A New Day

Part 1

It started off as any other day with me sitting in back of class-room, doodling in my notebook, waiting for the next bell to ring. As I look up to see if I'm missing anything important being taught, just within the corner of my eye I notice that Kennedy was staring at me. When she realizes I notice her she immediately turns around , face as red as a tomato in embarrassment. I never though about why she was looking back at me, the only thing i couldn't get off my mind was how cute she looked.

After the last bell rang and I was walking through the halls getting ready to go home when suddenly, Kennedy ran up behind me and softly whispers in my ear " I....I like you " then kisses my cheek. As I turn around in complete shock, and face red from blushing, Kennedy runs off and onto her bus without another word.

I was in complete shock, the girl i have liked since middle school said she liked me, but not only that she kissed me.

Kenned was a pretty 15 year old girl, she had long black hair, and slim figure, but she was very quiet and didn't have many friends unfortunately, so I've kind of felt sorry for her.

The next day Kenned didn't even look at me, she must have been really embarrassed. I decided to confront her so i asked ,"are you okay"? She looked up but quickly turned away and ignored me. " If you can't talk to me in person , at least text me tonight" I wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and left it on her desk.

After school, while riding the bus home my phone vibrated, i was a little scared to look. Kennedy messaged me,

Kennedy: Hi...

Me: Hey, are you okay?

Kennedy: Yeah I'm fine, sorry about yesterday...

Me: Its alright, I like you too :)

Kennedy: Your kidding right?

Me: No , I'm dead serious .

Kennedy: i was just worried you didn't like me back or didn't like it when I kissed you.

Me: I was surprised aha but if you'd like we could kiss again..

Kennedy: Are you saying you want to date?

Me: If you'd like...

Kennedy: I would love to <3, want to hang out after school tomorrow?

Me: Sure

All that was in my mind was is this a dream? Is this real? Am I really dating a girl I've had a crush on for so long? I could not believe what was happening.

So the next day came, and I could not get that girl off my mind.

After school we went to the river which was down mt street a ways, there was an old willow tree hanging over the water with a tire swing attached. We decided to sit there to get away from the late spring heat. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, she was wearing a beautiful, long blue dress and had her hair in a braid. We sat there in an awkward silence, occasionally looking over at each other. Kennedy took a deep breath and stood up,

" will you push me " ?

I stood up in confusion " huh"

she looked down at her feet slightly embarrassed and soft said " w..will you push me on the swing"?

I smiled at her " of course "

her eyes grew wide with excitement, just like a young child. I grabbed her by the waste and lifted her onto the swing and started to push. She had the most beautiful and big smile on her face , it made me so happy.

When she was done I lifted her off the swing and set her onto the ground, I was still holding onto her waste. For a brief moment we looked into each others eyes, I leaned in and our lips met.
