"The kiss"
Explaining This Situation Thoroughly
Later that night, the party is in full swing. All are dancing, laughing, and celebrating their graduation from high school. The room is packed, the music is loud, and the energy is electric.
It's the kind of night where everyone's just soaking in the last moments of their high school lives, knowing things will never be the same again.
and Jones and Kelly was drinking while sitting in a corner of the room
kelly
Is it just me, or does Nick look... excellent tonight?😳
jones
Lol, seriously? You've been crushing on him for ages, haven't you?
kelly
Shut up😒. I'm just saying, he looks different tonight, okay?
jones
Well, there's no way he sees you like that, Kel. You know he's always been about being "one of the guys" with us. You're like a sister to him.
kelly
Don't rub it in, okay? I know it's hopeless
Nick, who's been dancing, suddenly walks over to the group, his trademark carefree smile on his face.
nick
What's up, guys? You ready to hit the dance floor yet?
kelly
Ugh, please. I can't dance as well as you two, but sure, why not?😁😄
nick
I got this. Just follow my lead.
The night continues with everyone having fun, but Kelly can't shake off the feeling that something is missing. She's always had a soft spot for Nick, and tonight, the feeling is stronger than ever. It's as if the end of high school is making her realize how much she might regret not telling him her feelings before it's too late.
Jones knows exactly how Kelly feels.
The truth is, he's been secretly harboring feelings for Nick for as long as he can remember. But telling Nick that would only complicate things, especially now that Kelly's involved. He doesn't want to risk their friendship. He tries to push aside his own feelings, telling himself that it's better for everyone if things stay the way they are.
Kelly, feeling the alcohol start to hit, gets lost in the music. She dances freely, feeling the release from all the pressure she's been carrying. In a moment of complete abandon, she stumbles and falls. Nick, who's just a few steps away, catches her before she hits the ground.
nick
Whoa, careful there, Kelly! You okay? 😟
Their bodies a little too intimate. Kelly, feeling bold in the moment, looks up at him, and before she knows it, her lips press against his. It's quick, sloppy, and totally impulsive.
nick
Woah. Kelly... what was that? 😶
