It All Started When the Lights Went Out (Discontinued)

Chapter 3

I quickly backed away. "Um, no."

"Pleeassee," he said. "It'll be so funny."

"You don't understand how embarrassing my embarrassing moments have been. Trust me, they're cringe worthy."

"It can't be as bad as mine."

I rolled my eyes. "I highly doubt that."

"If you agree then I'll prove you wrong."

I bit my lip.

This damn guy...

"Okay..." I whispered.

"Great," he whispered, his warm breathe once again fanning across my neck. It sent tingles down my spine. In a split second he leaned away from me and I saw his dark figure rest himself against the door. "Don't laugh until I'm done, okay?"

"Um, sure."

He sighed. "So when I was in the eighth grade I had this massive crush on this girl named Viviana in my math class. She was one of those really popular girls and I was one of those really lame guys who could never get her attention. I still remember when I saw her the first day of school, her beauty took my breath away. Literally. I stared at her without breathing for a long time, I almost passed out." I chuckled. "And from then on, I promised myself that I would kiss her before summer."

"Well, this can't be good," I said.

"Oh, it was very far from good. There was an end of the year party after the last day of school at Viviana's friend's house, and she invited the whole grade. And I was ecstatic at the thought that I may get my chance to kiss the girl I've been yearning for the last nine months."

"Aw that's cute," I said.

"I guess. Anyway, the day comes and I try to grow the balls to talk to her but of course, I failed because almost every guy wanted to talk to her. So I was that lame guy who stayed by the snack table."

"Wow relatable," I said.

"So anyway, Viviana's friend Madison, who was also friends with me, told me that I should really talk to her because she liked me too. I almost fainted at that. I thought it was impossible for a girl like her to like a guy like me."

His words were so depressing to hear. Out of all the guys I've known, I didn't think it'd be him to feel this way. He's all confident now, but back then he seemed like the most shy and awkward kid. I feel bad for younger him.

"So Madison decided for everyone to play Seven Minutes in Heaven."

I laughed. "You just can't seem to escape that game."

He laughed. "I know, right? So Madison chose me and Viviana. And at that point I really felt like vomiting. My heart was racing and I felt faint. Once we were in the closet, we just kind of sat there awkwardly. We spoke a few words to each other and that was pretty much it. I wanted to groaned at the thought that nothing is probably going to happen. That was until Viviana said that she liked me and that she knew I liked her, and that I should do something about it. So I slowly leaned in towards her, and then she grabbed my neck and started to kiss me. At first, I was ecstatic. I mean, the girl of my dreams was kissing me! But then, I don't know, I started to feel sick. Literally. I felt like vomiting. So right in the middle of our kiss, I broke away and puked right next to her. Safe to say she didn't like me after that. Thankfully I moved during that summer, so no one could make my life hell in high school."

My mouth dropped. "Oh my God."

"Beat that," he said.

I laughed. "Please, as bad as that was, mine is way worse."
