She was standing by the monkey bars with a weird look in her eyes. So I ran like hell in the other direction, but for a chubby girl, baby was fast. before I knew it, she had pinned me to the ground - just slobbing and kissing all over me.I felt like my face was in a car wash. Messed me up, messed me up bad. To this day, whenever I see someone spitting or washing their car... I think you Rachel Wyatt, my first kiss.
