B- ummm no clue
J- we could go to the park or something
B- too crowded
J- you really don't like going out huh
B- no not really
J- what about the movies
B- nothing good to see
J- okay i give up
B- let's just go to my house
J- really?
B- yea why not i mean my parents aren't home so we can do whatever
J- okay then
*they get to Betty's house*
J- so what should we do
B- ummm we could bake?
J- I've never baked
B- what?
J- I've never baked in my entire life
B- looks like today that's going to change
J- were going to bake
B- more like I'm going to teach you how to bake
J- you're not gonna be bossy are you?
B- maybe or maybe not
J- okay what are we gonna bake?
B- cookies?
J- I'm down so what do we do first
B- well first you better wash your hands since i don't know where they've been
J- *laughs softly* seriously
B- yes seriously
J- fine
B- good
J- okay hands are washed and dried
B- okay now we can start
James Pov
Betty is VERY bossy i mean who knew someone who keeps to herself could be bossy but i think that just made me like her even more she's so sweet and amazing and the complete opposite of Augustine. I mean Augustine is popular she's a party type of girl while Betty is more of a "rather stay home" type of girl and i really like that about her and if Augustine doesn't want to be with me then I'm done waiting for her
End of Pov
*as they were making the cookie dough into little balls someone walks into the house*
J- did you hear that?
B- crap..

BM- so when did this happen
B- MOM

J- all you've taught me is that you're super bossy

James Pov
wow.. i couldn't believe it Betty kissed me and it was amazing it was short but sweet it was like romantic i never knew that a kiss would make me feel like i was the luckiest guy ever as i drove home i couldn't keep the smile off my face i think I'm slowly falling in love with Betty
End of Pov

Betty's Pov
omg i kissed James. I KISSED JAMES OMG. what was i thinking?!?!? He probably thinks I'm weird now! But that kiss was good I'm not even going to lie i could get used to it but he also still likes Augustine and i don't want to get hurt so I'm going to try to keep some sort of distance especially if Augustine likes him
End of Pov

*skipping to when James gets home*
J- Taylor
T- yea?
J- you busy
T- no what's up
J- can i tell you something
T- sure
J- me and Betty kissed...
T- WHAT
J- we kissed it was short but it was amazing
T- who kissed who
J- she kissed me
T- omg
J- well i mean the only reason it even happened was cause we were at her place making cookies and we talked and things got weird since i told her i liked her then i asked her if i could kiss her and she said yes but-
T- BUT WHAT
J- jeez lower the voice level please anyways the timer for the cookies kinda got in the way and when I was leaving she walked me out and then we kissed
