Ryan let out a frustrated sigh. This was a regular thing for him, it was how he dealt with his frustration. He grabbed my hand and pulled me a little closer to him leaning his head up against mine. The air was cooling down a bit so this made me happy, seeing as he was always warm. "You're really cold Liz! I swear my purpose in this world was to make sure you don't freeze to death." Ryan said sarcastically with a smile on his face,
"Oh don't be silly. I was made to deal with the cold, it's because my body doesn't know how to be warm." This was an ongoing war between Ryan and I, he's always warm and I'm always cold.
A sweet smile spread across his face, in fact it was a little too sweet. It made me wonder, but I didn't have much time to wonder about it, then I figured it out. Ryan leaned a little closer to me and without thinking I tipped my head upwards slightly and leaned into him as well. I felt the warmth of him coming closer to me, and electric sparks went down my spine the moment our lips touched. This was my first kiss ever, it was so exhilarating! He pulled away for a second then leaned in once again touching our lips one last time, this one was slightly longer then the last. He held me in his arms for a while after and eventually we came apart. "I love you, so much Ryan." I spoke with a sweetness on my voice that I'd never heard before.
"I love you too Lizzy, I hope you know that." Ryan smiled, "But we should go find Pam and Coots, before they think we have abandoned them."
With that Ryan wrapped his arm around me and we walked off down the river. Steadily the night air got colder. Soon the warmth of Ryan wasn't enough to keep me warm. He offered me his sweater which I happily accepted. We found Pam and Coots down at the far end of the river, and we sat with them for a while, me cuddled into Ryan's arm his sweater keeping me nice and warm. Pam and I were happily curled into the arms of our boyfriends while Ryan and Coots discussed basketball and other such things. It was getting late so we stood and made our way back up to our bags.
Arriving there greeted us with a great surprise. Amy, the world's biggest prep and her boyfriend Adam were sitting there by our bags just rant making out. Now, not that I'm frigid or anything, but this disturbed me greatly. It just wasn't something anyone really wanted to see! No surprise, Amy and Adam weren't you're run of the mill meant to be together couple. They just didn't go well together, not to mention Adam was an eleventh grader and Amy was only in ninth, like Pam, Ryan, and I. Coots was in tenth grade but that was different him and Pam were so good together!
Quickly me and Pam grabbed our bags and coats and ran to catch up to Ryan and Coots. The walk home was freezing. We'd let time get away from us again and we arrived home at ten o'clock. Pam and I ran upstairs and got into our pyjamas then sat on my bed. "Coots whispered something to me about Ryan's plan... did he really.... kiss you!" Pam asked with anticipation in every syllable, "Yes! He did, it was so amazing. I know he's been trying to find a time to do it for a while, and it was just so perfect!" I said with a little too much excitement in my voice, but I didn't care. Coots and Pam had kissed long before then, but I had wanted my first kiss to be special. Overall, tonight was an amazing night.
