I used to think that first kisses were overrated. Everyone always makes such a big deal of love and marriage and kissing. I never even wanted to have a boyfriend, because I honestly still thought guys had cooties. Well not really. But they're still gross.
All of my friends always ask when I will get a boyfriend. "Like I'm ever gonna get one!!!" I say everytime they ask. They all have one, but love just isn't my thing. I perfer sports!! Sports is how I let go and just forget the world for a minute. I never thought I would find love on a football feild. But I did.
It all started one day when I was practicing kicking. The new kid on our team, Joey Thovson, came up to me as I was watching the ball spiral through the two posts and said "That's really good, but can I recomend keeping your ankle straight? It will keep the ball from curving so much"
"What do you know?" I snap "you're new. You have a lot to learn, so don't be telling me what to do."
"At my old school I was the Quaterback for my team." he says, standing up for himself. I look up at him and get lost in his gray, misty eyes. I don't know if I had been staring at him for and hour or a second but he snapped me out of it by saying "Well I have to go." He winked at me and hurried away. I watched the distance until I could no longer see him, and when I turned around I nearly ran into my best friend, Karyn. She was staring at me like I was actually wearing makeup. Like that would ever happen. "Ummm, what???" I say, gathering up my equipment.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Joey Thovson just WINK at you??"
"Nope, he did" I said as calmly as I could. I was suprised too, why would a guy want to wink at me?
The next day we hung out at lunch. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. We were soon really good friends, and I eventually admitted to myself I like him. More than a friend. I was trying not to get caught up in his gray eyes and brown, messy hair but I couldn't resist. At the age 16, I was finally having my first crush. On Joey Thovson.
One night, when we were hanging out at his house, he suddenly started staring at me. I swallowed hard. Was he about to kiss me? Before I had time to think, he pressed his lips to mine. Joey Thovson, cutest guy in school, was kissing me, Josie Edwards! In this moment I knew that nothing would ever be the same for me.
