            Grabbing my gear, I walked out of the locker room in a daze. I have just been considered for a full-ride scholarship to OSU to play soccer. My mind was turning, thinking of the possibilities that this could lead to. Still in a daze, I walked out the door and into the parking lot where the only car was Adam’s black charger.

            He was leaning up against it, his arms folded across his chest, and one foot kicked back resting on the car. When I got within a foot from him, I dropped my bag and looked at him.

            “What’s on your mind?” he asked, as I just stood there.

            “You won’t believe this, but Coach Martin just told me that the soccer coach from OSU came and talked to her today. He wanted to offer me a full-ride scholarship to go and play soccer for them,” I said with excitement.

            “But what about Bowling Green? I thought that’s where you really wanted to go,” he said looking down at his feet.

            “I know that we planned on going there, but I don’t know if I could pass this opportunity up Adam. A chance like this only happens once in a lifetime. I wanted to go to Bowling Green because I could actually afford it. But I was just offered a full-ride scholarship. I don’t know what to do,” I said frustrated as I leaned up against his car next to him.

            “I think that you should accept the offer,” he simply stated.

            I stared at him with shock. “I thought that you would be against this Adam. After all, you and I said that no matter what we would attend the same college. And you were already decided on Bowling Green.”

            “That can still happen,” he said while grinning widely. “Today coach talked to me and said that OSU was talking to him about offering me a scholarship to go there for track and cross country. It wouldn’t be a full-ride like yours, but it would cover about ¾ of my costs.”

            “Really? That’s such great news!” I said as I pulled him in for a hug.

            Adam returned the hug while lifting me off the ground and spinning me around in a circle. Slowing down, he set me gently on the ground but kept his hands around me. We just stood there like that for who knows, staring into each other’s eyes.

            Suddenly, I don’t know who engaged it, but our lips crushed together. My hands moved on their own accord to his hair and began playing with it. While my fingers were running through his hair, his hands were tracing soft circles on my back. Feeling him softly bite down on my lip, it was if I was broken out of a trance.

            I pulled away, slightly panting. “So, it looks like we’ll both be going to OSU,” I said while backing away, trying to change the subject.

            “I guess so, if you are ok with it,” he said sounding unaffected by the kiss.

            “Of course it is. I wouldn’t want to go if you weren’t going to be there with me,” I replied while picking up my bag of gear.

            “I guess that we should be heading home then,” he said as he walked around to the other side of the car.

            “That sounds good,” I said in a daze.

            Unlocking the car, he slid into the driver’s seat while I put my bag in the back of his car, and then sat in the front. The ride home was silent, but it wasn’t one of those awkward silences that you usually get after kissing someone then try to act as if it hadn’t happened.

            My thoughts were lost on the kiss. Adam was a hell of a kisser. I couldn’t help but wonder how he became so good at it. Since he’s never had a girlfriend, how could he practice that skill and become so good? Before I knew it, we were pulling into Adam’s driveway.

            I put my hand over his to stop him from getting out of the car. “There’s something that I’ve really got to know Adam,” I said while staring down at my feet. “How did you get to be so damn good at kissing?” I said finally looking over at him.

            Adam just raised an eyebrow at me and laughed. “Come on Dev. Even though I’ve never had a girlfriend before, it’s not like I’ve never been kissed. I’ve been to many parties and played kissing games. Hell, I’ve even gone to a club or two and made out with some random girl.”

            I blushed as I opened the door and stepped out of his car. Silently, I made to grab my stuff and shut the door. Before I could take off, Adam got out of the car and was staring at me.

            “So you really think that I’m that good of a kisser?” he asked with hope.

            “What does it matter?” I stammered, staring back at him.

            “Trust me, it matters,” he said coming around to stand in front of me.

            “Why? So if I told you that it sucks, you would go out and practice some more?”I asked laughing while crossing my arms.

            “You offering?” he said while taking a step closer to me.

            My body let out an involuntary shiver. The memory of his lips on mine not even 20 minutes ago made my heart speed up. I wanted so badly to just pull him against me and have him kiss me senseless. But I had to keep myself in check. Adam was my best friend, and we are only pretending that we are dating, not the actual thing. So it would be really bad to get attached to his kisses, and how it made me feel.

            “Maybe I am,” I whispered into his ear. Backing away, I gave him a quick wink and turned to head towards my house.

            Before I could even take a step, Adam put a hand around my wrist, stopping me from going any further. I turned around, only to be greeted by his puppy dog eyes.

            “What? I don’t get a goodnight or goodbye?” he said pouting.

            “Fine, good night Adam,” I said as I turned around, but he didn’t let go of my hand. “Do you think that I could have my hand back, please?” I asked pouting.

            “No,” he stated while lightly tugging on my hand.

            “But I really need my ha-,” Adam tugged me against him and cut me off by placing his lips on mine.

            I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him closer to me. He backed me up against his car and leaned into me. The moment felt perfect, I never wanted it to end, but another part of me was screaming. Screaming that this was wrong, Adam is my best friend and I mean nothing more to him than that. This kiss would be nothing more, just a kiss, that was really damn good.

            A vibration from my pants pocket made me break the kiss. Looking at the caller ID, I saw that it was the parentals.

            “Hey,” I said into the phone as Adam backed away, looking downtrodden.

            “Devon, where are you? Your father and I are getting worried. Your car was here when we got home, but you weren’t. The game ended close to an hour and a half ago. We thought that you would be home by now,” my mother’s voice erupted into my ear.

            “Mom, everything is fine. I’m over at Adam’s right now. He drove me to school today and stuff, and he drove me home from the game. We just got back,” I said as I rolled my eyes.

            “Why did Adam drive you to school? Is your car broken? Or have you finally done the sensible thing and started to car pool?” she started to ramble.

            “My car is fine. We just decided to ride to school together. I’ll see you in a bit mom,” I said as I hung up the phone.

            We stood there in silence, partially awkward, but it was also partially peaceful. “So, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then. Goodnight Adam,” I said as I gave him a tight hug, picked up my bag and then retreated over to my house.

            “Good night Dev,” I heard him call after me.

            With a wave of my hand behind me, I trudged up the steps of the porch and headed inside the house. I had barely taken my shoes off when I was immediately enveloped in a hug.

            “That was a great game you played out there. I’m glad that we got to see it,” my dad said, beaming down at me proudly.

            “Thanks dad,” I said giving him a hug.

            “Anything exciting happen today?” mom burst in.

            “Actually, something did happen today. Coach Martin told me that the soccer coach from OSU was interested in giving me a full-ride scholarship to play for them,” I said as I set down my bag of gear.

            “Oh honey, that’s great news,” Dad said giving me another hug. Yes, I am daddy’s little girl, and I’m proud of it.

            “That’s great sweetie, but I thought that you and Adam had decided on going to school together, so you were going to Bowling Green,” mom said worriedly.

            “That’s all taken care of. Adam was also offered a scholarship to OSU from their track and field coach to run cross country and tack for them,” I said happily.

            “Give Adam my congratulations next time you see him,” dad said while patting my back.

            “That’s great. I always knew that you two would never be separated. Bonnie and I even said it from the start. There is no way to separate these two. Not even college can do it. I have a good feeling about you two,” mom said waggling her finger at me.

            What is it with everyone and wanting Adam and me together? It’s so weird. I just rolled my eyes at mom and let out a silent sigh of frustration.

“That’s nice mom, but if you’ll excuse me, I would like to finish off the little homework that I have left to do and then go to bed. Night mom, night dad,” I said as I gave them each a hug and went up the stairs to my room.

            After opening my door and flipping on the light switch, I shrugged out of my clothes and into my pj’s. I made my way over to my desk while putting my hair up in a bun. Sitting down at my desk, I turned on my computer and worked on my English paper. It was due next week, but I like to work on it for about an hour each night.

            I was unable to keep my mind focused on my paper. My thoughts kept drifting to Adam, and those two kisses. Why did kissing my best friend feel so right? I liked Justin, this wasn’t supposed to be happening!

            We’re only pretending that we’re going out, so I thought that the kisses would be kind of, well, you know, fake. But instead, they felt so damn real, just about melting me to the core. It was making me confused, having these weird thoughts about him. There were thoughts of him and me together as a real couple. These thoughts of mine really needed to stop, before I get too attached, and someone ends up with a broken heart.

            Climbing into bed, I pushed all thoughts of Adam and me out of my head, and made way for thoughts of Justin. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
