Almost second kiss

I'm not sure if I'm happy, offended, or angry about it.

I can't deny that I have a connection to Liam. He was my first kiss after all. So the fact that he's completely forgotten about me is kind of hurtful. But at the same time, I liked the fact that everything was completely back to normal. I like school, and when the whole Liam thing was going on for the first two days, I wasn't enjoying it. So I'm glad it's over now.

I think.

Anyway, enough about that. It's Friday evening and I'm getting ready for the game.

I decided to wear a white tank top, jeans jacket, and black leggings, paired with my superstar adidas sneakers.

As for my hair, I put up into a messy bun, pulling out the baby hairs to frame my face.

Lisa is going to be proud of this look. She's always bugging me to dress more trendy.

"Dad, I'm ready to go. " I called as I made my way downstairs.

"Well, don't you look lovely. " Stephen burns, my wonderful dad said as he stepped out of the living room.

I rolled my eyes, "Thanks Dad. "

"You look just like your mother. " He whispered, giving me that happy sad look he sometimes gets.

I smiled, that's the ultimate compliment.

My mom died when I was six years old. She had a brain tumor that was caught top late. It all happened very fast and I don't remember it much. All I know is that my dad loved mom more than anything, and I'm all he has left of her now so he's very protective.

"Who are you going with? " Dad asked when we got into the car.

I'm sure he was making sure I wasn't going with a boy.

"Just Steph and Lisa. Don't worry, boys have cooties. " I reassured my dad.

I guess I have cooties now too.

'That's my girl. You're not allowed to grow up.' He teased.

I smiled and agreed. I don't want to grow up anyway.

Once we arrived at school dad went over the rules, home by 11:00,call if I am going to stay at one of the girls houses, make sure to stay safe.

The usual.

I waved as he drove away, and then made my way to the front doors.

Stephanie and Lisa were already there, waiting for me.

'Are you ready to watch a bunch of boys fight over a ball?' Steph asked when I got them.

I laughed, "As ready as I'll ever be".

We ended up getting pretty bad seats on the bleachers. Note to self,come way earlier than ten minutes before the game.

I was having a great time, cheering when everyone else did, making fun of the cheerleaders that were probably freezing their butts off in those tiny uniforms as they danced with our cougar mused and just spending time with my best friends.

At halftime, I decided to get a drink,so slowly made my own way down the bleachers, careful not to step on anyone, and once I was on the ground, I let out a sigh of relief. I don't exactly enjoy being in such a crowdy place.

I started on my way to a concession stand, deciding to cut in between the bleachers to get there quicker and that's when I saw him.

Liam was sitting with 5 other people, they were all drinking bear and passing around something that smelt like stink, weed I am assuming.

I took a deep breath and walked passed them, thankful when no one said anything to me.

You know that feeling you get when you walk past a group of teenage guys at night, that's the feeling I got walking past them.

I just got behind the bleachers, realizing that the short cut sucks, when suddenly someone pushed me against one of the beans that keep the bleachers up, a hand now on either side of me, caging me in.

Thankfully the person wasn't very rough, or else I could've hit my head pretty hard.

I looked up at the culprit. Liam was looking back at me. His body was just inches away from mine and at this close proximity I realised just how tall he was. He had to angle his head down to meet my eyes.

"What are you doing?" I sluttered, shocked at the situation unfolding

"I like your hair up" He slurred, ignoring what I said as he tucced a loose piece of hair behind my ear.

What is going on?

He pushed his body against mine and I took a sharp breath in. This was the closest I'd ever been to a boy. Even closer than when we kissed.

"What are you doing?" I whispered. I couldn't make my voice strong right now.

I was a combination of scared, nervous and excited.

Do I push him away or let this play out?

"I don't know."he whispered back and started leaning his head down like he was going to kiss me.

I could get the second kiss this way. There's nothing in rules that say the boy has to be sober for the kisses.

I didn't move a muscle as his face got closer and his breath fanned across my cheeks.

I let out a shaky breath of my own and stayed frozen. Was I really going to do this? Do I want to win the game this bad? Is this the right thing to do?
