I remember exactly how it happened.

He was always the last one to leave the classroom, with his two buddies flanking his sides. Today, to my extreme luck, they were no where to be found. I hardly thought about it, but it does seem strange now. Why would someone antagonize someone like that without anyone to protect them?

I waited outside, and around the corner. It was the same corner I watched him turn every day. Today it seemed like forever until I saw his shadow on the wall and then himself in the turn. For him it didn't register at first; he kept walking until our eyes met.

He literally froze in place, and in turn made me do the same. I didn't quite expect this out of him, after all… the boy liked to talk. But I remembered what I was doing before he had the chance to respond.

I grabbed him by the collar of his robes, and silently thanked the lord for no witnesses. I took him up and slammed him against the wall and hissed at him, "How dare you."

To my own surprised, the other boy grinned coyly and didn't flinch. Not even when I began to raise my hand and put it into my robes. "Do it," were the only words he said.

But I wasn't that stupid. I didn't touch my wand. I kept my eye contact and my glare. The other boy's eyes glistened and gleamed. This was getting weird. He wasn't supposed to be glistening and gleaming. I was bloody frightening, damn it.

I took both my hands and slammed him again. Same damn grin, same damn glisten. I hate that word, glisten.

I leaned closer, hoping that would get something out of the bastard. Well, he leaned forward, too, and what happened next….

He allowed his lips to touch mine. And I was just so bloody confused I let it happen. And by the time I thought it'd be appropriate to pull away, I didn't. I fell into him. I — I think I might have enjoyed it. He could kiss. And he tasted nice.

In less than two minutes my hands went from clenched, holding his collar… to around his waist and down his back. He bit my lips gently and my knees gave. And I began tingling all over. I realized I was leaning on him.

It was then he decided to turn the tables and whisper, ever so lightly, in a tone I will never forget…. "How dare you."

And he walked away. That smug bastard just walked away.
