Kelly's pov:

Braden and I have been together for over a year now. It's been the best year of my life.

It's the end of December, 2 days away from New Year's.

We're currently taking a long walk through the town just to talk.

"So what are you doing for New Year's?" He asks me.

"I don't know. I thought we'd hang out together. Kiss at midnight and all." I say, squeezing his hand tighter.

"I was hoping you'd say that." He stops in his tracks and picks me up.

I wrap my legs around his torso and my arms around his neck. We kiss and it tastes so sweet.

I pull away when a boy I don't know yells at us.

"Yo! Could you guys stop sucking face? My little brother's here!"

I jump off of Braden and turn to the boy. Braden takes my hand and pushes me slightly behind him as a way to protect me if something bad is to happen.

"Who are you?" B yells to the boy standing across the street.

"I'm Kevin! I just moved here." He walks toward us and Braden loosens his grip on my hand as a way to tell me that it's okay.

"Nice to meet you Kevin." I say, giving him a little wave.

"So who are you two?"

"I'm Braden, and this is my girlfriend, Kelly."

"I figured you two were dating, the way you just made-out." He laughs.

"So Kevin, how old are you?" I ask, trying to make conversation.

"15. What about you guys?"

"We're 15 too." Braden answers for me.

"Where are you going to school?" I ask.

"Cedar Cliff High School. Is that where you go?"

"Yeah." I laugh. "So where'd you move from?"

"Maine."

"Oh cool. Well welcome to the neighborhood." I say with a smile.

"Thanks Kelly." He gives me a small smile and Braden tightens his grip on my hand again.

"Yeah well we should get going." B says, pulling me with him.

"Bye Kevin!" I yell as we walk away.

"See you around!" He yells back.

We arrive back at my house less than a minute later. Kevin lives right down the street from us.

I think the new kid's cute.

We walk into my house and plop down on the couch.

"I'm tired." Braden complains.

"It's only 6 o'clock!" I yell a little too loud.

"Geez sorry I didn't realize you were the sleep police."

The sass is real.

"You know what B? Just go home and get your precious little sleep because I'm actually gonna live life." I storm out of the living room and run through the front door.

I don't know where I'm going, but anywhere other than here is great.

I can't believe Braden and I just had a
mini-fight. Over nothing! Ugh.

I stop walking when I reach Kevin's house.

He's still in the front yard, working with his family to move boxes into their new house.

"Need any help?" I yell from across the street to him.

"Kelly! Hey!" He laughs a little. "Yeah sure, come on over!"

I don't know why, but I could tell that this decision would flip my entire world upside down.
