Sparks fly
I remember meeting Ichigo for the first time. It was almost magical how the carnival lights caught his hazel eyes in just the right way, so that they shone perfectly. I remember thinking that there was no way I could fall for someone like him. My mind had flashed to the things I had said to Tatsuki last year,
"I don't want to date someone who doesn't really love me. He has to be kind and handsome, and most of all when we kiss there has to be a spark."
I stood there in the crowd trying to be unseen. The best couples contest had begun and they had already selected two of the couples. I had looked over at Ichigo and his friends, and they were laughing and trying to push him into the circle.
"The next boy in the third couple is-…. ICHIGO KUROSAKI!" the announcer cheered.
A thousand girls screamed and rushed to all sides of the circle begging to be picked. I sighed, knowing by the end of the night one of them would be Ichigo's new girlfriend.
"Who will be the lucky girl?" the announcer teased. "Not you, you…. No. And YOU!"
The crowd went silent. When I finally looked up to see who he picked, I gasped. Because his finger was pointed straight at me! I looked behind me but there was no one there. I felt my face turning red, and I looked down at the ground and shook my head. Everyone laughed, and my face heated up even more. Suddenly I felt a shove from behind me. Then another, and another. Realization slapped me in the face when it dawned on me I was getting closer and closer to the circle. Someone gave the final push and being the graceful swan that I am, I slowly felt myself falling. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact, but it never came. I cautiouslyopened my eyes and it took ever once of will power not to squeal. I was looking into the smiling face of Ichigo Kurosaki.
As he helped me up I couldn't stop staring at him. We stayed there, looking into each others eyes for what seemed like eternity- until...
"ALL RIGHT THEN!"the announcer bellowed. "It's time for the favorite moment of the couple's contest... The Best Kiss!"
The crowd went crazy! I glanced up at Ichigo, and quickly looked back down.
"COUPLE NUMBER THREE! YOUR TURN!"
Damn that announcer.
I.
Wasn't.
Going.
To.
Move.
"Well..." I heard Ichigo say.
At the sound of his voice my hearts started thumping rapidly. I needed to get out of here. I turned to leave, and was halfway out of the circle, when
I felt A warm hand grab my wrist. Before I could pull away, I was pulled against the person's chest. When I finally looked up, I froze.
Guess who it was? Damn this boy is like a boomerang.
"You didn't think I was going to lose the contest did you?" Ichigo said with an adorable smirk.
Before I could respond, he cupped my face in his hands and touched his lips to mine. I swear I melted. His lips were warm and soft, and tasted like cinnamon. I struggled, trying to ignore every molecule that told me to stay the HELL there, but his grip on me tightened. I finally stiffened and let him kiss me.
"So what if he kisses me, I just won't kiss back!" I thought angrily.
He continued to kiss me, and I tried to focus on anything but his freaking soft lips.
But suddenly, I felt something tingle on my lips. It spread through my entire body, until it felt like I was in fire. I knew then it could only be one thing-
The Spark.
