It All Started With A Dare...

The Kiss

JAMES POV

James Angelo= Brown hair, has 6 pack, never had girlfriends(except for 1), very popular, all the girls wanted him, and had 2 parents that are divorce.  He is 17 and it has been 3 years since the divorced.

It was 2:30, I was tired and didn't want anyone to come and comfort me. My mom had a stupid meeting with her co-workers. Bored. That was all I felt but I didn't want company either.  I was just watching t.v. when the door rang. I groaned in frustration cause I didn't want to get out of my comfy spot. "Who is it!", I yelled.  No one answered. "Who is it!", I said again with more anger in my voice.

Still no one answered...

"UGH.", I said while throwing a pillow at the t.v. I got up and headed toward the door. To my surprise my best friend Liam was there. He had his swim trunks on and a pair of black sunglasses. " What do you want, dude", I asked with no emotion.  " You need to get back up on your feet. And I am going to help you do it.", he answered with pride. Good luck with that, I thought. 

"And how are you going to do that" I challenged. "You and I are going to the beach", Liam said. Wait a minute, I knew why he wanted to go there because WE NEVER go to the beach.  " This doesn't have to do with anything about Shelli, right?" I asked already knowing the answer.  He looked down, embarrassed. "Yeah, maybe. Look, I just saw her and her friend go to the beach. I really want to ask her out. I have for a while.", he replied shyly. I knew Liam, he has had a major crush on Shelli ever since grade one. " Fine, I will go with you.", I said. His face transformed into a smile. "BUT only if you ask her out today

He nodded in agreement and with that we headed towards the beach.

When we got there, he started looking for her. I laughed because I have never seen him this way before. He was usually tough and confident. I decide to leave him and head for a swim.At first, I didn't go in. I just felt the water around my feet and smelled the ocean. I had started to go in  until suddenly, someone turned me around, grabbed me from my neck and kissed me. 

This kiss was so different, her lips were so soft and they tasted like vanilla icecream. I kissed her back, my hands on her hips.  I didn't want it to end until she pulled back and ran away. I didn't even get a glimpse of what she looked like. All I saw was hazelnut brown hair.

What the hell was that?

I was gonna find her, somehow.

Then, Liam knocked me out of my trance. " James! I found Shelli!," he said excitingly. I gave him a smile. He was looking straight ahead. I followed his gaze and saw Shelli. But it wasn't just Shelli, it was HER. The girl I just kissed. Man she was beautiful. I didn't know her name so I tried to think of one.

Hazelnut. That's what I will call her...
