He pulls away.
I pull away too, but I'm now hurt and angry.
"What's the matter?" I ask, delicately.
"I, I, I just can't! I've never done it before!" Alex shyly admits.
"We'll me neither!" I tell him.
"I..I..I have to go..." He lies. He pulls his books and me off the ground.
I smile at him, a broken smile, and he walks out the door.
So much for my first kiss.

"He KISSED you?" Genni yelled, her ice sculpture rocking. She dented the face while whipping her hands out to yell.
"No!" I say louder, because I don't want her to think I've been keeping secrets from her.
She glares at me.
"Almost..." I admit.
"Stella!!!" She yells. She's mad. But happy.
She turns back to her sculpture. It now has a long scar draped across its face.
"Broken," she says. "It's name is Broken."
She makes long, cold hair fall down her back and touch the icy floor of the basement.
Broken's dress is magnificent. It's just like Elsa's, but better. Broken stares at me, half happy, half scared.
I feel like Broken.
In fact, I think I'm broken inside.

"Test Tomorrow," Mom reminds me. I thank her with a smiling nod.
Grandpa watches me. "What's the matter, Stella?" He asks.
"Nothing." I mutter.
"Ah," he says, ignoring me. "A quiet heart and quiet voice makes the problem even.."
"Louder." I flatly finish.
I smile at him because I have no happiness inside.
My life is falling apart.
My parents are divorced.
My best friend left me.
My new friend is betrayed.
My love is too shy for me.
I have a dang test tomorrow.
I run up the winding, wood stairs and rush into my room.
The neon green has never made me feel better as much as it is now.
