Prologue
“I think we should really kiss”, Loren whispers at me.
Loren Gomez is my childhood best friend, we kinda live together ever since my family went on a business trip.
She kinda hates her family, so I asked her to temporarily live with me.
“Come on guys, stop being a d**k at my party”, Vanessa said while shaking the can of beer she's holding.
Vanessa Lohan, the cheerleader, the hottest of the hottest in Caster High. At first, she looked like a meanie but she has the kindest heart, she's just a pretty party girl.
“Calli, stop being a virgin Mary, you need to... loose your shits sometimes ”, Max said while drinking the vodka.
This is Max, Maximus Aguirre, his father is Sergeant Major, my father's best friend, we kinda grew up together. But no, he's not my type nor I'm his type. He is gay although he haven't fully come out of the closet, we people knew his open secret relationship with Steven Stone.
“Okey, fine.... I'll do it”, I nervously said.
And I'm, I'm just plain typical girl. I'm Calli Rose, and this party is my party. I'm the new member in the cheerleading team and this Goddess Vanessa throw this for me.
They all clapped their hands and started cheering my name.
“Calli! Calli! Calli!”, they said in chorus.
Loren leans forward to me, enough for me to smell the beer she had.
“Is this really okey?”, I asked her while looking at her whole feature, which is an inch away from my face.
“Just trust me”, she whispers.
I close my eyes and was about to receive the kiss, when the alarming sound of the cops cut us out.
“Looks like my good for nothing neighbors are reporting me, again”, Vanessa irritatedly said.
Holland calmly took all the pills and powders he brought and quickly run all the way to the backdoor.
“You guys, go, save yourselves, I'll handle the cops”, drunk Vanessa said then walks through the entrance door.
Everyone packed their stuffs and run out of the house.
“I think, I know what else is fun”, Loren said, then grabs a one sachet of a blue powder, she then pull my hand.

Park
“Have you tried this?”, she asked talking about the powder she's holding.
She's sitting in the slide while I sit on the bench, watching her play around like a ten year old girl.
“Yeah, No”, I replied.
“Why?”, she laughs.
“Well, why... yeah why... why don't you try taking risk sometimes?”, Loren bitterly said.
She throw the powder somewhere in the park, and sits beside me in the little bench.
“You can't kiss a girl, you can't kiss me, your best friend, why are you so afraid of the world? ”, she said sounding like a complete wasted drunk little girl.
“You know what? Onyx cheated on you because you're boring, you can't do this, you can't do that, you're acting like you're a saint or something, try being a b***h sometimes, Cal, maybe that'll save you and your boyfriend's relationship ”, she said then drinks the can of beer she's holding.
“You're drunk, let's go home”, I said in a calm tone.
“Why don't you try kissing me? Maybe, you know just maybe you'll realize how fun life is, don't be such a d**k”, she said while looking at my face.
She's always like this, whenever she's drunk, Loren is gone, just the beer and the vodka talking, asking me to loosen up, get wasted, and get off my comfort zone.
“We should really go home”, I smiled to her then, stands up and about to carry all the stuff when she pull me close to her.
“Kiss me, Cal, kiss me like K-I-S---”,
The park is field with nothing but the sound of the annoying crickets, chirping everywhere.
Then here I am, I kissed Cal.
Enough to shut her up.
I kissed my best friend.
It wasn't just a kiss nor a friendly kiss... but a kiss that I never thought I'll regret one day.
