As the game went on and on, Acacia was beginning to feel more and more silly for having come. The bottle seemed to be missing her on every turn, and if she didn't feel obligated to keep a firm eye on Derek, she would almost be tempted to leave early, something Acacia had never done at a party before. She had come hoping to make some new friends, but as had been the case ever since she had arrived at Hogwarts, Acacia felt like an outsider. Everyone seemed to know each other, sitting with friends and whispering, and she felt disconnected from the dramas surrounding who was kissing who. Acacia regretted not making more friends with these people, feeling almost like she shouldn't have come after all, a feeling she had never experienced back home.
That all changed though, when the bottle landed in her direction. Acacia almost hadn't been paying any attention anymore, only really half focusing to make sure Derek didn't kiss anyone, and it took her a moment to realise why she was being approached. This was it, her first kiss. It being with someone she knew was strangely unexpected, but Acacia was ready, eyes lingering on Analei's lips for a moment before she leaned in to kiss her gently. Her heart fluttered slightly at the feeling, and Acacia had to remind herself not to linger, pulling back with a nervous smile at Analei. And then it was her turn to spin, and Acacia looked down, trying not to think too much. She didn't know anyone well enough to have anyone specific she wanted the bottle to land on, but when she looked up and saw that it was pointing to a boy, her heart sank slightly. One of the things Acacia had wanted to figure out today was why she had been finding her gaze lingering on girls more and more recently, and this instinctive disappointment went a long way towards answering that question. Acacia wanted to give him a fair shot though and moved over to the older boy, waiting for him to indicate what he wanted. After getting the go-ahead she pressed her lips to his, pulling away quickly with more certainty in her mind. That had definitely felt different, and Acacia had a lot to think about as she sat back down, preoccupied with her own thoughts.
