Thanks for your encouragement, but I'd feel a little better about my story if I had more reviews. I don't want to sound selfish or anything, sometimes I do a better job when I know I'm being appreciated.
Chapter Three: How will Kina respond to what has just happened? Will she act clueless or make the connections herself? In this chapter she'll show her new maturity of 15-years.
Kina sat in disbelief, not knowing what to do. The words of the young boy staring at her put her in shock and amazement. She had never thought her friend would even think of her as much as she thought of him. 'Where did he come up with the idea to confess his love for me? Since when does he LOVE me? I knew something was weird, but I didn't think it would be like this. Why do I feel so awkward?' Her thoughts were interrupted by her anxious friend who had just done something startling to her as well as his self.
"Uh, Kina? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I should've known better than to do something so stupid." Jamie began to feel regret and guilt for his sudden act of affection. 'It seemed like such a good idea yesterday. What went wrong?'
Kina came to her senses and realized the boy she loved and cared for had just said the three words she wanted to hear for so long. Kina looked up at Jamie, who was now looking so depressed because of the blank response he had gotten from her. "Jamie" The adolescents' eyes met and an emotional connection was made. "I love you too. I have loved you for so long, but I never had the courage to tell you. I'm sorry I waited to say it; you shouldn't be ashamed of what you did. If you hadn't said it first, I wouldn't have told you either." Kina felt something press against her lips and her eyes slowly closed. Both Jamie and Kina's minds were racing with thoughts of mixed emotions and shock. 'Ugh!! How did I get in this position? It's as if my body moved by itself to kiss her! What if she doesn't like this? Ahh! I have to back off!' 'What happened? He kissed me.my first kiss.'
*~*~*~*
Rini walked along the pathway of the school field casually in hopes to see her friends. With a turn of her head she saw a scene surprising enough to cause her books to fall to the ground. Somehow Rini was abruptly over her two friends who were still engaged in each other. She jetted around to different perspectives carefully examining the two teens. "Hey you two love birds, you finally got your acts together!"
Kina and Jamie pulled away from each other and stared at the teenaged girl they called their friend. Rini was filled with disbelief as Jamie and Kina found themselves staring back at each other with a passionate bond.
"This is great! You two are finally together! Now it's all complete!" Rini was rejoicing over what she saw although it was not a for sure thing. Kina interrupted her friends joyous babbling to inform her two best friends about her new secret.
"Rini, Jamie, I have something to tell you both, but you have to swear not to speak of this to anyone except me." She stared at both of them intently as they nodded. "OK well, Rini, remember the weird rain yesterday?" "Yeah, what was that?" Rini had a curious expression on her childlike face. "Well it turns out it wasn't natural, that's a no da! This is going to sound so weird, but it came from this celestial place in space." 'Ugh, I sound so much like a little kid telling stories about aliens.' Kina paused to hear what the two had to say about her story so far. Oddly enough, Rini and Jamie took in the information as well believing as Kina the night before. She shared information about the little fire fairy and the crystal and everything excluding the incantation.
~Later that day at Kina's house~
Jamie looked at Kina in hopes of soon becoming her true boyfriend. With an awkward tone he said, "Kina, about what happened before we were talking with Rini. Do you think we could possibly have a more serious relationship?" Kina suddenly remembered what had happened and became overjoyed with what she had just heard. With a radiant expression she responded, "Jamie, of course! That would make me so happy to be your girlfriend." "That's great. I am officially the happiest boy on earth." Jamie pulled a little box from his jacket pocket and held it out to Kina. Kina looked at the box, then at Jamie as if to ask if she should open it. Jamie understood this gesture and nodded with anticipation to see the girl's reaction to the little ring inside the box. Kina gasped and a glowing smile spread across her beautiful face.
"Jamie it's lovely!" Kina gazed vividly back at her new boyfriend. "It's for you. It's a promise ring." Jamie took the small silver ring and slipped it on Kina's right ring finger as a symbol of their relationship. Kina stood gracefully and grabbed both Jamie's hands to pull him off of the soft couch they were sitting on. She placed her hands on the back of his neck then moved them further around his upper body as she pulled him to her. Jamie placed his arms around Kina's mid-section and Kina rested her head on his shoulder. Both teens had a warm sensation inside as they knew what had been done was meant to be. Jamie reached his hand up to Kina's hair to feel the silky texture and he whispered into her ear a small poem of love."Her hair as soft as silk,
Her eyes as deep as the sea,
I see all this beauty and yet,
I love her for her spirit."
~That night~
"Rini, he told me another love poem! It was so sweet! And he gave me a promise ring!" Kina excitedly told her friend on the phone line everything that happened that day after they left for her house. "He is so sweet! I am so happy with this new relationship! This is the best thing that has happened! I'm truly in love with Jamie! The boy I've known since I was two-years-young. He's the one." Rini shook her head as she listened to the love-struck girl raging about her new found "love" and thought, 'Kina seems so happy today. Yesterday she couldn't stay mellow about the guy's weird actions and today she can't stop talking about how sweet he is.' Rini decided to interrupt her friend's babbling.
"Um, Kina. Listen hun', I've got to go now, I'll talk to you tomorrow ok?"
"Yeah sure Rini. Bye." Both girls hung up and Kina turned to her locket to free her fairy again. Saya emerged and smiled at her.
"Hello Kina. What has happened today?"
"Saya it was the most amazing day! Jamie asked me to go steady!" With the thoughts still circling her mind Kina rambled on about her day to the fire fairy, which listened intently.
"Kina remember that you still have a responsibility to protect the crystal. It may seem simple now, but later it will become more complicated. Demons will surely come after the crystal; your spouse will be in danger as well as yourself. Be cautious of your actions Kina."
