More kids got to homeroom before me today than yesterday. As usual, I sat in my four-desk group and waited for Sera to come. This time, I was a lot more anxious (We learned that word in Language Arts yesterday) to see her. All night, I couldn't stop thinking about that kiss. I wore a long-sleeved, orange shirt with a black Jordan sign in the middle. I was also wearing dark blue jeans and black and white sneakers.

Today, the boy that sits next to me came before me. His shirt had gray and white stripes. And he wore light brown pants and yellow (I think that was the color) boots. Light brown hair shaped like bowl was on his head. Freckles were all over his skin.

Finally, Sera came and went straight into the coatroom. At least she didn't ditch school 'cause of me. My eyes followed her and stayed in the doorway that she went through. She didn't look mad.

She came out wearing a zipped, white shirt with light blue jeans and white sneakers. A white scrunch was in her hair. "Hey, Gabriel, hi, Otis," she greeted.

"Hi," said Otis.

"Hi," I said.

Sera stayed looking at me and smiling. I looked in another direction. As much as I wanted to talk to her about the kiss, I didn't want to do it in front of Otis. He probly wouldn't make fun of us, but it would still feel weird. I think she felt the same way, 'cause she didn't say anything, either.

Recess came. Now was my chance to talk to Sera. When we were in the cafeteria, I asked Jan and Greta to leave us when we got outside. They did, and me and Sera walked close to the fence. Today was colder than yesterday and I walked with my hands in my coat pockets. When we got to a corner that was pretty deserted, we stood together against the fence. She was standing on my left side.

"I'm sorry about last night," I said, not looking at her.

"Sorry?" Sera asked. "Whatcha do?"

"For the kiss."

Now looking at her, I noticed that her face was turning red. Never thought I'd ever see her blush over anything.

"Oh." We both got quiet until she spoke again. "I thought it was nice of you."

"It was?"

"Yeah." Sera was smiling. "Why'd you do that, anyway?"

I looked straight again. Some kids were doing frontflips and backflips in front of others. "'Cause I like you," I said under my breath.

"Hmm?" She came closer and I felt my face get hotter, even though it was pretty cold outside. "And how come you're not looking at me?"

I still didn't look at her. "'Cause I like you," I said loud enough for her to hear.

Sera gasped. I sighed and kept looking straight ahead. I could feel my skin turning red. When I turned my head, she was looking at me with a smile spread across her face. Her hands went to her hips and she grinned even more. My lips shook until I was smiling back at her.

"You mean it? You like, like me?"

I nodded.

"Really?" Her eyes grew.

"Mmm-hmm."

"Yeah?" Her smile got bigger.

"Uh-huh."

"Yuh-huh?" She got closer to me.

I laughed at the goofy girl. She laughed with me. Leave it to her to be so silly at a time like this. I felt a lot better, though. Her jokes would always make me feel better.

I took a deep breath. "Serious. I... I like you, Sera."

"I really like you, too, Gabriel."

"Really?"

"Really, yeah, yuh-huh."

We laughed again.

I looked at her. She had stopped laughing, and was now smiling at me. Her teeth were showing. One of them was missing. Her cheeks would always get dimples when she smiled. I think that's what first made me like, like her.

"Why'd you leave without saying anything last night?" I asked.

"My parents were waiting for me. I wouldn't want them find out that a boy was kissing me. When I told them that I was going to the dance with you, they teased me for going on my "first date". They would have teased me to sleep if they would have saw us. She twisted a finger by her head and rolled her eyes. "They're craaaaa-aaaaa-aaaazy."

I smiled. "So you're not mad at me?"

She shook her head. "No. I actually wanted to kiss you someday."

It was then I noticed how loud it was getting. I looked back and forth. A lot more kids were around us now, screaming and running around. Leaning over, I whispered into Sera's ear. "Could I kiss you again?" That funny feeling from last night came again when I thought about what I said.

Sera gasped and kept her mouth wide open. The nervousness left again when I smirked at her reaction. Closing her mouth, she looked around.

"It's too crowded out here," she told me. "I don't want anybody to make fun of us."

That was true. I wouldn't want anyone to make fun of us either.

"So where could we kiss?"

"Do you think you can come over my house sometime?"

"Like when?"

"Tomorrow? My parents can pick us both up from school."

"Where do you live?" She told me her address. "I'll ask my parents if they could drive me home."

Sera smiled. "Promise?"

I nodded.

The next day, I was standing outside with Sera. Black jeans were on her legs and black sneakers were on her feet. The sun was shining brightly enough to hurt my eyes. And yet, it was too cold for me to be out without a giant, green coat. Both sides of my hood were stuck together over my mouth. I always feel stupid wearing this big coat while everybody else is wearing coats that fit them!

"There he is!" Sera yelled over all the other kids.

Hoping to get out of the cold, I followed Sera to the blue, four-doored car. She opened the back door and got in, scooting over to the left window. I sat by the right window and shut the door. The cream-colored seats were sort of hard.

"Hi, I'm Sera's father, but you can call me Jin," the guy in the driver's seat said without turning around. He wore a black coat with its hood down. The top of his hair was kinda spiky. "Please fasten your seatbelts." We did, and he moved the car. When we got to the first stoplight, he said, "So, you're the lucky boy who took my daughter to the dance."

"Yeah," I said.

"Do you think she likes you, yet?" I saw him smile in the mirror.

"Daa-add!" Sera complained.

The car moved again.

My face got hot when he asked me that. I looked out the window and watched all the houses go by.

"You two are kinda quiet back there. I guess you are boyfriend and girlfriend. I met my first love in school, too."

Sera's father went on and on to tell us about dating Sera's mother at their "prom", whatever that is.

"Race ya upstairs," Sera said. She ran ahead of me before I followed, leaving her father behind.

We were in the hallway of an apartment building. There weren't any carpets on the gray and black floor, so we made a lot of noise when we ran. She was right in front of me. Since I don't live here, I was kinda surprised when she ran straight into the hallway of another floor instead of up more stairs. I jogged after her and we slowed to a stop in front of door 3A.

"I win," Sera smiled, jumping up and down with her hands up.

"Kinda hard to run with a giant coat on," I said.

After Sera's father opened the white door, I followed Sera into her room. It was 'bout the same size as mine, and had a brown floor and white walls; one wall had a Poke'mon: The First Movie poster. A rectangle mirror was attached to the white door. Next to the door, there was a gray dresser. The side of her blue, pokeball-sheeted bed was facing the TV that was on top of another gray dresser.

After taking her jacket off, she hung it in her closet that was next to the door. Under her jacket, she wore a dark blue sweater. I gave her my coat, and she did the same with it. I was wearing a black shirt with X-Men on it.

"We're just in time for Poke'mon," Sera said. She sat down on the bed and turned to channel 11. A commercial about the Men In Black cartoon was on. "Sorry about my dad. I told you he was," she did the thing with her index finger, "crazy."

I laughed at her. "It's okay." I sat down next to her. "At least now I know where you get it from."

Sera's mouth opened wide and she looked like she wanted to hit me for saying that. Softly, she bumped her hip against mine and snickered.

When the Poke'mon song came on, we sang it together and quietly watched the show.

"Do you think Ash and Misty like each other?" Sera asked while the commercials were on.

"Yeah."

"Me, too. Guys and girls always like each other on TV."

Pikachu's Jukebox came on after the commercials. It played "On the Road To Viridian City", one of my favorites. Me and her sang the whole thing together. She can't sing, but I love hearing her voice.

"Can I kiss you again?" I asked.

"Again?" Sera teased. You barely touched me last night.

"Well, I was nervous."

"How come?"

"I was scared you wouldn't wanna be my friend anymore if I told you I liked you. But at the same time, I really, really wanted to kiss you."

"You can kiss me for real now." She faced me and put one knee sideways on the bed. Then she put her lips together.

I did the same. Keeping my eyes open, I moved closer to her. When my lips bumped into hers, I let them stay there. Her eyes were closed and I could feel her breath leave her nose and get on my top lip. After a long time, I stopped.

My first kiss was cool! I felt like I did when I unwrapped a Nintendo 64 for my birthday. My heart beat mad hard inside my chest. I couldn't stop smiling. At the same time, me and Sera licked our lips.

"That was awesome," Sera said with a smile. Her face was redder than I ever saw it. And she runs around a lot during most recesses.

"Yeah," I agreed. "The best feeling ever."

"Wanna try tongue-kissing?" She leaned in real fast and her eyes opened up like she really wanted to.

"I don't know how to kiss like that," I told her. "Besides, that sounds nasty. Sticking our tongues in each other's mouth."

She looked kinda sad, but asked: "If I knew how to get rid of the bad taste, would you try it with me?"

"How can you do that?"

"We could drink something and then kiss." 'Anxious' for another kind of kiss from Sera, I nodded. "Come on." She held onto my hand and walked me to the bedroom door, then looked at our hands and dropped mine. "Sorry."

I laced my fingers around hers again and smiled at her. She looked at me and giggled. Swinging our arms back and forth, we went to her kitchen together.

Her mother was in there, getting something out of the white 'frigerator. She closed it, holding green ice tray in both hands. She wasn't Chinese like Sera and her fath... I mean, Jin. She was wearing a red shirt with black pants.

"Hi," she said to me. "You're the boy from the dance, aren't you?"

"Yeah," I said.

She looked at our hands, which we were still holding. "I see you had a good time."

"Dad told you to say that, didn't he?" Sera said with her hands on her hips.

The lady didn't answer. She just looked at our hands again and smiled. "You two have fun." She walked out.

Sera looked at me and did the finger thing. "She's cra..."

"Don't even think about it!" I said, trying not to smile, before she could finish.

"Fine." She pouted, pushing her bottom lip out. Then she opened the 'frigerator. "We'll drink anything you want."

On the top shelf, there was a half-full gallon of milk, a full gallon of water, two cartons of of citrus-flavored Minute Maid, and a half-full bottle of black cherry soda.

"Black cherry."

Sera pulled it out and closed the door. Then she set it on the counter and picked out two white cups from the bag behind me. She poured some for herself, then for me, and then put the soda back. Not saying anything, she carried her cup out of the kitchen. Holding my soda, I went with her.

"Toast?" she asked, holding her cup out.

I bumped my cup into hers. "Toast."

We sipped our sodas together. I moved mine from side to side in my mouth while puffing my cheeks. Sera looked up and gargled hers. Black cherry dripped down her chin. I almost spit my soda back into my cup when she did that, it was so funny.

"Ready?" she asked me, wiping her neck with her hand.

My cup had a little bit left inside, but I stopped. "Yeah. But I still don't know how to do it."

"Just put your lips like this," she puckered her lips, "and do what I do."

"Alright." I licked my lips and put them together like she had hers. She leaned closer and began to close her eyes. I watched her until her eyelashes bumped into mine and made my eyes close. The tip of my nose touched her cheek when our lips touched.

This time, I felt her tongue bump into my lips. She did it over and over, so I opened my mouth a little and let it in. I kept my tongue on the bottom of my mouth. It kinda tickled when her tongue ran back and forth on my gums. I almost coughed on her when she touched the roof of my mouth.

After a while, I picked my tongue up. On the way into Sera's mouth, it rubbed against her tongue. It didn't taste as nasty as I thought it would, but maybe that's 'cause of the soda. I could taste the flavor of black cherry on her gums.

Her tongue left my mouth and went back into hers. I pulled mine back, too. Next, I pulled my lips from hers. A string of spit was on our mouths, so I wiped it away fast. Both of us were out of breath. My heart was beating fast.

I looked at Sera. Her shoulders were moving 'cause she was breathing so hard. After she licked her lips, I did the same. They only tasted like black cherry, no spit.

"I liked that," I breathed, then smiled.

Sera grinned back at me. "Me, too." Stepping closer, I kissed her on the cheek. Holding onto both of my shoulders, she kissed me back. I kissed her on the lips and tried to stick my tongue in her mouth. She opened it and I felt her tongue go in mine. Then she stopped. "Let's sit down."

We sat mad close to each other on her bed and faced each other.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yeah."

Sera's face went to mine and we started tongue-kissing again. I closed my eyes and hugged her. Her arms went around me and she rubbed my back with one hand. My head moved back and forth. Both of us fell sideways on the bed, but never stopped kissing.

Soon, I felt my dick begin to grow. She was right on top of it, and she was going to feel it! I did the only thing I could think of. I stopped kissing her and sat up. When I did, I noticed that I was out of breath again.

I looked at my lap. There was a sort of triangle shape in my pants. My dick was as big as it could grow.

Sera looked at me and sat up. "What's the matter?"

"I gotta go to the bathroom," I told her.

"It's the door right next to my room."

"Thanks."

Luckily, the door was to my side, meaning I could turn my back on her when I leave. I did and got out of there, trying not to run.

I opened the white door and flipped the light switch. The walls were the same color as sand. The floor was made of little, white tiles. A bathtub was attached to the walls by the white sink. A white toilet with its seat down was by the door.

Putting the lid down, I sat on the toilet with my dick still hard. I had this feeling before, but I don't know why it happened. Sometimes when I was little, I would sleep on my stomach. A lot of times when I did, my dick would get hard against the bed. I sometimes rubbed against the bed, and it felt kinda good. My mother told me not to do it, so I stopped a long time ago.

But I wasn't rubbing it against Sera's bed. Why did it get hard?

All this thinking made my dick get smaller. When it went back to normal, I picked up the lid and flushed the toilet. Then I left and opened Sera's door. She was watching that guy host Slime Time Live. After I closed the door, she looked at me.

"Wanna kiss some more?" she asked like she wanted me to say "Yeah.".

My heart beat faster. I wanted to kiss her so much. But I didn't want her to feel my dick on her. She might get mad and that might mess up our friendship.

I swallowed spit and said, "Could we wait 'til later?"

She looked kinda sad, and got quiet. "Mm-hmm."

I sat down next to her and we watched Rugrats together.

When the commercials came on, I felt something on my back. It moved in slow circles. I looked to the side and saw Sera grinning at me. Her hand was on my back. She leaned closer.

With a smile of my own, I let her lips bump into mine. My head tilted so our noses wouldn't touch. Our mouths opened and closed. Her tongue and my tongue were touching. I realized that we forgot to get more soda, but this didn't taste as nasty as I thought.

She scooted closer to me. So close that our chests almost touched each other. Her knee was laying across on the bed. I stood on one foot while my knee was also on the bed.

My dick got hard again. We were sitting really, really close to each other. Kissing Sera felt so good, I couldn't stop. I felt the top of my dick poking her. So hard that she must've felt it.

Sera stopped kissing me and looked down. With her mouth opened a little, she stared at the lump in my pants. I half-watched the Tarzan video game commercial on her TV and waited for her to yell at me and tell me to go home. Nothing happened, so I looked at her again. Her mouth was closed, but she was still looking at my pants.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

She finally stopped looking and picked her head up. "Huh?"

"I said, 'Sorry'."

"Oh." She looked at it, then at me. "That's okay." She went back to looking at it. One hand went for it, but she dropped it.

I looked at her. "What?" I asked.

She looked at me. "Can I... touch it?"

As you can imagine, my face got hot again. I just nodded my head.

Slowly, she reached out and touched the top. It felt good. A girl never touched me there before. Her fingertips slid down the front. Then they went back up to the tip.

"That feels good," I whispered.

I didn't want her to hear that, but she did. She looked at me, then ran her fingertips down the underside of my dick again, looking at it now.

"I never touched a dick before."

"I never had a girl touch it before," I said. She looked at me and smiled again. She kept moving her hand on my pants. Later, I felt like I had to pee. It came to me mad suddenly out of nowhere. "I gotta go to the bathroom," I said, standing up.

"What do you have to do?" Sera asked.

"Pee." I was by the door now.

"Can I watch you?"

I looked at her like she was crazy. "What?"

"Please? I wanna see how boys pee."

"I, uh, o...kay?"

Sera beamed and followed me down the hallway. She wants to watch me pee?

When we got there, I turned on the light. I stood in front of the toilet and picked the lid up. Sera walked in and sat on the edge of the tub, facing me. Unbuttoning and unzipping my pants, I pulled down the front of my drawers. When my hard dick was out, I don't know why, but I couldn't pee.

I shook my dick up and down, trying to make it soft. It seemed to work, so I kept doing that. When I stopped, I looked at Sera.

Sera was staring like it was a holographic Mew card or something. Her mouth was closed, but her eyes were wide open. For as long as I looked at her, I don't think she blinked at all. She's a girl! Shouldn't this gross her out?

My dick was finally soft again. Now I had to pee. I did, but only a little bit came out. When I was done, I flushed and washed my hands in the sink.

Sera got up and stood next to the red towel that she told me to dry off with. "I never saw a guy pee before. Girls do it way different."

"How do you do it?"

"I don't have to pee right now. I can show you when I have to. Wanna watch me?"

"Watch you pee?" Sera nodded. "Okay, I guess."

I always thought Sera was weird, but this was nuts. We left the bathroom and went back into her room.

"I'm going to the bathroom," said Sera. "Still wanna watch?"

Waiting and thinking about it all this time made me want to. "Yeah."

I followed Sera to the bathroom. She closed and locked the door, and I sat on the bathtub wall. She pulled her pants down first. Then she pulled her white drawers off. When she picked her shirt up, I could see her pussy.

I knew that girls didn't have dicks, but I never actually saw a naked girl before. I never even knew that girls had a hole between their legs; I thought they just had regular skin where their dicks would be. That's what I thought the "pussy" was.

"Come here." Sera said. She sat on the toilet. I walked over there. With her back against the lid, she stood up a little bit. "Can you see it?"

It wasn't so dark between her legs now that she wasn't really sitting anymore. A skinny stream of pee came out of her pussy. After seeing how big a pussy hole is, compared to a dick hole, I thought it would just fall out of her.

"Yeah."

When she was done, she ripped a piece of tissue and wiped her pussy. Then she stood up and put it in the toilet. After that, she flushed and pulled her underwear and pants up.

"We better get out before mom and dad see us together." She turned and faced the door before I could nod.

"That really was way different from the way I do it," I told Sera. "Could you do it standing up?"

"Sort of. It's harder for us to aim. I might hit the seat."

"Oh." I looked at her lap. Just a few minutes ago, I saw a pussy for the first time. And it was my best friend/first girlfriend.

"What?" Sera smirked, closing her legs.

I stopped staring and asked her, "Can I touch it?"

Sera looked behind me and at her closed door. She looked at me and nodded. "Yeah. But I can't take my pants off."

We were sitting on the edge of her bed with the TV in front of us. My favorite cartoon, Dragonball Z, was on Toonami. Scooting backwards, she put one leg to the side so it was far from the other leg. Her back was to the door, so her parents wouldn't see what we were doing if they came in. I moved closer and looked between her legs.

Unlike me, she was all flat down there. No outlines of a dick. Reaching out, I gently touched her zipper line. I only felt the... whatever jeans are made out of. I pressed a little harder into her lap.

Sera felt a little more warmer there than her hands did. I looked at her. Her eyes were on my hand. I slid it up her zipper line.

"Does it feel good?" I asked her.

"A little," she said.

My fingers went back down, almost under her lap.

"Do you think it feels better than what you did to me?" I petted her where her pussy was some more.

She smiled. "I think I did it to you better." Soon, her room started to smell like something was cooking. She smelled it too, I guess. "Stop." I did. "My mom is making dinner. You'll have to go home soon, and mom or dad might come in any minute."

"Oh." I felt kinda sad that I had to stop touching her pussy.

Sera noticed and kissed my cheek. I smiled and shuddered.

She laughed and said, "Could you ask your parents to bring you over some other day?"

"Yeah. Maybe I could get them to let me stay longer."

"I hope so. It felt really good when you... touched me there."

"Felt good when you did it, too. We should do it again next time."
