~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Friday*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

On Friday Craig and Sean came and picked Em and I up at 5. We went to the mall and went to the movies. We saw the horror flick The Ring after much persuasion by Craig and Em. I got so scared that after the movie I was crying a little and Craig had nail marks in his hands and arms. They all had a good laugh at me and how much I screamed. We went and got a bite. We found a small table on the side of the food court where we could talk. The main topic was school started on Monday and how we all looked forward to it and how nervous I was and who to look out for and other tid-bits of advice. We had a lot of fun when we sat down to eat. I was teased trough the night by Sean and Emma. When this happed once I said defensively "I wasn't that bad".

"Yea" Craig defended me "Sean was that you who screamed in my ear?" he asked pointedly.  Sean blushed and looked away. We all laughed and the subject was dropped. We took the long way home Craig and I kept to ourselves. We walked toward the park. I sat back on the swing I played on the other day and Craig started to push me. Emma and Sean sat on the Jungle Gym snuggling close for warmth.  We all stayed in silence mainly.  When we realized that it was starting to get late we began to walk home.  Sean and Emma walked hand in hand in front of us. "It seems that we always end up behind them." I whispered to Craig. He chuckled at thins and said "I think they want to forget were here" I tried to stifle a laugh. Craig and I tried not to laugh really hard but we both ended up laughing all the way home. Craig and I stopped at the corner to say goodnight, Em' and Sean walked up to the door. We stood around not quite knowing what to do. Then I looked up at him (he is a head taller then me) and he looked down at me. Our lips found each other for a second on the dim street corner.  When our lips parted I realized I had just received my first kiss.  I felt my face get really hot as he pulled me to his body in a long embrace I hid my face in his chest.  I smiled as he kissed the top of my head. My eyes teared-up as I remembered the way my dad use to kiss me like that when I hugged him good-night. I jerked from his arms and ran from his embrace his kiss MY FATHERS MEMORY. I had tears streaming down my face as I heard him calling after me. I tripped, me being as graceful as I am, on the stairs right into Em' and Sean. I plowed my way in-between them and ran right through the open door.  I ran up the stairs and through my-self right in to my bed after slamming the door and locking it. I heard Spike knocking on the door "Liz, Liz, are you ok?  Liz talk to me." All I could do was cry. I pulled out a spiral and wrote down "I'm sorry but I can't talk now talk to me in the morning. I'm all right but I just had a memory flash". I slipped this note under the door and Spike went downstairs.
