I felt a sudden burst of confidence so I decided to tell him the truth. "I mean you already know this but I have a crush on you. Idiot." "Follow me. Or don't. Your choice." I followed him as he speedily ran down to the middle of the forest. He sat down on a little tree stump. "Why'd you follow me." "Because you said to?" "I gave you a choice, why did you choose to follow me." "I mean isn't it obvious. I'm pretty sure we both know I trust you." "I could've come out here to kill you." He did an open laugh which got me scared. "But I'm not so don't worry. Anyways, I'll be leaving." "No! Don't leave me here in the pitch black forest! Take me home! I don't know my way around here that well!" He sighed. "Why do you want me to take you home?" "Because I don't even know how to get home!" He pushed me against a tree and held me there, still as anything. "I'll take you home on hmmmm. 5 conditions!" "Narrow it down to 1 and we have a deal." He chuckled but didn't move his body whatsoever. "We have a deal then." "The condition?" "I'll tell you when your home." He started way sooner than I expected but I managed to catch up just as we exited the forest. I was surprised to be directly next to him since he's the one kid that I've never talked to I don't even know how he got my number. I mean he is my next door neighbour so that would explain a little bit. I was so lost in my thoughts that the time I even thought of home I was there, stood in front of it. I looked back at Ares and smiled. I began to walk off but he held my arm. "Where are you going?" I pointed to my house so he knew that we were there. "No, the condition remember?" "Ugh, what is it Ares?" "That you completely ignore my existence and if we run into each other, pretend we're strangers." I stared at him, my face completely blank with sadness in my eyes. "What's wrong with you?" I stared at his perfect face, the way his hair curves like that, his muscular arms and most important his arrogant smile. I saw my mom coming out and before I could run and hide Ares dragged me to the side. "It's my house! What's wrong with you?" "I want to change the condition." "What is it now?" "That I can come into your room whenever and kiss you." I stared at him, I tried to express a different emotion but I couldn't stop feeling hot and flirty. My mom was suddenly stood next to me. "HOLY SHIT!?" I jumped up a bit barely even noticing her existence. She grabbed me tight round my wrist and started to drag me back into my house. "DON'T TRY GET INTO MY ROOMMMMM!" I tried my best to scream without my mom smacking me with the slipper. She tried to but I dodged by accident. I got sent up to my room. My sister, who usually stole my room, was in her own room for once so I could finally use my PC. I typed up random sites that might of led to 1,000 slipper beatings. At 11PM I was confident no one would come into my room and try to kiss me. I finally settled into my bed and closed my eyes. What seemed like two minutes after, which was actually 2 hours later, I got woke up by all the animals making noise and trying to get through the window. "Jesus whats going on." I also heard a noise so I too leant over my window just enough to not fall out. I saw Ares at the bottom of my house trying to climb the plants that run up the wall, I tried to tell my mom the plants were a bad idea when we moved here but she decided to put them right where someone can climb into my safe space. Also known as my room. He couldn't climb it at first but then started to speedily climb up. I didn't know what to do so I closed down my PC, shut off my phone and hid under my bed. I was serious about crushing on him but for some odd reason I didn't want him to kiss me. He got up and into my room after quite a lot of trying and wondered round. He acted clueless but I knew that he knew I was right here. Lying under my bed waiting for him to find me. "Oh it's so hard to find someone who hides in the obvious places." He sounded genuine so I wiggled my way from under my bed to under my desk. I could finally sit up so I did and knocked my head on my desk. "Agh!" He looked under my desk and grabbed hold of my neck and dragged me out. He stood me up and stared me dead in the eyes. "Who did you think it was? A robber? A killer?" "I mean no. Not really." "Then why'd you hide?" I stayed deadly silent in case he didn't remember about the condition. "I can tell exactly what your thinking about. Is it the condition?" I looked at him and nodded. "Well then. I still haven't had my payment for walking you back have I?" I nodded. "You have!" I tried talking him out of it but nothing worked. "I can't be your crush if your scared to even kiss me." "I'm not scared!" He pushed me against a wall and started to come closer to my face until they were centimetres apart. "You scared now." I squeezed my eyes tight and shook my head. "Really?" He somehow brung me even closer our faces now touching. I was surprised he could even move my weight cause everyone always called me fat. Maybe they were all just bullies after all. He closed his eyes so I squeezed mine tight as well.
