled back.
“Sorry! Thanks for helping me though,” my head was tilted down, not wanting to make eye contact. But I think he turned his head also. “Umm, I think I can leave from here, I mean, my house is only a block away from here.”
“Uh, yeah, well see ya later.”
“Bye,” I replied quickly and hurried walking back home trying to forget what happened. Oh boy, what an embarrassment!
Enjoy chapter two! =)

Aaron Yan
Hello everyone! This is Sherry, better known as withlove*! I wanted to try something new and post my stories on blogger and see how it works. I'm doing this because on Winglin you can't create new accounts anymore. So here I am! I tried to make it like Winglin a bit so hopefully it will work out!
This story was previously called A Little More Than Friends. I wrote it like 5 years ago, when I was in 8th grade, so it might be a little childish at first. At that time, Nicholas Tse and Charlene Choi were the main leads but I changed it to match my current interest which is of course, Guilun!
Sweet Sayings!
“There is this indescribable feeling when I think of you…”
“Just seeing you smile, it can warm me up for the whole day…”

Author’s Rambles!
Chapter One: The Typical Morning
Someone suddenly waved her hands in my face, and asked, “Wei, Guigui! Earth to Wu Ying Jie! Guigui! You Okay?”
That was my best friend, Joanne Zeng, better known as Qiao Qiao. As I like to call her a social butterfly. Easy-going girl who get’s straight “A’s”. I knew this girl every since we were in diapers, we’ve been through lots together, from school work to family problems to boys, everything! My “BFF”, Best friend forever.
Giving me quite a fright, I couldn’t help but gave her a quick scold and slapped her hand lightly, “Hey, don’t do that! I’m alright, just daydreaming.”
“Whatcha thinking about? Wang Zi?” she questioned me with a giggle. Heck, why in the world would I be thinking of him! Rolling my eye I just ignored her as I continued to walk down to the metro bus stop. Suddenly, a metro bus just flies by. Just great. Now we missed the bus again!
Qiao Qiao groaned, “Awww, this is the third time this week.”
“Tell me about it! It’s your fault you know! Now we are going to be late!”
“How is it my fault this time, fine I admit it was my fault last time, but this time nuh uh. You slept in, so ha!” she pulled her tongue out at me.
“Whatever. I bet were gonna get detention this time from Mr. Chen.”
“Wait, we can ask Aaron to drive us. He should be,” Qiao Qiao glanced at her watch, “picking up Reen right now. We can call him to give us a lift.”
Aaron, Aaron Yan Yalun, Qiao Qiao’s cousin. He’s pretty cool to hang with, but I kinda hate hanging around him sometimes since he can be tremendously annoying I tell you, if not at least to me. I must admit, he is hot but I definitely promise you that we will never be more than friends. Not like we ever will have a chance together anyways since he does have a girlfriend.
A couple minutes after Qiao Qiao had gave Aaron a call, he appears right in front of us with Reen, his girlfriend in his black BMW. Hmmm, is it me or does he switch his cars every day? Oh whatever, rich kids these days, so spoiled, not that they aren’t ever spoiled.
“Why do you guys miss the bus practically every day?” Aaron raised his right eyebrow with a small smirk.
“None of your business, am I right Mr. Yan?” I quickly retorted him; see how easily he could get on my nerves?
“It is his business, he’s the one giving you two a ride,” Reen turned and gave me a slight glare. Whatever.
Reen Lu, dating Aaron for a month or so, well to be exact it’s been thirty-three days so far. Wait, don’t tell me I actually counted how long they’ve dated, how is them dating any of my business? Good heavens. Anyways, Reen is also one of the popular girls in our school. I never really liked her though, she’s quite nice but I don’t exactly know why I dislike her, oh who am I kidding, I hate her. She seems to always get on my nerves. And if you say this is jealousy, like why should I be jealous of her? Please…
In no longer than five minutes we arrived. Ling Tung High School.
Strolling over to my locker with Qiao Qiao, there was Calvin Chen and Qiu Sheng Yi. Calvin Chen as in Qiao Qiao’s boyfriend, don’t they just look cute together, they just started dating recently due to me being the matchmaker might I add. Qiu Sheng Yi, better known as Wang Zi is Calvin and Aaron's best bud. My old crush but now I think he likes me now but since I said he is my old crush, it's given that I don’t like him anymore.
Suddenly the five minute bell rang, indicating that students should head to homeroom.
“Bye Aaron, see you in Physics,” Reen gave Aaron a sweet smile and walked away.
“Let’s go,” Calvin held Qiao Qiao’s hand and led her to homeroom as Aaron and I followed. Us four had the same homeroom together. Mr. Chen, room 143.

Third Period. The only class where I’m only with Aaron. Did I mention each period is 100 minutes since we have three alternating periods between Tuesday to Friday? And you know what? It's torture! Here we are, Japanese with Mrs. Kimura. Today we’re doing some cooking. Yakisoba. It’s like pan fried, rice noodles. I love it when we have cooking classes in Japanese but today is kinda different. Yakisoba is delicious but I have to help cook it with Aaron. I have no problem cooking, but with him…great, isn’t this gonna be fun.
“You know, you’re suppose to put the cooked veggies in the noodles then the meat. Not meat then veggies,” I scolded him.
Rolling his eyes, “Does it really matter?”
Giving him a sarcastic smile of mine I said, “Some people may be vegetarian here you know. Plus it makes perfect sense.”
God, I hate his attitude. So arrogant. See, how easy it takes him to make me get pissed. Argh. I bet sensei heard us bickering or else she wouldn’t come right toward us. It's actually Mrs. Kimura but I grew accustomed to calling her sensei. A sweet woman really, a bit to the plump side though. She's from Taiwanese descent but her husband is Japanese hence the name Kimura.
“Any troubles?” Sensei asked.
Yes! Totally! Do I really have to cook with him? I mean he’s a horrible cook!
“Aren’t you supposed to put the veggies in before the meat?”
“It doesn’t matter really. Nobody in here is vegetarian.”
“See told you,” Aaron gave me a smirk, god how much I want to wipe it off his face.
Whatever.
I rolled my eyes as I continued with the cooking, looking at the clock, it read ‘10:30’. Great, just great…Japanese is going to last for years. Sigh.
Please note that the setting is in Taiwan! However the education system in this story definitely not base off the Taiwanese education system, it’s more westernized. Just go with it since this is a fanfic haha xD Enjoy chapter one! =)
