Kisses are ways that two people express their love in wordless, passionate exchanges. They always find their way into the most extreme of moments and in general routines, practiced over and over again. In the rain, at the beach, a breakup, a makeup, on the swings, at clubs. Really anywhere, this concept is shared all over the world.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwNQJg8ARM

Harley was told stories as a child, about this 'magical' act. She saw her parents perform it briefly before they left each other in the mornings, as well as on other various occasions. It was seemingly drilled into her head; that kisses were beautiful, the highest point one could reach on their journey to the soul.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJCfyNK2hP
However, when her parents divorced in her 8th grade, she subconsciously became repulsed at it. The idea of a kiss seemed like such a commitment, one too large for someone like her to process. Kids at school soon began to age too quickly, pashing in the corners of the library, in the canteen, and out the front of Mr. Salton's classroom.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK792uP9Ax

Harley avoided that classroom now, forever and always.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp3mlJO8sh
It was until her best friend, Phillip, slowly introduced her to the idea. He changed her mind, and as he did, her soul too.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr0QHzErCV
"I don't understand. Mr Salton? He's so—"copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡguFSNYJ2uZ
"Blind," Harley uttered in a mock-sarcastic tone. "And probably deaf too."copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡsppvLLezTG
Phillip arched an pierced, dark brow. "What's wrong with you?" His lips were still, and his face, pale.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡR78SYPrCh3
"What do you mean?" The high school girl pulled on a collection of stray hairs on her forehead.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcokAKZEB

"You're kinda moody..." Phillip slowly said, mildly afraid of his friend's reaction. "You don't even really care about this kinda stuff."copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P6zlSkzre
The girl plopped down onto the ground, her fierce and stubborn aura followed accordingly. "Well maybe I do!" Came her snappy response.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjlobkeDWv
Phillip rolled his eyes, like a washing machine on a constant cycle. "Ugh, jeez Harley. PDA isn't always that bad. If the occasion suits..." He sat down too, arms folded crossly at his side.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv3eJuAVEX
"I think its gross."copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNNJn9CHI4
"I think its romantic."copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZnhnyCBby
Harley's blue eyes narrowed to tiny slits, her face consumed with irritability. "What, like 'Twilight'?"copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S4a7NEHJi
"Of course not!" The boy cried quietly, his cheeks burning red. "There are way too many sparkly vampires and shirtless wolves for my liking. More like, 'Titanic'." His hair then conveniently fell over his face to hide his eyes.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm6t6tCIbk
She laughed. "Oh, right. So am I Rose?"copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7jaoHI0jU
Phillip looked away, drawing attention to his brown freckles that circled the tops of his cheekbones. "If you want..."copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqNEAUreBb
Harley stopped laughing. She gulped, and paled with uncertainty. "So, who are you?"copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhxDKD7mmi
Her friend faced her once again, this time, his gaze drawn to her lips. "I dunno. That Leo guy, I guess..." The two of them froze. Neither daring to make any move at first.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9p1jOJ2O2
Phillip closed in, his hand gently falling behind Harley's body, pushing in on the ground. Harley stayed her place; refusing to budge. Phillip leaned in more, and placed a small kiss on her lips.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡWosK23Euig
For a brief moment, Harley didn't quite register the kiss. She still didn't move, she just stayed there, allowing Phillip to pull away. It was softer than what she had imagined.copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPxcthQAEd
It wasn't as horrid as her paranoia had implied. She didn't like; but she wasn't repulsed either. It was just a kiss. An expression of love.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX7KNR1VrT

"Still disagree with PDA," she whispered grouchily. Phillip nodded absentmindedly, "so you say..."copyright protection115ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EjBomF3QX
