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.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p9UuB4Wfd

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 protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOeUrD0nNi
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.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaztoliVQf

Harley avoided that classroom now, forever and always.copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBjzCD8WJQ
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 protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9FD46g5u3
"I don't understand. Mr Salton? He's so—"copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJHnYmzrXt
"Blind," Harley uttered in a mock-sarcastic tone. "And probably deaf too."copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu443HIbEs
Phillip arched an pierced, dark brow. "What's wrong with you?" His lips were still, and his face, pale.copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22CHFGNVLh
"What do you mean?" The high school girl pulled on a collection of stray hairs on her forehead.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfDf5dcWNO

"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 protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcvEhzm0L0
The girl plopped down onto the ground, her fierce and stubborn aura followed accordingly. "Well maybe I do!" Came her snappy response.copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN24uIKiEw
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 protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡADGCkeDol5
"I think its gross."copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVhVAzvWzg
"I think its romantic."copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡW13Z5yIQQm
Harley's blue eyes narrowed to tiny slits, her face consumed with irritability. "What, like 'Twilight'?"copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrZ33khHIC
"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 protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8y448Dz4c
She laughed. "Oh, right. So am I Rose?"copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1eT1jsJ9j
Phillip looked away, drawing attention to his brown freckles that circled the tops of his cheekbones. "If you want..."copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xK5AOqSv9
Harley stopped laughing. She gulped, and paled with uncertainty. "So, who are you?"copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhh3mmbZVg
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 protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLiqFjJ73T
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 protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8qbe10ETw
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 protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoN5sarE9n
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.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTeQNIrRFH

"Still disagree with PDA," she whispered grouchily. Phillip nodded absentmindedly, "so you say..."copyright protection206ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoJPzXQABK
