You And Me

thirty-four.

I immediately wrote this when I got home, Parker. Today may be one of the most memorable days of my high school life.

Maybe I should start from the beginning, to enlighten you.

It was right after all the excitement died down, Friday morning, and the talent show we had practiced so hard for was finished. We had just eaten lunch and, as usual, I hung around with Jack right after that.

We were all doing our own thing - it was a free period, after all - and things would not have been so interesting had Bryan not intervened.

But he did, Parker. He did intervene.

He joined Jack and I, with a few others trailing behind him - namely, Mon and Jose, and decided to start a game of Truth or Dare.

But I guess it should've been called Dare-or-Dare, because Bryan wouldn't take Truth for an answer. But anyway...

I was dared to kiss Jack on the cheek, and I did, but unfortunately I had to do it twice, since Bryan wasn't looking when I kissed him the first time. I was never one to back down from most dares, anyway.

Suddenly, we found ourselves huddled in a circle, Bryan in the lead center, followed by Mon, Carlos, you, me, Alexa, Jose, and Brendan. Our knees were touching, and I was fiddling with your fingers, utterly fascinated with them.

We played on for a few rounds until some of the others came back up, and the game came to a halt (sadly). But apparently, a few rounds of Dare-or-Dare wasn't enough for Jack.

He dared me to kiss you on the lips, Parker. And I declined.

Because, like you once said, if I kissed you there, I might not let you go.

Jack didn't seem pleased with my rejection to his dare, so he tweaked it a bit. Now I was dared to kiss you on the cheek. So all I had to do now was to wait for the perfect timing.

And the perfect timing came. You came slamming into the wall because of a forceful push, and I quickly leaned in and planted a light kiss on your cheek while no one was looking.

Unfortunately, Jack decided to be a blind ass and didn't see what I had done. So I had to kiss you again.

And I did, I think. I kissed you on the cheek. And Jac seemed entirely pleased.

I thought girlfriends were the only people who pushed you into doing things with the person you like. I never thought guys do it, too.

But like I said, this would be one of the most memorable days of my life.

I kissed you, Parker. Kissed you.

I freaking kissed you, and I can't believe I want to do it again.
