The school day came and went and before I knew it, it was over.
I was putting my stuff away in my locker, just when Dustin came over to me. "Hey you" he said, I liked that greeting, so I returned the favor, "Hey you". I closed my locker and turned myself to face him. "So what do you wanna do first?" he asked. I smiled greatly, "Anything". "Okay, then let's-" I cut him off by grabbing his hand and carefully running out the door, remembering he had a broken arm. "Wow Zoe, you're fast!" he said. I laughed slightly, "Come on!"
Our fingers laced together and we went all over town, spending the rest of the day together.
We talked and laughed and went into convenience stores without buying anything.
Eventually dinnertime came around and I said, "I'm getting kind of hungry". "I don't have any money" he said. "Me neither" I said, checking my pockets. "Wanna go over to my house?" he offered. "Sure, will you're mom be okay with it?" He had only lived with his mom, just like I had only lived with my dad.
"She's at work" he said. "So it's just gonna be the two of us?" I asked.
"Yep" he said. "Perfect". We smiled again and held hands, walking over to his house.
When we arrived, I took a look at his house for a minute, to capture the image in my brain. "Well, here we are" he said. His house wasn't very big, but it wasn't very small.
It was a two story house built from wood. There weren't any other houses around though because he lived in a forest area. I liked that.
"Watch your step" he said as he opened the door for me, "After you". I smiled, isn't he charming?
Dustin stepped in after me and shut the door while I studied the house in my head. It was a normal sized house, but kind of big for two people. It was also quite tidy and clean. "It sure must be nice not having rude neighbors around, "I said. "Usually I'm at basketball practice anyway, but yeah it's nice I guess" he said. "Did somebody build it from scratch?" I asked as we sat down on the blue sofa in his living room. "My dad built it when him and my mom were still together. He's a construction builder and when he visits us, he's always telling me about his job, that, and to get a haircut" Dustin explained.
I laughed slightly, wondering what he would look like with short hair.
Suddenly there was a moment of silence, nothing but us sitting there, staring into each others eyes. What was he thinking? I knew exactly what I was thinking, I wanted us to kiss again, now.
"Follow me" he said, standing up. "Okay" I replied. He then lead me behind the house where we sat together on a log and kissed once again, but this time it was more like a 'make out' kind of kiss where it lasted longer. We didn't touch each other, because our lips did everything for us.
