Stressed Out? I think not, a Romance fanfic

A nice little one shot. Yes you're all probably wondering, why am I writing so many one shots? Well, just to let you know, I'm planning a little mini novel. It's probably going to be about 20 chapters...or more. Not sure yet. These one shots are just little random pieces getting me ready to write an actual story. For now, ENJOY :D

17 year old Karin sighed as she made her way to her locker. Her black hair got in her face and she furiously tied it up in a messy bun. She was having a bad day. After getting hit in the face with the volleyball, she made a complete fool of herself by somehow getting lost on her way to homeroom. Luckily the teacher had let them out early so she had a few minutes before the bell rang. She furiously opened her locker and grabbed her Biology textbook while dumping her gym clothes in there. She slammed her locker shut and walked towards her destined classroom.

To make things worse, she didn't do any homework and didn't study at all. She had 3 tests that day ! Boy, was she screwed. Why, you ask? She was simply pooped out the night before and fell asleep. She sighed once again as she saw Room 404 up ahead. Her friend waved at her and already sensed her bad mood.

"Hey Karin. Rough morning?" Karin slowly nodded.

"Could be worse I guess." Suddenly HE came up behind her.

"What's wrong Karin?" she knew that voice.

"Spoke too soon." she mumbled as she glared at him.

Desmond raised an eyebrow seeing her menacing glare but wasn't affected by it. He just smirked.

"Didn't do your homework again?" She just crossed her arms over her chest and turned around.

"That's none of your business." he chuckled.

"I take that as a yes." This only worsened her mood. She turned around and looked him straight in the eye.

"Look. What I do is none of your business." He just stood back and smirked, knowing what was coming. This just seemed to get her even angrier.

"Is it MY fault I got home late?! Is it MY fault that my parents want me to go to a good college unlike YOU?!" her babbling just made him laugh. She had to admit. He was cute when he laughed.

Wow. Where'd that girl that was mad at him go to? Don't worry, she's still here. She likes him. But she also hates him. Hates him for being so likeable. Him with his chocolate colored hair was always messy while his striking amber eyes just added to the charm. He towered at 6' while she stood at a measly 5'3". But that's what he gets for playing basketball 20/7. You're probably wondering: why 20/7? Isn't it 24/7? No. Because at SOME POINT of the day, he finds time to annoy her. A lot. Whenever he's not playing basketball, you can find Desmond wherever Karin is. Yes, Karin fell for him, hard. When? She didn't know. All she knew was that she was falling badly. She merely stood there and glared while waiting for his laughter to die out.

Desmond continued laughing. This was one of the reasons why he liked her so much. She got so mad easily but it was cute. Her bangs were released from her bun and fell onto the sides of her face. It only made her look even more beautiful that she already was. He loved it. How she would glare at him. How she would yell at him and how immature she was at times. He loved it all. He decided to stop laughing and she merely rolled her eyes.

"Was it really THAT funny?" he only smirked.

"Maybe. You tell me."

"I'm miserable right now and all you can do is laugh?!" he decided her had to calm her down. Her friend over there wasn't doing such a swell job.

"Karin, calm down. Take a deep breath." she merely rolled her eyes.

"How do you expect me to calm down?! And why should I ev--" she was suddenly cut off by him. His lips to be precise. She closed her eyes and slowly responded.

Desmond couldn't help it. He had a sudden urge to kiss her. His conscience urged him on and he decided to listen to that little voice in his head for once. He gently kissed her on the lips, forcing her to shut up. When she didn't respond, he got scared. He didn't want to ruin the friendship that they had.

Well, THEIR kind of friendship anyways. Back to the kiss.

When he was just about to pull back and apologize, she finally responded. He knew it. She liked him. But he didn't know how much or how long. He smiled to himself and pulled back for air. She just stood there in shock.

"What--?" he cut her off again by pressing his index finger to her lips.

"C'mon," he said as the bell rang. He took her hand and lead her in the classroom. "I'll give you the homework. Then we can study during free period."

She smiled and followed him. Maybe her day wasn't so bad after all.

OK ! So that wraps up my second one shot. Hope you liked it. Even if you didn't, I'd really appreciate it if you left a review, telling me what I need to work on. I'd appreciate some feedback to improve my writing. R&R ! Please and thank you !

Lub,
