Tyler's thoughts:
The first day of 6th grade…
Some kid said something about being a good kisser and I don't really know why,
but I challenged him to prove that he was better than me…
Ryan & Tyler:
*Sitting on blanket by the fire
Ryan:
I don't think you noticed…
Chris was really upset as soon as things started getting planned.
*Tyler(12) whispering with a group of three other boys
*Chris(12) scowling while hearing what they were talking about
Ryan:
*unemotional face
When you marched off to kiss that first girl everyone's eyes were glued to the action,
looking excited and nervous, worried that an adult would catch us.
*A bunch of excited kids
*Chris (12) fists clenched at his side, a wrinkle on the bridge of his nose and eyes narrowed
Ryan:
Everyone but Chris.
He looked like he was going to cry.
He looked like he was fighting with his own body to stay in the crowd and watch.
*Tyler (12) with his arm being raised in victory and a big smile
Ryan:
After you passed by him with a big grin from being named the victor he ran off
*Chris (12) running away from the crowd with his eyes open and tears in the corners
Ryan
I followed him until he finally stopped…
He was so upset he was crying and gripping his shirt in front of his chest
*Ryan (12) chasing and watching Chris (12) slide down a wall with tears in his eyes
*Chris (12) blubbering and sobbing
Ryan:
He kept saying he thought he would be your first…
Tyler:
*Stunned
*Sad
I wish he had been… I wish that he was my first everything…
Ryan:
*Sad smile
Well… now you know how I figured it out.
Tyler's thoughts:
She must've had a crush on him if she was paying that close of attention to him all those years ago and chase after him…
She became friends with both of us though…
Bailey:
*Walking out of cabin with baskets on each arm full of food and s'mores supplies
*Big smile
*Sets it down beside Tyler
*Sits down next to Tyler
Tonight I have prepared a feast of homemade sliced watermelon, pasta salad, each one of your specifically favorite sandwiches, and for dessert: S'mores, plus whatever candy you want instead of chocolate .
*Turns to Ryan with a pitiful look
I've been toiling away in the kitchen for what feels like hours.
I deserve some kind of reward.
Ryan & Tyler:
*Roll eyes
*giggle
*Smile
*Hug Bailey
THANK YOU!
Bailey:
*Squished by his friends
STAHP!
It's hard to breath!
*Hug released
Bailey:
*Smirks
So,
while we wait for them to finish their game before we dive into the carefully prepared meal I have brought back from the deserted island of the kitchen,
how about we catch up a little.
*Bright smile
Tyler's thoughts:
Oh no…
Bailey:
*bright and innocent smile
So Ty Ty.
Who's the Top?
