I stood in front of the mirror as I saw myself in jeans and a nice T-shirt. I couldn't say dresses were my thing because I can't stand dresses most of the time.
I brushed myself off and did final touches before the doorbell rang.
"Mom! I'm going to a party!"
"Okay! Be careful!"
I opened the door and smiled at Keith who waited for me to step outside.
I snapped out of my daze and walked outside. I closed the door and got into his car.
It was quiet the whole ride and I had nothing to say so it was even more awkward.
We pulled up to the party and everyone was raving. We got out and went inside. Keith has walked off with a friend and I was left alone with my water.
Three girls came up to me and smirked.
"Ah look at you. Little nerd finally ready to party?"
I said nothing.
She pushed a drink into my hand which reeked of alcohol.
"I don't drink." I said as I shoved the drink back at her as I shook my head.
"Well you do now sweetie."
"No. I'll pass." I walked away.
I was in the dance floor now and everyone was crowding.
I started to feel closed in so I moved away.
I went to the kitchen and people were making out and doing drugs.
"Hey. Want some? I see you looking." A man with long blonde hair in a beanie said.
"No. I don't do drugs." I shook my head.
"Come on. One little puff won't hurt!"
"I said no! God does anyone have boundaries?!"
I started to flip out. My brain got fuzzy and I had to get out. Second hand high was kicking in and I was not here for it.
I walked out of the party and into the calm backward.
Nobody was there which was perfect.
I sat under a tree on a bench that was fit for two people.
I closed my eyes and looked down as I took some clean breaths.
I felt the bench sink a little and I looked over to see Keith.
"Hey. I saw what happened to you."
"I-it's Fine."
"No, it's not. I shouldn't have dragged you here." He defended slightly raising his voice.
"You didnt drag me or force me. I said yes. It's on me." I spoke sternly.
"I just... I just wish you were having a good time." He said looking at me with his beautiful purple eyes.
"I am." I said softly "I am right here. With you. This is perfect."
Keith looked into my e/c eyes and slowly leaned in.
I closed my eyes and he closed his. Soon our lips met and my stomach did flips.
He let go after a second and he rested his forehead against mine.
"Nice lips." He mumbled.
"Did you just complimented my lips?" I laughed.
"I-Uh... Umm-I-i... that was really awkward I-I'm sorry." He stuttered.
I just smiled at him.
"W-What?" He asked nervously
"No no. Nothing. Nothings wrong, I just" I looked down and thought "I just think your nervousness is cute. That's all." He smiled at me as I looked back into his eyes. We were silent and I looked as his dark eyes reflected the fairy lights that hung from the tree. This was a movie moment. An awkward one at that but definitely a movie moment.
"Want to kiss me again?" I ask.
"M-maybe. A little, yeah."
I leaned into him this time.
He pulled away and blushed.
"Is this awkward?" He asked holding my waist as I rested on him.
"It's only awkward if you make it awkward." I laugh and bite my lip.
"So it's awkward. I make everything awkward." He gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry. You'll learn how to use awkwardness to your advantage one day."
"Really?"
"Really."
"So is this our awkward first encounter?"
"Second. This is our second."
