HOPELESSLY DEVOTED
an outer banks story

CHAPTER ELEVEN: X'S AND O'S
Campbell's first kiss was John B Routledge.
There was no easy way to say it, and she hadn't spoken of it since the day it'd happened, except when she'd finally broken down and told Kiara. And she was sure as hell never telling JJ.
The pogues were in eighth grade when JJ kissed a girl on the bus, becoming the first one of them to kiss someone, or have any sort of romantic interaction at all. Campbell cried herself to sleep that night, heartbroken that JJ hadn't wanted her to be his first kiss, when she'd kind of always assumed that he would be hers.
The next day, she and John B were hanging out at the Chateau, waiting for the others to come over to work on a school project, when Campbell lamented to John B that she hadn't had her first kiss yet.
"And JJ just keeps rubbing it in our faces," she groaned, frowning down at her school book. "I don't see what the big deal is anyway."
John B watched her silently, and as she looked up at him, he cleared his throat and said, "I'll be your first kiss, C."
