We walk in silence. It's not uncomfortable though its nice. I take my cardigan off and wipe at my face the bleeding has stopped. Jack just kind of laughs at me and I hit him in the stomach with my arm. He stumbles back and laughs harder causing me to laugh too.
" You aren't very nice. You know." I say looking at him sideways.
" Oh I'm not? Then I guess I should leave you here to walk alone then" he says turning around and walking the other direction.
" I mean sure but wouldn't you just feel really bad if got murdered on my walk home all alone" I say and shrug my shoulders.
" Only nice guys would feel bad." he says squinting his eyes
" OKAY fine you're nice. Kind of. Kind of nice guys walk girls home" I tell him. He laughs again and walks back to me and we continue to walk back to my house in silence.
" so I just live around this corner. Unless you really, really, really would truly like to walk me home"
" I said I would walk you home and unless this corner is your house. Then home it is" he chuckles.
I like his laugh. IM wondering if we go to the same school. It would be nice to have a somewhat friendly face to know in the halls. Maybe we're in the same grade.
We continue to walk and I ask him. To my surprise he says yes. He's a senior this year too.
" You know you acutally live really closely to me." he says looking at the house we've stopped in front of.
" Oh that's great then" I smile up at him
"It is?" he says back eyebrows scrunched up.
" Oh, you don't think so?" I ask. I tip my head to the side.
" No-" I cut him off because for some reason it kind of hurts that he doesn't think so
" I need to go inside and clean up. I'll see you around Jack" I rush up the drive way and into the house closing the door and running up to the bathroom to have a shower.
