Read Never Been Touched, Never Been Kissed – Chapter 1
Emma Williams sat cross-legged on her bedroom floor, clutching a glittery pen while Katie sprawled on the bed behind her. The faint glow of fairy lights made the room cozy, but Emma couldn’t shake the knot of unease in her chest.
“Why are we doing this again?” Emma asked, twirling the pen nervously.
“Because,” Katie said, flipping through a magazine, “you need to stop being so boring. You’re seventeen, Emma. Live a little!”
“I’m not boring,” Emma mumbled, though even she didn’t sound convinced.
Katie rolled onto her stomach, smirking. “Girl, you volunteer at the library on weekends. You’ve never been to a party. And—correct me if I’m wrong—you’ve never even been kissed.”
Emma’s cheeks flushed. “That’s not the point. I just don’t… I don’t want to rush things.”
Katie tossed the magazine aside and grabbed a notebook off the nightstand, slapping it into Emma’s hands. “Here’s what we’re gonna do. Make a bucket list. All the crazy, wild things you want to do before graduation.”
Emma raised an eyebrow. “A bucket list? That’s dumb.”
“No, it’s genius,” Katie insisted, grabbing a pillow and hugging it. “Just write it down. No one’s gonna see it. It’s just for you and me.”
Emma sighed, tapping the pen against the notebook. “Fine, but don’t judge me.”
Katie grinned. “Promise. Go wild.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Emma scribbled the first few items. Her handwriting was neat, the kind of careful script that only came from years of taking perfect notes in class.
“Let me see!” Katie demanded, leaning over to peek.
“No way!” Emma pulled the notebook close to her chest.
“Come on,” Katie whined, practically climbing over her. “I’m your best friend. No secrets!”
Reluctantly, Emma handed it over. Katie’s eyes widened as she read:
• Sneak into a party.
