{Good evening, welcome to Burger King may I take your order please} a pretty lady dressed in a yellow T-shirt and black pants said to the the group of high schoolers standing in front of the counter
{Good evening, we would like four servings of BBQ bacon and cheese burger with fries, three cheese sandwiches and a serving of vegan burger with extra fries, thanks} Lisa replied the pretty lady at the counter
{anything else} she asked with a smile
{ummm and umm, what drinks would you like to have guys} Lisa asked the group standing beside her
{just get us cola and ice tea please} Ricky answered to Lisa's question for the group with a flirty smile on his face
{alright} said Lisa with a blush, turning back to the counter lady {four cola and ice tea each thank you}
{your order would be ready in five minutes please do take a seat }
{thank you} the group comprising of eight people, four boys Ricky, Neo, Paul, and Mason and four girls Lisa, Bella, Alexa, and Sofia finally made their order and moved to a table, they chatted away as they waited
{...but the eagles played so well today, I mean that goal was sick} Neo said obviously excited
{I bet you didn't expect the game to be that tough for just a friendly match} asked Bella
{bro! not at all, I heard they got a new couch for this season} Mason replied to Bella
{JFK ain't playing with anyone this season, I mean who ever gets to semi finals in the league automatically qualifies for ISF cup } Paul chimed in
{we might get scouted if we qualify too, that would be sick } Neo said with a dreamy smile only the though of being scouted made him satisfied
the boys went on discussing about football and the girls chimed in from time to time
{... what's up...} Ricky asked Lisa who was lost in thoughts while staring at him
{...umm ...} she blinked realizing she had been caught staring
{you have been staring at my face since we sat down, are you surprised at how handsome I am} Ricky asked with a teasing smile
{I....i...} Lisa was interrupted by the waiter who served their order and the group quickly dug in
Ricky chuckled at Lisa's act of avoiding the conversation by stuffing her face with food {tss...cute...}
after dinner the group walked out of Burger King completely stuffed with food, they decided to walk around to aid their digestion
{this was fun, why don't we do this again sometime} Alexa spoke up with a skimming smile
{yes, I think we should go to the movies next time, us eight} Bella chimed in supporting Alexa's suggestion
{alright next weekend then} Neo quickly agreed, he was not going to turn down any opportunity to have fun and that to in the company of pretty girls
{I'm down for that} Mason and Paul nodded in agreement as well
the group looked at Ricky and Lisa for their opinion
{I would go with what ever Lisa decides} Ricky said smiling at her
{umm...I...we... umm... yes} she was short of words, he wanted he to decide for both of them
{so it's settled then, Saturday by 5pm, we should go early so we can have dinner together} said Alexa
{yeah I think we should exchange numbers} suggested Sofia, the girls knew how much Lisa liked Ricky and they were willing to help her

at about 9:30pm the group departed to their various homes except for Ricky who offered to walk Lisa home
{hope you had fun today} he asked as they arrived at Lisa's house
{yes I did thank you for honouring my invitation} Lisa replied
{it was my pleasure and thank you for treating us to dinner, goodnight} said Ricky as he waited for her to walk in
Lisa stood still with a complicated expression all of a sudden she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek
Ricky froze as he was not expecting that from her,
Lisa felt embarrassed at his reaction, she had been crushing on him for a while now, she would always panic and run away any time he looked and waved at her but with her friends urging she finally mastered up the courage to ask him out and actually had a good conversation with him without messing up or running off
{what if he doesn't like girls being to forward she shouldn't have kissed his cheek what will she do now} Lisa was experiencing a mental breakdown, she quickly made a move to escape
Ricky was brought back to reality when he felt her hasty movement, he was so used to her running off on him but not today, stretching his hand he tugged the almost running Lisa in to his arms
Lisa who was now in his embrace was sobbing, this was the first time she liked someone this much, she had no idea what was wrong with her
{You can't just kiss me and run off like that} said Ricky after sometime
{I... I'm sorry...I} she could only apologize
{if you really are sorry then you have to take responsibility for it}
{okay...what should I do}
he turned her to face him and said with a serious expression {don't run away }
{what} she looked at him with a confused expression on her face
Ricky held her face in his hands and bent over, he was a head taller than her
Lisa could feel his breath on her face fanning all her senses away, she reached out and held his shirt as his lips touched hers
it was a messy sight to see, they both had no idea what to do as it was their first time kissing but they enjoyed it still
breaking away from the kiss Ricky whispered something to Lisa and she immediately ran into her house
ten seconds later she preyed the door open and shouted {yes and good night}
Ricky who had just taken two steps from the house turned back when he heard Lisa, with a smile he waved her goodnight before leaving for his house
