Gabe's POV
"Hey Gabe," Jo said as I opened the door.
"Jo?" I asked confused. "What are you doing here?"
"I lost my Math textbook, and I don't have anyone else's numbers, and since we worked on the volcano project a week ago, I knew how to get here." She explained.
"Wait, you came alone?" I asked.
"I only live about five blocks away, stupid." She said.
"Oh," I said.
"Well, can I come in or not?" She asked stubbornly.
"Sure," I said, backing away from the door, letting her in. She walked in, dropped her backpack and plopped down onto the sofa.
"We going to do homework, or not?" I asked.
"I have three hours; we can do the homework later." She said.
"Ok, what do you want to do then?" I asked.
"What video games do you have?" She asked me.
"Star-Crusher, Die-Zombies-Die the game, Dead Space, and Dead Space 2," I asked.
"Okay, let's try a movie instead." She said.
"Die-Zombies-Die, the movie!" I said grabbing the DVD from the cabinet.
"Cool, stupid." She said as I inserted the DVD into the player. I plopped onto the sofa, as far away as possible from her.
"Where are your parents anyway, stupid?" She asked.
"My parents are out, Teddy is out on a date, PJ is somewhere I don't care, and Charlie is upstairs taking a nap." I explained.
"Oh, so we're alone…" She said stretching the word 'alone'.
"Yea, why…?" I asked edging farther away from her. "Well…" She said, moving close to me. "What…" I asked, getting nervous and running out of room to edge away.
"I love you Gabriel B. Duncan." She whispered.
"What?" I asked astonished.
"I love you Gabe!" She said, and turned away, actually scared of me. I didn't know what to do, my mind was going blank. Then I did the unthinkable. I put my arm around her, swung her around, and kissed her.
We kissed for about a full five minutes, until she pulled away.
"Jo…" I said.
"No- we shouldn't." She protested.
"Why not?" I asked.
"It's just wrong." She said.
"Why does it feel so right?" I said.
She looked at me like I was crazy.
"Okay, that was the corniest thing I've ever heard." She stated.
"Sorry…-" I was about to say when she stopped me dead and kissed me again.
I fell backwards, so she was on top of me.
"Sorry!" She said rolling off me.
She was amazing, my first kiss and his second crush, and I loved it. I loved her. (This is mad corny)
"If you tell ANYONE what we did, I'm going to rip your lips off and snap your arms," she threatened.
"How can you love me, but keep threatening me like that?" I asked.
"Well It's just… I'm so used to it!" She stammered.
"I'm sorry-" She started but this time, I stopped her with a kiss.
We kissed for another four minutes, until we were interrupted. The phone was ringing.
"Darn it!" She yelled. I picked up the phone, I recognized the caller as Jo's mother. I handed the phone to Jo. Her face frowned as she listened to the phone.
"But- I have 3 hours- but- Okay mom- bye." She said hanging up.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I have to go! I have a doctor's appointment in half an hour!" She said racing to her backpack.
"What about the Math textbook?" I asked as she strapped on her backpack.
"I lied to come over here." She said as she left.
No Good-bye kiss, Great. Wait… she knew this was going to happen? My mind flashed back to Jo and I kissing, then back to Kit, my first crush. Kit, the girl I lied to saying I was an only child and my parents were divorced, and then it all went down-hill from there. I remembered the 'It's juice not pea' joke. Smooth. Hopefully I won't do something like that to Jo, or she'll probably hurt me.
