First Kiss
"Shinobu-chan you are so cute. Hey want to try kissing?"
My heart was pounding fast. Was she kidding? She had to be.
I waited for her to say just kidding. She was just being her usual
self. Then she bent down and I felt her lips touch mine. It tasted
salty and dry. My eyes widen and she moved backed from me.
"Taichi-san, you just, you just k..k..kiss...", I couldn't
bring it out correctly.
My first kiss, it was my first kiss. I couldn't believe it.
I thought she was kidding, but...
"How was it, Shinobu-chan?" She smiled at me with that smile.
I couldn't face her.
"No!"
I used both of my legs and was able to throw her off of me, on
to the floor...
"I hate you!"
I ran out of the room, tears steaming down my cheeks.
******
Akiko was on her knees, her face was pale, the words stabbed
her.
<"I hate you!">
******
I ran down the hallways, there was a pain in my chest. How
could she do this to me? Take away my first kiss? A thousands
thoughts ran through my mind. Was she serious? Was she joking? Did
she mean anything by it? Did she not? I couldn't control my tears;
they were blinding me. How could she do something this mean?
I didn't notice the figure in the hallway.
"Umph!"
"Gomen.", I stuttered. I turned to see who I had ran into,
then I blushed in embarrassment.
"Senpai."
I looked up, hoping to see his warm smile, but instead saw a
face of concern.
"Is everything all right, Shinobu-chan?"
I nodded, even though I knew my tears would betray me. I wiped
my eyes, then looked at him again.
"Senpai, um... I have a favor to ask."
******
A few minutes later we were on the roof looking over the
shine. A slight breeze blew through our hair.
"So what is it Shinobu-chan?"
"K..k..kiss." I turned my head to blush, I didn't know if I
could Senpai about this.
"Huh?"
I turned my head again, this time staring at the ground.
"Senpai, was your first kiss special?"
He began to blush.
"Well, it was more like it was forced."
Funny, Taichi-san said the same thing.
"I wanted it to be with someone I loved. But it doesn't
matter, as long as your heart is pounded when it happens."
"My heart is pounding?"
Senpai nods.
I try to force a smile, but I can't, because...
*Whump*
I turn to Senpai. He is wearing this strange helmet. Even
stranger his lips are being pressed out to look like they're kissing.
"Tadah!"
Kaolla-san appears behind him.
"Introducing Auto-Kiss Moving Machine Cherry-kun 2!" Whoever
it first sees it will kiss.
Senpai looks at me, then a few seconds later he's coming at
me. I close my eyes. I can't move. What do I do? Should I let him
kiss me, even though it's forced? It has been my desire to kiss...
<"I wanted it to be with someone I loved. But it doesn't matter, as
long as your heart is pounded when it happens.">
"No!"
"Gomen, Shinobu-chan, but I can't control it!"
Then I hear a smashing sound and a sound of someone crying out
going farther and farther. I open my eyes to see Naruegawa-senpai
with her fist out.
"Geez, what was that idiot doing THIS time?"
I ran off. The pain in my chest had returned.
******
I couldn't believe I almost kissed Senpai like that. I was
hoping to kiss him, but not like that. I was stretched out on the
outside porch staring at the sunset. But I couldn't understand
things.
<"I wanted it to be with someone I loved. But it doesn't matter, as
long as your heart is pounded when it happens.">
My heart pounding...
"Shinobu-chan?"
I turned my head to the voice.
"Taichi-san."
"Do you really hate me for kissing you?"
"No," I said, "I was just upset."
******
"I see. I didn't know it was your first kiss. Gomen."
She turned her head away from me.
"I was only kidding. If I had known, I wouldn't have done it,
but..."
She turned her head back to me.
"I don't want to lose you as a friend Shinobu."
I smiled.
"It's OK, Taichi-san."
She gave a smile, but it looked like it hurt.
Shinob...
My lips suddenly touched hers. It happened suddenly. Her
lips tasted the same, it didn't taste like lemon, it was more salty.
I let my lips stay on her for a few minutes. Then I drew back and
open my eyes. I smiled.
"Consider that my revenge for earlier.", I said.
I heard Kaolla-San yell out:
"Shinobu, Akiko-chan, where are you?"
I got up and shouted:
"Coming."
I began to rush off, but I stopped. I turned around and gave
a smile.
"Taichi-san, aren't you coming?"
"In a minute.", she responded.
I rushed down to meet Kaolla-San. It was strange though; I
remembered what Senpai said about your heart pounded while kissing.
So why was it pounding twice today?
******
Why? Why can I kiss you, but...
You're right, I am hopeless without you. I can't say it though.
Every time I try to I freeze up.
One day.
I smile and stare into the sunset.
One day I will tell you my feelings Shinobu.
I think I love you.
