"Jack. Jack, i know i've been to school before."

"Yeah, i know but i- ive.. been lost before so.. like i was just-"

"Charlie? Charlie," a woman's voice calls out, cutting charlie's dad.

Charlie looks over and opens up his arm, smiling as the woman comes over and they share a hug.

"Oh.. charlie, my sweet boy," she gasps.

We watched them with a smile and looked at each other.

"My god, you okay," his mom asks him.

They were just chuckling. "What happened," she asks Mr. kincaid.

"Well.. we had the talk.. and it- it went.. i think pretty well-"

"Wait- you knew and you didn't tell me," charlie looks at his mom.

"we.. we wanted to wait till you were older, charlie," she explains.

"No.. that dad wears a... fanny pack," charlie chuckles.

"He's been hammering this fanny pack."

"Actually.. the fanny pack was my design," she tells him.

"Now, what are you gonna do," his dad looks at charlie.

"We can talk about this at home.. come on," she laughs.

"Uh- wait. wait uhm.. I uh.." he looks behind at us.

"Hold on a second.. uh.." he stammers.

Berger got the hint and went to the dj booth.

"There's something i gotta do first," he says walking over to us.

He walks over nervously. I was looking between lizzie and maya, confused.

"I know that.. technically you.. uhm have a date already but since he ran away like a whiny, little baby. I was wondering uhm...." he pauses.

I raise my eyebrows at him, waiting for him to say it.

"Do you wanna dance," he asks me.

I smile widely. "Yess! J'aimerais bien," I step closer to him and he holds my hand and we walk off to the other side.

He puts his hands on my waist and i put mine on his shoulders.

——

Berger starts playing music.

"Hey, you have great taste," a girl pops up.

"Woah!! thanks.." berger shouts. "What are you still doing here," he asks. "A dj never abandons her booth."

——

Charlie was looking in my eyes, smiling. It was a slow dance. Spinning in a circle, slowly.

We were just staring at each other. Not saying anything.

——

"Might i have this dance, mon cherie," big mac asks lizzie.

"Yeah," she smiles.

——

"Should we maybe.. dance.. old times sake," mr. kincaid asks charlie's mom.

"I mean we don't wanna watch and make them uncomfortable?" he continued talking.

——

Charlie suddenly closes his eyes and lean in slowly.

I move my shoulder and the jacket makes a small shield, blocking charlie's kiss.

I pull it back, removing the shield. "Just kidding.."

He pauses then kisses me quickly. I didn't expect that, but i kissed back anyways.

berger squeals high pitched, covering his mouth.

"awwww," lizzie comments.

"They grow up fast, don't they," mr. kincaid whispers.

The kiss lasted awhile until he pulls back. He smiles brightly.

"A little too fast," his mom says. "yeah," his dad chuckles.

"Remember our first kiss," lizzie asks big mac. "no," he shakes his head. "it's cause we haven't kissed yet. Not until we're married," lizzie says. "okay!"

I looked into charlie's eyes, they were so pretty. It was like the ocean blue.

"Your eyes are so joli."
