Chapter 7
He Looked down when I saw him sitting there. As I came he looked up. His face was somehow sad. He sat on a bench in front of the school.
" what do you want to tell me?" he was calm as if nothing had happened. " John, I don't know... But he is not found of you being here. He looked for you.. Came down to my house, asked Mark" I took a deep breath and looked in his eyes. They were so beautiful. I could look in them for a long time. " I don't care. Me and him are going to play football sooner or later, right?" " yeah, but I can't live with the thought that he is after you." I said looking at my skateboard. It was so old. I had to get a new one, maybe a longboard. " come with me." " where?" " didn't you want to get away? Wasn't that your plan for the day?" he said it with a smile, was he annoying me or something.
" yeah, but I don't know" I hesitated. He was new here Did he know the place already? " let's go" I said it fast so I won't regret it later.
You know when your parents taught you all that stuff. Like; don't get in a car with a stranger or don't go to an empty place with a person you don't know. Well, I broke all of those rules in a second.
" how can you drive? You are only 15". My question went in my mind when he opened the car door. " erm.. My dad, he trusts me and I am nearly 16. So I can drive. What are you? Afraid of getting stopped by the police?" He shook his head and smiled. Then turned to my face and said. " the thing that happened, I never wanted you to find out that way". He looked me deep in the eyes. I wondered how my green eyes looked when a boy looked at them. " well, I don't know anything.. You have a chance to tell me everything when the time is right" I said it as a joke but he said " I know". He started the white car and drove by school, shops and houses. The car was new. I could smell the new leather. When did he buy it?
I didn't know why but he played music I liked. How did he know I liked this type of music. And the drive went so quick. Suddenly he stopped the car on front of the ocean.
" do you want to take a walk with me?". He looked at the ocean. The sand and the waves and the thought of us alone here. I looked at him and he looked at me. I came closer and so did he. Then we kissed. It wasn't a weird thing. To kiss a guy I just met. It felt right. He kissed me and his kisses were sweet and nice. I touched the back of his neck and he had his arms around my waist. Then I pulled back. " a walk would be great". I said with a smile.
When we stepped out of the car I noticed something. He was smiling and looking at me. And I realized I liked him, no, feelings more deep than that. Did he feel the same too?
