The Head Cheerleader and The Cute Nerd

Epilogue

A week after prom...

Liz and Charlie were window shopping at the mall.

“Hey, look at that dress! It's just soooo horrible and ugly! I'll never be caught dead in that!” Charlie scoffed.

“Yup. I totally agree. It's just not right. The cutting, the colours, everything,” Liz replied.

They continued to stroll the mall, making fun of clothing and finally, they decided to rent a movie for their impromptu sleepover tonight.

“So, you and Lance are broken up?”Charlie asked as she searched for a DVD.

“Yup. Actually, we were never really together in the first place.”

“Yeah. I could see that,” she paused for a moment before asking. “So, what about Drake? I don't hear you fawn all over him anymore... What happened?”

Liz frowned. “I'll tell you about it later. Tonight,” she continued, “Anyway,” she forced a smile, “Let's play a game, see who can walk backwards the longest! I'll start,”

Liz started to walk backwards. Just then, she was about to bump into someone who was too busy looking at the DVDs.

“Watchout!” Charlie shouted.

But it was too late. Liz bumped into that someone. She turned around to see who it was and was shocked (and happy too).

It's you, she thought as she stared into those blue, blue eyes.

“I'll leave you two alone,” Charlie said and went to another section to give them some privacy.

They didn't even glance at her. They just stared. At each other. Finally, Drake broke the silence.

“Hey,” he said.

“Hey,” she replied, smiling.

“So, I heard your conversation. Didn't mean to eavesdrop though,” he grinned, dimples showing.

“Really?” Liz was stunned.

That means, she thought.

Before she could finish her thought, he pulled her towards him and kissed her on her lips, right there and then. Not caring if anybody stared.

When they finally pulled apart, Liz smiled at him while thinking,

My first real kiss, she thought giddily, finally. And also with the guy I really wanna be with.
