I nodded my head.

"Well I better get going before my mom questions what we've been doing", he said starting to walk out.

"One more thing", he said walking back over to me.

We embraced in a kiss. A few minutes passed and we finally broke apart and he left.

*Monday After School*

I remembered him telling me he had baseball practice after school, so I went to go say hey to him. I walked up to the dugout and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey Jesse", I said.

"He wants nothing to do with you", one of his friends commented.

"Is there something going on between you and that chick?", another guy asked.

"No. Nothing", he said shyly.

Jesse turned around and could see the hurt in my eyes. I walked away. I drove back to my house. I went and sat on his porch for him to get home. 45 minutes later he finally pulled into his driveway. He got out of his car and noticed I was on his porch.

"Either we are going out or we aren't. You are gonna have to let me know, cause I am confused", I stated.

He sat down next to me. I got up and was ready to leave.

"Laura. Just hear me out?", he asked.

I turned around.

"I just don't feel like now is the best time to tell everyone about, ya know, us", he said.

"If you are embarrassed to tell your friends that we are going out, then we can end this right now and I will pretend I never knew you!", I yelled.

He walked over to me and put his arms around me.

"No. You are different. And I love you for that", he argued.

"Jess, when I came to your practice today and you said there was nothing between us, that really hurt", I explained. "And I don't wanna stay on the sidelines forever".

"I will tell them tomorrow then", he said. "Is that okay?".
