johnny and mary

they told me to count, but i didn't want to. i started a fire to keep us warm while the others played in the darkness.
she came to me first, while the others still played. we walked to the beach and then pretended to kiss each other. holding hands was the farthest ive done till that day when i touched mary's lips.
i had seen a movie in which after some kissing they had a smoke, but i didn't have any. she sat down and counted my fingers, said she liked me and ran away. played hide and seek for about an hour more, and then our parents went to the beach to fetch us.
i was still looking at the fire when mary waved to me from her dad's car.
