That night Will came in through the window once again and flopped down on my bed with a very stupid and creepy grin on his face.
"If someone sees you climbing into a girl's room at this hour with that grin on your face, they're going to call 911", I remarked.
Will just stared up at the ceiling with the same grin on his face, completely oblivious to what I was saying.
I touched my hand to his forehead.
"Are you sick or something?",
"I feel a little funny", he said in a dazed voice.
"Will, if you don't tell me what's up, I will kick you out because you are really creeping me out",
"Tanya said yes",
He looked at me, expecting more of a reaction than what I gave him.
"That's nice", I replied.
"Wait that's it? I thought girls get all excited about this shit", He said.
"Yay", I said in a monotonous tone.
Then the door suddenly opened, cutting our conversation short.
"Hey Kiddo, I-", Liam froze when he saw Will lying on my bed right beside me.
"Am I interrupting something?", he looked between me and Will.
I scowled at him as Will got up and they shared a bro hug.
Will used to idolize Liam when we were younger, and Liam was always on his high horse around him.
"Hey dude, when did you come back?", Will said.
"Just today", Liam replied, "Hope you guys haven't done anything while I was away", he said in a hushed whisper.
"Are you kidding? Your sister hasn't even had her first kiss!", Will teased.
"Un-true! Mason and I just did today!", I immediately clasped my hand over my mouth, realizing what I had just said.
Will and Liam looked at me with their jaws slack. Their eyes were so wide, I feared they would pop right out of their sockets. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Liam finally said something as a grin broke out on his face.
"Harper and Mason, sitting on a tree", he said in a sing song voice.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G", Will continued.
"Shut up!", I threw a pillow at Will, only for it to go over his head. Curse my throwing skills.
"First comes love! Then comes marriage! Then comes the baby and the baby carriage!", they chorused and skipped around the room, all while they dodged the things I threw at them.
"Hey Kiddo, when am I going to become an uncle?" Liam teased.
"Yeah Harp, imagine me telling your kids about how I got you and Mason together", he flicked an imaginary tear out of the corner of his eye, "I'm sorry, I got a little emotional there",
"Drama queens", I muttered.
"Mom and dad are going to flip when they hear about this!", Liam said excitedly.
"Um excuse me? Who's going to tell them?" I threatened.
"Me! Obviously! They'll finally get off my back about Carmine!",
"Oh you mean the girl you brought home, who almost robbed us!?",
"Tut tut", Will tapped my nose as he wagged his finger in my face, "You shouldn't lie to your parents",
I gave him a monotonous expression. You're one to talk.
"But hey big guy? Was she worth it? Carmine?", he grinned at Liam.
"You have no idea, she had the most amazing rack and her breasts were like-",
"Ok both of you get out now! The level of testosterone in this room is unbelievable", I said.
"Okay! Okay!", Liam scooted out of the room.
Will climbed out of the window and turned back to look at me.
"Hey Harp, enjoy the wet dreams about Mason", he made little smooching motions with his lips and left before I could throw something at him.
*****
Kenzie let out a little squeal as I told her about yesterday.
"He kissed you!? Oh my god! You just had your first kiss!", she squealed as I tried to shush her down.
"Be quiet, if someone hears about this my life is going to become drama central for me",
"I can't, it's too exciting", she said as she hopped up and down in the hallways with people giving Kenzie odd stares. Can't say I'm not used to this.
"What's too exciting?", Daniel joined us, putting his arm around Kenzie and pecking her on the cheek while ruffling and messing up my hair.
Kenzie started explaining to Daniel in a very over exaggerated description about my kiss with Mason as we walked to lunch.
When we filled our trays with disgusting canteen food, I felt an arm wrap around my waist.
"Hey beautiful", a familiar voice said.
I looked up to see green eyes peering back into mine and my face immediately went red as I replayed everything from yesterday.
"Hey", I replied trying to keep my composure.
"Can I come over today? I wanted to talk to you about something", he asked.
I nodded, trying to contain my excitement.
"Heyy Harp", someone ruffled my hair. Why are people ruffling my hair so much today?
I looked up to see Will's teasing eyes looking at me and Mason.
"Heyy you", I gave him a disgusted expression. He just has to show me his face to completely ruin my mood.
"Bro what's up with your face?" Mason looked at Will, who by the way had the same grin from last night, plastered on his face.
Will just shrugged and literally skipped all the way to the table. The boy looked like a lovesick puppy.
Me and Mason sat down together with Daniel and Kenzie beside us and Will and Tanya opposite to us. Will stared at Tanya dreamily who was very interested in her phone at the moment.
Mason scooted closer to me and whispered, "What's wrong with Will?",
I looked at him in confusion.
"Are men blind or what?", I whispered, "He asked Tanya out to prom and she said yes",
"Will likes T?", Mason exclaimed in a hushed voice, his eyes wide in surprise.
I gave him a duh look and he stared at Tanya.
"Don't stare at her!", I lightly elbowed him.
He gave me an amused smile.
"Are you jealous?" he asked.
I gave him a nervous laugh, "Absolutely not",
He put his arm around my shoulder and said, "Even if you are, don't worry, I like no one but you", with that he pecked me on the lips and then everything went sideways.
The entire table went quiet. Mason's friends stared at us in shock. Kenzie and Daniel looked at us in horror. Will tried to suppress his laughter and Tanya-OH HOLY SHIT.
Tanya McAdams' eyes burned with fire and a psycho look replaced her fake smile, but it was gone before anyone noticed. I could've sworn she looked murderous.
Courtney and Chelsea looked at Tanya like she was a ticking timebomb that might burst any second now and blow us up as well.
"Aren't you guys cute?", she said with a forced smile on her face.
*****
After school when I had gone home, I couldn't help but think about Tanya. Girls like her scared me. She'd done a lot to me before, but now that she saw Mason kiss me, the look in her eyes confirmed that she'd do something much deadlier. And I didn't want to know what it is.
Mason came to my house after and hour or so and this time I was prepared to look cute enough. He came into my room when I was sitting on the bed and pecked my cheek.
"Look, we're going to prom together tomorrow and I don't want you to get the wrong idea now that I've kissed you", he said, "I don't want you to think that I'm playing you or something because I swear I'm not", he sat down next to me and took my hands in his.
"So I want to ask you this", he took a breath, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
My jaw fell to the floor. Girlfriend? His girlfriend? Mason Stone's girlfriend? Mason fucking Stone's girlfriend?!
I pinched myself to confirm that this wasn't a dream.
"Are you gonna say something?", Mason looked at me hopefully.
"Yes", I replied, "A million frickin times yes!". I tackled him with a hug, I was so happy that I could cry right now. Control yourself Harper. You don't want him to see you covered in snot and tears.
When I pulled away, Mason brushed his lips against mine, etching a permanent grin on my face.
Then suddenly, I heard a voice outside my door. These nosy people. I rolled my eyes and went up to open the door, revealing Bubba, crouched on the floor with his ear pressed against the door and Kat on his back doing the same.
"You guys are animals I tell you", I fumed.
Bubba dramatically flicked away a fake tear from the corner of his eye.
"My Kiddo's so grown up, it seems like only yesterday when she was the size of my hand", he said with a sniffle as Kat let out an overdramatic sob.
"You're my brother genius, not my dad",
"Aren't you guys going to prom tomorrow?" Kat asked.
"Yeah we are", Mason said as he put his arm around me neck.
"I got you a gift for that", Bubba said as he pulled out a brown envelope from his pocket. That's unusual.
I opened the envelope and all the color drained from my face.
Mason took the envelope and took a peek. He suppressed his laughter by turning it in to a cough instead.
"That's very thoughtful of you", Mason said to Bubba, trying to keep a straight face.
"I know right", Kat snickered and stared at me.
Condoms. My siblings are giving me fucking condoms. An entire envelope full of condoms.
*Wilper fans be loading their guns to shoot me now
