dreamergrrl gets her first kiss

I’ve been waiting forever to title an entry that… lol. Now that it’s here, I just don’t know where to begin. Perhaps I begin with band camp as we all know and love it? Maybe I’ll start by saying how glad I am to be home, in a house, with a nice shower, really comfortable beds, and no marching required whatsoever.

Going into camp, I didn’t know who I liked more: Nate or Nolan. I figured I probably couldn’t/wouldn’t go for Nate because, well, Aims likes him… plus I think Emma likes him… and it turns out that I’m pretty sure Sarah likes him… So I scratched him off the list relatively quickly. Nolan, on the other hand, just annoyed me. It was horrible… this kid that is in some ways a mortal enemy is the same kid I like. His friends hate my friends… it would just never work. Plus that entire… liking me back issue? I discussed it with Kim, and she agreed that it would never work with Nolan. Bah. Back to the drawing board…

Except, he was just stuck there. He’s the squad leader of squad 11, and I of squad 12. We’re 3 people apart in almost every set, he marches in front of me for parade marching… and we always shared music at sectionals. During on-field practice time, he and Jay would… well… pretty much torture me, as usual. Not really torture, but let’s just call it that. But it felt like Nolan was flirting when he was doing it… and every time I’d see him somewhere, there seemed to be this thing between us. I don’t know… I’m stupid… of COURSE I believed I was just reading into nothing as is usually the case in these matters.

Last night was the sax party (a sax tradition) and the 2nd annual camp dance. We started off in the basement eating pizza and all talking as a section… it was pretty cool and we had fun. I went upstairs and checked out the dance for awhile. I really suck at dancing… but I decided to go downstairs and get there rest of the saxes to come up to the dance. (or just Nolan… but I was telling myself everyone) I go down there and it’s just Nolan, Ian, Dan, and Olivia. At this point I think Nolan cracked a joke about my lack of dancing skills, so I got all upset. He practically chased me down and wouldn’t let me leave until I forgave him. Just to test him (cause I’m tricky like that) I tried to run out several times, but yeah no he caught me. Probably a good sign, but oh well. I just stayed down there and talked to them… it was so much fun anyway. Better than any stupid dance.

Eventually we all headed upstairs to round up sophomores to clean up after the party downstairs. While we were up there, we decided to just wait until after the dance to clean up. Just as we decided to wait, a slow song came on (darn those), so I walked over to a couch and sat next to Ashley in normal loser fashion. And then… Nolan walks up to me, holding out his hand saying, “You know I can’t just let you sit there…” So we danced… at first not so close, and then close. He looked at me and said, “Jay’s not going to like that I’m making friends with the enemy.” Lol… hmm, yeah. We danced for two songs, ending in a sort of hug embrace thing… then the lights came on. Blinding us all, I might add. We then said we should probably round up those people to clean up. Then he said, “Or maybe just the two of us should clean up.” I said that was probably the best idea, so we went downstairs to the basement, where he put his arm around my waist as we walked. *lovely*

And then… he kissed me. A fleeting 2 seconds… a mere peck… but nevertheless, my first kiss.

Later that night, at 1 or 2 in the morning, all the seniors were out at the practice field pranking and spray painting the grass. He’d come over to me and either just talk or… I don’t know… he kissed my cheek once in there… It was all just lovely. But the problem was… this morning I found out about Kathy. I knew he’d been dating her… but I didn’t know they were STILL dating… well I figured they were… but after he asked me to dance AND kissed me… um, hi? Didn’t think so. Apparently they’ve been dating for 4 months, he hasn’t talked to her forever, doesn’t really like her anymore, doesn’t even KNOW her despite dating her for so long… and would rather be with me? He asked if I wanted to give this a try or what… and I said of COURSE I do… but then I brought up Kathy. I’m making him talk to her this weekend. Like NOW. He said we shouldn’t do anything until Monday… yeah good idea. DUH. *rolls eyes* Men.

I was laughing how I thought it was so a West Side Story type of deal… our two groups just DON’T mesh. He was like, “Yeah Jay’s going to be mad at me” (to which I agreed)… he looked at me and said, “But I don’t care if they’re mad at me, because I really like you.” AWWWWWWWW! Ok, did I just die or something? Or are you blind or desperate or just psycho? Because last time I checked… that doesn’t happen to me in my life.

MEG ARE YOU READING THIS?!?!?!?!?!

Thus dreamergrrl got her first kiss.
