Haley was really and truly impressed. Lucas had been able to go a whole day without annoying her or flirting with her, whether it be in or out of classes. She honestly had thought he wouldn't have been able to do it. Obviously, she'd been wrong. Still, a day without his remarks and that trademark smirk of his was enjoyable. For one, she could actually hear herself think instead of thinking about the things he said to her. But the downside was this. The day did actually feel a bit less...eventful. This was not something that she'd ever admit out loud, but without Lucas's presence the day was a tiny bit more bland. Either way, her Lucas-free day was over and she had to give him his reward. The kiss on the cheek that she'd promised him at his birthday party if he could hold up his end of the deal. She knew he would have liked a real kiss better, but the day she kissed him on the lips was the day the world would end. Seriously.

So, she hung around the common room after classes that day just waiting for him. She'd written a note to him which one of her friends had passed along, so that Lucas would know that he could come get his "prize". The quicker it was over with, the quicker she could tell him to put his attention back on the girls she knew that he really liked. Like Bryn, for instance. It was one kiss on the cheek. Hardly meant anything at all, especially if you got them all the time like Lucas did. Some girls just couldn't help themselves.

Haley decided to read for a bit as she waited for Lucas to show up. Curled up comfortably, she had one of her favorite books open in front of her, those gray blue eyes scanning over the words that had been read time and time again. She was patient, so the waiting wasn't a bother. Besides, something told her that Lucas would be eager to get his reward anyway.

Haley didn't bother trying to get out of his grip because if she did, he'd probably just try and get ahold of her again. Why go through the extra effort? And yes, it did feel sort of nice to not be tempted to smack him. The same sort of feeling as when she'd hugged him at his birthday party. Still, just because she didn't move didn't mean that she missed him...maybe. Lucas might have thought that he was the greatest thing to hit the earth since magic, but his ego made him biased. Very, very biased. "Oh really? Even with all the other girls at Hogwarts that you could be flirting with?" She did this all the time. Tried to get him to turn his attention to other girls who actually wanted, or even craved, that attention. And some of those girls probably had gotten some of his attention today. He had to be doing something other than bothering her, right?

She felt it as he leaned down and brought his face down next to hers. "Yes, you have been a very good boy. I didn't actually think you could handle it, but you did." Haley smiled and chuckled a little bit. "So, if you come around here and sit next to me, you can have your prize, okay?" Her free hand was patting the seat next to her. It'd be easier for her to give him his kiss on the cheek that way.

And it was only a kiss on the cheek. As far as she was concerned, he wasn't ever going to get a real kiss from her. That was, unless he wanted the world to end.
