“Your girl?” I choke out. I know my eyes have to be wide as saucers.
“Of course, my girl. Do you think I tell any girl I love them? I meant what I said, Soul. Did you?”
“You know I meant it!”
“Well then, that makes you my girl, and I am your boyfriend.”
“Gabe,” I whisper but I know he heard it loud and clear.
“Yes, babe.”
“I can’t believe this,”
“Believe it. And since we are together, that means you and I are going to my prom this year, so start planning for it.”
“Prom!” I practically screech.
“Yes, prom,” he says, grinning at me. I sit there soaking in everything that is happening to me in a short time. We talk about prom, and school since it’s his last year, and I still have a year before I graduate. We made a plan on keeping in touch better and he promised me he would get a job and buy a car so he could come see me on the weekends. We are lying on our pillows under the blanket facing each other with a blanket of stars overhead. Suddenly he pops up and turns to grab something. There is flicking, and I sit up to see what he has that is making the noise when he turns around with the cupcake, with a lit candle in it.
“Happy birthday, Soul,” he says, holding out the candle to me. “Make a wish and blow out the candle.”
I close my eyes, make my wish, and blow out the candle.
“I’m sixteen now,” I say excitedly.
“You are,”
We shared the cupcake and lay back down, it was late, and we had a full day of activities, plus we had to pack and clean our cabins, and the kids had to clean their sleeping quarters. I expected to see my name down to help the youngest clean their sleep quarters, but to my surprise, it was assigned to Melinda. I do not know what my sister said to Ebony but whatever it was it was effective. She stayed as far away from me as possible and so did her cronies. My eyelids feel like there are weights on them, I have been fighting to stay awake, but I am losing the battle, and it looks like he is too.
“Aaahhhh!” I scream as I am startled awake by the thunder that just cracked through the silence. “Hush!” I yell at him while he lies there looking at me, laughing.
“I’m sorry, but you woke up scared, fighting and trying to run, aren’t you supposed to have one response to stimuli? You know fight or flight, not fight and flight,”
“Hush, aah!” I scream out again when thunder sounds again. It is so loud it sounds like a collision is taking place in the sky.
“Come here, baby. I’ll protect you,” he says, and I am scrambling in his arms before the last word is out of his mouth. That’s when I knew I messed up. He brushed his lips against mine in a light kiss, before kissing me again. What started as a comforting kiss turned into us spiraling out of control. In just a few seconds, the thunder is forgotten as he kisses me senselessly.

CHAPTER5
Gabriel
I know I should stop, that things are getting out of control, but she feels so good in my arms, and she tastes so good on my tongue that I can’t seem to bring myself to stop. Instead, I move full steam ahead, “I have to stop, Soul, or I am not going to be able to stop,” I plead with her, half hoping and half scared she will tell me to stop, instead she opens her mouth and says the best and worst thing ever.
“I don’t want you to stop.”
Six words, six words changed everything. Before I knew it, I was lying on top of her. I have no practical experience with this stuff, but I have friends who have talked extensively about sex, and I may or may not have watched a porno once or twice in my life.
“Soul, can I? I mean, I want to be your first and I want you to be mine. Can we?” I ask.
“Yes, please,” she says immediately, and I know I am not alone in the feverish need building up inside of me.
“I, uh, I don’t have protection. Our parents will kill us both if I get you pregnant.”
“My bag, check my bag,” she says, frantically pointing to her forgotten backpack.
Grabbing her bag, I unzip it with shaking hands before reaching in and finding the condoms. I tear off a foil square, ripping the package open and rolling it over my hardness. My friends and I stole some condoms from the health class teacher so we could go home and practice putting them on. We didn’t want to look like fumbling idiots when the time came, so I slid the condom on with ease. It took probably fifteen minutes but it was the best fifteen minutes of my life. I collapse on my back, looking up at the stars twinkling before turning my head to her.
