Chapter 29

What's that feeling you get after kissing your crush for the very first time? It isn't butterflies, no, Luna had sailed past that state of nervousness. She has jumped into pure excitement, the bones in her body moved slightly out of place in unalderated elation.

(Luna feels fufilled as she walks back into the party)

"Ashley!" Luna shouted, in exclamation.

(Ashley hears Luna, but looks away from her, pretending not to have caught a glimpse)

"Come on Ash. I saw you look at me, and glance away when you heard me calling out for you. I'm sorry, okay?" Luna pleaded, as she came closer to Ashley who was lonely as fuck in the party. Ashley was just having her own fun, watching other people have a nice time. If there was one thing her and Luna came up with, it's "you don't have to rely on others before you feel happy. Make your own happi ess when it seems like you're the only one not having fun"

"Wow, you seem to be giving lots of apologies these days" Ashley just wanted Luna to say more. She was enjoying seeing Luna plead.

"I didn't mean to push you away. I love you, that's why. I just don't think we can be friends to that extent anymore" Luna blurted.

(That was definitely not the words Ashley was quivering to hear)

"You should go Luna. Get spanked, to get you in the right senses"

(Luna feels stupid for saying something not nice again, and she just wanted somebody to be happy for her. Her elder sister, Nicole wasn't here, and she only got Ashley, and well, Johnny)

"I kissed Tristin" Luna says without thinking.

Ashley had moved a few steps away from Luna, but as soon as she heard those words, she paused.

"You heard me Ash. Tristin, the dude I always fantasized about. The one I had daydreams of, the dude who always made my heart skip 8 beats whenever I see him. I kissed that dude, and he kissed me back. We made out!" Luna explained, flashing back to the memory of her makeout session with Tristin, feeling every single motherfucking feeling again - the chills, the rush, the excitement, everything!

(Ashley gasps facing backwards to Luna)

"What in the.... I dunno girl!!!" Ashley turns back, hurrying to Luna.

"Oh my god girl! Tell me all about it. Was his lips golden? Oh, did his spittle taste like fresh water, or was it salty. Did it feel like you were in Heaven? Oh please, tell me you felt this. Fuck! Girl! I'm like hella happy for you. Finally, you get to kiss your dream dude" Ashley reacted to Luna's statement of her kissing Tristin, in wild demonstration.

(Luna grins widely. Widely enough to look ridiculous)

"It was amazing Ash. It still is. I mean, I still feel his lips on mine now. His hands left a mark all over my body Ash. I was definitely in Heaven. Do you know what's more thrilling?"

"Of course Luna. The fact that you still feel he is kissing you even till this very moment. I know that feeling girl. Not that I've felt it though, I mean, I just know about it. Good job really! I'm proud of you. Let's leave this party, and head back to our tents. Girl I've missed you so much. You know what? Tell me everything. How did you know it was the right time to lean in for the kiss? How exactly did you summon up enough courage to not care if your kiss was declined? How girl? Talk to me" Ashley inquired.

Ashley is more than a talkative, she is the definition of a garrulous human being, asking too many questions at a time, and always requesting for the tiniest detail. It's a good thing Luna was fond of her even with her chatty nature.

"I would answer every question. Every one of them, but we should relax a bit since campfires are after this party"

One party was all the teachers gave them, so they had to split the time for the party in half. Some hours for partying, and the rest of the hours before four 'o clock for campfires.

*************

(I can't help but fix my gaze on Tristin. He's so cute, with those charming silvery eyes. His body fits perfectly with his face, and physique. Hell, I can't believe someone as hot as this made out with me. He's my first kiss. Oh shit, that was Johnny. No, I won't count that. He bit me some seconds later, so I wouldn't count that. Tristin is my first. Chill Luna, come on. He's looking at you now)

Tonight's campfire was all about folks talking out their fears, especially about what happened in Paradise. They all let it out - the fear, the pain it put them through, what kept ringing in their minds, the anguish, and all those scary stuff buried inside. They got them to the surface, and let them out, so it won't haunt them later.

While folks were doing this, Tristin and Luna kept staring at each other, through the fire. Luna's emotions right now was at its peak, making eye contact with Hot dude Tristin.

"Luna!? Do you have anything to share with us?" Johnny, a member of her campfire friends asked.

"Huh..oh..no no. I'm good" Luna replied, getting back to reality.

"What about you Tristin?" Aidan inquired.

"Trust me bruh. I'm good" Tristin assured.

Their eyes kept up with gazing at each other at intervals, until the camp fire session was over.

(Tristin, and everyone else except Luna gets up to leave)

"Hey Tristin, wait up" Luna called.

"Luna. My Lady. What can I do for you?"

"Come on, Tristin. Don't sound so formal with me. Somewhere more private?" Luna asked.

"Huh. You wanna make out again?" Tristin said, in a slut-ish tone.

"What. No!? I mean it's not that I don't want that. I just would love if we could talk"

(Tristin flashes a smile)

"Okay"

*********

Luna leads the way, and speaks up first on getting to a more private place as Luna described.

"So, about the kiss?" Luna keeps it short and precise.

"You want us to kiss again. Personally, I would want that too" Tristin said, which in some way, disgusted Luna.

"Wait, what the fuck. Why do you keep making emphasis on making out alone?"

"I don't understand Luna. What did I do wrong?"

"I want us to talk about the kiss. The one you and I had some hours ago, during the party, and you keep asking if I want to make out more" Luna almost barks.

(Tristin chuckles)

"What do you want to talk about. I'm listening"

(Luna calms down)

"Well, I was wondering if things would change between us now. Like if we could you know, be together, now?" Luna asks, feeling a little bit of self doubt.

(Tristin grabs Luna's hands, and fixes his fingers into hers)

"Look, Luna. I don't mean to sound rude..." he pauses as Luna interferes.

(Luna interferes)

"Don't. Just don't. I know where this is going. Don't say any more" Luna gets her fingers off his, and turns backwards to leave.
