"Okay, lads. No blondes this year so those who prefer redheads line up in front of me and those who prefer brunettes line up in front of Bronagh," Destiny said taking charge with the line that the girls working the booth each year had to use.

It was a quick way to get the lines formed in front of the girls doing the kissing and made things less awkward incase the lad didn't know whom to choose.

There were eight lads and five of them lined up in front of me, which shocked the hell out of me. I figured they would pick Destiny even if they preferred brunettes, because she was so much better looking than me, even on a bad day.

I blinked when the first lad stepped towards me, held out his two Euro coin, and dropped it in my collection basket.

"I'm Toby." He smiled and revealed the cutest gap between his front teeth.

"Hi Toby, I'm Bronagh." I smiled and forced myself not to puke.

This lad was so cute, and I felt like I was about to violate him.

He shifted his stance and just looked at me like he was waiting for the green light to kiss me so I blew out a breath, puckered my lips, and leaned towards him. He jumped a little, smiled, then mimicked my actions and met my lips, pressing his against mine.

It was the type of kiss that was five seconds long and tight-lipped. The kind you would give someone as a quick peck on the cheek but, instead, it was on my lips, and Toby seemed to be thrilled with that.

"Thanks," he breathed.

When I pulled back from him, he just stood staring at me with a bright smile and wide eyes.

"Toby, it's my turn to kiss 'er now," a lad from behind Toby hollered.

Toby frowned but quickly smiled at me again before moving off. The four lads that followed Toby all got the same five second long, closed-mouthed kiss, and afterwards they acted like I had flashed them my boobs with the way they gazed at me.

"This is fun," Destiny chirped from my left.

I looked at her, my face scrunched up in horror. "They were practically babies!"

She rolled her eyes. "Puh-lease, we're only like four to five years older than them. Besides, it was only for two seconds."

Five seconds.

I shook my head. "I still didn't think it was fun."

"You will when the older lads pile in and come over."

I snorted and said, "I will happily leave you to deal with them since you seem to enjoy this."

"Really? Deadly, thanks!"

I snorted then turned my head and looked around the hall at the rest of the set-ups to earn money. There were games, baked goods for sale, dancing, and other stuff that I couldn't see from where I was sat.

"You know that Jason is back from his holidays early, right? And that he prefers brunettes over redheads?"

Why did she keep talking to me? 

Wait, did she say Jason was back from his holidays… early?

"That news just made me die inside."

Destiny snorted so I looked at her and said, "He will choose you over me; he knows I don't like him."

That was an understatement; Jason knew I hated him.

Jason was the captain of the football team and had been a pain in my arse since second class in primary school when he decided to bully me for his personal amusement.

The captain of each sports team always had to hit up the kissing booth and bring their players along. For some reason other boys in the school did the same shite they did, and the teachers knew that, so they made a deal with the teams to promote the kissing booth so they could earn more money for their uniforms and stuff. I mean, the money we all raised went directly to their teams, so they got pretty hands - lips - on about it each year and made sure the kissing booth made the most money. Because according to them, it was the most fun during the whole event.

Destiny's laughter got my attention. "Exactly, which is why he will choose you because it will make you mad, and he lives for that."

"He doesn't like me either, why would he want to kiss me just to piss me off?”

"I don't know, but you can ask him 'cause here he and the football team comes now."

"Ladies." Jason gri

I glared at him then at the team and took charge instead of Destiny. "You know the drill, if you like redheads line up in front of Destiny and if you want a dig in the face, line up in front of me 'cause I'm your girl."

I hated that an even amount of the team separated into lines, a good few chose me, and it made me blink.

"Did you not hear me sayin' I'll dig you in the face?" I questioned them.

I got back grins, smirks, and even an 'I'll risk it'.

"I have a cold sore," I blurted out, hoping they would run away in terror.

They didn't, they only laughed.

"We're payin' costumers, you have to kiss us. It's in the rules." Gavin Collins gri

I was in a lot of Gavin's classes, and he seemed like a really nice lad. He was really cute as well, so when my face turned red it wasn't because I was angry with him. He was one of those lads that was seriously good looking, tall and lean but still remained nice and not arrogant. Which made him many girls' perfect dream man.

"Whatever," I muttered, trying to downplay my blush.

Gavin stepped forward, dropped four Euro into my basket, and smirked at my raised eyebrows. "I want an extra long kiss."

I felt horrified and flattered at the same time.

"What? Why?"

Gavin gave me a 'duh' look, but I didn't understand what I was supposed to get so I just stared back at him until he laughed and leaned the whole one hundred percent of the way into me, put his hand on the back of my neck, and pulled my head to his.

Then he kissed me, and because I was so shocked, I opened my mouth which he filled with his tongue. I couldn't pull away and the way his hand cupped my face, I could do nothing but mimic his actions and kiss him back.

This was my first real kiss.

That's all I could think of during the kiss; it didn't leave a lot of time to actually enjoy it. I blinked my eyes open when Gavin pulled away from me gri

"That was more than four Euros worth so here is another two." He chuckled and flipped another two Euro into my basket.

I just blinked at him before clearing my throat. "Uh, thanks?"

Gavin laughed, then winked as he moved aside in the line. The next couple of lads kissed me exactly like Gavin did, and it made me feel weird. These lads never paid attention to me at all during our time in school, not that I paid them any either, and yet they kissed me like I was their one and only. I kissed them back just like they kissed me, but there was no intensity behind my kisses. I was merely just moving my mouth and tongue.

My lips were starting to hurt and felt a little puffy, so by the time the last lad from the team in line stepped up to me, I was happy it was nearly over. I wasn't happy when I saw who the lad was though.

"No way," I hissed, "go to Destiny!"

Jason smirked at me and said, "I'm a brunette man, Bronagh, can't bend the rules."

I hissed at him. "That's bullshit, you hate me, and I hate you. This is not happenin'!"

He stepped towards me, and I growled.

"Problem with kissin' me, Bronagh?" Jason gri

"I have a list a fuckin' mile long!" I snapped making him snicker.

I grimaced.

I hated him so much, probably even more than I hated Dominic. I groaned then; Jason was back in school, and Dominic was here as well now. They both made my life hell and would totally be to blame if I ever killed myself.
