They had all grown up together, and they looked at each other as friends and buddies, without any real sexual tension or conflict developing among them. As Seventh grade rolled around, however, their hormones all shifted into overdrive, and they each looked upon each other in a new light. Also, 2 more people joined their circle.

Holly was the same age, and was a friend of Debbie's through a church group. Holly quickly became friendly with Mike and Scott, and she then introduced an Eighth grader to the circle of friends, a friend of hers named Michelle. Holly was a tall girl, with wavy brown hair, and a large chest. She had developed early, and her chest was a definite cause for conversation among all the Seventh grade boys. Michelle was a petite, black haired beauty, like Debbie, only she had strikingly attractive looks. She was not as athletic as Debbie was, but she was definitely more of a woman then either Holly or Debbie. Michelle had full, round breasts already, and her curves were more of a sensual nature, than were Debbie's.

School rolled along, and the friends all found themselves talking constantly on the phone, and passing notes in class. It all sounds quite childish now, even with the big Seventh and Eighth grade difference, but it was all very serious to them at the time. They did their best to act mature, and grown up, and they all spent all their free time together.

As their wants and desires began to change so did their relationship. The circle became fragmented, and Mike and Scott spent their time together, as the girls did with their time. They were all still friends, but as the distinction between boys and girls grew more apparent, they found their circle breaking into that pattern. As might be expected, they also began dating each other.

In typical adolescent fashion, Scott and Michelle got together, while Mike and Holly began dating. It also became quite clear that Scott really liked Holly, and Mike really liked Michelle. But they stuck with their relationships as they were, holding hands and speaking on the phone for hours at a time. Debbie sort of fell out of the group as the couples paired off. She was still friendly with them, but not in the same way as the couples began to grow closer.

The big social event for them was on Friday nights. There was local ice skating rink that had a Disc Jockey play music on Friday night, and it was a great way for the young couples to get some freedom. Going up in "the bleachers," was always the big deal. It was like their inspiration point, and all the older kids would sneak up there to make out, and do whatever else they could get away with.

Mike and Scott would skate with the girls on the ice, holding hands and slowly cruising along with the music. Their thoughts and ideas, as well as their eyes, were always on the bleachers, and the older kids that were up there. The younger kids all longed to be old enough to go up there with their dates, and the girls were all thinking the same thing. They were all too young and nervous to make the first move, though, and they all remained on the ice.

After a month of dating, it became obvious that they couples were mismatched. They all got along well, and they all liked each other, but it was pretty clear that the wrong people were matched together. In a big move, they decided to switch, and Mike ended up with Michelle, and Scott and Holly were finally together. It was a big relief for them all, and everything seemed more comfortable.

The girls were the ones behind the switch, and they confided in each other about everything. They both knew what the other wanted, and they both did their best to push the boys to the other girls. Holly spoke with Mike about what she wanted to do with Scott, and Michelle did the same with Scott. The girls figured that this way, they could give the boys the confidence that they were so sorely lacking, while maintaining their innocence. It put a lot of pressure on the two boys, and they both knew that the girls wanted to kiss.....(cont)
