You're So Good To Me, Baby.

So today I had a pretty great night, scratch that, I had an amazing night! In every aspect of the word. So you all remember how Jamie hook me up with one of her boyfriend's friends right? Well, let's just say that I am eternally grateful to her. Love ya, Jamie! After school I was kind of excited. Not that much, because I had a lot of things on my mind. A lot of drama going on in my life and a date with a guy I didn't know, didn't exactly clear my mind about things. I went home alone, for Ponyboy was still talking to his teachers about making up the work he missed, or something between the lines of that. At home, all I wanted to do was lie down on the bed and sleep. And, believe it or not, that's what I did. You can guess what my exciment and eagerness level was. I'm not sure when I finally fell asleep, but I did, until Sodapop came into the room to wake me up saying that Jamie had called to remind me of hanging out with her and Andrew tonight. I got up, without complain and took a quick shower to finally wake me up. (Yes I did bring my towel with me. After the perveric scene with Ponyboy, I will never forget.) You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get ready. And it wasn't really that much. I put on a red blouse, a pair of jeans, and my mom's heels. Which remainds me: "Blair you NEED to return me my black high heels! Or else..." I waved my hair and with a long sigh and a deep breath, headed for the door, however, not without a talk with the boys. Sigh. The boys. Darry pulled me to the kitchen and with Soda and Pony at his side, he gave me "the talk". I guess older brothers ARE the same everywhere. You can just imagine what he said. The same babbling stuff every girl gets, but what I said took me out of guard. "Darry," I started. My voice broke up. I was struggling with the words. Like I wanted to say something but at the same time, I didn't. "I'm, I'm scared." Awwww. Yep people. KitKat Curtis is scared of a romantic relationship. Now the world is really spinning out of control. Darry smiled. One of those warm smiles I had never seen him do. He got closer and hugged me, well, make that a group hug. "Guys, can't breath." Did I mention I was in the middle? Yeah, not good. They let go, remembering I was a girl and I chuckled. The way to Andrew's place was longer than I had expected. Jamie, piece of advice, when you're giving directions to someone else, make sure they are clear. I was wondering around his neighbourhood for twenty minutes, trying to find which was his house.

But when I finally got it right, I was not dissapointed with what I saw. I rang the doorbell and Andrew, well I figured he was Andrew, open the door and smiled at me. "You must be Kitty? Right?" Kitty? Kitty? Did he just called me a cat? Miau. "KitKat." I said. "Or Kit, KittyKat, or Curtis, or a bunch of more nicknames but I'm sure we can leave that to another occation." I said. Jamie walked towards us and winked at me when she saw me. "Well, as you know this is Andrew and this guy over here....." She lead me towards Mark, who was sitting in a couch but stood up at my sight. "Is Mark. Your date." She said. I looked over to Mark. God I felt awkard. Really awkard. Mark took a step closer to me. Yay, he was tall. "Hey, I'm KitKat Curtis. Jamie's friend." I said. For the first time in all my life, I wasn't sure what to say. The world was really spinning out of control. Mark smiled. "Yeah I know. Jamie here told me all about you." I smiled and turn to look at Jamie. "She did huh? All bad I hope." I turned to look at Mark. "And all true." Jamie called from where she was standing. We laughed. Yay for the awkardness. Note: If you ever want to have me speechless, hook me up with some guy I don't know and tell me it's a date. That would probably come in handy for my brothers. Anyway, we stood like that for some long five minutes. I'm not sure about Mark, but I was fighting with myself trying to get my charismatic traits to work and establish conversation. "Hey love birds, the movie is tonight." Someone, I'm not sure who it was, either Andrew or Jamie, called from the front door. "You know what. I think it would be a better idea if Kit and I stayed here." Mark said with a cheerful voice. I turned to look at him, now being my usual self. "Well, this is a monarchy and I rule. So let's go to that movie because I say so." I said smiling. He chuckled. "As you wish my Queen." I grabbed him by the arm and followed Andrew and Jamie. The movie was one word. Dull. But it was the only one they were playing, so we went in. But it wasn't that bad. At least it wasn't for me. Mark kept me laughing all the movie. Actually, while Andrew and Jamie were kissing, that's what we did, laugh. Until it came a time that a guard had to get us out of the room because we were 'disrupting' the entertainment. Whatever. Still, that didn't stop us. Even outside, we kept on laughing and laughing and laughing. When the movie ended and Andrew and Jamie catched up with us -I don't think they even noticed we were kicked out. They were so into themselves- we went for some pizza. And kept laughing. Jamie and Andrew kept looking at us as if we were cuckoo. I think we annoyed them a little, but hey, it was better than making out and totally ignoring the other couple. But we got them into our conversation so it was all well. Finally, we said good-bye to Andrew and Jamie, and went out way.

We weren't sure were to go, so we just wandered around town, trying to stay as close as possible to our side of town, since I wasn't up to beat someone tonight or have to see Mark do the same. We were walking through a park, when I suddenly felt like being a kid once more. There was a rocket ship there. A red nose points to the sky. Metal bars run from the nose all the way down to blue fins holding the ship off the ground. Between the nose and the finds are three platforms, connected by three ladders. On the top level is a steering wheel. On the mid level is a slide that leads down to the playground, or what's left of the playground. "Try to catch me." I poked Mark and ran towards the rocket. Through one of the three ladders I climbed up to the upper level. From up there, I watched Mark smiled as he reached the rocket. "That's not fair. You had advantage." I smiled. "Oh poor baby. I'm sure you'll figure something out." He smiled, his smile was truly special. Sencire, yet childish. "I'll come up and get you." He said. "No!" I called. "I'll be right down. Let me take the slide." I said. Then, he said three magical words, I had never heard anyone tell me before. "I'll catch you." Dissapointed? Let's hope not. You can just imagine how hard and fast my heart was pounding. I felt it was going to free itself from my chest. I climbed down the top ladder and sat on the slide. I looked down at Mark, who had his arms open, ready to catch me. I was nervous. I was scared. I pushed off. My hair was flying behind me. He raised his arms to catch me, I raised mine so he could. And then, without warning, or even a slight hint of what his actions would be, he kissed me as I literally slide into his arms. And it was one word. Beautiful. I kissed back and we stayed like that for several wonderful minutes. There wasn't anything awkard about it. Just a kiss. Unexpected, but that's the best kind. When we pushed back, and it took us some time to push back, Mark grabbed my hand and walked me over to the swings. And he pushed me as I swung high in the sky. And then... And then what happened? We left.

I opened the door to my house and started to walk in dancing. Darry looked at me with one 'wtf' looks that I was so used to now a days. Katie and Soda where there and they smiled at me, followed by Soda telling something about me to Darry that I couldn't quite hear, but defenetley about me. I walked into my room and lay down in the bed. I couldn't sleep. I wasn't tired. All I could think of where two things: Mark. And a thank-you note for Jamie.
