Chapter 7 – Why You Kissed Me?

• As they walked into the room, they saw Tim standing across from their room. They just ignored him and hurried inside. But Tim called them when he saw them.
• "Nicole!" Tim calls her.
• Nicole turned and approached Tim, Jane followed her.
• "Oh why?" Nicole asked.
• "Do you have a classmate named Amy?" Tim asked, smiling.
• "Amy? Amy Mendez?" Nicole asked.
• "Maybe that's her; I don't know her last name. Can you call her please?" Please by Tim.
• "Ah, what do you need from her?" Nicole asked.
• "Well, I'll just ask her something." said Tim.
• "Ah, okay."
• Then Nicole and Jane came in and called Amy.
• "Amy, someone is looking for you outside." Nicole said to her.
• She looked at her and she immediately came out, Jane and Nicole sat down in their chairs.
• When Amy got out, she saw the familiar man standing on the side; he looked at her and smiled. She approached him and talked.
• "Are you looking for me?" Amy asked Tim.
• "Yes." Tim's short answer as he nodded.
• "Well, it was you last night that I bumped? What do you need?" Amy asked while pointing a finger at him.
• "Yes, that's me. I would like to know you better; can I get your number?" Tim asked with a cute smile.
• "Ah, sorry but I don't want to give it to you!" Amy refused.
• Tim was surprised by her refusal.
• "Well, if you don't want to give it to me, can we go out this Saturday, if you are free?" Tim asked her while making Amy cute.
• But no matter how cute Tim is, it has no effect on Amy.
• "No! I am not free!" Amy's second refusal, as she crossed her arms.
• Tim wonders why Amy rejects him, this is the first time a woman has rejected him, because all the girls he approaches immediately give the number and he doesn't have to say two words.
• He looked closely at Amy and stepped closer to Amy, Amy stepped back a bit.
• "Why are you rejecting me?" Tim asked her seriously.
• "Aren't you one of the members of the Second Chance Band right?" Amy asked him.
• "Yup, that's me, I'm a bassist!" Tim's proud.
• "Well, in that case, you will definitely have a lot of famous girls; you will just invite them out! Okay, bye!" After speaking Amy immediately turned around and walked away from him.
• "Wait, Amy!" Tim called, but Amy didn't turn around and went straight into the classroom.
• Tim was just shake his head by Amy's rejection of him and sighed. Then he left as well and returned to their classroom.
• Meanwhile, Kim, who was bullied by Nicole, complained to her older brother and she was ready to retaliate against Nicole. His friends immediately hide to ambush Nicole on her way home.
• It was night when Nicole finished their subject and Jane and Nicole went to the library to finish it. Then they went back to the dorm together, when Jane was in front in the girls' dorm she said goodbye to Nicole.
• "All right Nicole, I'll go first, be careful." Jane said goodbye and entered the dorm.
• "Okay then."
• While not far away someone was waiting for Nicole, and was hiding in the trees.
• "Is that the girl who bullied you?" Marco asked his sister Kim.
• "Yes bro, she is." after Kim said they hurried out from the trees and approached Nicole.
• Nicole, on the other hand, was surprised to walk when she saw the three men in front of her and Kim blocking her path. 
• They look down on her and she is nervous about what might happen next. She looked around, but there were almost no students walking in that place.
• "How are you Nicole?" Kim asked her.
• "What do you need?" she asked boldly.
• "Are you the one who bullied my sister?" Marco asked, it was fat and of medium height, it barely approached her and stared at her wickedly.
• "I did not bully her; we are just charging her for his debt!" Nicole replied.
• "Liar! You want to hurt me! You even chased me to your colleagues!" said Kim annoyingly.
• "We chased you because you ran!" said Nicole.
• "Is that so, you even chased my sister to your allies! Well now, find your ally in what we will do to you!" said Marco as he approached her and tried to hold Nicole by the arm.
• But Nicole quickly dodged and kicked Marco hard and he fell from the ground.
• "You bitch!!!" Kim suddenly slapped her hard.
• She was shocked when Kim slapped her so she could not avoid it. The two men with her also approached her and held her in both arms, so that she could not move. Kim approached her again and pulled out his hair.
• "Now, where is your courage?!" Kim said to her and tried to slap her again, but someone suddenly stopped Kim's hand.
• They all looked at who it was.
• "Jake!"
• Kim was surprised to see Jake, and she immediately changed her attitude.
• "What are you doing?" as Jake looked at them and noticed Nicole's pitiful look at the two men.
• "Ah, Jake I just want her to apologize to me." Kim lied.
• "Why would she apologize to you?" Jake asked.
• "Because she bullied me and together with her friends, didn't you even save me. Can you let me go first, I'm already in pain." Kim said as she frowned at the pain of Jake's grip on her arm.
• "Let go of Nicole and I will let you go!" Jake's simple answer.
• They looked at each other and looked at Marco what his decision was.
• "All right, let her go!" Marco's orders.
• When he saw that they had released Nicole, he immediately released Kim as well, then he grabbed and pulled Nicole closer to him and he stared at them wickedly, and then walked away.
• "Hey, we're not done yet!" Marco shouted at them.
• The two of them suddenly stopped walking, and suddenly someone attacked Jake's back, they fought and punched each other. 
• Another man would have punched Jake again but Nicole quickly kicked the man, knocking him down on the grass. Marco followed and also punched Jake, but Jake avoided it. He punched it hard in the face and body and kicked it on the grass too.
• As the three lay down, Jake and Nicole looked at each other and signalled. Then at the same time they ran fast while holding hands. Marco's group chased after them.
• In the distance they hid in a corner in a dark place, so they can't see them. Jake pulled her and leaned against the corner of the wall and he also tried to hide himself. Their bodies were almost clung to that position and they could feel the strong throbbing of their chests, due to the gasp of running.
• "Where are they? Did you see? "
• They heard a voice, while Nicole was sneezing; Jake immediately covered Nicole's face, so they couldn't hear her sneeze.
• "Maybe there, let's go!" said a man.
• And they felt that they were gone, Jake slowly removed his hand from Nicole, but they still did not move and they were still touching their bodies. In that position they inhaled every single breath, which gave them a strange feeling.
• "Thank you." Nicole said softly as she stared at Jake.
• Jake and Nicole looked at each other and Jake looked at her lips and Jake suddenly kissed her on the lips. She did not expect that kiss of Jake, it was stronger compared to the kiss they had in the past. She watched Jake close his eyes as he kissed her passionately, she also closed her eyes for a moment with Jake's sweet kisses on her.
• After a while it also ended and they both took a deep breath.
• Jake looked around before speaking.
• "Looks like they're gone, let's go!" Jake said to her.
• "All right." she nodded.
• Then she followed Jake to walk into the dorm. When they entered the dorm, Nicole immediately treated Jake's wounds on his face and hands.
• She gets the first aid kit in the drawer and they sit down inside of Nicole's bed. Jake has a wound in face, near his lips and some scratches too near his eyes.
• "Ahhh! Be careful!" he said to Nicole.
• "Oh, sorry." she said and carefully put some medicine on it.
• While putting the medicine near in his lips, she remembered the kiss that they had earlier. Those lips, kissed her, she just stared at him, and Jake realized she was imagining. He asked her to stop her imagination.
• "Tssk! Why did you come home late? Didn't I tell you not to come home late?" Jake asked Nicole angrily.
• "Jane and I just finished an assignment at the library so it took us a while." Nicole explained.
• "Next time don't spend so late outside!" Jake said.
• "Okay, by the way thank you." Nicole said as she nodded.
• "That's because of your bullying, that's what you got. Those people might chase you!" Jake worried about her.
• "I'm sorry, even you also get trouble because of me." said Nicole.
• Jake then took his cell phone from his pocket.
• "Can I have your cell phone?" Jake ordered her and she took the cell phone and handed it to him.
• Jake typed his number on Nicole's cell phone and dialled. The phone was then returned to Nicole.
• "That's my number, please save it. Call me when they bother you again!" said Jake.
• "Okay, thanks!"
• She answered briefly then Jake got dressed and went up to his bed.
• Meanwhile, at night time she still could not sleep, she was struggling in bed. She did not know what position to take for sleep.
• Jake woke up to her movement. She can still imagine Jake kissing her; she wants to know why Jake kissed her.
• "Can you stop moving? If you can't sleep, please consider others!" Jake yelled at her.
• Nicole was surprised when Jake shouted. She suddenly woke up and asked Jake as he lay on the second deck bed.
• "Jake, I can't sleep, I want to know... why you kissed me?" she asked Jake.
• Jake suddenly opened his eyes. But he turned away from her and faced the wall.
• "I don't know!" his short answer to her.
• "Hey, Jake! Jake!" she called him again, but Jake ignored her.
• She just went back to her bed and tried to sleep.
