Heart to heart: First kiss

Heart to heart: First kiss
SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE
RUNNING PLAY
"My boyfriend and I were hanging out with all our friends during halftime at a school football game, and they all wanted us to kiss. One of them kept having 'arm spasms,' which was really just code for pushing me and my guy closer together. He and I both wanted to do it, but not in front of everyone. So when they turned around for a minute to watch the game, we ran behind the snack bar and kissed. Being a first-timer, I thought [mistakenly] at one point that it was over. So I stopped and moved my head quickly -- and he wound up licking my ear!"
JUST DESSERTS
"I was 14 and I'd had a crush on this guy since the first time I saw him. We'd hung out a couple of times before, and things were going pretty well. One day we were talking outside during lunch when the bell rang. He started to walk inside, and I don't know what came over me, but I just grabbed him by the arm and kissed him! He looked really surprised, since I'm usually shy around guys I like. I was so nervous and everyone was watching -- a couple of my friends even started screaming because they couldn't believe I'd finally done it. Afterward, he just smiled at me and gave me a hug. As for me, I had a smile on my face the rest of the day."
