Chapter 13: hanging out with oliver

Oliver and I got into his truck when he turned to me and asked "Where"s your sister?" I look at him and say "My mom picked her up today" he smiled and started the truck then began to drive it towards my house. We got closer and closer to my house and he said while paying attention to the road "Well we are close to your house ummm....so....do you wanna hang out this weekend?" I nod and Oliver sighs with relief and says "Cool I"ll pick you up around noon or morning your choice"

"Morning is fine"

"Cool

Oliver pulled into my driveway and my dad came out and so did Oliver"s dad, they were both laughing loudly and my dad said "Josiah that was one hell of a game today"

"Yeah it was Mikey, oh look here are the two lovebirds" oliver looked at me and blushed then rubbed the back of his neck and said "Thanks dad" Oliver"s dad walked over to me and said

"So how you liking the new truck?"

"Dad, I didn"t get to give Anna her test drive yet"

"Well why don"t you do it now?"

"Dad I"m hanging out with Anna this weekend, I"ll do it tomorrow"

"OK, oliver let"s head home" Oliver blushed in embarrassment and said to me "I"ll see you tomorrow" I smile at him and say "see ya Oliver."

During the night I kept having a dream about that boy Jasper, I don"t know what it was about him that got me obsessed with him then I had a dream about Oliver. I woke up to here my sister,ariel yelling my name, I realized it was 9 in the morning and got dressed then headed downstairs. Ariel opened the door and I saw Oliver wearing a hoodie and jeans he smiled as he saw me "Hi Anna, you ready for your test drive?" I nodded and closed the door behind me.

Oliver opened the driver"s side and I thanked him and got in, he closed the door then opened the passenger"s side and hopped in. "OK now all you do is pull that lever down till your at the R symbol" I did exactly as he said and before I knew it I was driving the truck through town. "So Anna how do you like your truck?" While looking at the road I say "I love it oliver, thank you"

"Wanna stop right there?" He pointed to a small store and I braked into the parking lot, oliver and I got out and we walked in. Oliver looked through the aisles and grabbed a few things, some of my favorite things along the way then he walked over to the check out and he said "Hey Anna I"m gonna drive this time, that OK?" I nod and he hopped into the driver"s side and I hopped into the passenger"s side and we drove off.
