Fall like Dominoes

Cupid's Very Very Extremely Tight Chokehold

"Christina, I've been dying to do this again. Like I'm in love. Your strong personality, your rosy cheeks, brown hair, and beautiful brown eyes. I'd do anything to be yours. I'd date you in a heartbeat."

That made me smile honestly. I was blushing and I turned extremely red. I held his hand, which was sweaty as hell. Sunset was here quickly. The temperature had started to drop some. I looked off into the sunset and Greg was giving me this look. Like he's fixated on something amazing. 

"You are beautiful, Christina Fenly. I want to make you Mrs. Christina Harrison."

I closed my eyes as I felt him getting closer to me. He kissed me. It was the best thing ever. I felt a huge spark. Bigger than any spark I had when I kissed Miles. Like he knew what he was doing I'll admit. We bumped noses quite a few times but I thought it was kinda cute. He pulled from me peering into my eyes still.

"Would you look at that? It's like 10 years ago all over again."

We looked over and saw Helen. She was standing on her porch smiling at us. She came down and gave me a hug and a bottle of wine to give to my mom.

"Give this to your mom when you head home, sweetheart. You're welcome to stay as long as you want."

"I will."

Helen then went back into her house and before I left, Greg kissed me again. I don't know what's going on. Suddenly, the guys are falling like dominoes. I tell you, a change in personality and a little lipgloss can make guys fall for you. I walked home strutting in the moonlight flipping my hair. I feel so alive and so beautiful. Then, it hit me. I just kissed two different guys in the same day. I'm cheating on Miles with Greg. I start running home to tell my mom what had happened. 

When I got home, I was shit out of breath. I realized how out of shape I am. I walked into the kitchen where my mom was on her laptop with Amber's dad and Amber sitting down with her head in her hands. 

"Mom! Mom! Guess what just happened?"

"You got suspended?"

"What? No."

"Don't lie to me."

"Don't lie, Christina. The school has emailed me and your mother. You and my daughter have lied to us and faked going to school. You two got suspended for the worst reason too. Bringing alcohol to school?"

"WHAT! NO WE DIDN'T BRING ALCOHOL TO SCHOOL. That old hag office bitch is lying."

"I knew you were acting funny, Christina. You are on extreme punishment. No laptop, television, no going out, no nothing. I'm also turning your phone off."

"Are you kidding me? Are you really gonna believe this old hag?"

"I belive the lady. She says she caught you, Amber, and miles Lucas all drinking behind the bleachers."
