It took only a few minutes to make it to the mall. Once we parked and exited the car, Kip and I started walking to the entrance.
"First, why don't we grab a quick snack? All you ate was that toast," Kip suggested, bringing his eyes down to meet mine.
"It's fine. I can hold off 'till lunch," I replied. He nodded and we continued forward. We lost track of the time and by the time we were done, it was a quarter after noon. The both of us began walking to the food court, our hands full of shopping bags. I did have a small bag of candy hidden in another bag from when Kip went into some sports store.
Once we finally got home, I quickly ran up the stairs against my brother's protests. It was nearly two o'clock and I only had an hour to get dressed for the next show. The theatre isn't very far, but the dressing room fills up quickly and I don't want to be sitting on the floor the entire time. I put on my nude undergarments and put my street clothes back on. I then went to the bathroom to do my hair. I had to put some product in it so that it wouldn't frizz up.
Once I was all ready, I raced down stairs and out the door yelling goodbye to Kip. I always take the bus to the theatre as the walk down to the bus stop gives me some exercise.

Once I arrived at the theatre, I saw some of the other ensemble characters heading to the dressing room. I smiled to myself knowing I wasn't too early, nor late. One of the older boys, Nate, waved me over to follow him. I gave him a confused look since he didn't look as if he were headed to the boy's dressing room. He didn't say anything, but turned around and walked into a hallway. I mentally shrugged and followed him. The hallway was dark with light only emitting from the room we were previously in. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach once I lost sight of Nate. Suddenly, chapped lips were on mine. I pushed whoever was in front of me and ran out of the hallway.
At least it wasn't my first kiss. But that was my first with a boy. Definitely not doing that again I thought to myself. In my opinion, being lesbian is the best choice I've ever made. I saw Nate exit the hallway with a smug, yet disappointed look on his face. I sent him an apologetic glance before running into the dressing room on the other side of the theatre.
