Coloring Outside The Lines
Flashback
I watched from the porch a Liam went over to greet the new neighbors, mother said they moved from Ireland.
"Go meet them. They have a boy your age." My mother told me.
"Another friend for Liam..." I replied quietly., so she didn't hear. There weren't any girls that lived in my neighborhood. There was only boys. Any other girls were teenagers or babies.
I looked up as I heard Liam yell my name. He was running over with a boy.
"Jasmin, this is Niall. He's our new neighbor." He said. I nodded and faked a smile.
"Nice to meet you Jasmin." Niall said with a funny accent. I cocked my head.
"You sound weird." I said. Niall shook his head.
"No, you're the one who sounds weird. Everyone in Ireland has an Irish accent." He replied.
"Well welcome to Holmes Chapel. Everyone has a Britsh accent here, except for you." I said with a grin
The three of us laughed. We looked over as three more boys ran over. They stopped as they got close.
"Uh. We wanted to say hello to the new kid, but his mum said he came over here. " He turned towards Niall. "Hello, I'm Louis." He greeted. He turned towards the shortest boy. That's Harry." Harry gave a smile thay flashed his dimples. "And over here is Zayn." The boy named Zayn just looked up, ge was obviously very shy.
*Three months later*
Liam and I were invited to a sleepover at Niall's house. Right now it was 9:58 and we were all tired. Us 6, but instead of going to sleep like normal kids. We played Truth or Dare.
"Niall, Truth or Dare?" Harry asked with a cheeky smile.
"Dare." Niall chose Dare because we always laughed at his accent when he said Truth.
"I Dare you to say the number of your house."
"Guys, don't laugh..." Niall warned us. We all nodded, knowing we'd laugh anyway. Niall took in a deep breath, "Turdy-seven ..." As always we start laughing.
"Fine! Jasmin, truth or dare."
"Dare." Because I was a badass.
" I dare you to kiss Louis!" Everyone stops laughing and Louis and I stare at each other.
"You gotta do it... It was a dare." Zayn said. He didn't really say a lot. But when he did it was always wisdomful. Or whatever.
Louis and I leaned forward, our lips met for a couple seconds before we both jumped back.
"Okay guys, that's enough truth or dare for tonight. Go to sleep." Niall's mother says, unable to see us but able to hear us. We were in a blanketfort and used a flashlight for light. We shut off the flashlight and fell asleep. I laid there awake for awhile thinking about my first kiss. Did it count because it was a dare? Or because I was only 8? I pulled my stuffedpanda close to me and falling asleep.
That was ten years ago...
