My first ...

Middle school, a time to remember and a time to forget. Middle school served for many of my "Firsts"; my first crush, my first time ditching school, my first girlfriend, my first fight ext... . But i think the most memorable one would be my first kiss. It was early one morning, there was a slight breeze in the air, i had forgotten my jacket and was pretty chili. That day just any other day at my middle school you could smell the aroma of farmer johns in the distance. The ruckus of the children playing in the school yard felt almost normal. That day i felt confident, strong, enlightened or you could say i felt on top of the world. During nutrition my friend Ricky and i were socializing next to the cafeteria when his girlfriend came out of the blue and took him with her. I was left alone but i was soon joined by a mysterious girl. She was in my social studies class but i never had the chance of speaking with her. She was about 5'2, slim, and had long flowing hair. I think the part i liked most about her was her light green eyes. We were engaged in a stimulated conversation when the bell decided to ring a little early that morning. I felt almost compelled to ask if she would like to do this again and so i did. She agreed  we would meet up next to the main office for lunch. The whole time in class i could not pay attention, my mind was focused on her and what we would talk about next. The bell rang again signaling lunch time. I quickly rushed to the main office and sat on a bench diagonal to the entrance. I waited there for almost twenty minutes until i decided to give up and just go find my friends . As i walked down the hall i find my friends next to the trash can in the math hallway. I spent the remainder of lunch with them sad and hart-broken. The bell rang again signaling the end of lunch and the begging of fifth period. Who else do i find waiting at the door but her, the girl with the green eye. She approaches me and apologizes for not showing up, i of course didn't care that she didn't show up i just care that we were together. She somehow convinced me to ditch fifth and go with her to P.E. We went all the way to the end of the court-yard were we found a nice shady part to sit down and talk. We spend the period there talking and when the final bell rang and all the children came running our ready to end the day she grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes. I could feel my blood rushing and my heart pumping. I must have been as red as a tomato. Her face and my face came ever much closer. I closed my eyes for fear of what might go wrong but when our lips finally met, it felt almost natural. At that moment i was frozen in time, everything around me moved forward but i stayed perfectly still. But what seemed like a long time turned our to be only a few mere seconds. The sad part of it all was that she would soon move far beyond my reach and i would go back to my ordinary life, but that "first" is a first i won't soon forget.
