I was 12 on a field trip to a museum in NYC with my gifted class. This girl bothered me a little; she would always mildly talk shit to me, which I was a bit too young to realize that it was her being flirty. She lived really close to a friend that I played street hockey with, and would occasionally pass by on her way home or whatever to get flirty.
So, the day went normally for the first few hours. It was just a normal field trip, with the teacher taking the lead, moving all the kids in one massive herd while letting us explore each room freely after a brief summary of the room's theme. At one point in the museum, as the group was moving to another room, she put her hand on my chest to hold me back. I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but before I knew it, she pop kissed me right on the mouth. It completely shocked me; I remember my head feeling a bit spinny and I couldn't do anything but stand still with a dumbfounded look on my face. I had no idea that she was attracted to me in that way (being 12, I guess) and honestly, until that point, I hadn't really been attracted to her. Being my first kiss, though, I was instantly sentimental and warmed up to her a bit.
For the rest of the day, I took any opportunity I saw to discretely hold her hand (since, having just had my first kiss from a girl, and our doing something I had always imagined being a very private thing in public, was still a big deal). I remember testing the waters each time; I would touch her index finger to see what she would do, and she wrap it around mine, and slowly spider our way into each others palms. I remember her hands being tiny compared to mine (I was always a tall kid, though, I think I was about 5'5" when I was that age), and really cold.
Ugh. Too detail-y. Anyway.
After the field trip was over, and the normal bus ride seated next to the highest ranking member of our individual friendship hierarchy, we arrived back at a deserted school to retrieve our personal items from our lockers. No one was there aside from the few god-blessedly discrete janitors. We found each other extremely quickly (I know I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen). Coincidentally, we were the only two who had lockers in that specific wing of our school. As soon as we felt save, the day of my first kiss also came to include my first makeout session. We were under the stairs in a connecting stairwell with huge windows on one side. The sun was setting over the top of the school, and I know that sounds very bizarre to be that sentimental about something that happened inside a school, but I'm sure if you lost your virginity in a hospital, you'd be more likely to remember the smell of her hair than the scent of death, disease and offensive cleaning products.
Anyway, I'll cut off the story here. It's really long, yes, but I haven't thought about it in detail in years.
