Divorce and a Kiss

My parents are having some sort of conflict. Mom says they are going to talk things over. I expect that it will all get worked out. Then Mom shows up at school and tells us that she and Dad are getting a divorce.

It's time for school to start, so Mom follows me to class. I am having a hard time keeping calm after that news and end up walking out of first period, leaving Mom behind. I decide to talk to Scott about it, so I head downstairs to the food court/commons area, where I remember having seen him earlier. He is there but is surrounded by a crowd of people. So I decide to buy some ice cream. There are two places selling ice cream. I get in the line for the cheaper kind - which costs about $30 for a cone. The girl behind me kicks me while walking. I ask her to be careful and she gets very offended and makes a big scene about it. So I get in the other line, where the ice cream or sherbet is about $70 for a cone.

I end up getting out of line without buying any ice cream. I go over by where Scott and company are. He wants to talk to me, so I say a sentence. My voice breaks because I am so upset. He imitates me, teasing. Then he kisses me - a quick peck on the lips. I just stare at him in shock. First that he kissed me at all, and then that he did so in such a public place. He is surprised that I am surprised.
