Chapter 3: The kiss
" Alright with passion now people " Miss Duboise instructed us. I couldn't believe she was doing this. She had us dressed up and everything. Well thats what we get for getting the head director of the drama club as an honors english teacher. " Alright again . . . Tybalt, Lord Capulet Action "! And what I couldn't believe was she was having us act this out infront of our parents and the whole 9th grade. " Tis he, that villain Romeo "! I zoned out until Ushina nudged me to go on stage. I went on. I stood there and felt a hand touch my hand and pull me back. He stared into my eyes andmine in his. " If I profane with my unworthiest handthis holy shrine, the gentle sin is this. My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready standto smooththat rough touch with a tender kiss ". He kissed my hand gently. " Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand to much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; for saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch. And palm to palm is holy palmers kiss ". I gulped the next few line would mean kiss. " Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too ". " A-Ay pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer ". " O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do! They pra; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair ". " S-Saints d-do not move, t-t-though grant for prayers sake ". " Then move not while my prayers effect I take. Thus from my lips thine my sin is purged ". He placed his cold hand yet again on my face and leaned his head in. Yet again our lips were centemeters apart when our clean up bell rang. Kevin pulled away and walked off without a word. I felt tears swell up in my eyes. I thought he was sorry, but it was all a lie. Why else would he be acting like this. I unknowingly changed out of my juliet clothing and into my regular clothing. Then I walked to 2nd period holding back the tears that were threatning to brim. It was a lie . . . he was a lier! I didn't even feel like staying in school the rest of the day so I texted my daddy for him to come pick me up early.
* In the car *
" Jade darling is there something wrong "? My daddy looked worried. " No daddy . . . I just don't feel so good " I said staring out the window. I stared out the window andI thought I saw him. I blinked in disbelief, but the second I opened my eyes he was gone. Once we walked into my house I went up to my room. Thoughts of Kevin Moore swarmed in my head. His soft midnight black hair, his beautiful skyblue eyes, that voice that caused shivers of delight go down my spine just to hear such a lovely voice as his. I layed on my bed, and closed my eyes letting images of him flutter through my mind. What was I thinking. I sat upright in my bed. It was already dark out. I must've fallen asleep when this thought surfaced. I didn't even know him. I just met this boy yesterday and I'm having thoughts like these. I had to get some fresh air. I walked downstairs and out the door into the cold october air not even thinking to grab a jacket. I walked out past Kevin's house and saw his sillohette in the window. I blushed deeply, looked away, and kept on walking. This was insane. Miss Duboise was insane for making us do this. I continued walking lost in my thoughts until I got to the park. I really needed to think . . . so many thoughts were traveling through my mind right now adn I really just needed to be alone. I sat on the bench and stared up at the stars in the midnight sky. They were so beautiful. I wished that I could join them. I felt someone sit beside me on the bench, but I did not look to see who it was at first. I wanted to enjoy the stars just a tiny bit about two more minuets I looked to see who had joined me on this starry night. " Hi " he said not meeting my gaze. Kevin what was he doing here? " H-Hi " I said breaking my gaze. We sat in silence for a minuet or so and then I spoke up. " Why . . . "? He looked at me confused. " Why . . . why do you hate me . . . you tell me your sorry . . . . and then you do it again " I said tears threatning to spill over. " I am sorry I meant what I said yesterday . . . I really meant it " he said honestly. " Then . . . then why did you storm off after practice today "? I said a tear escaping from the corner of my eye. A chuckle escaped his lips. I looked at him in disbelief tears were falling furiously down my face now. " What could possibly be funny huh . . . you . . . you jerk "! I yelled at him. He looked hurt. " I'm laughing because that wasn't me . . . " I looked at him again in disbelief. " What . . . "? " Yeah . . . you met my twin brother Alexander ". I felt so stupid. " Your twin brother "? " Yes . . . whenever I don't feel like going to school Alexander takes my place " he said giving me a small smile. " . . . but what about his school education "? Kevin laughed. " Alexander isnt registered in the system. Thats the best thing noone ever knows its not me ". I was an idiot. " K-Kevin I'm so sorry . . . I didn't know please, please forgive me " I pleaded with him. New tears fell down my face. " Your a real cryer aren't you " he said smiling. He wiped my tears away and smiled. " So . . . tomorrow we want to show miss duboise that we have these parts down pat so why don't we practice right here right now " he said still softly smiling at me. " A-Alright " I said smiling back. " oh, then dear saint, let lips do what hands do! They pray, grant thou lest my faith turn to despair ". He took my hand in his and his sky blue eyes never left mine. " Saints do not move, though grant for prayers sake ". " Then move not while my prayers effect I take. Thus from my lips thine my sin is purged ". It was coming. His hand went to my face and he lowered his head to mine. I did not close my eyes until I felt his soft cold lips make contact with mine. Even though I dind't want to I pulled away for that was what my charactr was to do. " Then my lips. . . the sin that they have took ". " Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again ". This time I closed my eyes and when his lips met mine . . . I felt like I was flying. After a minuet or so he pulled away. " You kiss by th' book " I said looking into his eyes. A shiver ran down my spine at that instant. . . it was getting very cold in the next instant I felt very warm. I opened my eyes and saw Kevin's leather jacket around me. " Come on before you catch a cold " he said pulling me up. I nodded and stood. But then I noticed all he had on was a black tanktop that showed his muscular bdy off rather well. " But what about you you'll get sick too " I said worried. " I'll be fine " he said giving me a reassuring smile. He walked me to the front door of my house. " So I'll see you tomorrow "? I asked him wanting to make sure it would be he and not Alexander. " Yupp I'll be there " he said smiling. He began walking back down the street. walked into my house and up to my room. My parents were fast asleep. So I quietly walked into my room and climbed into my bed. That night my dreams were filled with Kevin Moore and our kiss.
