THE GIRL

I GUESS my gut lied to me, nothing was wrong with the boy, except that he seemed quite lost.

I hurried my fastest back to my brother, I just hoped he wouldn't think anything of it. Shoot, he was probably too busy laughing and drooling over the girls in the movie. What more could I expect?

I saw Steve sitting there with a straight face as he stared at the movie screen, Soda was laughing along with Two-Bit as they kept looking back at the movie screen whenever a girl in a bikini popped up onto the screen.

I sat next to Steve, who was leaning back into his chair. I smiled at him, I couldn't lie, I used to have the biggest crush on him when I was ten or twelve.

"What's happened in the movie so far?" I asked him.
"Not much, it's stupid if you ask me." He shrugged back, leaning farther to the point the chair feel backwards, taking him with it.

Everyone looked at him and started laughing, I couldn't help but laugh as well, it's not everyday you see cocky Steve fall over like an idiot.

"I guess that sucks for you Stevie." I winked at him, he looked up at me with angry eyes.
"I don't think you wanna talk to me like that darling." He smirked at me and sat up, I felt butterflies form into my stomach.

"Yeah yeah." I playfully hit his arm, but he looked at me with an expression I've never seen him wear before. "Steve..." I lost myself into his eyes, I felt myself leaning in, and him doing the same thing.

Our lips crashed together, I've never kissed anyone before, and this felt pure... and new.
I heard Two-Bit whistle and Soda laugh.
I didn't care, the only thing I was concentrated on was Steve and Steve only.

I smiled into the kiss, whatever the feeling, I loved it.

THE BOY

I couldn't stop thinking about her, her eyes and her smile and her voice. She was like a goddess sent to save me, and I would protect her.

I caught myself smiling, why am I smiling? She probably already had forgotten about me anyways, but I smiled anyways. The experience made me smile.

I caught myself daydreaming about her, I don't know what's gotten into me...I'm not usually like this.

That night, I fell asleep smiling.

I haven't smiled in the longest time.

THE GIRL
~

I couldn't stop thinking about Steve and the kiss. The only thing that raced through my head was Steve Steve Steve Johnny.

The kid I met today, the one I had assumed was in need of help, but I guess he wasn't, he was just sitting there.

I caught myself thinking about him every so often while I thought of Steve. I just hope he's okay now.

Who am I kidding, he's not my boyfriend or anything like that. I had only talked to him for five minutes at most.

But it felt like I've known him my whole life.

Steve ran through my mind again, his complicated swirls and his big nose, I couldn't help but laugh a little.

Soda opened my bedroom door, a worried look on his face.
"What's up?" I sat up to look at him while he sat at the edge of my bed.
"You and Steve are a thing?"
"I don't know." I said truthfully, it was complicated. I didn't even know what we were anymore.
"I don't know how I feel about you two..." his voice trailed off when he saw the hurt expression on my face. Soda had known I've always loved Steve for the longest time. And now he's saying no?

"What's wrong with Steve? You know he wouldn't hurt me!" I exclaimed while tears threatened my eyes.
"Nothing, I just don't know what to feel about you dating now."
I groaned and he looked at me. "You've been dating since you were ten and I can't even date at sixteen?"

"I'm sorry." He said sadly. "I shouldn't have said anything." He looked away and started to walk towards the door.

"It's okay." I smiled at him, he turned around to look at me. "Maybe I should stop being so dramatic."

"You and me both." Soda smiled at me and shut the door quietly.
