"This should do," a girl says to me, motioning to where we are.

We're in the woods next to my school, about a ten-minute walk in. I recognize where we are; it's a small path that leads down to the polo fields further down the hill that my friends always take during soccer season.

"Yeah, I think we'll be fine right here," I try to say coolly, my whole body vibrating in excitement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I smile as I blow out a serpent from my mouth. We both watch as it dances in the air for just a moment before the smoke melts into the air. I hand the pipe to the girl beside me, watching as she gracefully brings the lighter up to the pipe, inhaling the intoxicating drug. My stomach does a flip when she leans her head back and blows out a perfect ring. When the ring disappears she gives me one of her goofy grins and I can't help but smile.

"Damn," she curses as she examines her pipe. "We're almost out."

"That's fine," I saw, my head filled with fuzz. "I'm pretty high anyways." The girl grins at me again, making everything spin even more.

"Me too," She says. "You want the last puff? She offers the pipe to me.

"Nah, you have it," I tell her.

She shrugs and brings the pipe back up to her lips, lighting and inhaling the last of the drug.

"Remember, if anyone asks, our cover story is that we were hooking up in the woods," the girl says slyly to me as we emerge from the woods.

"Yeah yeah, got it," I say obliviously, stumbling and almost tripping for what seems like the 20th time.

I follow her over to the field behind some of the dorms and lie down on a patch of grass in the far corner of the field, hidden by the darkness from the rest of the school. For the next half hour we lie there, next to each other. I don't know what we were talking about, but all I know is that I couldn't' stop giggling at everything she said.

"OK, question," she tries to say seriously in between her cute giggles.

"Shoot," I say when I get my giggling back under control.

"OK, just wondering," she says slowly, choosing her words carefully. "Are you gay?"

I look up in surprise.

"Um, yeah I guess," I mumble. "I might be bi. I'm definitely either one of those I guess, why?"

The girl smiles happily at this and I can't help but to feel my blood rush throughout my body, sending tingles from the tips of my fingers to my toes.

"That's good," she says. "Cuz I've been flirting with you and I was worried you'd feel uncomfortable."

I blink in surprise as I feel my cheeks start to burn up.

"Oh, well, I didn't," I say while trying got hide a smile off my face. "I didn't' even know you were flirting."

"Haha, I guess I could've done a better job with it," she grins, rolling onto her stomach and elbows to look at me.

"I think I'm just clueless," I smile shyly at her. "You'll have to let my know next time you do it."

"Alright then. Just so you know, I was flirting with you the whole time," she chuckles slightly. "I'll make it blatantly obvious; I like your tits."

I stare at her, my mouth hanging slightly open, as I try to process what she just said. Finally, I can't help myself and burst out laughing.

"Well, if we're being honest, I think you're really hot," I confess to her when I finally stop laughing. "And I really like –"

"We should hook up," she cuts me off, grinning that goofy grin again, this time with more sly and flirtation dancing on her lips. "I think that'd be fun."

I sit up and stare at her. "Wait… What?" I can't believe what I just heard.

"Sorry," she apologizes, her face going red a little bit, making her look adorable. "I'm way too high."

We sit in an uncomfortable silence.

"When you say hook up," I finally say slowly and awkwardly. "You don't mean… do you?"

"What? No, no, no, no," she exclaims. "I meant, you know, making out."

"Oh, well," I stutter, searching my mind for words that don't want to come.

"Yeah, that would be fun," I finally say quietly, avoiding her eyes.

The girl flashes me one of her rare full smiles and I feel my heart flutter.

"Gr –" a sound from her boots cuts her off. She growls, sending shivers down my spine, as she pulls her phone out of her boot.

"Shit, my dad's here," she curses, obviously annoyed. "I'm sorry, I have to go."

"Oh, alright," I say, disappointed. "I'll walk you to the front."

We both stand up, wiping the grass off our bodies. We walk towards the front of the school together in silence.

"Well, there he is," she sighs when we see a car, waiting impatiently in the parking lot. "I'll see you Monday?"

"Yeah," I say sadly, already dreading the two whole days where I won't see her.

"I'll see you," she waves as she starts walking towards the car.

Suddenly, as if she forgot something, she stops in her tracks. I watch in confusion as he hesitantly turns back around me and jogs back to where I am.

I gasp as she wraps her arms around me, bringing our bodies close together. My heart beats harder and fast as she leans her face in closer towards mine. I close my eyes as her lips graze against mine. Her lips are so amazingly soft. So this is what a kiss feels like. I feel her start to pull back and I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her hard against me, refusing to separate our lips.

I swear I've died and gone to heaven. There is no way this could possible be happening if I'm alive. It's amazing, so sweet, so soft, so…

"Angela," I hear a voice call my name. "It's seven, time to get up."

I fight my eyes open and find myself back in my bed, hugging a pillow to my chest.

"Ugh," I growl at my roommate. "Why'd you have to wake me up? I was having such a good dream."
