Long Time No See

I guess it's been a long time since I have posted the rest of the story.  So I will get right to it!

Part Ten

After coming into the house from being out too long in the car, and the lights going on and off, I knew that the lecture would be coming.  I came in and lucky enough Mom was the one that approached me with--" Never stay in a parked car with a boy for a long time! What will the neighbors think?" So now I had to worry about what the neighbors were thinking?  I had already noticed the curtains moving when Alan and I were in the carport. Who else was spying on us? The lecture didn't last too long and I was thankful for that.  I didn't let the lecture dampen my spirits about my evening "with the most wonderful boy there ever was."  I flopped on my bed on my back and went over the evening in my mind, trying to keep to memory everything that had taken place.  I couldn't help but smile while I was recalling. My first real kiss.  Girls always dream about who will be their first kiss.  Now I didn't have to wonder anymore.  My date with Alan was the best time I had ever had I thought, right up there with the evening when Alan had first taken me home from the dance, but tonight was better because I had kissed the boy of my dreams.  The euphoria lasted for a few weeks, but then it began to wane because I hadn't received any phone calls or contact of any kind for weeks.  Then my mind began to wonder if maybe my time with Alan had just been a one time shot, kind of like "kiss 'em and leave 'em," kind of thing. The summer moved along and was very boring and uneventful, and soon school would be starting.  I felt very deflated, sad, and a bit angry about not hearing from Alan the rest of the summer.  I was worried about how my first day of school as a Junior would be and what my reaction would be when I ran into him.  

I went to school feeling very apprehensive.  As I was walking the halls (by myself as usual) before school started, I saw Alan surrounded by all of his football buddies, the popular crowd, in the student lounge.  I walked by and we made eye contact, but I just kept on walking.  There was no way in heaven I was going to walk up to Alan and start a conversation with all those football players hanging around.  I was just too shy to do that. First period went by, my stomach was in knots.  After first period the school had planned a student assembly to start the new school year.   After first period I went to my locker, I was by myself, then all of a sudden he was standing there right beside me.  "Oh my gosh," I thought!  Alan asked if I would like to sit with him at the assembly.  "Are you kidding," I thought to myself, "yes, yes, yes," my mind was saying.  We walked to the auditorium together,  I was so nervous my heart was pounding.  We watched the assembly, I remember that I hardly paid any attention to what was going on in the assembly.  I was thrilled to be sitting next to Alan and then --he took my hand.
