FIRST KISS (PART ONE)

**Just so you are aware, if you have never had your first kiss and wish for me not to ruin your hopes and dreams that it will be absolutely perfect, then you should skip this chapter, thanks!**

Now that that is over with... let's begin. 

Weirdly enough, I'm going to begin with the second kiss I'd ever had because the first one is much more cringy haha. Sooo...

I had a crush on this boy named... John :) and we also happened to be really close friends. Then, as friends that go to different schools do, we stopped talking for a little while, which was kinda my fault. Now, John was the first guy I had ever met that was so much like me! We had more in common than we didn't. The only things we didn't have in common was the fact that he doesn't like pizza and I do and that he sails and I don't. Anything else, you name it, we had in common!

Now because we were so similar, I developed a crush on him, and everyone knew it but him!

So basically when he and I stopped talking, my feelings for him stopped as well, until I got a boyfriend. 

Now, I didn't actually like this boyfriend at the time, as horrible as that sounds. Basically, he and I started talking that summer and he asked me out and I just didn't know how to say no. My mother was a little nervous about me dating but when she realized how much of a gentleman he was she believed he was perfect for me.

My boyfriend and I had been going strong for about 3 weeks when out of nowhere John texted me. Suddenly, all my old feelings for him bubbled to the surface and I soon forgot all about the fact that I had a boyfriend that had even claimed was in love with me.

John and I had been texting for a while when John began "flirting" with me? (I put the air quotes bc I'm not rly sure if he was...)

Basically we were texting abt the cool things iPhone's can do and I was trying to see the difference between what my iPhone 8 plus can do and his iPhone 6s. Apparently, they're not much different!

So basically, I showed him something cool my phone could do and he showed me that his can do the same and I was like "oh, now I don't feel special anymore"

And he was like "don't worry, ur still special 😉"

Now at that moment, whether he was flirting or not, I should've told him I had a boyfriend, but I didn't.

Now, it wasn't until I kissed my boyfriend for the first time that I began to realize how deep my feelings for John really went. You see, while I was kissing this boyfriend of mine, my mind took me to John's face instead of my boyfriend's and it wasn't until I realized that it wasn't John I was kissing, that I pulled away. 

That night, I told my mother everything, since I'd hardly been able to keep a secret from her anyways. My mother wisely told me to break it off with my boyfriend in order to spare hurting him further by continuing to lead him on. I agreed and ended things with him, only to find out John had gotten a girlfriend shortly after. I know, *wipes tear*. 

Now, if you are ready for another cringy kiss story, please proceed to part two! See you there! ❤️
