I was with my best friend, Jason and his sister, Kirsten. There was a party going on in the house next door to me. Instead of joining it, we were jumping on my trampoline in my backyard. We could feel the bass from the generic rap song they were playing, it made my heart feel funny.

I felt alive.

Kirsten had to run inside to go pee, and Jason and I were on the trampoline together, alone. I sat down on it to catch my breath and he did the same. He was right across from me and I couldn’t look away from him. We both leaned forward at the same time and our lips met with urgency and passion. I felt fireworks go off in my brain as his lips and mine moved together, matching the rhythm of my heartbeat. Every nerve in my body was on fire and I wanted more, I wanted-

“Jason,” I heard Kirsten’s voice coming from my backdoor, “Michael, what the hell are you doing!?”

I tore my face away from Jason’s and gave her the kind of sheepish smile you gave your girlfriend when she caught you making out with her brother.
