Excerpt #18

*:・゚✧
     and here i was again, alone with no one to hang out with because all of my friends have dates and they're on them. i went the neighborhood park and decided to just... think.
     i made it to the playground, finding the swing set and walking towards it. it rained a little before, so i turned the seat to the other side which was dry. i sat down.
     looking down at my lap, i felt my heart getting heavy. i don't know what it was; i wasn't jealous of my friends.. or maybe i was. maybe i just felt lonely...
     "hey, (y/n), what are you doing here?" a familiar voice questions above me. i move my head up, and i see him. his hair was like it always is and his eyes were beautifully bright. i looked up to them and goosebumps came.
     "oh hey...i–um..." i pretended i had an itch on my forehead. "i–i'm just.." somehow, i couldn't say anything.
     "i'm just alone." i ended up simply blurting out. he took the swing next to me and sat in it, holding onto the chains. he slowly started swinging back and forth.
     "and why is that?" he further asked. i shrugged also starting to swing. "all of my friend are on their dates and no one can hang out with me." i pursed my lip waiting for his response. he nodded.
     no more words were spoken between us, so i averted my attention back to my lap.
     "this might be a weird question," i began taking a deep breath. "but do you think i'll find someone?" the goosebumps came back running up my arms.
     he looked at me longingly. i could only stare back into his eyes. "i believe you will one day." he replied moving his eyes to the grass.
     "how long would that be?" i scoffed shaking my head while glancing up at the dusk sky. he only shrugged moving his eyes to me; i saw through my peripheral vision.
     then he did something that i did not expect. with his soft, warm hand, he put it on top of mine. i looked at his hand and then at him.
     "not long."
