10 Shit 9 I walk in the living room and stood in a random corner in an attempt to be away from everyone else. 8 I looked around to see if anyone else was as lonely as I was. 7 But everyone was either taken or asleep. Typical. 6 Well, I knew I was going to die a loner anyways. 5 what would it be like to kiss a cow? 4 i bet it would be slimmy. 3 and smelly. 2 "There's no more time", I signed already planning on ditching this place and finding a cow to spend my life with. 1 As I was headed for the door, I was pulled into a closet and a soft pair of warm lips were pressed against mine. Tenderly they grasp the back of my head, pulling me in closer. I slowly melt in to them, embracing the kiss and allowing myself to surrender into the moment. As soon as I knew it those soft lips pulled away and I open my eyes, coming face to face with my reality. Those soft lips belonged to the same green eyes I would stare at numerous times and fantasize. Those same eyes which i knew were basically off limits. From that kiss, I knew there was no way in hell I was going to be able to continue following that rule. I just kissed Aiden. I gulped and looked at the ground. That was also my first kiss. -------------------------------- Sarah Patel. 17 year old Indian American Teen who's one goal in life is to finish high school, unnoticeably, snarkingly, and with her best friend Jasmine by her side.

Without hesitation I crashed my lips to his. He was too surprised to kiss back at first, but he quickly recovered and snaked his arms around me. Now I was the one not responding due to shock. He didn't push me away? Just as the kiss was about to deepen, I pulled away from him and sprinted down the thankfully empty hallway. • • • • • Emma Burns and her two best friends have a tradition.
