My eyes will not close, no matter how hard I try, they will not close. My mind is just a jumbled mess.

You would think that a normal person might be a tad bit tired after staring at a ceiling in the dark for over 2 hours.
But I think we have all established that I, Stacy Kline, am not a normal person.
My mind would not stop wondering, and I was becoming restless. The thin layer of sweat that covered my body wasn't helping either. My sheets were a jumbled mess at the end of my bed with my body sprawled out on top of them.

Every time I would attempt to close my eyes I got a flashback of what happened only mere hours ago, an uneasy feeling crept into my stomach and I couldn't help but toss and turn trying to relieve my discomfort.

'This is not happening to me.' I thought to myself. Another cold sweat broke out on my forehead as I turned my head to the clock on the nightstand. Which had broken due to the amount of force I put into pushing the snooze button and flashed every few seconds.
2:17, 2:17, 2:17

That stupid clock. It was as if time its self was taunting me, reminding me of why I was still awake at this time of night.

But, honestly, how can I forget about what happened.
Blake Rackley kissed me.

Hours Earlier
"Blake?" I said once more. But that was the last thing I said.

Because the next thing I knew Blake's lips were firmly placed against mine.
I stayed frozen in place, trying to comprehend what was going on.

'Blake is kissing you.' My mind repeated to me over, and over again.
My shock didn't go unnoticed, and as Blake started to pull away my body was quick to react as I forcefully pulled Blake's face back to mine and I kissed him back.

Blake's lips were gentle and I could feel his hesitation. I knew, that every time Blake stopped for only a few seconds that he was letting me know that I could tell him if he was doing wrong by kissing me, or if I wanted him to stop. But thats just the thing, I didn't want him to stop.

We continued to kiss, our lips moving together slowly and rhythmically. My hands unconsciously made their way to Blake's unruly curls and my fingers seemed to be woven into the fibers. Protective arms wrapped themselves around my waist pulling me taut to his chest. His fingers gently prodding my lower back.

There was no room in my brain for any thoughts of what was going on around me, or Blake. The only thing I could think of was how I was kissing Blake, Blake had kissed me!

First kisses are supposed to be special, and although I had already had my first kiss, it was nothing compared to this, this really felt special. I felt like I was on cloud nine, and nothing was going to bring me down.

We continued to kiss only separating to breathe, and as we did we had some how managed to get in a position where Blake was hovering on top of me with my arms draped around his neck while I was perfectly snuggled into the warm blankets beneath him.

With eyes still closed I awaited Blake's lips to find mine again, but was disappointed when I only felt his hot breath fanning my face.

Realization hit me like a brick to the face, and I had regained enough sense to know what was going on.

My eyes snapped open, and met Blake's heated gaze.

"We need to stop." My voice came out shaky and hoarse.

Blake didn't object as I crawled out from underneath of his body. I sat uncomfortably next to him making sure to keep my distance and not make eye contact.
