First Kiss

Suffocation can result to light headedness, emotional discomfort, and in extreme cases brain damage. None of which I would relate to a passionate kiss. The air was hot with static on a life changing night. With every step I took currents ran through my body. My elated best friend, Marissa, shook the night with her exuberant smile, almost calming my senses. "You know it's not every night a girl gets her first kiss," she said …

…and walked back to the party on the verge of tears. "It didn't look like that in the movies!" I said to Marissa who was trying to comfort me, "I followed his lead and he suffocated me with his mouth!" She just smiled, wrapped me in a blanket, and gave me a hug. "Just because it's your first time, doesn't mean it's going to be the best time," She stated. With that, we fell asleep.
