Lucky Dice

Chapter 8: First Kiss {Lucky}

The weekend finally arrives, I swear it doesn't ever get here fast enough. I have made some progress on the conspiracy board, except it's not much of a board as much as it is a conspiracy book. Anyway the information I've gathered doesn't make any sense. Speaking of things that don't make sense, interestingly enough the more time I spend on trying to figure this weirdo out, the more I get this familiar feeling that I haven't felt in a long time. It's this weird feeling that just makes me feel so happy and excited. I don't know is that weird? The alarm I set to remind me that Dice went was going to pick me up to go to the movies went off. I grabbed my jacket and made my way downstairs, I saw my mom laying sound asleep on the couch. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a sticky note, notifying that I was going out with some friends. I then placed it on the fridge next to our family picture. The picture was of mom, dad, and me standing in front of a cherry blossom tree. It was taken just before it happened, I don't know why she even has this up. Probably because it was the only time we looked like a normal family, or maybe to remind us that we can't let that happen ever again. I wipe away some tears and walk outside, his car is nowhere in sight. I sit down on the patio, we really need to buy some chairs or something. I open up the conspiracy book and start writing down a questions to ask him if I ever get the chance. If I could ask only one I think I'd ask him how he has flawless muscles and doesn't to any physical activities. My writing was interrupted mid-sentence when I heard him calling out, I closed the book and quickly walked over and as soon as got in he started driving. "I was beginning to think that you went without me." I said with relief "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the time." He responded apologetically. We didn't drive for very long before he pulled up to a nice looking house. He pulled out his phone, sent a quick text, the put it away. Shortly after he'd done that, three popular girls from our school came out. They quickly got in the car and we started driving again, there wasn't much talk in the car while we were driving. As soon as we arrived at the theater I was bombarded by questions about my past. Dice looked kinda stressed and didn't talk much, apparently he's the chatterbox of the group. Which I find interesting since he doesn't talk much at school, or at least not around me. We sat down in the theater and I ended up sitting next to Dice and the popular husky girl. After the movie ended, we stayed in the theater doing their tradition of spotting crew members with the same name. Eventually all three of the popular girls needed to go to the bathroom at the same time, leaving me and Dice alone. We ended talking about the book and compared it to the movie. Suddenly it became quiet, we had ran out of things to talk about. We just sat there, looking at each other, I don't know how I hadn't noticed how cute his face actually looked. We were staring into each other's eyes, which looking into his eyes was like staring out into the ocean on a nice breezy day. His fur was so nicely brushed and neat, which is more than I can say for mine. His body was so ripped and chiseled that it was kinda showing through his shirt. Then in my trance I saw him leaning in for a kiss, and for the first time in a while, I wanted something for myself. So I also leaned in, and we shared a kiss, all of my worries, all my stress and anxiety, all my teenage angst, and just all of my negative emotions just disappeared and I felt happy. Like genuinely happy, then we stopped, for about a moment I felt lighter than air. Then a terrible thought popped in my head, then another, and another, when eventually my head was just filled with awful thoughts. I started to feel my lips, they no longer brought me any joy, just more awful thoughts. "Are you okay?" He asked, then I had probably one of the worst thoughts I had. He didn't invite me here to be nice, he invited me here to humiliate me. "Is this some kind of sick joke?!" I snapped at him, he was probably going to do it in front of the popular girls, like 'Oh hey look, Lucky kissed a boy and liked it' fat chance. He stuttered and didn't say anything, "I'm leaving! I'm going to call my mom to pick me up!" I yelled, I then stormed my way out of the theater. One of the popular girls, a golden retriever, came up to me "What's wrong, did something happen?" She asked a little worried. "No nothing happened, I never want to see Dice ever again!" I said loudly, I then proceeded to the men's room. Fortunately no one was in there, and I went all the way to the last stall and sat in the corner. I started tearing up, and just curled up into a ball. Why does life have to be so cruel, I finally find a nice guy and he tries to make a fool out of me. If he wasn't, I just ruined the one shot at some wonderful friends. Either way, I kissed him, I enjoyed it, and I want more.
