On New Year's Eve, I went to my friend's house with a bunch of people from school. We'd been playing lots of fun games and eating way too much candy! My crush, who's a pretty good friend of mine, was watching the Times Square performances on TV with me, and I really hoped he'd kiss me when the clock hit midnight! At 11:58, he asked me if I wanted a kiss! I was like "yeah, definitely! I was waiting for you to ask me!" He disappeared, which I thought was kind of weird, but he got back just in time for "3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!" I puckered up and closed my eyes, but nothing happened! I opened my eyes when my crush tapped me and he said "here's the kiss you asked for!" and handed me a chocolate kiss! I was so crushed and totally embarrassed that he didn't actually mean he wanted to kiss me! What a way to start off the new year!
