Me or Her

JOSH;

So here I was, sitting next to Annabelle. Even though I was close to her, I wanted to be even closer and hold her...to kiss her anytime. But, was that ever going to happen?

''Okay, Annabelle...Josh.'' Ivy said, smiling. ''True or dare." Anna and I looked at each other before turning back to Ivy and said.

''Dare.''

''Good.'' Ivy said. She was smiling. ''I dare you guys to kiss for a full minute.'' I felt blood drained from my face and knew that I'd gone pale.

''What?'' Anna and I looked at each other and back at Ivy. ''What?'' We again repeated.

''And with so much love and passion.'' Ivy added. I really loved Anna, but I had to pretend I loved Erika. Last time I had kissed her first, she had slapped me and told me to never kiss her again. By then, she was still dating Alec, I was terribly jealous, and now I was dating Erika just to make her jealous. I didn't even like Erika. I mean she was mean, gossipped too much, and thought she was better than everyone. She was just not my type of girl.

Anna was just different, she was just exactly my type of girl; Anna was smart, shy, really shy around new people but when she knew them, she would be talkative, bavarde, funny. She didn't like being the center of attention, she was fun to be around, sensitive, really sensitive, she could cry over nothing, like one day she could not find her glasses, so she just cried. She was really sassy and could be an outspoken person.

I just loved everything about her, she was just so perfect to me, except for one thing, she didn't like or love me back as a boyfriend, She did kiss me in the basement at my house, but she had broken away and had said the words: ''I...I'm sorry, I can't.'' And had left me heart-broken.

I saw Romana coming toward her, she whispered something I could not hear, I watched them. Annabelle looked at her and then looked at me.

''Remember, show enough love and passion.'' Ivy reminded us. Anna looked at her. ''And if you guys want, pretend we're not here.''

Me and Anna again looked at each other, I took a deep breath and let our lips met. I pretended that Anna and I were the only people in the room, that there wasn't an audience watching, or worse, someone who was taking a video and would put it on the internet so that the whole world could watch it.

Anna pressed her lips deeper against mine, I was shocked, but of course, she was only doing this because of a dare. I kissed her back and I could tell that she was shocked. Instantly, the kiss went hungrier and deeper just like the time when we were kissing in the basement.

I wanted to put my hands around her, to never let her go, to never stop kissing her, but that would have just being a little bit too much, even if that was what the dare was about. Our tongues met in the kiss, hers tasted like my favorite gum. 'Did we just french kissed....seems like it.' We kissed for another two seconds and broke away. Our eyes met, we held our gaze for two moments before looking at the others. They all had amusing looks on their faces, even Romana, it was like they had planned everything. But, I didn't care, I felt like I could do anything.

''Okay, you two love kissers, I have to go home.'' Spencer said.

''Me too.'' Ivy said, ''I have curfew.'' They all left except for Romana who stayed. She looked at us smilingly. I glanced at Anna, she had a suspicious look on her face.

''Romana, is that video going to be on the internet?'' Anna asked.

''Yes.'' Romana said. ''And also, I have a sort of project of what teenagers could do for fun, so yeah...that video is going to be seeing by an entire class on Tuesday.
