Shakira's POV

And here is Single Awareness Day. I wake up feeling shitty. I pull myself out of bed and do everything I normally do.

A migraine decides to joy me with it's presence today. See my sarcasm?

The school day is cold and boring and a bunch of people still come up to me asking if I'm okay. And I get more Valentines cards than usual, a lot saying 'hope you get better soon.'

I walk to my locker to grab stuff for the next two periods. I find a piece of paper.

Dear Shakira,

Meet me at the back entrance of the school after school.

~ Luminescent

I blink. I might as well.

Next two periods are boring and slow. Finally the last bell rings.

I walk to my locker, grab my homework and Valentine cards and head to the back entrance.

I see plenty of couples making out in the hallway. I fake gag as I pass each of them.

I push the doors open and Luminescent is leaning against a wall there.

"What'd'ya want?" I ask.

"Harsh enough tone? I just wanted to ask if you had a good Valentines day." Luminescent says.

"You mean Single Awareness Day?" I ask.

"You don't have a boyfriend?" Luminescent asks.

"No." I reply.

"Woah, there's a lot of boys missing out." Luminescent says.

I laugh. "I'm going to be single for life Luminescent, no one likes me."

"Oh really?"

"Really."

I realize then how close we are. He had taken a few steps closer. Our noses are only a few inches apart.

"Then you must not know that you're a beautiful and talented girl. You have an amazing personality and you have cute habits. You're so amazing. Even blind people would be able to see that." Luminescent says, finishing a little speech.

I look into his eyes. Their colour not clear because of his mask.

We both lean in before suddenly we're kissing. My eyes automatically close. The plastic from the nose on his mask brushing my skin and my nose on his bare cheek. His lips are warm and they send a tingly feeling throughout me. His tongue slides into my mouth and I let him take control of the kiss. Although, I do tangle my hands in his hair and Luminescents hands stay on my face.

Soon he pulls away. I keep my eyes closed as I breathe a little heavier than normal.

Luminescents hands don't leave my face and mine don't leave from around his neck.

I slowly open my eyes to see Luminescent staring back at me. We let go of each other and he gives a small smile before flying away.

I walk to my car and shake my head...

What will Jen say when I tell her?

Jen skips into the car and smiles.

"How was your day?" Jen asks happily.

"Interesting." I reply as I pull out of the parking lot.

"What do you mean?" Jen asks.

"Luminescent may or may not have kissed me."

"Tell me everything."

"I had a note in my locker to meet him at the back entrance of the school at the end of the day. He asked me how my day went and then he gave a small speech about how amazing I am and then we kissed."

"That's so cute!"

I pull up to her house and get out with her. We head up to her room and I start working my magic on her.

I do up her hair and her makeup. I put her in a nice dress and finally decide she's ready.

"Wow. I look amazing! Shay, if you don't become a soccer player, become some celebrities designer! I mean, not only can you make clothes but you can match them! And make the perfect hairstyles and makeup looks! Just... Ugh! You're amazing!" Jen exclaims.

I laugh. "Thanks. Now go on your date with Calvin! I'll drive you to our house and Calvin will take you from there."

"Do you know where Calvin's taking me?"

"I'm not allowed to tell you." I giggle. Calvin is taking her to a super fancy restaurant. My dad is quite wealthy and gives plenty of spending money to Clavin and I.

"Meaner."

I drive to my house and get out of the car.

I open the front door and invite Jen in.

"Calvin get your ass down here and take your girlfriend out." I call upstairs.

Calvin comes bounding down and glances at Jen, his mouth falling open.

"Jenny you look... Gorgeous." Calvin says. He's wearing a suit and looks presentable.

I nod in approval. I can tell Jen is having a tough time at saying something.

"Jennifer." I say in a tone to snap her out of her trance like state.

"Thanks Calvin." Jen smiles.

"Now get going on your date!" I exclaim, pushing them out the door.

Dad being at work gives me the whole house to myself. Naturally, I blast some music, put on some sweat pants and a tank top, put my hair in a bun and grab a hair brush.

I run around the house eating pretzels and potato chips and sing as though I'm in a music video, using the hair brush as my microphone.

This is how I spend my Valentines Day.

Alone.

My fifth song ends and a slow clap comes from the stairs. I whip my head over and my eyes widen at the sight of Luminescent.

"How'd you get in?" I ask, feeling a blush creep onto my face.

"Calvin's window." Luminescent replies.

"You could have just knocked." I mutter.

"And miss your amazing singing and dancing?"

I laugh.

"Wanna watch a movie with me?" I ask.

"What'd you have in mind?"

We settle for watching Transformers.

"So, just a question, if I guess your secret identity right, will you tell me?" I ask.

"What's the sudden interest in my secret identity?"

I snort. "I've always wanted to know... Well, sort of."

Luminescent laughs. "No, I won't tell you."

"At least tell me about yourself." I say.

"Hmm... Well, I have two younger sisters. My parents are split up so we usually go between the two of them. They literally live two streets apart, so we can just go to the others house whenever. Usually we stay at my moms for the week and go to my dad's during the weekend. But they're constantly fighting." Luminescent sighs.

"That's frustrating." I sigh.

"How 'bout you? Your mom didn't show up when you were in the hospital."

"My mom passed away."

"Oh. May I ask how?"

"She had lung cancer and she was too weak to get a transplant."

"I wish cancer would get cancer and die."

I laugh despite the serious moment. Just the way he said it makes me laugh.

"Can we be cheesy and play twenty questions?" I ask.

"Question one, what's your favourite colour?"

"Blue. Question one, what's your favourite food?"

"Ribs. Question two, who's your favourite singer?"

And we go on like that until we've both reached twenty questions. Only stoping to slide in a new movie.

"I can't believe we actually went to twenty questions and didn't get bored of each other." Luminescent laughs.

"What? Am I really that boring?" I ask.

"No. You're really interesting."

"You too."

Before I know what's happening we are kissing. My second kiss today, woah. It's like the first, except my lips feel like their on fire. When we pull away I lay against Luminescent comfortably, slowly falling asleep while watching the movie.
