Chapter 10 : Boys Affect Me

"Let's walk," Clark stated and proceeded to his car.

"Inside the car?"

Clark rolled his eyes and locked the car. Then we both tramped silently, until I started teasing him. "You secretly like to spend time with me Brownie? Don't you---"

"If I buy you a chocolate bar, will you shut up?" Clark asked and my eyes lit up immediately. I rotated my head conveying a big yes and Clark looked amused. We headed to the local grocery store and on the way, I stopped rambling shit and started to imitate him. It did not take him long enough to figure out that I was copying his every move.

He pocketed his hands and since I did not have any pockets in my pants, I just acted like there was one for real. All the people in the street gazed at us since it was clear that I was imitating him. Clark groaned and kicked a stone in annoyance. There was no stone around my area, but I spotted a tin can. I kicked it leisurely and before I knew, I fell down in pain. My toes hurt from kicking that cursed can! I looked at it and saw mud and big, hard rocks spilling out of it. Some kid must have messed with that can.

I whined and held my feet. Clark looked down at me and his eyes displayed a hint of humour. I raised both my hands for help but he just stared at me. I pouted and said, "Come on Brownie, help me up."

He hesitated, but quickly hoisted me up. In this process, I clashed into him and I looked up at him and grinned. He backed away awkwardly and ran his hand through his dark, brown hair. Some girls in the middle school around us hooted and I glared at them. "Piss off!"

"George has finally turned into Georgia," they sang merrily and I took a threatening step towards them to which they giggled and ran away.

One girl shouted, "You got a hot one to tame your ways, George!"

I cursed and Clark looked away coyly.  "Sorry about that, those girls erm . . . just need to ship someone."

He nodded faintly and we entered the grocery store. I picked up a Hershey's milk chocolate bar and Clark took a dark chocolate for himself. Bitter people with bitter tastes. Anyway, he paid for it as promised and we exited the store.

I indulged into the delicious bar and so did Clark. We both continued to walk while eating and ravishing the chocolate.

"Hehe, you've got chocolate over there," I said humorously and he tried to locate it. I reached out and wiped it with my finger. I put the same finger in my mouth and licked it playfully to which Clark narrowed his eyes. "What? I know it's gross but live with it. I don't waste chocolate, even a bit."

"Then what about this?" he said hoarsely and leaned forward.

Honestly, I was a little intimidated by his towering figure. Yet, I tried to stand confidently without budging from my spot. I placed a slight trembling hand on his chest and croaked like a toad, "What happened to you---"

He cut me off as his lips touched mine. I shivered due to an odd sensation tingling my body. My eyes widened in surprise and all the next moments was a blur.

"OH MY GOD! I have very interesting news to tell you," Emily screeched and jumped excitedly. I lay on the bed and simply nodded, but she ran towards me and started to jump on the bed too. I sighed and sat properly.

"What is it?"

"I got my first period! I hit my puberty, finally!" she exclaimed and her eyes gleamed with excitement. I gazed at her since I didn't know how to react. She got down from the bed and stood silently waiting for my response.
