1 ~ Allow the suspense

I wasn't ready for summer break yet. I hadn't had my first kiss- something Gloria and I put on our bucket lists last year. Of course, she got the guy of her dreams to kiss her, almost 6 weeks ago. But I didn't have a chance with the guy I liked, because he was dating Halo Ruiko, the most popular girl in our grade- maybe even the school. His name was Ernie, and he was handsome. Floppy brown hair, that covered his left eyebrow, and sea-blue eyes. It was really a dream. 

I grabbed a pencil from my bag and tore a piece of paper from my notebook. I quickly scribbled something down, folded the paper, and wrote Gloria on the front. I turned around, facing Jessica. “Psst, Jess!” I whispered. She looked up, in surprise. 

“Oh! Hi.” She mumbled. I handed her the note, and she glanced at it. Turning around, she handed it to Zara, who reached across the aisle, handing it to Gloria.  Gloria opened the note, secretly, under her desk. She made eye contact.

I faced the front of the room, listing the facts Mr. Edwards was writing on the board about sunscreen.

“One benefit of sunscreen is it can protect you from cancer. Patrik, what else can it help prevent?”

“Sunburns,” Patrik responded. Mr. Edwards nodded.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I whirled around. Jess was holding the note, now with the name 

“Delilah”

Written over the Gloria. I opened the note, hiding it under the desk. 

Gloria, I'm really upset. Tomorrow is the last day of school, and I still haven't had my first kiss. What do I do???

Love, Delilah

Delilah, I'm sorry that you haven't had your first kiss yet. I'm not sure what to do, but maybe we could extend it over the summer? You obviously need it, LOL. Love ya! Glo I groaned. Her idea of funny wasn't funny to me, but maybe it could work. I uncapped my pen, and wrote back. I handed it to Jess and paid attention to the teacher. Against my will, I began thinking about the fact that maybe I wouldn't be able to find anyone to kiss, or I would, but they didn't want to kiss me. I twirled a strand of hair in between my fingers, nervous. Jess tossed the note over my head, onto my desk. I looked at Gloria, annoyed. Gloria, I'm really upset. Tomorrow is the last day of school, and I still haven't had my first kiss. What do I do??? Love, Delilah Delilah, I'm sorry that you haven't had your first kiss yet. I'm not sure what to do, but maybe we could extend it over the summer? You obviously need it, LOL. Love ya! Glo Gloria- Your idea might just work. But hey, it's not my fault everyone loves you. No one loves me. Luv, Delilah

Delilah, I'm glad you think it might work! But you are wrong about the fact no one loves you! I love you! (As a friend, please. Being gay is sorta weird.LOLLL)

Mwah! Xoxo,  Glo

I stared at her message. Does she think that's funny? What is wrong with her? Being Gay isnt bad, is it?

Because even though i'm so fixated on kissing a boy, The person I want to kiss is a girl.
