Answer:

He was shocked when she kissed him, because she was white. This shows that interracial relationships or any sort of intimacy was unusual for people in Maycomb. He was also scared because he knew that it wasn't normal for that to happen and worried about what would happen and or what people would say because she was a white woman, and no one was going to believe that he didn't kiss her back.

Hope this helps!
