TKB contest

I have never fallen in love. I guess I never felt the need to. I'm just a senior in high school. Just eighteen. My name is Jasmine Black and I don't understand how people fall in love. So I've decided to try it. I'll admit. I have a crush on a boy. His name is Eric Lee. He's my best friend, Jessica's brother. I know, cliché. I've known him since middle school. To top it off he's her twin. So as you read this (yes I'm breaking the fourth wall) I'm planning how to do this.

"Hey Eric," I chimed. "What's up Jazzy?" Me, being me, I just said "I have a crush on you!" Mentally face-palming, I chirped a quick bye, and ran off. About 10 seconds later I felt someone grab my arm. "Wait!" "Eric, please don't reject me in school," I asked him. "What? Reject you? Jazzy you're so blind." Huh? "I've been trying to get your attention for years now," he states as I blink, confused. "Eric what do you-" Then his lips are on mine. I freeze, shocked, but slowly finding myself kissing him back. His lips were soft and gently. It was a sweet kiss. This was my first kiss and he knew it. He pulled away and I was breathless. "I've been wanting to do that for so long," He said, also breathless. "Me too." I gave him a peck on the lips and with a goodbye, walked to class.

At lunch Eric had asked me to be his girlfriend. Of course I said yes. It was now after school and Jessica was coming over. It was the dreaded moment. I had to tell her. I'm super nervous. "I'm here and I brought Nutella!" I know I said I've never been in love but, I'm in love with Nutella. The night went on and we watched a movie. She couldn't stay the night though. As she was getting ready to leave I told her what I knew would be hard to say, "I'm dating your brother!" She looked at me and just states, "Finally!" Then she left me alone in my house, super confused. Well I guess she approves.

Eric and I were still going strong. I think I'm actually falling in love with him. He took me on dates two times a week. Our first date was at my favorite place, the park. It was a sweet little picnic. Our other dates have been great too. Even when we weren't on dates we were driving around in his convertible. I had always loved it. If I new having a boyfriend was this awesome, I would have told him how I felt way sooner.

I'm going to tell him today. I'm in love with him and I know it. "I love you, Eric," I blurted out, as we sat in his car. He just turned and looked at me and said, "I love you too, Jazzy."
