talia

seven

i sat completely still, trying to have some kind of reaction to what i just heard. did i even hear lexi correctly? all that was going through my head was those two names that nobody would ever hear together: brendon and talia.

why don't we talk about why brendon and i shouldn't go into the closet together.

1.) brendon urie is a super hot senior who played basketball. and let's not forget the part about him being the most popular guy in the entire school.

and 2.) i'm talia morgan. i'm a junior and most likely the most unpopular person in tho school. and the reasoning for that, i'm socially awkward and an emo weirdo.

see? i'm pretty sure you can tell that me and brendon shouldn't go in that closet.

i hadn't even realized that i had been sitting there for two minutes with everyone yelling my name. i wanted to refuse to go with him, but that would make me seem like a wimp. so i slowly stood up and shuffled my over to the closet, brendon right by my side.

he opened the door and let me walk in first. i sat on the floor and watched him close the door  and sit directly in front of me. he smiled at me and put his hand out for me to shake. i awkwardly took his hand in mine as he introduced himself.

"i'm brendon," he ran his hair through his now very messy hair, but he still looked good with messy hair.

"i'm-"

"talia, i know," he cut me off with a chuckle. i chuckled a little and looked down at my lap.

"we don't have to make this awkward," he said, nudging me a little.

"well i don't know how to make it not awkward. have you seen me? i'm like the most awkward person you'll ever meet," i muttered as i rolled my eyes.

"don't say that, you're definitely not as awkward as you think you are. and yes, i have seen you. and i think you're very very pretty," he said with a cheesy grin.

i couldn't help but smile at him. he was being so cute and sweet. i put my face in my hands to hide my hideous smile and the shade of red that my cheeks were becoming.

he grabbed my hands, which sent chills through my entire body, and pulled them away.

"why are you hiding your face from me?"

i shook my head slightly as i thought of what to say.

"because i don't like it..." i trailed off. his eyes widened and he shook his head rapidly.

"no! no no  no. don't say that. you're so beautiful, and you should love every single thing about yourself," he said as his thumb made patterns on the back of my hand. i rolled my eyes.

"you're just drunk, you don't mean any of this. and i don't love myself...i-i can't." i said as i looked down to my lap.

"well, have you ever heard the saying 'drunk words are sober thoughts'? i believe in that saying. 100%. and i love the things you hate about yourself." he paused. "i've figured out just in this short amount of time that you hate your smile, you hate your face, you hate when your cheeks blush, and you hate your personality. but i love all of those things."

i didn't say anything. i didn't know what to say.

"i know i literally just met you and i don't know much about you yet, but i think i like you, talia."

i looked up at him, and his smile made the butterflies in my stomach erupt into something amazing. everything he said had surprised me.

but what i did next surprised both of us.

i leaned forward and slammed my lips onto his.

i didn't mean to, it just happened. and i couldn't pull away. it's like my lips were stuck to his.

at first, i thought i had just ruined everything by humiliating myself, but then he kissed back.

he put one hand on my waist, and the other on the back of my neck. it sounds cliche, but it felt like our lips molded together so perfectly.

but then i pulled away.

"wait, how much time do we have left?" i asked casually. he kinda stared at me for a moment before checking his phone.

"about a minute, let's make the most of it," he said before pushing his lips back onto mine.

it kinda sucks that my first kiss happened while i was drunk and i may not remember it, but at least it was meaningful. at least to me...
