I walk along with her. It's fun talking to her, I mean she's a decent girl, not a harass which is actually okay with me. All the girls in my school are extra and annoying, but hanging out with her, I feel good inside-out. When we reach the bridge, she hesitates a little seeing the yellow sky. I want to know what's bothering her, because it bothers me too, not knowing her discomfort. "What's wrong?" I ask her. "Oh,... Umm. Nothing," she replies. I didn't find the answer to my question , or a hint to lead it to. We walk on the bridge, and stand halfway. She takes a deep, shakey breath, and her lip quivers gently. She slowly closes her eyes, and her eyelashes curl down with her eyelids. I wonder why I can see her, only her, and nothing else. Before I know what I'm doing, I move even closer to her, scoop her into my arms and cuddle her. She's really cold, so I give her my warmth. She steps back from the hug, and I lean in to kiss her. At first, she's shy and confused and it makes me think that she doesn't want it, so I pause. I look into her eyes--bright and reflecting the sky behind me--she leans in this time, and kisses me back heartfeltly. We kiss as what seems like forever, and I hope this forever actually lasts.
