The next day I woke up and I was sure it had all been a dream. It had to have been. The Jordan Catalano's of this world are not attracted to the Brian Krakow's- but no.. there was the phone number h had given me just before we parted ways for the evening. Needless to say, after that kiss, our first kiss, neither of us were able to focus on studying.

He does this thing all the time. He probably won't even acknowledge my presence at school.

Nevertheless, as I polled on my green sweater-vest, I beautiful scenarios were whirling through my head.

My parents don't let me drive my car to school, don't ask me why.. it's impossible to understand anything they do. In any case, as I stepped off the bus I saw Jordan leaning on his red car talking to that Tino guy. He saw me over Tino's shoulder and threw one of his signature grins my way.

I nearly died right there. It was real.

Unsure off what the proper conduct was at this point, I hurried to my first period class in fear that if I talked to Jordan, I would say something stupid and he'd forget that I ever existed.

My morning classes went by without anything particularly spectacular taking place (aside from my reliving that kiss continuously in my mind). Lunch time rolled along and, expecting to eat my lunch in solitude as usual, I sat down at a table to study some physics at the same time.

It would, however, be quite difficult to study now that Jordan's muscular hand was on top of my book. I looked up at the boy sitting on top of my table.
"Hey," he said. It was all I could do to keep my mouth shut. If I spoke now I'd surely ruin things. "You wanna uh, go somewhere?" That was all the persuasion I needed. I packed up my stuff and followed him sheepishly out the door.

He ended up leading me to the bleachers next to the football field where we sat. Not knowing what to say, I opened my bag to eat my lunch and gave him half my sandwich.

"Thanks," he said before taking a big bite. "I love PB&J too."

We sat in silence for a while while we ate. Not an awkward silence, a just-happy-to-be-with-you silence.

I looked over at him and attempted to stifle a chuckle. "you've got some umm.. jam.. on the corner of your mouth."

"Where?" he asked, attempting to lick it off and missing by a long shot.

"Right.. here.." without thinking what I was doing, I licked the purple jelly off his mouth. That was probably the most spontaneous thing I'd ever done.

"That's it. He thinks I'm some kind of freak". I thought as I pulled my face away from his.

Imagine my surprise when he laughed and kissed me!

The second kiss, the rational one.

I didn't think anything could have beat that first kiss, but this one did. When the kiss ended, I daringly inched closer to him on the bench and noticed him staring at something on the field, a curious look on his face.

When I looked down at the field, I saw Angela. She seemed to have stopped in her tracks while walking with Rayanne and Rickie
