S is for snogging

Intro1

S is for snogging. Every girl dreams it and every boy needs it. It's a major part of every teens life. Truth is, I've never experienced my first kiss, let alone a snog. So, if I've never had a snog, how can I be giving advice? I'm the 'teen Guru' for our school magazine. It can be questions from clothes & accessories to relationships. It's weird though, I'm giving other people advice about their lives and I don't even know what I'm doing with mine. My life's a mess. My parents split up a month ago, leaving me with a freaky younger brother and a two-timing mum while my dads living in America. And even though I'm hurt inside, I put on a brave face at school and pretend every things OK. I can still manage to give other people advice, but I can't seem to tell myself It's OK to show emotions and that facing reality will have to come sooner or later. So, back to the snogging business. My best friend, Pete, keeps telling me I'm over reacting about not having my first kiss, and that It'll come when the time is right. I just hope that's true...2

"Hey, Crissie, wait up!"3

"Oh, hey Pete, what's up?"4

"Nothing much, just can't believe your moving to America tomorrow to live with your dad. It's so cool."5

Yeah, he's right. I decided it would be better if I left. There's too many bad memories for me to stay. I've told the school mag, so they're looking for a new Guru now. It's kinda sad though. I mean, I loved giving advice. Everybody knew who I was, they all came to me. It was like I was a princess or something. Everybody has signed a card for me, and Pete has got a surprise.6

"Come round to mine tonight. I've got a movie we could watch"7

The school bell rang for home time.8

"OK, see you at 7 then!" I shouted.9

So, at 7, I knocked on his door. 10

"Hey, I brought pizza"11

"Cool, go to the front room, I'll just go and get the movie"12

I sat down. It felt kinda weird thinking this would be the last time I'd be in his house. All those good times we had as kids came back to me. Life was so much simpler back then. I heard his come down the stairs. He had the movie and a box in his hands.13

"What's that?" I looked at him, with a puzzled face14

"Come and look!"15

I laughed and went over to see what it was. He opened it. I was amazed. 16

"I kept all of the stuff we did together as kids. I though you might want it" He said.17

There was tons of photos in it. I couldn't believe what he had kept.18

"Aww Pete! Your so thoughtful!". I looked at him and we both smiled. We kept looking through the box, laughing at some of the things we found. We must have chatted for hours about the the times we had.19

"I'm really gonna miss you" He said20

"I'll miss you too!"21

"We'll still keep in touch, wont we?"22

"Of course we will, how could we not!" I said, nearly in tears.23

He reached into his back pocket, and got out a jewelry box. I looked at him, and he winked at me. I opened it. It was a friendship locket with a photo in of us both.24

"Pete, you didn't have to" I said with a big smile on my face.25

He just looked at me. I put it on, and then he lent over and kissed me. It was perfect. I wasn't shocked or mad at him, It seemed like the right thing to do. It gave me a warm bubbly feeling inside. We both looked at each other but didn't say anything. Pete put the movie on. We cuddled up together. What he said was true, it did come when the time was right. And guess what? I loved it. So, S is for snogging, but K is for your first kiss, and that is way more better than a meaningless snog.26

    This is a really good story! Did this really happen to you, or was it just made up? If it came out of your imagination...keep the ideas coming...this was amazing.

    I like it, alot. When I first started reading it, I thought of those Brit romance books that I've been reading alot lately, but it was cuter. I like how it was short and sweet. Keep writing, this peice was adorable.

    very mature writing

    Oh sweetie this is so good! You write so well you know.
    And it kinda caught my attention me being a Crissy too.
    So many times the first kiss can be awful and you dont think
    you will ever want to do it again.
    This is perfect. Because nobody got hurt.

    This made me laugh! It was really cute. I remember my first kiss, it was nice but so weird. The guy I kissed was really experienced and I had no idea. I remember sitting there and waiting for it to happen, I felt like I was going to be sick cos I knew any minute it would happen and I was so nervous. It was not as glamoros as I imagined, it wasnt as romantic as you read in book or see in Movies, but it was my first and one I'll always laugh at when I remember it. I am not with the guy anymore but we are still good friends. This was a great write! I think you did and awesome job! Take care xxx BlondeAmbition ooo

    When I started reading I was like, why is she worried about her first kiss. I really wasn't and when it happened I hated it. The ending was very sweet, because you are so write, kisses should be meaningfull and I am glad yours was.
    It is a true story right?

    Love D.L.
