Chapter 2

Interesting. Me and Sterling are sitting in the Farris wheel carriage. Making out. Never thought I'd see this day come. And it's not every day I let some random football player stick his tongue in my mouth. Maybe I should make it an everyday occurrence. No, stop thinking like that Rebecca, you're not a slut. I pulled my head away from Sterling's face.

"What's wrong Becca?" he asked. He tried to pull me closer but, seeing as close as we already were, he gave up and put his arm around me.

"It's just, I never do this. I'm not that kind of girl. I don't make out with guys I barely know." I looked over at him and stared into his eyes. Man, was he cute. I was on the verge of liking him. I could feel it building inside of me.

"Well let's get to know each other then." He stuck out his hand. "Sterling Moore. Running-back on the high school football team. Seventeen years old. One younger sister named Sydney. Parents divorced. I live with my dad. Sydney lives with our mom. It broke my heart to watch that little girl move out of my house." He got really quiet. His hand was still hanging in mid-air.

I quickly took and shook it. "Rebecca Allen. Never played any sports. Tried Softball, I was scared of the ball. And the bat. Seventeen years old in two months. No siblings. I wish I had some. Parents still together. Wish they weren't. Favorite color is purple. And right now I'm sitting next to an incredibly cute guy." He lifted his head and laughed at this. I decided to let Sydney go for now.

"Well nice to meet you, Rebecca Allen. You're incredibly cute too."

By then the Farris wheel had begun to unload. I could see Casey and Lisa down at the entrance to the ride, looking for me frantically. When we got off of the ride, Sterling's friends were no where to found. What jerks. Ditch him because he was the one that was actually being polite to a lady.

"Thank St Patty's Day, there you are Becca! We've been waiting here for so long we thought you got stolen or something." Casey said this so fast that she was breathless when she got done talking. "Oh hey Sterling. Anyways, we looked everywhere for you and then we almo-wait what? Sterling? What are you doing here?"

"Well I rode the Farris wheel with Becca. And then I walked her to where you guys were and now I'm gonna go. Bye Becca." He bent down and kissed my cheek.

"I'll pick you up at seven tomorrow for a proper date." He whispered in my ear. Then went to find his friends.
