Simone Elkeles Quote

He looks at me with chocolate brown eyes that are so intense I swear they could hypnotize someone. You ready? he asks.For a nanosecond, as I’m staring into those dark eyes, I wonder what it would be like to kiss Alex. My gaze drops to his lips. For less than a nanosecond, I can almost feel them coming closer. Would his lips be hard on mine, or soft? Is he a slow kisser, or hungry and fast like his personality?For what? I whisper as I lean closer.The project, he says. Hand warmers. Peterson’s class. Chemistry.I shake my head, clearing all ridiculous thoughts from my overactive teenage mind. I must be sleep-deprived. Yeah, hand warmers. I open my chem book.Brittany?What? I say, staring blindly at the words on the page. I have no clue what I’m reading because I’m too embarrassed to concentrate.You were lookin’ at me like you wanted to kiss me.I force a laugh. Yeah, right, I say sarcastically.Nobody’s watchin’ if you want to, you know, try it. Not to brag, but I’m somewhat of an expert.He gives me a lazy smile, one that was probably created to melt girls’ hearts all over the globe.Alex, you’re not my type. I need to tell him something to stop him from looking at me like he’s planning to do things to me I’ve only heard about.
