Walking Alone

6 years earlier (High school days) To think I’m gonna ask out Kristine today, I’ve been nervous since talking to her on the phone last night. I told my buddies today is the day and no more just being some weirdo who watches get in the hallway. Then the bell rang time to straighten my spine and hope I don’t damn stutter. The smell of fries in the air from the cafeteria made my stomach rumble. Oh god please stomach don’t act up now. There she was outside enjoying the April sun, the sun shining on her hair making the brunette look like the autumn leaves from the tones. She has the darkest brown eyes but when the light hits them it’s like they’re the widest brightest eyes ever. I never felt so much for a girl like her besides us being partners in a few classes we started talking more the past week. I have never laughed so much before while we talked and worked together. “Hey Kristine” Okay now remember to talk normal “Hey Quinton, outside today I see” Her smile damn “Yeah it’s nice today” “Yeah it is” Ask now or you’ll never do it “So I was wondering would you like to do out?” “Like as bf and gf?” “Yes” I was looking everywhere but her “Yes I would like to be your gf” She said yes? The mood for the rest of the day was the best apparently the whole school now knows I asked Kristine out. I remember walking by the older kids and my brother saw me giving me heck and saying it won’t last a month. Biggest player in school knows nothing but being a jerk. Walking home with Kristine was the best pretty sure my hands were clammy but she never let go. Coming home to mom is always the best cause she made us snacks. Today she was making cheese buns and they taste f*****g awesome. Dad left us when I was only 1 so I don’t know much of him and never really cared. The three of us in the house was enough to make it feel comfortable. I hope this life never ends.
