A boy and a girl are sitting on a rock. The girl glances over at the boy and pictures him naked. The boy tries not to picture her naked. He stares into the sunset and sighs.

Boy: Have you ever wondered if there's really a god?
Girl: (chuckles) Why?
Boy: I don't know, (shrugs shoulders) just asking.
Girl: Ask me something else.
Boy: Okay...um...have you ever wondered if Jesus was real?
Girl: I know he was real.
Boy: Me too.

They chuckle and stare into the sunset. The girl looks at the boy and wonders if she should go ahead and kiss him.

(sighs) Please...stop.
Girl: (surprised) What?
Boy: Stop what you're doing.
Girl: (scoffs) Doing what?
Boy: You know what you're doing.
Girl: I'm just looking at you...Is that so bad? (scoffs) What? It's okay for other girls to look at you, but if I do, it's wrong? What? Do I offend?
Boy: Well, sometimes.
Girl: (chuckles) You always know what to say just to make me laugh.
Boy: I try. (winks at her)

The girl licks her lips but before she could go in and kiss him, he quickly turned his head to face the sunset.

This is taking a while, huh?
Girl: (sighing) What's wrong?
Boy: Nothing...
Girl: How come other girls can kiss you but I can't?
Boy: Please...don't do this to me.
Girl: Don't do what?! You're doing something to me. You flirt with me all the time...except for recently--but before you used to! Remember? We used to talk for hours about nothing. Remember? What happened? Is it me?
Boy: ...No.
Girl: Am I not pretty enough?
Boy: (tries not to cry) It's not that...
Girl: (begins to cry) Why has every girl been with you, except for me?
Boy: (looks at her) Please, don't cry.
Girl: I can't help it! You break my heart and won't even kiss me to mend it.
Boy: ...Didn't you cut yourself last night at the restaurant?
Girl: (sniffs) Yeah, so?
Boy: (shakes head) I'm not gonna kiss you.
Girl: Because I have a cut in my mouth?
Boy: ...It's a fresh wound...

The girl takes a couple of seconds and thinks about it. She gasps and looks at him; he's sobbing.

If you had to live with this ******** curse...I would never forgive myself...I'd rather live with the wonder of what it's like to taste those beautiful lips of yours...than to actually do it and then watch you suffer.

The End.
