Kissing

Kissing..... I know, why kissing?

Kissing sucks. (no pun intended)

Everybody dreams of their first kiss. Trust me, I did day and night. Little did I know how it would happen.

I asked Mrs. Allman, my English teacher, if I could be Elizabeth in the kissing scene with John Proctor in the Crucible. Idk why I asked, but I wanted to do that part cuz it sounded interesting, and because I love being the center of attention. I was supposed to do a stage kiss, and I was supposed to pretend to be passionate. So when the time came, I leaned in and kissed my thumb, since my hand was on Proctor's face. In my fake passion, I accidentally slipped (my eyes were closed) and landed on Taylor's (Proctor's) lips. They were stiff and fuzzy and left an acrid taste on my lips. It was really embarrassing, and my cheeks stayed red and my head spun for the next hour. I think I scared Mrs. Allman, and I feel really guilty that she thinks I'm some messed up slut. At least she told me that I did a good job - once she came out of shock.

So the entire third period English class, most of 4th period, Mrs. Allman, and maybe some random passerbies saw my first kiss, which was a total accident. Yuck. Did I mention that Taylor is dating one of the most popular girls at school. And now I got my wish - I'm the center of attention - but it's more like I'm at the center of a scandal.

Oh well. Be careful what you wish for.
