When It's Just Us ~TofuuDiger1~

All night I thought of Zach... And how the next day I got to see him again. My mother must have noticed how I was always in thought.

"Joe? What are you thinking so much about?" "Hmm?" I broke my daydream. "Oh. School" "Did you make any friends?" Yes. An adorable girl and an amazing dude. "Yes. A few." "Going to keep haning out with that boy that came over?" Wait...she knew? 

I had Zach come over when my mother wasn't home. "You...Know about Zach?" I asked, as I stood to put my dirty dinner dish in the sink. He face lit up with a smile. "Ah! So that's his name. Zach.." She rolled his name around in her mouth. "I like that name. And yes. Of course I knew about him. I have known his parents for ever." I leaned on the counter and looked at her. "So..? How did you know he came over?" "I asked his parents to see if he would hang out with you. I didn't want my poor baby boy to be alone in school." 

Suddenly I was angry... Zach talked to me because his parents told him to? Was all of what he said, a lie? Had he made me feel terrible by telling me those things, just so I would pitty him? 

Now I really couldn't wait for tomorrow.

So I could make a fool of this lame jerk..

~Poke~

 I stood outside Joe's house five minutes before the time we had decided on. I just couldn't wait to see him. Last night, I thought and I thought. Then I decided. Yes. I had a crush on Joe. And I wasn't ashamed. 

I stood and waited. And waited. Finally, ten minutes after the time we decided on, Joe and out side. "Oh? So you really did come." He said, with anger tipping over his tone. I was a bit shocked. "Are you mad, Joe?" I asked, kindly. "Yeah." "Why? You can talk to me." I put on the most friendsly smile I could muster. "It's because of you, stupid!" He yelled at me. My smile dropped off my face like a rock dropped down of a building. "M-Me..? What did I do?" :You only talked to me because of your lame parents telling you to! Who do you think I am? Some looser who needs bigger loosers to help him!?" I couldn't breath...Did he...really think that?

"Joe..That's not it at all..." I felt my eyes get hot again. "Yes it is! My mother told me so!" "Well, she's wrong Joe. I...Yes. I knew of you because of my parnets. But I..I realy wanted to hang out with you...Talk to you...I really...want to.." Tears swelled in my eyes. I cletched my fists at my sides. "You don't understand!" I shouted at him. I lifted my head and looked at him. Tears ran down my cheeks in thick lines. He seemed to be a bit confussed at my sudden anger. "Why-Why are you mad!?" He yelled. I jumped at him. Grabbing the neck line of his shirt in my fists. I looked into his eyes. They swelled with fear.

~Tofuu~

Zach grabbed me and I couldn't help but brace my self for his attack. But he didn't attack. I looked into his eyes...They didn't swell with hatred. Or anger, or sadness at all. They swelled with...want, and love...

Then the unexpected happened. 

He pressed his lips to mine.

And I pressed back.
