Chapter 25

This chapter is another one of my favorites. You'll see why when you read it.

After school was over, Amanda told Len everything that had happened with

Nat.

"…And then, Nat's dad got totally pissed off when he found out about him

doing drugs and yelled at him. Soon, Principal Lynx told him that he was expelled and

that his friends were suspended. Also, Nat's parents grounded him for two months, so

now, I don't have to worry about him because he won't bother me anymore!" Amanda

lied down on the ground and sighed happily. "This is one of the best days of my life."

Len looked down at her and smiled. "I'm very happy for you, Amanda."

Amanda sat back up. "I really owe you for it 'cause you thought of the idea

of having me get revenge on him. Thanks, Len."

Len blushed. "Well, then…you're welcome."

The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.

Just then, Len said, "Amanda…what's love?"

The cat-meleon turned to the wolf in surprise. "Love? Why…do you want to

know?"

"I'm just curious is all. What is it?"

Amanda thought about the right explanation for Len's question.

"Well…actually, to be honest, there are many different kinds of love. Here, let me put

it to you this way. You see…sometimes, when a male meets a female, they get this

little…emotion over each other. That's called love-at-first-sight, but here's another

kind. Most of the time, at first, the girl and the boy don't really like each other.

However, as time goes by, they get this little pain inside their stomach, but it doesn't

really hurt so much. Also, their faces turn red as they get all hot and sweaty. It just

shows that you like someone, but as in more than a friend."

"How do you show someone that you love them?"

"Well…there are many ways how you can. Like, for instance, you can give

them flowers, chocolate, gifts, take them out on dates, hug, or hold hands. But, the

best way to show someone that you love them is when they kiss."

Len raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Kiss?"

"Yeah, it's a little lip-to-lip contact."

Len didn't get the point.

Amanda sighed. "Here, let me show you." She pulled out a small

photograph from her pocket and showed it to Len. "Here's a picture of me and Nat

kissing on our first date."

Len examined it carefully and understood. "Oh."

Amanda put the picture away. "But, it's not just the lips. It could

sometimes be the cheek, nose or forehead. I wouldn't try it anywhere else,

though…'cause it's nasty."

"Oh, okay. Well, that's all I wanted to know. Thank you."

"Sure thing." Amanda pulled something out of her backpack. "Oh,

speaking of which, in celebration of Nat's expulsion, I brought a little movie for us to

see." She took out a DVD box and showed it to Len. "Have you ever seen a movie

before?"

"Never."

"It's kind of like a book, only you get to see what is happening on film."

"Oh, that sounds like fun."

"Yeah. This one's my favorite romance movie ever! I got it last year on my

birthday. I've watched it over 30 times and I still can't get enough of it."

"That sounds like a lot."

"It is, my friend. I think you might like it." Amanda took out a small

portable DVD player out of her backpack. "Good thing I've got this wireless portable

DVD player with me." She opened the box to the DVD, took out the disc, and put it in

the slot inside the DVD player. "Sit back and enjoy."

Just as the movie began to start, Len stomach starting growling. "Hey, do

you have anything to eat?"

"Hang on, I'll check." Amanda searched inside her bag and found a small

taco. She sighed. "I only have one taco, I'm sorry."

"Oh."

Amanda passed the taco to Len. "Here."

Len was surprised. "No, you take it."

"But, Len. You're hungry. You have to eat something."

"So do you."

Amanda sighed. "Okay, here." She split the taco in half and handed one of

the halves to Len. "There, now we're even."

Len took the taco and ate it as he started to watch the movie.

About an hour later, when evening came by, Amanda and Len were still

watching the movie. The scene that they were watching contained nudity and sex.

Len was a bit stunned by the scene that it was getting him horny. He

suddenly groaned because he felt a bulge in his pants.

Amanda heard him and asked, "Len, are you okay?"

Len faced Amanda and covered the bulge with his hands. "Oh, I-I'm fine.

It's just…an ache."

Amanda didn't know what was up with Len, until she looked down to see

his bulge. "Oh." She gritted her teeth nervously, for she forgot that the sex scenes

would make a boy like Len horny.

She quickly paused the movie and faced Len. "Uh…do you just want to skip

this scene? I think it might be best."

"Oh, no. No, I'm alright, trust me. Just keep it going."

"But, you've got a…" She pointed to his pants.

Len shrugged. "I said I'll be fine. I can tell that the scene's almost over

anyway."

Amanda sighed. "Okay, if you say so." She played the movie again.

After a half-hour, the movie was still going on. This time, it was at a soft

romantic scene.

Len turned to Amanda and his stomach churned when he saw her, but he

didn't care. He turned back to the movie and, without realizing it, put his hand on

Amanda's. When he finally did, he blushed and faced her.

She sis the same thing and started to look away.

Len just eyed her while facing the movie. He figured that he really liked

Amanda, but didn't admit it to her.

After another half-hour, the movie had ended.

Amanda turned the DVD player off and put the disc back in its box. She

took a deep breath. "Well…that was fun, huh?"

Len turned to Amanda. "Um, yeah. It was. Thanks for showing me it."

"No problem." Amanda took out her cell phone and checked the time. "Oh,

shit. It's almost seven. I should have been home hours ago." She packed up the DVD

and DVD player and stood up. "I'm glad you liked the movie."

"Thank you."

"So…I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

Before Amanda began to walk away, Len stood up and grabbed her arm.

"Wait, Amanda."

The cat-meleon-girl faced the wolf-boy. "Yeah?"

Len didn't say anything. Instead, he took a deep breath, stood on his tip-

toes, and kissed Amanda on the cheek.

The girl gasped and blushed as she felt the spot on her cheek. She was

speechless. "Len…thanks."

The wolf smiled warmly. "You're welcome."

Amanda giggled. "Um…goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Amanda started walking away, still blushing.

After she left, Len leaned himself against a tree and sighed happily. "I'm in

love," he said to himself. "Could this day get any better?"

Just then, Len heard a noise. He turned to see a car with lights on

sounding some kind of siren and driving towards the street close to the forest where

he was.

Len's eyes widened in shock. "Oh, no," he whispered.

Uh, oh. Now, there's trouble for Len.

But, the real question is, what's going to happen to Amanda when she gets

home?

You'll have to wait until next time to find out.
