Last Kiss

"Can I have some extra homework, please?" Carla asked the teacher once everyone had cleared out of the classroom.

"You want extra homework?" The teacher was in shock. In her 34 years of teaching, a student had never asked for extra homework.

"Yes, I already finished the homework you assigned today and I was hoping you could give me tomorrow's homework so I can get ahead."

Carla left the classroom holding the assignments the teacher would hand out tomorrow and started heading home. On her way out of the building, she bumped into Zack, her ex boyfriend.

"Carla..." He was surprised to see her. It had only been 2 weeks since they broke up, and he had been trying to win her back ever since.

"I have nothing to say to you Zack. Please, let me leave." Carla pushed past him and kept walking, but he followed her.

"Just hear me out." Carla kept walking, Zack trailing behind. "Just give me one more night. Please."

Zack proceeded to plead till Carla was halfway home. All of a sudden she stopped abruptly and turned around to face him. Carla took a look around to make sure no one was around to hear her yell at him. There was a mother and her daughter watching them from across the street. Carla grabbed Zack's hand and pulled him inside the dance studio they were standing outside of.

They stopped in front of a glass case displaying a ton of medals and trophies. This dance studio must have won every competition they've ever competed in, based off the amount of 1st place prizes inside the case.

"We're done, Zack. You need to get that through your head." She paused. "But I can give you one thing. One kiss." Zack perked up a little bit. "One last kiss, and then you leave me alone."

"Yes!" One kiss, then I'll move on."

Carla leaned in and placed her lips on Zack's. All of a sudden every memory she had shared with Zack cam flooding back into her mind. All the good morning texts and staying up late to talk. All the times he made her feel safe and protected with a hug. Every kiss they had shared. It almost made her miss him.

But when the kiss was over, she looked at him and remembered why they had broken up. That truly was their last kiss.

As Zack stood there allowing his brain to process what had just happened, Carla turned and walked out of the dance studio. The rest of her walk home was in silence, and the whole time she thought about her last kiss with Zack.
