Fall 1994:
Kamlyn Tran walked up to her new locker in the new high school. It was her first day in high school. Johnny told her it was no big deal but she didn't believe him. All the cool kids went to the high school so it had to be something great. Kamlyn kept trying to open the combination lock on her locker but she couldn't get it to open she knew she had to have it right. She was just about to give up when she heard a guy's voice coming from behind her.
"You want some help with that?" The voice said. Kamlyn turned around to find herself staring at the broadest chest she had ever seen. A blush spread quickly across her cheek as she looked up into the eyes of the most gorgeous guy she had ever seen. He had the cockiest smile on his face that Kamlyn had ever seen on anyone and normally she would say something rude to wipe it off his face but she was going to be late on her first day if she did and that was something she definitely did not want to do.
"Yes. It's stuck...I guess," Kamlyn replied. The boy hit the locker hard with his fist and it popped open. Kamlyn rolled her eyes but gave him a sweet smile when he looked at her. He checked her out and leaned against the locker beside hers.
"I'm Dominic. What's your name, baby?," Dominic asked. Kamlyn almost laughed out loud. Baby?
"It's not baby...baby," Kamlyn replied. Dominic laughed.
"Okay. Then what is it?" Dominic asked. Kamlyn sighed and shut her locker door.
"Kamlyn," Kamlyn replied. Dominic nodded and looked down at the books in Kamlyn's hands.
"If you wanted I could carry those to your next class for you," Dominic offered. Kamlyn smiled and handed him her books. They started walking toward her next class. Dominic glanced down at her.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Dominic asked. Kamlyn shook her head and stopped at the door to her classroom.
"No. Do you have a girlfriend?" Kamlyn asked. Dominic laughed.
"I don't have girlfriends. Just dates," Dominic replied. Kamlyn just smiled and thanked him for carrying her books.
At lunch Kamlyn walked outside and sat down on the ground. She had only been sitting there a few minutes when a shadow fell over her. She looked up to see Dominic again. He smiled at her and sat down beside her.
"You wanna go to a movie with me after school today?" Dominic asked. Kamlyn looked up at him and smiled. He was asking her out.
"I don't really know you," Kamlyn replied. Dominic smiled.
"Johnny and Lance know me," Dominic said. Kamlyn glanced over at him. When she started to look away he moved his head so that she had to look into his eyes.
"Please go to a movie with me after school today?" Dominic asked.
"Fine...okay...but I have to be home by six for dinner," Kamlyn replied. She rolled her eyes again when she saw the satisfied smirk come across Dominic's face. He just laughed. Dominic brushed his fingertips down her long slender arms slowly.
"I'll do even better, baby. I'll have you home by 5:30. Meet me on the front steps after school," Dominic said before standing up and walking back inside the school.
After school Kamlyn met Dominic on the front steps and they drove to the mall. Dominic paid for the tickets for the movie and they walked inside. They sat down in the very back and Dominic moved his arm around her shoulders.
About half way through the movie Kamlyn felt Dominic's lips against her neck. She shivered as he moved her hair out of the way and began sucking on her neck as he moved his free hand down and rested it under her tank top on her stomach. He started to move his hand farther up under her top but Kamlyn moved her hands on top of his to stop him. She heard his deep laughter as he kissed up a long her jaw line and then begin roughly kissing her on her mouth. She moved her hands up to his chest and pushed against it as he slid his tongue into her mouth and deepened the kiss. By the time Kamlyn was finally able to push him away she had tears flowing down her cheeks because he had scared her. She stood up and ran from the theater. She was running through the mall towards the front door when he grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him.
"Hey, don't cry, I'm sorry. I got a little carried away;" Dominic wiped the tears off Kamlyn's cheek with his fingertips. Kamlyn tried to force a small smile.
"You scared me," Kamlyn whispered. Dominic surprised her by wrapping his hands around her waist and pulling her close.
"Don't be scared of me, okay? I would never force you or any other girl to do anything they didn't want to do," Dominic said. Kamlyn smiled.
"Okay," Kamlyn replied. Dominic hugged her tighter and kissed the top of her head before loosening his arms around her waist. Kamlyn looked up at him and he smiled.
"So, can I have a second chance?" Dominic asked. Kamlyn laughed and nodded as they walked out of the mall together.
