Aaron
I was a wreck.
Nathan no longer stopped by my window at night.
Feeling down, dumped, and depressed, I decided to go to school drunk one day.
Well, I didn't just go to school drunk- I drank all day. Rum in the morning, more for homeroom, Vodka shots in the bathroom during lunch, and a few beers in the park when I ditched out of fifth period.
I was careful about it though. I chewed gum all day and had Listerine in my locker to cover the smell. I'm also a very sober drunk- in that I act totally fine when hammered.
It was still a stupid idea though. I couldn't concentrate on anything, and when I wasn't holding in laughter (because everything seemed hilarious at the time), I was holding in tears, thinking of the other night.
So then, whilst skipping out of seventh period, I did something stupid. Very stupid. Because I was mad at Nathan for not talking to me. Because I was sad that it ended too fast and too strange. Because I was drunk and saw a cute boy walking toward me.
Aaron was a junior. In the words of a friend, he was "a preppy little rich boy." He was also the quarterback of the football team. I didn't know him at all- just thought he was hella cute.
We were walking towards each other, through the science department’s hallway, when I grabbed him. Without thinking, I grabbed him by the chest of his t-shirt, yanked him into the computer storage closet, and kissed him.
Oh, and it was a glorious kiss. His lips were nice and soft, and his mouth was so gentle. For a moment I think he actually kissed me back.
Before, that is, he suddenly realized I was some random boy, and abruptly pushed me away.
We stood there staring at each other. Me, drunkenly smiling at him, and him, with a look of terror on his face. I don't really blame him though. I mean, here I was, some little freshman kid, practically molesting the quarterback. I wouldn't have been surprised if he had punched me right then.
But he didn't. Instead, he ran out of that room and booked it down the hall.
I thought the whole incident was amusing and exciting at the time, but regretted it later when sobered up. The funny thing is, Aaron and I actually went out soon after that.
But that's a different story.
