A month went by faster than you could ever imagine. Jack and I were running to our hideout. When we got there we crashed on the little bed.

"What did you used to be like when you were little?" I asked.

"The same. Though I actually got away with my pranks then because I was little." He said. "What about you?"

"Well I had and still have a big imagination."

"Cool." We sat up and chatted for a while. We laughed and looked at each other. I looked at his lips.

The next thing I knew…we both leaned in and locked our lips together. After a minute we both realized what we were doing and quickly pulled apart.

"It was meant to be a joke! I swear I didn't really mean to kiss you!" He said.

"Me too. But…you didn't pull away." I said.

"Neither did you. Did-did you like it? Kissing me?" He asked.

"Truthfully…yes. You're a great kisser." I said

"So are you." He replied. "You wanna do it again?"

"Yes." I smiled and we leaned in again. He lifted my chin with his fingers and our lips locked again. Our lips moved rhythmically together. "That was my first kiss." I said after we released.

Jack smiled. "Mine too."

"You know, I only met you a month ago and we already kissed." I said.

"Yeah, I know. I didn't think you'd let me kiss you."

I laughed. "I didn't think you'd like the way I feel about you."

"Well now you know." He said. He offered me his hand and I took it.

"I guess I do."

We ran to the lake hand in hand. I took off my dress and jumped in the water. Jack did the same with his shirt. We swam and played. Every now and then Jack and I would kiss. Jack and I were kissing when Lizzie came up.

"Jack?" He and I jumped releasing each others' lips.

"What?" He said startled.

"Mother wants you to come home for dinner. Brooklynn can come too." She said.

"Okay. Um…Lizzie what did you see?" He asked.

"Just you two kissing." She simply said.

"And you're not surprised?" I asked.

"No. I thought you and Jack already kissed." She said.

We got out of the pond and went to Jack's house. When we got there the food was already on the table.

"Hi Brooklynn." Jenny greeted.

"Hello Jenny." I replied.

"Mother can Brooklynn stay for dinner?" Jack asked.

"Of course! It's always nice when your friend comes over." She said.

After we ate dinner Jack invited me to stay the night again. I accepted. Jack and I started talking and having a good time. Jack crawled on top of me and leaned down for a kiss. I excepted his offer. He licked the bottom of my lip begging for entrance. I let him in. I opened my eyes having the feeling someone was watching. My senses were correct. Jenny was standing with her jaw dropped. I pulled away from Jack. He looked at me confused. I nodded towards his mother.

"Mom!" He yelled.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. I was just going to fold some clothes. When did uh when did this happen?" She asked.

"Today. Please give us some privacy." Jack said.

"Oh yeah. Sorry. Carry on." She put the basket down and ran out of the room.

"Now where were we?" He asked. "Oh wait, I remember." He leaned in and kissed me again. I closed my eyes trying to think.

'Is this not supposed to happen?' I thought. 'What am I doing?! I have to kill this boy! I'll just go without trying for as long as I can. Why does Jack have to die this young anyway? If its so important then Clockwork would tell me right?'

At the end of the night I fell asleep in Jack's arms thinking what Clockwork would think.
