AN- I want to reiterate that I'm leaving for college on August 25th so this is a second warning if this story begins to slow down that's why. I've been trying to write chapters ahead of time so hopefully that will help!

Did you know I actually get anxious having these prewritten wanting to post them for you? Because it's true.

Fanfiction won't allow me to look at the reviews that were posted to my story and I got two last chapter! So whoever you are if you would inbox me what you said I would really appreciate it because I love hearing from you all!

I now present Chapter 4 of First Kiss…

Daring

It had been a long and productive practice session. Kayla's last trip down the half pipe had her psyched for all the progress she had made training with Will. The feeling she had gotten on that last jump was invigorating. She felt so elated about landing that trick as she sped past Will she stuck her hand out for a quick high five. She wanted to get one more set in before they quit.

She dismounted her board and grabbed it to begin the trek back to the start of the pipe. Once she's made it back to the top she straps her board back on over her boots and prepares for the next round.

She hops forward and her board takes a dive down the snowy slope before her speed propels her back up the other side. She floats in the air for a moment and she spins her board around quickly and lands perfectly. While she slides back across the snow she plans her next move and once at the top executes it to perfection. She is on a roll today. Her timing is impeccable and it has given her an absolutely sunny disposition. She aims high on the next edge performing an extra turn and when she sticks it she can't help, but celebrate in her mind.

She speeds over to Will who is looking at her with an almost stern expression as she stops flawlessly in front of him. Her expectant grin portrays nothing, but the pride of how great a day she's been having on the slopes. When he shrugs as though she had only had minimal success she can't help it when she reaches out and shoves him in the shoulder just hard enough to knock him down. When he grins up at her from his place in the snow she offers him a hand unaware that she'd gained an audience.

Nick had meandered his way to the half pipe to get some practice for Fire and Ice. That was his excuse at least. He simply didn't want to admit it was because he was avoiding his father and all the stress that he caused Nick. Nick used to genuinely enjoy snowboarding and even practicing, but nowadays it was seeming to be more of an obligation or a job. He was no longer boarding for the love of it. That used to be the only reason he would pick up a board. It was simply out of love. When it was him and his board and a clear hillside of shimmering snow he felt invincible. Yet if you put him on this pipe with his father's watchful eye on his every move he tensed in discomfort and stress. Snowboarding was both Heaven and Hell for the young snowboarder.

He looked out on the pipe as he drew nearer and saw Kayla with Will Cloud. Her grin was so wide her face may very well have split in two. Nick hadn't ever seen her that happy. When Nick sees the smile on her face turn to a smirk and her shove the boy he almost thinks that it's out of malice. Once he hears her loud, harmonious, and cheerful laughter echo across the snow he knows the there is no way the push was meant to do any harm to Will at all. When he sees the easy going grin appear across the other boy's face he can feel a burst of jealousy. He had truly liked Kayla, but there was no way things could ever return to the same as they were before. Not even if he told her everything about his dad. All his hope of ever getting that girl back was lost. It may just be for the better though, he decides. After all she looks extremely happy there with her hand held out in peace for Will sat in the snow.

Looking up at Kayla, her face bright red from her large smiles and hearty laughter had to have been the best part of Will's day. This girl was the epitome of cheerful because today had happened to be the best day of her training as of yet. He was certain that if everyday could be as good as today he would be incredibly happy all the time. It wasn't even because that would help her towards her goal of winning Fire and Ice. No, his happiness was far more selfish. He simply enjoyed being a core part of her happiness and in turn the receiver of her affection. She was most definitely the receiver of all of his attention. If Kayla was around Will had a hard time keeping his eyes off of her. It only seemed to get worse as time went on. Dink and Sam had started making jokes to him and had almost allowed Kayla to catch them on several occasions. Will had considered murdering them to keep Kayla from finding out.

His heart would flip every time her board left the ground each practice. He was terrified that she would crash like him and lose the happiness she derived from the snow. If there was one thing he could prevent that would be it. Seeing her in the snow, so alive and daring made him want to try again, but he just knows he can't. Will is broken and his walls are slowly rebuilding. Except this time these walls aren't trying to keep everyone out of his heart. These walls are there to protect him from himself because every time she shows him something new or exciting that makes him realize how amazing life, and she, really are, a little piece of his fear is locked away.

Too many more days like this with her and Will might be on a board himself. An idea that if it had even been mentioned a year ago or even a month ago would've gotten a sarcastic laugh and pointed jab. Now as he sits on the snow staring at the outstretched hand of a beautiful girl he begins to consider that it could be a possibility.

Kayla had came into his life with a crash and knocked all of his walls down. Before he even had a chance to reassemble them fully she was persuading him to coach her and his best friends to win Fire and Ice. There's no telling what this girl could convince him to do. When he's with her he feels a little less scared and a little more daring.

He grabs the hand she's offered with a grin and instead of using it as leverage to rise to his feet he gives a quick tug and she falling into his arms with a little yelp. It's his turn to laugh at her as she struggles to gain her balance. When she's finally steady she looks over to him with a faux scowl on her face and he takes one hand to cup her cheek and pull her face towards his own.

Once their lips have collided the pair release their doubts of each other and embrace their moment fully. They were finding contentment in each other and the moment that they were sharing because both teens had been on edge about the other's feelings for weeks.

Will brings his other hand up to cup her face as well and both of her arms are resting on his shoulders. He can't believe that he actually summoned up the courage to kiss her. Kayla had a way of making him do crazy things.

Kayla hadn't been expecting this result to her day at all, but she can very well admit that if her day were cake this would be the icing, which was her very favorite part of cake. She leans into Will a little more because he's making her knees go weak and her stomach flip. When she feels as though she needs to breathe she pulls away for a moment and takes a quiet breath while the blood floods her cheeks. Her already rosy red cheeks from the cold turned crimson as she thought about what just happened.

Nick is a little too irritated over the tenderness he just witnessed Kayla and Will share. He knows that he'll never get her back but, that doesn't mean he wants it to be confirmed in front of his eyes. He backs away from what he considers a bittersweet situation to go clear his head of this new stress elsewhere. His problems with his father will just have to take the back burner for now.

Will took a deep breath and looked into the face of, what he was sure was, the most perfect girl on the planet and gave her a small smile. She giggles cutely and he can feel her shove his arm once more in retaliation for pulling her down. He's pretty sure it was worth it.
