Teenage Life (& Lies)

Chapter 19

It's October 14, and after planning and planning, I have come up with the perfect plan. So I really want to kiss Dom. He's the most amazing guy in the world and I really want him to understand that. So I found out that some wrist bands have meanings.

For example a red one means lap dance or something and then white means something else. And in order to get one of the things from the bracelet you have to break it. So in my head I planned that if I make up a meaning for a bracelet and make Dominic break it, then he has to kiss me. If I don't do this I have a feeling that I will never get him to kiss me or vice versa.

So here I am, Thursday morning putting bracelets on. I make sure my parents don't see me taking them on the bus and wait for the bus to arrive at the school. When it finally does, I get out and quickly put away my bag and pack myself for the classes. After I put on three wrist bands and walk to Dominic.

"Hey", I say to him, flipping my hair a bit. He smiles and replies,

"Hey, Alex." I feel like this conversation is going nowhere. I decide to twist it a bit.

"Hey, do you like these?" I show him the bracelets on my wrist and smiles. "You know that each color stands for something?" He nods and I feel a little bit of hope light up inside me. "Do you want to know what each stands for?" He shrugs, and I just give him a you-really-don't-care face, and walk away into the closet. I can hear his chair sliding across the floor as I walk away.

"Wait, Alex, come back." I smile a bit and continue to walk towards the closet. 

"Then follow me." I walk into the closet to see Anthony there. I wave to him and instantly he spots the bracelets. "Aren't those the bracelets that make you do stuff?" I nod and he looks behind me as I hear Dominic enter the closet. I hold my breath. I feel tension arise in the closet, but what can I do?

I look behind me and smile at Dominic. I look back to Anthony and reply to his question, "Um, yeah. These stand for an Austrailian kiss, I think." I look at him dead in the eyes and hope that he can't tell it's a lie. He just nods and say to Dominic, "Hey, Dom, you should break one of those." He gives him a weird face. I hold my urge to look at Dominic and just stare awkwardly at Anthony. I look at him and sheepily say, "Yeah it would be kinda nice." I didn't mean to sound rude, but I really love Dominic.

Sudden;y the bell rings and we all pile out. We take our seats. I sigh, I was sooo close and yet sooo far away. I run my hair through my black hair and bite the inside of my lip.

I really hope that I would be able to kiss him today.
