"You've never kissed someone?' The brown-haired boy raised his eyebrows, leaning back on his arms, his every flawless quality curling into his signature lopsided smirk.

The girl stared down at her fingers, which were tinkering with the friendship bracelet on her wrist, and shook her head, trying to will her face to be rid of the involuntary blush that the attractive boy across from her caused without even trying.

"Hold on..." He set his chestnut brown eyes on her frame as he addressed her. "You're fifteen...and haven't had your first kiss? I mean, not even a small peck or anything?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAk5cHeBxNlk
"No, ok?" She lifted her eyes to meet his, inwardly trying to ward off the growing embarrassment of the exchange. "I don't get why it's such a big deal..."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAD8KpiABycZ
"It's not...I was just surprised..."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwOuSQxRuji
"How is that surprising?" She scoffed, selecting a dandelion from the bed of grass beneath her and plucking off the golden petals.

"It's just...you're..." The boy ran a hand through his hair, acting unusually flustered. "I just would have thought someone would have kissed you by now...anyway, what's the holdup? Do you have a thing against dating or something?"

"No..." The girl found herself stuck on her words as if the awkwardness the boy depicted and distinctly handled just a moment before had somehow descended onto her. "I just...don't know how to kiss someone. I don't want to go out on a limb and try to kiss someone and end up screwing up my own first kiss."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfbF5cFijp7
There was an uncomfortable hesitation, where both the minds of the girl and the boy were caught in a space of indecision.

"I could show you," the boy spoke up, voice giving way to a slightly timid side of him that was never publicly shown. "I mean if you want...I don't want to be weird or awkward or anything..."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsh4kPAwvyS
"Ok," she gave a shy smile, her heart fluttering in her chest as he scooted closer, shrugging off his letterman jacket and lifting his eyes to meet her gaze.
196Please respect copyright.PENANApzaIS1h87y
"Alright...you're gonna need to get closer," he gave a nervous laugh, watching as she sat up on her knees, directly in front of her. "Basically...the girl normally has her arms around the boy's neck, and the guy either is holding her face like this..."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsSRUTXckGR
He cupped her face in his hands, his skin warm against her already flushed face and maintained that position for barely a second before letting go.

"...Or by the waist. And it doesn't really matter who leans in first...I don't really know how to describe what happens after that...I mean, you just lean in and press your lips against theirs and..."

He was rambling, and frankly, she was feeling a little bold, so she leaned in and for the briefest second, shut him up, her lips skimming softly against his, before she dragged back, heart in her throat and thoughts going haywire.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwpnnWZUI77
"Like that?" She asked quietly, watching as the boy regained his words, eyes wide with surprise.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAuJtWMwgsBM
"Yeah," he gave her a slight grin. "Not bad for your first kiss, princess."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJV62TXtGvt
She rolled her eyes, a tiny smile tugging at her lips.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwcBBcimjwR
"Thanks, I guess,"
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6A9kFiTRkN
"You're welcome, I guess," he teased before tilting forward to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, scattering goosebumps down her neck with the simple touch of his finger. "Anyway, what are you doing Friday?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAkycBuEWjlG
"Nothing...why?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAG7FYyiChUf
"Because I want to take you out to dinner or something," he answered. "I mean if you don't have plans."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsK6SpjpgHj
"I'd like that," she gave him smile, watching as he stood, brushing the grass from his pants and slinging his bag over his shoulder.
196Please respect copyright.PENANASyrtC8GJx3
"Well, in that case...meet me here at five?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAzsjOBuwD8N
"Sure,"
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9oUkLcwPVM
"Then it's a date," he shot her a wink before leaving her to take in the actuality that not only did she kiss the boy she'd liked for four years, but also landed a date with him as well.
