Chapter 3 is Finally Here! Sorry it took so long.
3 months had past. Neither Calvin nor Susie had gotten much sleep at all. They kept thinking about the kiss. Calvin was wondering if he really did like Susie. Susie was wondering why she kissed him. Once, Susie got detention for not listening in class. Susie Derkins, the smartest girl in the 3rd grade, detention. Her teacher thought she'd never see the day. Calvin hadn't gotten into much mischief. His parents became concerned about him. They sent him to the school counselor for not for not getting in trouble. But the school counselor was confused for the reason why Calvin was sent there so Calvin was sent away. Hobbes went on and on to Calvin about kissing girls and that Hobbes hoped to kiss one, one day. The tiger would keep singing the kissing song over and over and over.
One day, Calvin couldn't take it anymore, he had to get this settled. Fortunately, he remembered Susie's phone number. He called.
The phone at the Derkin's home rang. Susie was left home alone while her parents went out for dinner. She answered the phone. "Hello."
"We need to talk," Calvin's voice said.
"Calvin! Um--' Susie was at a loss for words.
So was Calvin, who hadn't thought it through.
Calvin broke the silence. "I want to talk to you about that kiss."
"What kiss?" Susie stupidly played innocently.
"You know what kiss, I just called to confirm that I think we should just stay friends and that we should forget the kiss."
"I totally agree. Friends. Not boyfriend/girlfriend."
"I just wanted to clarify that."
"I'm glad you did. Let's just forget about it completely."
"See you later, bye." Calvin said.
"Bye."
18 months later Calvin;s dad was going to be transferred back to Calvin;s Hometown. 10-year-old Calvin was ecstatic. Susie was also excited about his return. They became phone pals, once a week talking on the phone together telling each other what was happening in school. It was the middle of the afternoon when Calvin and his family arrived. They were moving back into the same house. No one bought the house so Calvin's Dad's company did. The family bought the house back. Calvin finished packing in his room when Susie came over.
"Hi Calvin, It's been 2 years, has it not?"
"We talked every week."
"But it's not the same as talking to you in person."
"I agree."
The silence became awkward. They stared at each other. Stared. Silence. Awkward silence.
Susie couldn't resist.
She moved closer to Calvin until their lips touched.
And they stayed there for half a minute.
Both of them smiled and then continued kissing.
