New Life : A Second Chance

Kay waved her hand in dismissal, "It was nothing. Just a bunch of random guys trying to pick me up."

"Yeah, and Kyle broke his nose for it," Xing Han helpfully supplied with a laugh.

"I\'m in my school uniform now, Kyle and I doubt there are any such guys around this time," Kay said as she sat down.

Kyle looked at Kay, from head to toe. Her black, glistening hair that was untied flowing in the wind. Her bright blue eyes on that angelic face, her porcelain white skin making her look so delicate and ethereal ... and the way her school blouse seemed to be too well-fitting around her bust and the skirt which seemed to accentuated her small waist even more ...

Only Kay could make a school uniform look good.

Kyle groaned, and said through gritted teeth, "You need new uniforms."

Kay looked down and frowned, "What? Why? This still fits and it\'s comfortable."

Kyle\'s eyes narrowed at that, "No. It fits too well. You need more loose-fitting clothes!"

Kay glared at him in return, "No. It\'s not tight at all. See?" she said as she pinched the sides of her shirt and pulled, showing how much space there was. It only served to make the shirt around her bust even tighter and Kyle could even see the outlines of her bra and shape of her breast upon it.

Kyle quickly smacked her hands to release her shirt.

"Stop that," he said with a growl then looking at her chest, his eyebrow raised up and he muttered, "Looks like you\'ve grown bigger. Should go bra shopping now."

Kay smacked his head [Don\'t say that in public, you FOOL!!]

Kyle rubbed his head sheepishly. [Sorry. Wasn\'t thinking]

Kay pouted and pointed at his nose, "Go get me food as punishment."

"I was already going to get your food, oh Princess," Kyle said bowing, "So that doesn\'t count. I\'ll accompany you for shopping tomorrow as punishment."

"It\'s only punishment if you pay," Kay countered.

"Deal," Kyle said and knew he was going to have a long, long time because of it.

Kay turned to Beatrice who just looked at them during this exchange, "You\'ll join us, right? It\'s the weekend!"

Beatrice stammered then felt Sam nudge her, saying, "Go. Kay can get crazy when she shops, but she\'s not so bad if there\'s a friend."

Beatrice blinked. Is this what being friends would be like? Without realising it, she nodded her head. Kay clapped happily then waved Kyle away.

"Shoo. Go. Get us food," she commanded with a smile.

Beatrice was about to follow them when Kay held her hand, effectively holding her back, "No, you stay. Just tell them what you\'d like. Otherwise, just take from whatever we have. We\'ll have a food truck buffet!"

"Food truck buffet?" Beatrice asked.

"That\'s when they buy almost everything and we taste it all," Kay explained.

Beatrice gasped, "Isn\'t that wasteful?"

Xing Han coughed while Kyle laughed out loud, "With Xing Han here, nothing goes to waste."

"HEY!! That\'s not true!! You eat as much as I do!!" Xing Han protested as Sam led them away.

Kay watched Beatrice, who was watching Sam and the others go around the area. She could see the wistful look in her eyes as if she was contemplating something. So, Kay didn\'t say a word, not wanting to break her thoughts.

Kay turned to look at the backs of the three boys when her eye caught a couple making out in the darker corner of the area. Images of Jason and his sloppy kiss filled her mind and she shuddered a bit. Yet, she couldn\'t stop being fascinated by the scene in front of her.

Even though she had seen such scenes on television and in the movies, seeing it in real life was so different. Such public displays of affection where the two were so engrossed in each other made it seem like they were truly in love. In the movies, you knew that they were acting so it didn\'t feel "real".

Kyle sat down next to Kay, sipping some orange juice through a straw when he noticed she was looking at something intently. Before he could see what it was, Kay asked, "Kyle, you\'ve kissed before. What\'s it like?"

Kyle was so shocked that he started choking on his drink. He coughed and hit himself on the chest repeatedly to get it under control.

"Rather, what\'s french kissing like? Is it really so great to have someone\'s tongue in your mouth?" Kay continued asking, staring into the distance and being completely oblivious to the shocked expression of Beatrice and Kyle\'s coughing fit beside her.

"I mean, it looks all romantic and stuff but is it really?"

"Is what really?" asked Sam as he sat down.

Kyle crossed his hands in front of him while shaking his head vigorously towards Sam. Sam looked at him in puzzlement, asking, "What?"

"Kay was asking what french kissing is like," explained Beatrice with a straight face.

Sam\'s eyes bulged wide open and turned to look at Kay, then to Kyle slowly. "Why would you be asking Kyle that?"

Xing Han came back then, with some cheese fries and sat down next to Kyle as he said, "This will have to do for now until the rest are ready."

He noticed the silence at the table and asked, "What?"

Kyle finally got his coughing under control and he turned to Kay, his face unreadable as he said, "What on Earth Kay? Where did that question come from??!"

"I\'m curious," Kay said, thinking about how she felt when Jason had kissed her and tried to force his tongue in, "Tell me, brother. What\'s it like? Is it really that good?"

"Wait. What?!" Sam turned to look at Kyle, "You\'ve FRENCH KISSED someone before?! WHEN?!!!"

Xing Han gasped, banging his hands on the table, "KYLE! HOW COULD YOU!! You never told me!!!"

Kyle looked at the really curious Kay, then at the rest who was just staring at him and he banged his forehead on the table. He lay there, with face downwards and forehead on the table, the then closed his ears with his hands.

Xing Han was having none of that. He grabbed Kyle\'s hands and pried them open. Putting his head right next to Kyle\'s ears, he hissed, "SPILL IT."

[Great. Thanks a lot, Kay]

Kay giggled, [Erm, sorry? But I really am curious]

[Couldn\'t you have asked me in private? Now what am I going to tell them?]

[You\'ll think of something. Seriously, Kyle, I am sorry. It came out without thinking. I was just remembering Jason and then ... well, can I really ... I mean, it was so disgusting. I don\'t know if I can ever ... kiss someone or even enjoy it.]

Kyle sighed. It was understandable for her thoughts and fears. Her first experience and it had to be by that douchebag.

Xing Han was still pestering him and he suddenly sat up straight.

"Fine, fine, I\'ll tell," Kyle said while rubbing the back of his neck. His thought quickly, and decided to be as truthful as possible about his first kiss - with some minor adjustments since it\'s really his memory from his past life.

"First, don\'t ask me when it happened, okay? Otherwise, I\'m not going to say anything. Deal?"

Xing Han nodded quickly, looking like a chicken pecking for food. Sam nodded and Beatrice just stared at him. Kyle looked at her pointedly and she finally nodded slowly.

"And no telling ANYone about this. Not even to Ali," Kyle stressed.

"Just get on with it!" Xing Han said impatiently.

Kyle took a deep breath, and with a straight face, lied as he said, "Okay ... so ... there was this girl that kinda liked me and confessed. I rejected her, of course, and then she started crying. So, I had to comfort her, right? You know how I don\'t like seeing girls cry."

Xing Han and Sam nodded, knowing this part of Kyle very well.

"Anyway, I hugged her to stop her from crying when she just ... suddenly ... hugged me tight then kissed me on the lips," Kyle said. So far, all of that had been a lie since he had to create a believable start. It was half-truths, actually.

He did get his first kiss from his first confession. In his past life, it was the guy who had confessed to her, and she accepted. She was beyond happy to know that the guy she had a crush on, actually returned her feelings. After the successful confession, he had kissed her.

From this point, Kyle told the truth as he remembered what it was like and his feelings then.

"I was shocked, really. Too shocked to process much at that point," Kyle admitted, "Her lips were soft and yes, it was nice."

"Did you kiss her back?" Xing Han asked excitedly.

"Er ... y-yeah," Kyle stammered, "Huge mistake since that made her think she could change my mind. Her kiss became, erm, more intense then and ... well, long story short, I also had my first french kiss."

"Was it weird?" Kay asked, "What did it really feel like? For a tongue to meet a tongue? What did a tongue feel like? Does it have any taste?"

"Urgh. Kay, please," Kyle groaned, "Seriously?"

All of them nodded.
