Unstable Kiss

Chapter 4 - First Kiss

"Yes, they are the Black Devil gang," said Sarah enthusiastically.

"You both know, Black Devil?" asked Cheryl to Ebony and Rachel.

Both shook their heads.

"Cheryl, you're not going to change direction, are you?" Rachel asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Mmm... the four of them are really cool, you... won't turn your back on Mike?"

"Not your business," Cheryl said fiercely.

'Of course, it's my business if you're not interested in Mike. Let me be the one to get Mike's heart,' Rachel thought.

"What are you thinking about?" inquired Cheryl, who saw Rachel smiling to herself."

"Nothing; let's go back to class."

***

Arriving in class, Cheryl saw Hannah handing out the examination sheets. When she was about to play pranks on her, she failed because Mike came to help Hannah distribute the papers.

`Shìt,' Cheryl cursed to herself because seeing the questions on the test paper made her dizzy. So far, she can easily do all her schoolwork because she can copy Hannah's work for tests and homework. But because of yesterday's incident, there was no way Hannah would voluntarily give her a cheat sheet. When she wanted to ask Rachel and Ebony, Mr. Adam, who was known to be strict, came to oversee the course of the test.

"Good morning, all?" Mr. Adam came to say hello.

"Morning, sir," answered the students.

"Do it honestly and calmly. I strictly forbid anything related to cheating. Be it copying a friend's work or a book. For those who are caught cheating, I will ask you to repeat the test and do it in the teacher's room facing me. I will also give a letter of reprimand to the Guardians. Understand everything!"

"Understood, sir!"

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" when the students were doing their assignments, they were surprised by a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Mr. Adam stood up as if to welcome an important guest.

Hannah adjusted her glasses after seeing who had entered. "Axel, Nick, Isaac, Noah," Hannah muttered softly.

"Cheryl, they are," Rachel nudged Cheryl's hand, who was busy thinking about her exam sheets.

"What the heck, Rachel," snorted Cheryl.

"Black Devil," Rachel tilted her chin forward.

Cheryl's eyes widened at the four cool boys she saw yesterday.

"Oh yeah, kids. Today there are transfer students who will join us in this class. I hope you can receive them well. Work hand in hand to maintain comfort in the learning process."

"Please state your names, respectively," asked Mr. Adam.

"My name is Axel Miller." Axel's deep voice sounded cold.

"I am Nick Seacrest." Nick smiled briefly.

"Hello, everyone, Isaac Jones here. It's a pleasure to study in this class." As usual, Isaac greeted the class with his sporty spirit.

"Hi, I'm Noah Brown. I hope we can be good friends."

"Starting today, they will study in this class."

"Please sit."

The whispers of students in the class began to be heard. They were guessing who the four boys who had just transferred into their class were. Because suddenly, four students in their class this morning were assigned to another class. The four empty seats were reserved specifically for the four transfer students. They have special privileges, so the school accommodates them in class, transferring four students who previously studied in this class.

"Wow, he is so handsome."

"Those with long hair, really my type."

"Oh, my good …isn't Noah's the rising boy band?"

"That's Isaac, a men's basketball national team member."

"The majority of the excited whispers came from students fascinated by the looks of those with above-average good looks.

"Erm... please calm down and do your assignments. For the four of you, you can do it now. Or, if you need help understanding the test material, you can participate in the follow-up exam next week.

"We're taking a test today," Axel said coldly.

"All right, please do it," replied Mr. Adam.

Cheryl was thinking about the four new transfer students at the school cafeteria. She remembered Rachel's question asking her if she would change course. Upon closer inspection, the four boys were cooler and more handsome than Mike. Even though Mike is difficult to reach, how about the four new students?

"What are you thinking, Cheryl?" asked Ebony while chewing her favorite snack.

"Well, I've been ignored," complained Ebony.

"Girls, look," Sarah pointed at Hannah, sitting alone in the corner of the room.

"Cheryl doesn't seem to be in the mood," Rachel replied.

"What the hell?" Cheryl said curtly.

"Sarah, where are you going?" asked Rachel, who saw her approaching Noah.

"You're Noah, right? Nice to meet you; my name is Sarah Woods, the cutest girl in grade 11." Sarah reached out to meet Noah.

"Your junior has guts, too, Cheryl," said Ebony.

"She is going crazy because just look at handsome boys." Cheryl hissed.

"Oh yeah, you know me." welcome, Noah, friendly. As a boy band is rising, Noah has to be nice to everyone.

"Noah wait," Sarah chased after Noah, who approached Hannah.

"Sorry, Sarah, I'm hungry," said Noah, who took Hannah's snacks and then put them in his mouth.

"I can treat you." bargained. Sarah did not give up.

"Move away," Axel pushed Sarah away from Noah. He sat at the table with Hannah, followed by Nick and Isaac.

"Hey, I…."

"Noisy." Axel glanced sharply at Sarah.

Sarah shuddered at Axel's piercing gaze.

"Isaac, go to order the food," said Axel.

"Okay."

"You, Hannah, right?" asked Axel, looking at her intensely.

"Y-yes," Hannah was nervous and afraid of being stared at by Axel so deeply.

"I invited you to look at me instead of looking down."

"Uh," Hannah blushed.

"Too weak; you deserve to be bullied."

"Axel," called Nick.

"Nick, she is your type." Axel taunted Nick.

"Don't say anything," said Nick.

"Tsk, don't fight anymore. Looks like your type too, Axel." Noah intervened.

Hannah took turns looking at the three boys in front of her.

"Why do you look at me like that? Don't you like sitting at the table with me?" Axel narrowed his eyes.

Hannah was silent.

"Orders are coming," Isaac brought two bowls of meatballs, followed by Mr. Dale, the seller in the canteen, who also got two other meatballs.

"Thank you, sir." Isaac put the bowls in front of his friends.

"Sir, add one more bowl; drink too," said Nick.

"Okay, boy," said Mr. Dale.

"Are you craving?" asked Isaac to Nick.

"At random," Nick pointed at Isaac's head.

"Why did you add another bowl?"

"Here's for you," Nick handed his meatball to Hannah.

Axel, Isaac, and Noah frowned when they saw Nick give his share.

"T-thank you, but I'm already full." Hannah refused.

"Just think of this as a replacement for my friends' snack." Nick still put a bowl of meatballs in front of Hannah.

"Thank you," Hannah smiled faintly.

"Uh, you're really quick to piss off girls, Nick." quipped Axel.

"Tsk," Nick chuckled. "Just say jealous."

Isaac and Noah just shook their heads at the sarcasm between Axel and Nick.

Meanwhile, Sarah returned to Cheryl's desk with a scrunched face.

"Sarah, you embarrass us." Ebony pouted.

"Cheryl, how come they can get close to Hannah?" Sarah asked.

Cheryl shrugged, her heart growing irritated. A geeky girl like Hannah can beat her charms. Mike and the four new transfer students' eyes were troubled.

Hannah eats awkwardly. Being faced with the four cool guys made her appetite a little disturbed. How could it not be? Hannah was embarrassed if her way of eating would look bad in their eyes. After all, Hannah is a girl who can also feel sweet vibes when she's around guys as cool as them.

"Have you had enough to see us?" asked Axel.

"Uh," Hannah blushed.

"Use this," Nick handed the tissue to Hannah.

"Make your drool wipes," said Axel.

"Axel," called Nick.

Axel continued eating without caring about Nick's protests.

"Do you like reading novels?" asked Noah, who saw the novel on the table.

"Yeah, instead of being dazed during a break." Hannah adjusted her glasses.

"You're really cute when you blush like that."

"Hahaha, Noah is crazy; you are cuter than Nick," Isaac laughed when Noah launched his trap charms.

"What the heck, Isaac," Noah threw a tissue at Isaac.

Hannah's lips pulled to the side, seeing Noah and Isaac's behavior.

Hannah's crooked smile didn't escape Axel's gaze. Suddenly he felt as if there was something strange in his heart.

"Excuse me, I'm going to the toilet." excused Hannah.

"Careful, watch out for tripping." joked Isaac.

"Uh, Axel. Where are you going?" asked Noah when he saw Axel stand up from his seat.

"Smoking," replied Axel.

"Cheryl," Rachel called when she saw Hannah going to the toilet.

Without a word, Cheryl got up from her seat and followed Hannah from behind.

Axel, who saw Cheryl following Hannah, then changed his direction. At first, he wanted to call his mother but seeing Cheryl's suspicious behavior and her friends, Axel decided to follow them.

Hannah was washing her hands and cleaning her glasses and exited the toilet. But immediately, Hannah felt anxious because she saw Cheryl and her three friends embracing while looking at her intently.

"Excuse me," said Hannah, who wanted to pass the four of them.

But Cheryl and her friends didn't flinch. They still stood in Hannah's way.

Cheryl walked forward to approach Hannah. She directed her hand to grab Hannah's hair.

But someone's voice startled them.

"Excuse me," Axel passed Sarah and Rachel to help a desperate Hannah.

Cheryl was surprised and then tilted her body to see someone disturbing her.

'A-axel,' thought Cheryl.

Suddenly Axel's body staggered forward as his feet stepped on a puddle. Unfortunately, he bumped into Hannah and fell on the girl's body. Unable to control the situation, Axel's lips accidentally pressed against Hannah's.

"Oh my god, my first kiss.'
