I walk into school and I can't seem to stop thinking about this "James" person. Weird Right? I saw a super hot guy in his boxers, and he kissed me. He also had abs. Why isn't he the one that I'm thinking of. Why is it James. I'm almost at my locker when I spot Lila. She is standing by my locker like always. I walk up to her and a smile creeps up on my face. I try to hide it, but I am oddly excited. I really want to tell her about James, about how this may be a crush. But I can't mention James without mentioning what happened with Tommy.
"What's with you? You are never like this." Lila exclaims.
"Well something happened yesterday" I say without meaning to.
"What happened? Did Tommy ask you out?" Lila squeals loudly. Some people turn and give her strange looks. I tell her everything that went down yesterday. She screams with joy when I mention the kissing. But then, I mention James. I really exaggerate on his amazing features. I tell her how I think I may like him.
"Are you talking about James Faulkener?" Lila says with a tone of disgust and her facial expression looks as though she had just saw a health video.
"What do you have against him?" I say looking around making sure James is not around.
"He's in my algebra class, and b.t.w he made my ugly list." Lila says with that same expression on her face.
"Ugly list?! He is like a sexy king in the kingdom of the sexies." I say giggling.
"Well I guess I am more of a Tommy Gardener type of girl." Lila says giggling.
I walk into my art class. There he is. James Faulkner. Oh right, he was picking up art supplies while I was ditching art. I sit down in my seat and try to focus while Mr. Gren is teaching us about some painting called "Romantical Love" by Leonid Afremov. Mr. Gren explains to us how the people in painting are a couple causally strolling in a lit park. Mr. Gren tells us how the idea of all art pieces is that the painting can be perceived differently by people. He explains how lots of people think that the painting is supposed to represent how when two people fall for each other their worlds combine and nothing matters to each of them, nothing can rain on their love. He also tells us about how other people may think that they are just two people holding hands, but there's more to every art piece. I glance at James, his eyes are already on me, as though they have been this entire time. I can't help but smile.
Lots of people have songs that they assign to a boyfriend they call it "our song" But I have a painting that I want to call "our painting". It just can't be "our painting" if he never knows about it. I really want to tell him about all of the butterflies I get in my stomach when he's around. I want to tell him about all of these strange feelings I get. Even though it has only been a day, it feels as though its been a lifetime. It feels right.
The 9th period bell rings and I get onto my bus. I sit by the window and put my headphones into my ears. I click the button on my iPod touch to shuffle my play list. I am still thinking about James. He is the one thing that's been on my mind. "I'll Make Love To You" by Boyz II Men comes blasting through my headphones and I jump back, startled, my cheeks turn bright red even though I am the only one who can hear it. I click the next button immediately. "Closer" by Tegan and Sara is the song that comes on next. Wow, is my iPod set on love songs mode? My phone buzzes in my pocket.
I pull out my lame flip phone and read the text. "Come over in 30 min, wear something nice, my reasoning is top secret. XOXO- Lila" That's a strange text. Why should I wear something nice? Oh god I' m thinking to much. As the bus doors open at my stop I hop out and run into my house.
I run upstairs and into my room. I open my closet and pick a causal floral dress. I fix up my makeup that is all shiny and dull from this morning. I brush my hair and glance at my watch. It reads 3:20. I should go now. I say goodbye to my mom and run down the block to Lila's house. When I get there, Lila greets me.
She looks so happy that people might think she's insane. "I know that you weren't a big fan of Tommy even though you enjoyed his kisses, so follow me." She says.
I follow her into her bedroom and OMG ITS JAMES. I hug Lila and whisper "thank you" into her ear.
"I knew you would like this, so I invited him over earlier. Just because I don't like him doesn't mean that you can't. I want you to be happy." she whispers back.
I turn to James. "Hi" I say, trying to make it obvious that I am checking him out by look him up and down.
"Hi." he lets out a manly giggle. " You're June Beaumount. You're in my art class."
"Yeah" I say smiling.
"So what was with your boyfriend, are you guys still together?" he says
"Actually we were never officially together and he hasn't called me. I'm not a whore who goes around kissing everybody if thats what your thinking. That was actually my first kiss and it wasn't too great anyway." I say looking into his eyes.
"I'll leave you two alone." Lila smiles as she leaves, she winks at me.
"I've seen you around town before. You're so beautiful and I think that you deserve to know that. I can do more for you than any jerky jock can." He says smiling. I start to blush. Did I hear him correctly?
He leans in and before I know it he's kissing me. I feel as though I am no longer on earth, but in heaven, jumping on clouds. He continues kissing me. I think this is what it feels like when you feel fireworks. He kisses me harder and for about an hour, that's all we do.
When I finally break the kiss he is looking at me, wide eyed. "Damn" he says with a smile. "That was probably the best kiss ever." He says.
"I would have to agree with you." I say smiling.
