Totally Unexpected

Seventeen

Katrina's P.O.V

I don't know what's happening. When I got up this morning there was a lot of tension in the air. Something must have happened between Daisy and Chris. Something I don't know about. Maybe it's because he's jealous of Paul. But that's no reason for Daisy to dislike him.

As for PJ and I, I had no idea that he fancied me? I'm so blind. He kissed Daisy. My mind's messed up right now.

 "We...uh..." I look down at my breakfast. I'm not hungry anymore. "I'm not leaving. I just...need to..."

I look at Phil. I needed to go somewhere where I can make head and tail of this.

 "I need some air."

I stand and give him a small smile, and then I look to Dan. I shoot them a "Perhaps you should leave these two alone" look.

 "And Daisy...Chris likes you. He thought you liked him and then Paul happened. Please just...make up. Choose a guy? I don't know..."

I begin to walk toward the front door.

 "What about Matt?"

I shake my head, me and Matt Smith? "Smillan forever!"

And with that I kick on my shoes and head out. Hopefully when I get back everything will have sorted itself out. Daisy, Paul and Chris will been in a polygamous relationship and Dan and Phil will be adopting a child. Or a kitten. Man, I love kittens...

I walk past another jogger and a group of Starbucks drinking hipsters, watching a bird. Another jogger goes past but this one has music blasting from their earphones and a dog running beside them.

I've realised that there's not much point in all of this as we'll all go our separate ways once we're back in England. Maybe Paul will text Daisy and she'll continuing watching these guys' videos, we'll all get on with our lives and live happily ever after.

I spot a familiar looking person sat on a bench looking in the opposite direction from me. I go to sit next to them. It's an awkward silence.

I poke them with my foot and they turn around.

 "Kick the PJ," I say, a small smile tugging at my lips.

PJ smiles in return.

 "Sorry about this morning." He says.

 "It wasn't your fault. If I'm honest, I'm not really sure how it all happened."

 "Same. If it all could have have been left alone..."

 "I'm sorry about not knowing," I tell him.

 "Why?"

 "I don't know. I'm very clueless about these sorts of things. If I had noticed..."

 "Go on?"

 "I don't know...if I had noticed then...I would have noticed." I shrug, I don't know what I'm even saying. "I thought you liked Daisy...I mean, you did kiss her."

 "Yeah..I...oh I don't know!" He puts his face in his hands. He laughs gently.

I smile at him. I start thinking about Matt and how he kissed my cheek. It meant nothing, I'm sure. I didn't have a crush on the guy. I'm just glad I'm not in Daisy's shoes.

PJ is looking at me now. A blush rises to my cheeks. Why am I blushing? Oh, that's a stupid question. Oh...

PJ leans down and I feel my eyes flutter shut, his lips graze across mine and we're kissing.

No one told me how nice this is.

We pull away at the same time.

He's about to say something when my phone buzzes in my pocket. I take it out, it's from Daisy.

I'll tell her about this at some point. But not now. I should be making my way back...
