The lights were off, my radio was playing, and the house was silent except for our whispers and giggles as we sat under out blanket fort, a lone flashlight cutting through the dark. Ali had been my friend since before I could remember. About 5 foot 5 inches, with shoulder length blonde hair and eyes a lovely shade of green, she had been the hottest girl in our school. I was 5 foot 6 inches, with dark chocolate brown hair that just barely reached the bottoms of my ears, and muddy green eyes. I had been the overshadowed friend, but I didn't mind. I was just lucky to have her as a friend.
The sleepover was in celebration of our graduation, which had gone on mere hours before, and we were ecstatic. In less than a week, we would be off to college, sharing a dorm, and our freshman college experiences together. I giggled as Ali tried to balance a gummie bear on her nose, and clapped lightly when she got it to her mouth. She giggled and thrust the bag at me.
"Your turn!" She said, and I shook my head. "Aw, come on Lijah!" I shook my head again.
"No! I don't wanna spill gummie bears all over my bed!" I said as I just grabbed a handful and stuffed it in my mouth. She shook her head, ate a few, then giggled again.
"So I was talking to Belle the other day, and she was telling me about this game that is supposed to make you a good french kisser." Insert sexual wink. I just laughed and threw my sheet off of us, turning off the flashlight and placing it on my bedside table. The light streaming in from my skylight created enough light for us.
"Oh really? I'm kinda curious!" I said, taking a sip of my peach soda and munching on another bear. Ali smiled.
"Okay. You take like a mint or small candy or something and put it in your mouth. Then, your 'partner' uses his or her tongue to try and get it into their mouth!" She seemed excited about the game, and I laughed.
"I can't tell if that's hot or disgusting!" I said. She shrugged.
"I know how to french, but it just seems like fun. You know how to french, right?" she asked. I blushed and busied myself by stuffing too many bears in my mouth. Ali gasped.
