That morning started like any other. Getting up early, sleeping in until I was almost late for the bus, barely eating, and then out the door I went. Oh, shit, I forgot to introduce myself... Alexander "Alex" Wu. Pleased to meet you. Anyways, I thought that was just a normal day, and it was... up until... probably when I arrived at school? The atmosphere was peaceful, and I could hear the familiar chatter of a hundred voices- friends catching up and arguing and laughing together. I met up with my best friend, Sebastian, at the gates, and we walked towards our classroom together.
Our walks were usually silent and kind of awkward, but it was okay, since if you're good enough friends, you can understand each other without verbal communication. I put my stuff away in my locker, but out of the corner of my eye, I caught Liv passing me to get to her classroom. She stopped, noticing me, and smiled, giving me a small wave. I waved back. This was still the usual. After I was sure she was out of sight, I leaned against my locker, letting out a huge sigh.
Goddamn it... did I come off as too awkward? I always wondered this. Every morning. When you like someone, and I mean really like someone... you overthinking everything they ever see you do. And, unfortunately, that had happened to me. Oof.
The period before recess was uneventful. Nothing noteworthy there. But recess itself? Oh boy.
We'd decided, out of all things, to play spin the bottle outside- Me, Ethan, Sean, Tristan, Logan, Joya, Diya, Vikki, Amy, and, of course, Liv. I probably should have been slightly concerned, considering how the number of girls outnumber the boys by quite a bit, but I was too distracted to notice anything wrong. When we played spin the bottle, we usually said a prompt, spun the bottle, and whoever it landed on had to perform the action named in the prompt.
Today, however... Diya and Vikki decided we would be playing normally.
That was really unfortunate. Especially considering that they didn't tell anyone else.
So we all sat in our usual position (a circle on the ground), and Diya spun the first time. Liv. Okay. I guess that was alright. But she didn't say a prompt... I guess it was in her head? And, also, she hadn't started maniacally screaming yet...
Then she spun again. I guess this prompt required two people. The bottle got caught on the grass, the momentum slowing down significantly, and I looked away for a moment. Could you blame me? I was kind of bored. Then, Tristan tackled me.
"Ow?!- What the fuck?"
"It landed on you, idiot. Why weren't you looking?"
I looked back to the center of the circle. Indeed it did. Shit. What were we gonna have to do?
Diya squealed, poking her girlfriends violently.
"Omigod omigod omigod!!! Do you know what this means??"
I sighed, staring tiredly at her.
"Just say what the prompt was already..."
She giggled. Bad sign.
"You and Liv have to kiss."
Across from me, Liv quickly looked up (she was knotting a piece of grass she'd picked) and gave Diya a confused expression. Diya smiled at her.
"We have to...?"
"Uh huh."
I shook my head.
"Diya... what the fuck?"
"Whoa, hey, watch the language!"
"Why didn't you tell us what the prompt was?"
"It... was meant to be a surprise?"
She laughed guiltily, averting her gaze. Clearing her throat, she pushed Liv over to me.
"Ahem, anyways... get to it, you two!~"
Liv blushed, not looking me in the eye.
"I... Sorry..."
I inhaled sharply. Goddamn it, Diya. Why did you have to do this to me? I looked at Liv, noticing that a strand of her was getting in her face. I... just got a really bad idea.
I tucked that strand behind her ear, and she looked at me, finally.
"I guess I should get this over with.." I muttered under my breath.
"Huh?-"
I cut her off by giving her a quick peck on the lips, then turning my head away so I couldn't see her expression. Shit... bad play, wasn't it?
Diya started screaming and shaking Liv and everyone started freaking out. In the commotion, I found the perfect opportunity to slip away.
I went to a lonely corner, sat down, and covered my mouth.
I cannot believe I just did that.
I kinda liked it.
Not how I pictured it, but...
Still works.
