I've been thinking about the first time I ever kissed someone (that I remember) and I realized that it was with some girl I might not meet unless I move into a drastically different neighborhood.

It was the winter of 2016 or somethin, I was the kid who didn't really talk to people unless they were a friend or family member. My family was living in a very "bad" neighborhood if you looked at it from a financial standpoint but to my parents it was a rich center piece for my future self. I never knew that most of my first would be done in that house/neighborhood.

I was walking around with my 2 friends: Abby (male) and Xavier (male). We had known each other for close to 6 years (to this day) and we knew almost everything about each other except for a few family secrets (will be addressed in a different post).

The three of us had originally planned to hangout at an abandoned house cause those were fun when it's just you and 2 bros. I honestly never knew I would find something there that would change my way of thought to this very day.

We get to the abandoned house after walking by the nearest trap house. In this neighborhood trap houses were pretty regular things until they get too known. I mean that if too many people (like 20s or 30s if your in a bad neighborhood) know the drug spot then the police will start coming. I wouldn't say that I know what the inside looks like but from the quick peak I would take at the visitors I would know that the house was something that shouldn't be explored unless you were looking for a balloon, looking to sell, or you wearing a badge.

We pass by the traps to get to our real goal; a old abandoned home. This wasn't like any old abandoned house because it was there for a LONG time. Like, there's that one house in the neighborhood that no one goes to cause it went through practically everything; raids, people moving in, people moving out, being burned down, being rebuilt, people stealing from it, growing moldy, and etc.

My friends and I start to walk up to the house cause we feel that feeling of getting that random toy from a vending machine thing at the salon or grocery store, ya know? It was like when you're going to the store with your aunt and you see that crane machine that has this dispenser right next to it that just gives out those small plastic cartoon characters like small pikachus and stuff.

Sorry, back to the topic.

Me and my friends make it up to the front door and I shit you not, the front door just swings open and we hear screaming.

You know me, I'm already back home laying down. Just kidding.

Abby ran as fast as his African ass could take him (he's actually african like im not jokin. hes from nigeria and hes got like best of his class and hes going to butler university.......dudes smart), Xavier took hold of his fat like Cinderella with her dress and he just bolted from the scene, and finally you have me.

I'm just standing and I thought I peed a little.

My body went ridged but I swear to fuckin god I could hear giggling. So as any black 15y/o would do, I decided to look inside of the house since the door was already open.

To the surprise of me, Xavier and Abby we see 4 girls just laughing their asses off.........people quick side note these girls are 15 or 16 I cant really remember but just know Im recounting my memory of this event not creating this shit up and im telling you this so i dont get arrested.

Me and the boys come back and stutter our way through introducing ourselves. The girls introduced themselves next but one of them caught my eye; lets call her Brianna.

Brianna was a light-skinned girl that had brownish black hair, hazel eyes, a smile that made me cringe but in a good way, and whenever I'd take a quick glance at her should would look back at me then we both turn our heads the other way.

The 4 girls and the boys slowly became more acquainted so we decided that we all should split up and just explore. For some reason, the girls decided to team me, Brianna, and girl A together.

After a while of just walking around girl A says, "Hey, Imma go check how everyone else is doing." So she leaves and now its just me and Brianna in a room upstairs. The room had 2 windows, one was barred while the other wasn't a window but more like a hole that was at the side of a building.

The atmosphere in the room got pretty solid cause we were both just standing there looking at the walls.

Brianna spoke up and said," Sooooo.....do you watch anime?"

Gosh damn, did my heart almost quake? I was so happy that she cut the atmosphere that I forgot her question so I asked her to repeat herself and to my joy, she did.

I said, "Yea but only certain stuff." She slowly started more conversation with me to the point of were both just giggling at how bad Sword Art Online was. I guess neither of us expected to have anything in common with each other cause by the end of that little giggle session we were both sitting on the floor.

The silence started to take back over but this time it wasn't solid like last time. This time it was like really watrey jello from kroger.

I decided to be the pro champ that day and put my hand in top of her hand.

I expected a flying knee kick to the face followed a Electric Wind God Fist but to my surprise Brianna scooted closer to me.

My mind was at ABSOLUTE POWER when she said," Hey do you wanna....ya know?" and oh my god did I short circuit. I felt as if I saw the conversation it took between my mom and dad for my mom to get preggo. Like, that moment was the moment when a super dense main character finally notices the girls like him. Like BRO!!

Since my mind was at about to short circuit, the only two answers I could give were "Yes" or "FUCK YEA CUZZO GIMME THEM LIPS"..........I chose the first option.

My heart was beating like a taiko drum being hit by 98 small asian men and my hands were as sweaty as a soldier that got chosen to be at Omaha beach and now he has to write "the letter". It was then that I noticed that a hand under mine was super sweaty too.......Brianna was sweating just like me.......MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN! Im telling you guys, sweaters are the best people that should get together.

Back to the story, Brianna's looking at me and I'm looking at her. We inch closer and closer together till.........BOOOOOM!!! Theres a sound of footsteps rushing up the stairs.

I practically shit myself and I think Brianna shit herself too.

With my quick decision making skills I scream like a little girl while Brianna grabs me and decides that escape is the best choice. So, Brianna grabbed me and jumped out the "window".

I must say this guys, if you've ever been saved like a princess than that person who saved you is your white knight so marry em.

Back to the story, Brianna cushioned her fall by putting me under her midfall.....I would've done the same.

Xavier and Abby come running out of the back door of the house like pro fuckin athletes. They're just yelling, "RUN DUDE RUN!!" and I soon learn why.

I guess during my sweaty time, some police had driven by and decided to scout the house for any possible suspicious drug setups but the only thing they found was a fat black kid trying to kiss some white girl. Operation "Run and Don't Look Back" was in full affect for every person of colour in the neighborhood.

Police were shouting so we took off.

After about 20 minutes of running through slushy snow and dodging dudes trying to sell stolen stuff we made it to an alleyway behind a gas station.

Xavier and Abby decide to take the girls home so I volunteer to take Brianna home like a pro.

10-20 minutes later were at Briannas house and were just staring at each other.

She breaks the silence by saying, "I uh.....thanks for taking me home I guess?" to which I respond with, "Sure, nice quick thinking back there." She just nods it off.

The silence sits back in when I decide to say, "Hey, do you wanna......ya know? Escape from police?" and she then froze. A couple seconds later I think I said something wrong but next think I know I hear cackling. Not the bad kind so you know.

Briannas just laughing like a beautiful witch. She calms down and says I QUOTE ,"[Redacted], you're a pretty awesome person." then she runs up to me and kisses me on the lips.

My mind was just blank. I dont know if it was from the kiss or being called a "awesome person" but I knew from that moment that this girl was an "awesome person" too.

We kiss for a little while longer than she pulls back and runs into her house.

I'm left there like a snowman in mid-july. My body is just heating up from just being pumped so I focus it somewhere else; running away from her house screeching Queens 'We are the champions' all the way home.

About a month later I havent heard a damn word from or about Brianna. My friends and I are just living life when we meet Girl A from the night I met Brianna.

Girl A turns out to be dating Xavier.

She looks at me and just looks like something clicked in her head. She yells,"OH RIGHT!! HOW COULD I FORGET!!?" Im just thinking "Did you forget to take your meds lady?"

Girl A looks at me and says these exact words, "Brianna said thanks for the lips nerd and something else about how some character called Toku could easily beat Superman."

I froze.

Then I started laughing my heart out. That fuckin nerd........

Now I'll tell you what I learned from this experience ok you degenerates?

I learned that if you find a girl willing to argue over which finger is the best finger, likes olives on pizza, and whether Goku could beat Superman than shes a keeper especially if she was your first kiss.
