~Chapter 1~

I picked up the papers that had just fallen out of my binder and scattered on the floor, along with a couple of my books. I had ran into someone when I was scurrying down the hallway on my way to English, causing me to drop some of my books and dump my binder's contents all over the hallway. Causing a huge mess they everyone seemed to have fun stepping on. I leaned down to pick up one of my papers and noticed a familiar masculine hand grabbing the papers at the same time as me. HE was helping me. Without looking up I knew who's hand it was. Darren's.

"Here Collin," he said handing me the paper. I smiled stupidly at him and took the papers from his hand. "You probably should get going, you're going to be late," he added. Looking at the small clock plastered to the walls in the hallway, I realized he was right.

He waved goodbye, waving his hands towards me as if he was trying to shoo me of, to make me leave so I wouldn't be late for class. I didn't want to go really; instead I studied him for a moment, taking in the sight. 
We could be twins, if it weren't for our different parents. Darren's black hair was shoulder length and pushed into his face, which gave him an "emo" look. His green eyes reminded me of emerald. He had snakebites, which he got a couple years back. Darren's ears were also pierced and stretched, or as most people would call it "gauged". I didn't have my ears pierced though, but the rest were the same. We had the same black hair, the same pale skin, the same green eyes, though mine had dulled and darkened."

I've had a small crush on him since third grade, when we first met. We're now in tenth grade, which means I've liked him for seven years. I never told him that I liked him, for I didn’t know what he would think. I never found out what he thought about me, and it's been bugging me lately. We're good friends though. Though we don’t get to talk to each other much anymore, because of school, which is saddening. He also started hanging out with other people lately. 

I caught up with Darren later. 

"Hey Collin, I was wondering if you would like to hang out tonight?" he asked, wrapping his arm around to the back of his neck, making him look a little shy. He was asking me to hang out with him after school! Oh my god! I was baffled at first. I mean we have been good friends since we were little, but the only time I really hung out with him after school was when we were like five and had silly little birthday parties. 

'Keep calm' I tell myself before answering him. "Yeah sure," I replied hoping he didn't hear the excitement in my voice.

I've been to his new house one other time, for a small party type thing, so I didn't need his address.

~Chapter 2~

It was around seven in the afternoon when I arrived. I slowly walked to the front door and knocked on it. I didn't have to wait long before Darren opened the door. He had a big smile that seemed it would be uncomfortable if he smiled any bigger. I gave him a smile in return, but only a small one though.

He waved his hand inside, like to tell me to come in. So I did. The hallway was large. The ugly olive green walls clashed with the nice hardwood floors.

Darren started to walk into a room, so I followed quickly so I wouldn't loose him and be left behind. Only to be forced to find him in his own house. 

This must have been the living room by the looks of it. A small black couch sat in the middle of the room, along with a large flat screen TV in front of it. 

"So… Darren… What you want to do?" I asked him. We hadn't made any plans, only to hang out. 
He ran over to me and grabbed my shoulders.

"Well to start… I want to do this," he said. What did he mean by that? 

Before I could say anything a pair of lips were pressed against mine. I could feel my eyes widen. I wasn't quite expecting this. His lips were soft, sweet. They tasted like cherry Chap Stick. 

When he broke the kiss he placed his face in his hands and took a step back.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I'm so sorry Collin! I don't know exactly why I did that"

"Don’t be," I replied, wrapping my hands around his neck. He removed his hands from his face and I kissed him. I didn't quite know what I was doing. I never really had my first kiss, ever, well until now, but the kiss seemed to come so naturally. I was almost shocking. 

It was sweet and careful at first, but then it turned into a more ferocious and passionate kiss. 

Darren caught ahold of my hand from behind my neck and broke the kiss. He pulled me towards another room, pulling me along with him.

~Chapter 3~

I laid next to him in the bed, his arm wrapped around me, pulling me in close. I felt the warmth of his soft skin. Comforting me, Holding me tightly. It was satisfying knowing I was safe in his arms. My body was completely naked along with his. Darren was fast asleep, which I knew for a fact, with him snoring and all. I kept my eyes shut to make it look like I was sleeping, but it wasn't worth it, my body wasn't letting me sleep anymore. I turned over to look at him. His features had a soft expression; he was so cute when he slept.

I noticed the tattoo just above his right breast. It had the saying 'No lie, just love.' I didn't know why he got it, but it was cute. Thinking about it, I could see why he had gotten it. It was the truth. 

He shuffled around a bit, startling me, and making me jump. I could see the smile spread across his face. 

"Morning sleepy head," I said in a joking manor. I smiled back at him and gave him a quick kiss.

"Hey Collin, I have a question."

"Yes what is it?" I asked him.

"Does this mean we're dating?"

"Are you asking me out?" I said in a bright tone.

"Maybe," he said, teasing me a bit. 

"Of course I would go out with you," I said in a small voice. 

I buried my head in his chest, and he wrapped his arm back around me. I feel back asleep in his arms.

~Chapter 4~

It was a Saturday, making it easier to sleep in. So we did. 

When I woke again Darren wasn’t in the bed. He must of got up earlier. I checked the clock. It read 12:00. Pulling the covers off of me, I got up and pulled on a pair of boxers. I walked out of the room, not caring that I was only in my underwear. 

Darren was standing against the fridge when I walked in. he must of heard me coming. I was kind of dragging my feet a little, so I could understand how he heard me. Darren had put on some pants when he got up apparently.

He looked at me like I was crazy. I realized that I was only wearing underwear, but such didn't really bother me. 

"What?" I asked, joking around with him.

"Ah, nothing," he replied. He gave a small laugh. "So… Collin… what do you want for lunch?"

My stomach growled at the thought of food. I didn't quite know what I wanted though. 

Darren's hair was quite all over the place, so I walked up to him to fix it. Instead he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me, I kissed him back.

When we broke the kiss I smiled at him and gave a small laugh.

"What was that about?"

"I don't know. You just seemed kissable at the moment." I laughed at this and gave him a small kiss. "Now… about food. What do we have?" He turned around and opened the fridge to look what was inside. 

~Chapter 5~

We ended up eating waffles, because there was nothing else to eat. 

I now sat next to him on the couch. Darren was flipping through the TV channels trying to find a show to watch. Finally he stopped and started watching a show I've never even seen. We sat there for a couple minutes just watching the show together. 

Suddenly Darren moved towards me a bit and bumped my arm, making it seem like he did it on purpose. I wasn't expecting it and it caused me to jump a little. I looked over at him and he was looking around the room
