I slumped on my bike, school just ended and I was ready to get to Bella's place and play with Renesme.
I started my bike and it roared to life, my backpack on my back. The school parking lot was crowded with people ready to go home.
I was ready to leave, when I heard someone to call out to me.
Please please, don't let it be—"Crystal! Heyy." I forced a smile as I saw her bouncing towards me.
"Ummm… " she looked down and blushed.
Oh, god, not this
again. "Yeesss?"
She licked her lips nervously. "Can you
give me ride home" she finally said.
"Don't you usually have a ride?" I asked frantically.
"Yeah, but I thought, maybe, you could give me a ride? Please?"
I sighed. "Sure" I mumbled and handed her my helmet.
She grinned and slipped the helmet over her freckled head. She sat on the motorcycle and wrapped her arms around me, squeezing herself close.
I felt my face flush as I noticed people whispering and pointing at the scene.
I tried to ignore everyone and rode away.
As soon as I was on
the road I yelled through the wind "WHERE DO YOU LIVE?"
"WHHAT?"
"I
SAID, WHERE DO YOU LIVE?"
"NO, I DON'T WANT A
TORTILLA!
"WHAT?! WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT TORTILLAS?!"
"I SAID I DON'T
WANT A TORTILLA!"
"I SAID WHERE DO YOU-"
"I LIVE
DOWN THIS ROAD RIGHT HERE!!"
I rode down the road and stopped to a small basic baize house with a white picket fence. She jumped off my bike and took of my helmet, handing it to me.
Her cheeks were pink and she was smiling wide.
"So, uh, see ya." I said awkwardly.
"Bye." She pulled me into an unexpected hug, which was kind of hard, since I was still on the bike. I almost tipped over, but held it still by planting my foot on the floor. I hugged her back softly, making sure not to crush the small girl. "Thanks, Jake. You're really warm, you know that?"
I snorted while
putting my helmet on.. "I've been told."
"Soo, um, are
you gonna bring tortillas on Friday?" she asked.
"Wha? No! BYE!" I rode off without her saying another word. Crazy Girl.
