Go With The Flow. You Can't Risk Angering Her.

Chapter by XMysticEu

"I... I haven't smoked before." You said, rubbing the back of your neck. "That's what I wanted to say..."

"Cute." Jackie chuckled, tussling your hair. "Let's hold off on trying one then, alright?"

"I-"

"Don't try to impress me, you'll make yourself sick." Jackie said, tossing the pack of cigarettes onto her bed. "So..."

"So?"

"Was I any good?" Jackie asked, a hint of red on her cheeks. "August told me how to kiss, but I hadn't..."

"You hadn't kissed anyone before?" You asked quietly, your heart racing at Jackie acting so... meek. And girly, completely unlike her usual attitude!

"Y-You have?!" Jackie shouted, slamming her palm against the wall. In an instant, she had you pinned, her lip quivering as she locked eyes with you. "Wh-Who? Everyone at school knows you're off-limits, so which skank-"

"No one! That was my first one too!" You shouted, your blood running cold as Jackie pushed her face closer. "I'm... off-limits?"

"Y-Yeah."

"Why didn't you-"

"Is it really that weird that I was shy around you?" Jackie whispered, her hand sliding down from the wall. "I didn't really know what to do, so... you know, I just did that kinda shit to you."

"That's-"

"Elementary school shit." Jackie finished, her hands on either side of your face, caressing your cheeks. Slowly, she pressed her lips against yours, easing her eyes shut as short, quick breaths out of her nose hit your face. If her last kiss was awkward, with her trying to dominate your mouth, this was soft, shy, and pleasant, of all things. "Was that one better?" Jackie whispered, keeping her face close, her words dancing across your lips.

"Y-Yeah..." You muttered, your heart thudding around in your ears.

"Do you... want to do more than just kiss?"

"Like-"

"N-Not s-s-s-sex. Not yet." Jackie stammered, her cheeks red. "But, like... normal couple things."

"Normal couple things?"

"I dunno... I'll text August and ask for ideas." Jackie mumbled, taking a small step away from you.

"Jackie?" You asked, unable to really "deal" with how different she was acting.

"Yeah?"

"We're a couple then?"

"We kissed, so we gotta be." Jackie muttered, turning her head away from you.

"Then... shouldn't we go on a date or something?" You asked, your mouth moving on its own. Or, maybe, you were actually kind of into this. Sure, Jackie was Jackie, but... if she was gonna act like a normal girl and not... HERSELF, then being her boyfriend wouldn't be too bad.

"N-No." Jackie stammered, shaking her head.

"Wh-"

"You can't be seen with me." Jackie whispered, peeking over her shoulder to look at you. "I'll drag your rep into the toilet with me, I can't do that to you."

"I don't-"

"You're going to college in the Fall, you need scholarships and shit. How many teachers are gonna throw out recommendations and shit when they see you with me?!" Jackie shouted, turning around in a flash to meet your gaze head-on. "Don't... don't let me ruin your life plans. I couldn't-"

"Jackie..." You interrupted, unable to say much else. You couldn't believe what Jackie was saying, to put it bluntly...
