Sounds like he was completely infatuated from the first moment he met her. Some of his reactions are a little too mature for a kid. For example, a kid probably wouldn't notice that the legs were "in desperate need of the sun's touch," That's an adult description. I liked his shyness at the beginning.

I think there are some romances that DO spark as youngsters. I know a couple of them myself. Written well, charming. An innocent first kiss. Much luck in the contest. Marilyn

What a cute story, what cute characters and what a cute first kiss.
I love the picture you've chosen to go with it. It's most appropriate.
Good luck in the contest.

The hundred- word story about a first kiss, Lila Bea Stacey, is a cute scene with a precocious boy and his sudden infatuation with a certain girl. May be part of a real story. Fun little read.

Perfect. Good luck in the contest. My entry is, First Kiss, I know, very imaginative. So, I guess we'll meet in the ring. May the best man win. I only say that because you're a girl.

A fine entry for the flash contest
Tongue tied at an early age
but not lip tied it seems
A kiss is worth a thousand words
or in this case, a hundred words
Perfect picture to match poem
Well done
Good luck in the contest

Cute story. I really enjoyed this piece. I found a couple of things for your consideration.

The rusty old Chevrolet door moaned as it opened.--suggest a comma after rusty

A pair of pale legs in desperate need of the suns touch, stretched to the sandy floor. --sun's should be possessive. If your going to use the comma before stretched, I would recommend offsetting commas (one after legs), but you can delete the comma if you wish.

"Um hey there." was all I was able to muster. -- Suggest comma after Um and there.

"I'm Lila Bea Stacey." She boasted. -- suggest a comma after Stacey and lower case she. It's a speech tag.

"What is your name?" She asked as she plopped down beside me. -- suggest lower case she. A different type of speech tag.

Take care and good luck,
Russell

Very nice. I would only suggest a few changes.

note:

A pair of pale legs in desperate need of the {suns} touch,

- should be: sun's

"Um hey there{,}" was all I was able to muster.
- change

"I'm Lila Bea Stacey[,]" {she} boasted. "What is your name?" {she} asked as she plopped down beside me.

- change

"suns" should be "sun's".

Nothing like the first kiss.

Especially when you are tongue-tied and have nothing to say.

Should be an interesting entry into this contest.
