Fourteen-year-old John Watson is over at his friend Vanessa's house to study. Ostensibly, they're studying British History, but they've spent more time studying each other's eyes. John can't believe his luck; Vanessa is pretty and smart and she really fancies him.
After two hours of talking and flirting, John finally summons his courage. (It's now or never! Make your move before her mum gets home!)
John's never kissed a girl before, but he's watched enough television to know how this goes. Gently, he cups her chin and leans in. His eyes drift closed, and so do hers. Tentatively, their lips meet and press together for one glorious moment. When they finally break apart, both teens smile sheepishly.
John's greatest fear is that he won't get to do this again.
