Fantasy 4: After the Kiss...

“OmigodOmigodOmigod”!!!!!!!  Aeryn was shaking.  “wha- why- !”

Jumbled thoughts raced through her head as she collapsed against the classroom door.  Had he just- kissed her? Really kissed her? Whywhywhywhywhywhywhy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She slid down the door to the ground, replying the moment, her face buried in her hands.  She was so absorbed that she had forgotten about where she was…

“Ehem.”  A sharp voice penetrated her thoughts. 

Aeryn looked up.  “Oh, hi, Mrs. Danon.” 

“Aeryn…”

“Yes?”

“Would you like to explain to us what just happened between you and your boyfriend?”

“Oh, he’s not my…”  Her voice trailed off.  Mrs. Danon was tapping her foot, and behind her Aeryn’s friend Celia was jerking her head towards the desk. 

“Sorry.”  Aeryn muttered, scrambling off the floor and into her chair.  As soon as she sat down, Celia leaned over and (bluntly) demanded,

“What the HELL just happened?”

Aeryn blushed again.  “I don’t want to talk about it,” she muttered, sinking lower into her seat.

Celia observed her with intelligent brown eyes.  “Uh huh.”

“Oh shutup”.  Aeryn glowered at her.  I gave YOU privacy when you had your first kiss!”

“True, but-  Wait, he was your FIRST KISS?”  The shock was evident in Celia’s face as it paled.  “But- I thought you said you kissed that Gabe dude in 6^th grade—“

“I lied, Celia.”  Aeryn rolled her eyes.  “I can do that, ya know.”

“but you SAID--” 

“Said doesn’t mean swear, Celia.  Can we get off this topic?”

Celia rolled her eyes.  “No, we cannot!

“CELIA—“

“Excuse me, Miss Kodama! Miss Dyane!  Would you like to tell the class why George Washington was not at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777?”

Both teens blushed furiously.  “I can’t say, Ma’am,” Celia muttered embarrassedly.

“I thought so.”  Mrs. Danon said dryly. Detention, both of you. See me after school.  Now, continuing on,--”

The bell rang, cutting her off and the room was full of the sounds of scraping chairs and happy chatter as the students headed off to lunch.  Aeryn sighed as she took the pink slip from her teacher. 

This was going to be a long day…
