*FOUR MONTHS LATER {DECEMBER}*
The temperature may have been 10 degrees outside, but Fern was hotter than a burning fireplace.
She was sitting with her best friend/boyfriend on Sam's bed at his house on Wednesday after school. Of course, they were making out. They loved making out.
Winter break was in only a week, and that meant no school, no homework, no responsibilities, and more making out.
Sam slyly slipped his tongue into Fern's house, and she nearly gagged on it.
"Ew, Sam! I told you, no Frenching. I'm 14 years old," Fern sniffed, coughing.
Sam laughed. "My deepest apologies."
Fern giggled as she crawled into his lap and let him hug her warmly.
Fern was a full-on punk Goth. She used to be angry all the time, but since Sam and her had hooked up, she'd been too busy being happy (and making out) to be angry. Fern had strange facial piercings, wore only black, wore so much eyeliner she sometimes looked raccoon-like, and even had...a tattoo.
It had taken her literally two months of begging. Her parents, who were hunky-dory parents that you usually see in bad family-friendly sitcoms, had totally freaked out. After Fern proposed to remove her eyebrow, lip, navel, and two ear cartilage piercings forever, they'd finally caved. So now Fern had a small skull & cross bones tattoo on her left hip.
Fern had recently suffered from a heart attack due to excessive tobacco inhalation (directly after her very first kiss in her entire life, oddly). Fern'd been a hard-on smoker since age 10. When she was upset, she'd smoke up to four packs a day. Sam'd been a light smoker too, but after Fern's attack, he'd sworn off smoking forever.
Back in the room, Sam had managed to slide his hands up Fern's shirt, touching her bra. Fern slapped his arm and he gently pushed her down, his lips trailing up her neck.
"I think I want to see that tattoo again," Sam murmured. Unlike most boys, he was gentle and knew what Fern wanted. They'd been best friends for the last four years, of course.
"I think you've seen it 7 times in the last 10 minutes. Anyway, it hurts a little. I just got it two days ago."
"I think I should kiss the pain away," he suggested, running his tongue over her 5 (previously 6) piercings in her right ear.
Fern realized there was another way to get high other than smoking.
Love.
