Last Kiss

“Maria, are you all packed for tomorrow?” My mom asks when she pokes her head in.

“Yeah mom,” I tell her looking up from the book that I was reading. She stands there for a couple of minutes then smiles at me and leaves. I sigh and put down my book and look around the empty room, remembering all the memories, my dad got a promotion at his job so we’re moving closer to where he’s going to be working. There are some good things about this like I get to meet new people and see new places, but there are only two downsides to us moving. One is that I have to leave my friends, and the other happens to my neighbor and longtime crush Brent.

“Maria, your friends are here!” I hear my dad shout from downstairs. Today is my last day and all my friends are taking me to the amusement park. I go downstairs and see my best friend Lexie, standing by the door talking to my mom, out of all my friend’s shes the only one that knows that Im moving, Brent doesn’t even know and I hope to keep it that way.

“Ready?” Lexi asks with a smile but I can tell that its fake, I return the smile and nod and we walk outside and my smile grows when I see all my friends standing there, especially Brent. We get into the car and drive to the amusement park. When we arrive we get out and walk to the ticket booth.

“Hey,” Brent says once were in the park, I look at him and see the smile on his face and that instantly brings a smile to my face.

“Hey,” I say and look down at the ground, I mentally slap myself, I always do this whenever he talks to me.

“So what ride to you want to go on first?” Brent asks, I look up and look around and then I point.

“That one,” I say pointing at the big rollercoaster that has a lot of loops and twists and turns. I see Brent smile and he grabs my hand and pulls me along with him over to the line. When we get to the line he doesn’t let go of my hand and this causes a blush to rise up on my face.

After more and more rides we rode on the carousel and some others and when it got dark out we decided to go home. When we got to my house I got out and said goodbye to my friends and Brent walked me to the door.

“So, that was fun,” Brent says and I nod.

“Well goodnight,” Brent says and starts to turn away.

“Wait,” I say and he turns around and stares at me, and I did the one thing that I have been dying to do, I kissed him.

Then I turn and go inside. Leaving him standing there.

And that was our last kiss.
