The whole week passed by in a blur mostly because from Monday 'til today which by the way was Friday all we did was reread the rules and regulations. Today was a day i was truly excited about: The Acquaintance Party.
It's a party each classroom throws every year on the first week of class so that all the students got to socialize and stuff but mostly play kissing games when the teacher wasn't there.
I was wearing black skinny jeans, a grey cardigan and baby blue flat as opposed to my regular school uniform which consisted of a white blouse with a black and white checkered necktie and a knee-length black and white checkered skirt it sounds like what a nun would wear but think about it, Anyway i was wearing that today because the ascribed attire for the acquaintance party was casual wear.
I was outside the gate for the mandatory bag check when i ran into Meche Gee Devin, one of my good friends and my classmate, Jenna Marie Vestion, my classmate and Meche's best friend and Marvin Barett, another one of my classmates and close friends who also happened to be the president of the SSG council. (SSG stands for Supreme Student Government).
We talked for what felt like hours but was probably only five minutes before we heard the warning bell ring signaling that we only had five minutes to go to our classroom but as the three of us ran up so as to avoid being late i accidentally bumped into someone.
I looked up and aw the boy whose face had been haunting my dreams and daydreams- Carlo. I stammered already feeling my palms go damp, "H-hi i'm sorry". He just laughed it off and said almost teasingly, "We really really have to stop meeting like this". "I'm Katherine", i said suddenly adopting the character of a fearless girl instead of shy, pathetic girl.
I looked deep into his eyes and i could almost swear i nearly drowned in the deep sea green color and that i felt this tingly feeling. "I know. We're classmates.", he replied belatedly.
I was saved from a tomato red blush when Meche walked over to us and said, "Hey cousin". Cousin? Cousin? Oh! I had almost forgotten. She and Carlo were cousins. "Hey yourself", Carlo replied before she took my arm and dragged me away to the loo. (loo is the English way of saying bathroom).
"What the hell are you doing, Katherine?" Meche whisper-yelled as soon as we made it to the loo.
"What Mitch?!"
"Stay away from my cousin, he's trouble. He's no good for you, Kat. He is a huge flirt and he has a girlfriend"
"Relax Mitch. He doesn't like me. Who would? I mean have you looked at me?"
"You're pretty. Trust me he likes you and if he doesn't then he wants to get into your panties. When you two were talking he had a definite boner."
"Relax! Darn it.. i'm not a prostitute. I wouldn't get in the way of his relationship even if he liked me."
"Okay", she said hugging me finally convinced that i wasn't going to get involved with Carlo in the foreseeable future.
With all that said and done we left just as the late bell rung but i felt something die in me- the hope that me and Carlo could be together one day. The party started ad i was about to go to my eat when i felt someone drag me to a game of spin the bottle.
I looked up and saw Danielle's older brother Dax who also happened to be her twin. Her fraternal twin because they were nothing alike for example she didn't really have a lot of friends but he was one of the most popular guys in school
"Hey Dax. Why are you dragging me to play spin the bottle?"
"Because you look like you could use some cheering up"
"Fine", i grumble. "But only one game."
The rules of the game were simple. The person that the bottle opening or mouth (??) stopped on had to kiss a guy or girl whoever they were facing after being spun three times. I was the first to get picked or rather the person who the bottles opening landed on. Dax spun me thrice and the person who faced me was the one who i had been dreaming of kissing since the day i met him. The person who faced me was Carlo.
Everyone was saying things like, 'Kiss him already' and 'What are you waiting for?'. I guess he got tired of waiting for me to kiss him because he walked right in front of me and kissed me. I closed my eyes and let the kiss take me where it willed.
