Chapter 6
The first kiss is the only real one.
If that were true, then that was fine. I could wait a little. Perhaps I had to. I was 14, he was 14, we were young and naïve, perhaps impressionable among the older ones, just starting to open up to the world around us. Life was good, if only for a short time…
Perhaps, in the time it takes to love someone, and you find yourself open to fantasy, it can be taken away. Perhaps when the sky is blue, it hides its colors of dark red and black. Perhaps reality is all imagination, but who knows. We’re only here for a short time anyway, the n we pass on and no one remembers.. That’s why nothing changes. Deep in my mind, I knew it wouldn’t last, me and him. I only had a short time left… I skipped Phys. Ed that day, to spend time with my newfound interest, Daren. He was kind and sweet.
Life is a fairytale, with princes and princesses, royal castles and rainbows every night under starry skies.
Daren and me went to the Mall during Phys. Ed hours. We bought some candy for each of us to munch on to pass the time. We didn’t want to be apart. Or rather, I didn’t want to let him go.. It would be too much for me at this stage.
This wasn’t a ‘relationship’ I told myself. Daren was a friend. A friend who I liked, and kissed for the first time. This was not a relationship.. People are too much sometimes. Always cuddling and such. If that’s where this, whatever this was, was headed, then I needed to cut it off with him… But I’ll save that for a later day. Just enjoy the moment.
Daren offered me a candy, and I took it. I remember looking it over. It was a round shape, that felt soft, like a feather to my fingers. It tasted sweet. I ate the candy and looked at Daren.
‘Did you like it?’ He asked me.
‘Yes. It was very good.’ I said back to him.
He smiled at me. His blue eyes still shined like the ocean. They were something that I’d remember always. If nothing else, I’d remember his eyes. I noticed that I spoke more when I was around Daren. He was nice. I’d always remember that as well.
Computer Class was next. Daren had Financial Management at this time. I figured the teachers wanted to get us ready while we were still young. Daren and I said goodbye to each other, letting the grip from our hands loosen, even though either of us wanted to go. We had to. It was that simple. And so we did. He looked at me one more time before taking off to his class.
On my way to Computers, I stopped to look back at Daren. He turned the hall to go to his class.
‘Hey, look at the fag-boy!’ Someone said, as they were referring to me.
Once again, I was pushed to the floor by the guilt I had felt before. It hurt me. After letting a tear escape my eye, I shrugged it off and went to class.

Sweet, Josh. I think you won't be able to hide your talent anymore after this story is finished.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Washington Irving
