I laughed as Josh Green whispered into my ear. He had just told me a joke about a bishop. He and I were walking along the shoreline of the ocean.
"So, Amy, what do you think of going back to my house?" Josh asked me. I always had a feeling that Josh liked me more then a friend, even though we were best friends.
Josh had dark brown hair that came down to just below his ears. His eyes were a beautiful green-blue and his smile was to die for.
I thought for a moment. "Well, what would we do?" I asked.
He kicked the sand with his flip-flops. "I guess we could watch a movie or something..." His voice dropped. I knew what he really wanted to do, most likely it was to make a move on me.
I laughed. "Sure!" I ran ahead toward the parking lot. "Let's go." Josh ran after me, tackling me to the soft sand before I reached the lot. We laughed as he helped me up and walked arm in arm to my car.
After driving ten miles we reached Josh's house. Once inside we went down to the basement which had several sofas and a giant t.v. stocked with all different movies. I was always a sucker for old Disney movies so we put on The Lion King. It was my favorite out of all.
Josh left me for ten minutes and came back with a tray full of popcorn, pepsi, pretzels, chips, and water bottles. I smiled as he sat back down next to me, setting the tray on the table in front of us.
"He even remembered that I love Pepsi not Cola!" I thought to myself, almost saying it aloud.
We continued to watch the movie until it got to the part where Mufasa was killed. I started to cry immediately, for I hated this part. Josh patted my back as I cried into his shoulder. He slowly pulled me into a hug. After a few minutes I looked up into Josh's green-blue eyes. He leaned toward me, our lips were about to ouch when the phone rang. We jumped apart and I wiped away my tears as Josh quickly answered the phone.
"Hello?" Josh's voice was a little high. He kept glancing back at me while he listened. "I don't know, hold on a minute." He turned to me asking, "Amy, would you care if Linda, Steve and a few others come over? We could watch something or.." His voice drifted off. I nodded and got up to turn off the movie.
"Amy, I'm sorry." Josh's yes were a soft green now, I knew he meant what he said. "I hope you don't mind."
"No. It's okay. We could play like Truth or Dare or something." I suggested. His eyes lit up when I said that. I could just see and hear the gears in his mind moving and clicking.
"That would be fun." He said coyly. Five minutes later the others arrived. Other then Linda and Steve I saw a few others I knew from school. There was, Gina and Kevin, and Sammy and Don. I also noticed they were all couples. I told them my idea and they all agreed. We sat in a circle and Steve began.
"Truth or Dare Sammy?" And so the game began. Sammy chose Truth to start off with. Sammy was a shy girl who wore small framed glasses and had straight black hair.
"Ok, What is the worst thing you've ever done on a date?" Sammy blushed a she remembered. She told about a time where she accidently spilled soda on her date and then her pasta.
"It was terrible!" Sammy exclaimed. She turned to Josh and asked him truth or dare. He chose a dare.
"Okay, I dare you to..... kiss Amy." She paused as I stared at her. "On the lips!" She smiled at the look on Josh's face. He looked horrified but then happy as he turned to me.
I scooted over toward Josh and we kissed each other quickly. As I backed away I blushed. I really wanted to kiss him more, and longer but that was not going to happen.
The game continued until Josh's mother kicked them all out except me. She explained that she had called my mother and asked if I could stay for dinner. I nodded to her as everyone said their good-byes and shuffled up the stairs. After they left and his mother went back to the kitchen I turned back to Josh.
"Josh, I want to-" I was cut off by moist lips upon mine. I was shocked but kissed Josh back. His hands on my waist and my arms around his neck, we kissed for a minute more. It felt like heaven and when it ended I felt like it was the end of the world.
"That was wonderful." I said, breathless. I smiled and was ready to continue ut then Kate, Josh's annoying ten year old sister opened the door and yelled, "Joshua! You need to come here NOW!" Josh rolled his eyes and got up slowly.
"Shut up Kate!" His voice, annoyed. "I'll be right back." Josh said to me, as he went upstairs and left me alone on the couch.
"I can't believe this!" I thought. I had known Josh since we were little kids and now that we were going into our Senior year of high school, it all seemed so, so odd. Ever since I saw him playing football last year, it sent chills down my spine. Now here we are, kissing each other.
My thoughts were cut off hen the door opened. Down came Linda. She smiled to me as she walked toward a chair she had sat on.
"Forgot my jacket." And there it was, laying on the old wooden chair. She picked it up and put it on.
"I just asked Josh if he wanted to go to the movies with me on Saturday." Her eyes sparkled. "He said yes and I figured you would want to know. I mean then again, it should not matter to you, it's not like you're boyfriend and girlfriend right?' Linda laughed all the way up the stairs and I could still hear her after the door closed.
I was pissed, and Josh knew it as soon as he came to get me for dinner. I gave him a dirty look and crossed my arms. I wanted to tell him so badly that I liked him but how could I know?
"What?" Josh asked, he looked so innocent. I just rolled my eyes at him and went up to the dining room. I sat and took a sip of my peach iced tea.
"I'm not speaking to you at the moment." I knew that would get to him, sooner or later.
All through dinner Josh kept trying to catch my eye but I just stared at my plate full of food that I was just pushing around. When I was spoken to - by his parents, I would answer but whenever he said something, I pretended I did not hear him.

Another comment from dear me!
Might as well figure out who you all are and just message you
The way this is gonna work is this:
From now on you can write only as much as you want. Everyone has to do this next part, that I already have going, but after that you may end your story anywhere.
You can stop it at any place, and I'll keep giving new ideas until everyone finishes!
The longer your story ends up, the better chance at winning. But that doesn't mean someone who stops can't win!
So, get it?
If not, message me and I'll explain more
I'm so weird.
I love how everything's working out! Keep it up and get writing!
xoxo

Okay guys!
I'm ending it with just these 12 entries, because I haven't gotten enough entries *mumbles*
NOW!
Next in your story you will write about one of the following (or more than one):
You're friends getting into a fight.
They watch movies.
(Phantom of the Opera, Any Disney movies, and a bunch of other bonus. But any movie is fine
Also, bonus if they have fun with their food! Hah.)
One of the friends starts going out with someone and the other friend really doesn't approve, but their advice is basically being ignored until something happens that the other friend is in trouble, but it's too late because the other friends left.
They just talk some while hanging out.
TRUTH OR DARE! Hah. Best game ever. Let em play!
Or make up something. Hah, that was pointless. But I'd love it if the majority was bent on these!
xoxo
Love,
Tay -
Believe me - it IS! I am so going to do more with this once the conctest is over.
So keep your eyes on the look-out!
Mem -
I'm thinking
that there is a length limit for this contest. There is so much you can do with this piece once the contest is over. Different places you could take it. More flesh to add to the bones you ahve here. I bet part of you was itching to finish this right then and there.beginning: 4, language: 4, plot: 4, ending: 4, dialog: 5, characters: 4.
