Hayden leaned against the lockers, a smirk on his face. "I guess I should be impressed. You've definitely upgraded from being the quiet girl to someone who actually takes the spotlight."
I raised an eyebrow, crossing my arms. "And I guess I should be surprised to see you back, pretending like nothing ever happened. You're really pulling off the 'mysterious comeback' look."

Elijah Reed is my enemy, uh I mean neighbor.
He gives a whole new meaning to the term "bad boy" and I would like nothing better than for him to leave me alone. The problem is that he basically declared war on me when he moved in next door. He stole my first kiss and vowed to steal all my other first times. Elijah's older brother, Uriah, had apologized for his rude behavior.
I said it was alright.
I would get my revenge.
At least that's what I thought.
*********
That was my first kiss.
And he had stolen it.
"What the hell, Elijah?" Uriah growled.
"You need to watch your back because I swear, I will get you back for this," I said with my hands on my hips.
"Don't tell me that was your first kiss, Vic," he said.
I blushed hard and stuttered, "N-No, of course not."
"Liar."
