looked into his eyes, feeling my heart squeeze so tight it was hard to breathe. In one stare, I felt like I had collided with him. It was instant and shocking. My feelings exploded inside of me, absorbing the boy and all he was like a sponge that was desperate for water. I was desperate for him. All of him. Every piece and part. Raging hormones, encouraged by my frazzled emotions, overrode my common sense right then, causing me to do something completely out of character. Releasing an unsteady breath, I reached up, grabbed Johnny’s neck, and pulled his face down to mine. And then I kissed him.
