A Friendly Kiss
Chapter 1
Wednesday 6:29 p.m.
It was a beautiful evening in Beach city; The sea was gently swishing in and out of the beach, the sky was rosy, and grass swayed slowly in the gentle breeze. A young boy and his friend were on the highest point of the cliff, next to the light house.
"This book isn't really a sequel to the "Unfamiliar Familiar" series, but it takes place in the same universe.."
Steven was lying on the grass leaning his head on his palm, kicking his legs up and down. He knew it was no use trying to talk when Connie was passionately lecturing him about something from her favorite book series. And it wasn't like he wanted her to stop. In fact, he loved when she talked on and on. It was a moment when he could see really how smart and dedicated she was- a trait he adored her for.
"Steven?"
Steven hadn't even noticed he stopped listening. Inevitably, his cheeks were pink and his eyes were dreamy from looking at her.
"Steven, are you even listening?"
Steven jumped up and stood next to her, shaking his head to try and reduce the blush in his cheeks.
"Sorry, you lost me. But the book sounds really cool! When do you think you're gonna get it?" He said, trying to compose himself.
"My birthday is coming up in the next few months so I'm hoping my parents will get it for me."
She eyed him for a second, a look of concern forming on her face.
"Also, are you okay? You look a bit warm."
Steven was wearing an extra layer of clothes that day, (strangely enough) but that wasn't the reason why he was feeling warm.
"Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine."
They looked at one another for a moment, and then Connie's phone began to vibrate with a text.
"It's my mom. I think I'd better get going. "
"I can drop you home with lion if you want."
"No it's fine, I brought my bike."
The pair raced down the hill to the beach house, shoving each other and laughing between each struggled breath. Suddenly, the ground shook violently and a deep cry echoed across the city.
"That's the third earthquake this week!" Connie said with alarm.
The shake had caught them off guard and they were knocked to their knees.
"The Gems were saying something about a gem monster causing this. It's not a big deal, I think. Anyway, if something were to happen you've got your sword-"
"And you've got your shield!"
"Jam buds!" They said in unison, while they high-fived.
"Hey, are you free on Friday Connie?"
"Actually, my parents are gone overnight that day! Sleepover!"
"Sleepover!"
"Yes! I'll ask my parents about it. I'll text you later!"Connie yelled as she made her way across the beach.
"Bye Connie!"
Steven walked inside the beach house and made himself a sandwich, sat down in front of the TV, and relaxed for the rest of the night.
Hope you liked Chapter 1!
