The Challenge

School just ended and Sean is waiting for Lyssa by her locker. Lyssa sees Sean waiting and walks over to him.

Hey. Lyssa said as she smiled at Sean.

Hey. Sean replied as he smiled back.

So what's there to do around here? Lyssa asked walking around.

Well we could go get something to eat, or a movie or walk around the mall, or we could just go somewhere and talk.

Lets go somewhere and talk, I want to get to know you.

Cool, there's a park by me if you wanna go there.

Yea sounds good.

They started to walk towards the park.

So what did you like it in N.Y?

It was cool I mean I new everyone I knew the places I went out and partied all the time. But I also got into a lot of trouble and that's how I ended up here.

What do you mean, you go in trouble all the time?

Well when I was in eighth grade I got kicked out of 4 different schools arrested twice and sent to a residential for a month, and thats only the simple things.

Funny I never would have thought of you being a troublemaker.

Don't judge me by how I look. But anyway the second time I got arrested I was put on probation. When it was over and I didnt have to report every week my mom decided it was time for me to move. But she stayed in New York. She said as she stared at her feet.



Wow that's brutal, How do you pay for the house?

My mom sends me a check every month. But its not that bad I never really go along with her anyway.

Yea I live with my brother, my parents a drunks. Wow I can't believe I just told you that.

Why? she said looking at him curiously.

I don't like to let people know that my parent's are drunks. I don't want them to judge me by my what my parents do.

I don't judge people I don't know, or by what there friends and family members do.

Good to know. So what do you lke to do for fun?

Well I uhh play basketball, chill with my friends, and try and meet guys. What about you?

I like to fix anything with an engine and I like listen to music, have you found anyone yet? Sean asked as they arrived at the park and sat on some benches.

What? she asked a little confused.

You said that you try and meet guys. Have you found one yet? He replied looking at her curiously.

I got my eye on someone.

Really? And who might this person be?

Your just going to have to wait to find out.

Why?

Because I don't talk about certain things, and thats one of them. Hey I'll tell you what. I will play you for the answer.

What do you mean? he said looking at her confused

I play you one on one, you win I'll tell you who I like. But if I win you have to tell me who you like. Fair?

Okay, what if we tie? Not that we will because I'm going to win.

Don't be so cocky, but if we do tie we both have to tell each other who we like, okay?

Okay, when are we going to play?

Saturday afternoon at the park, 12:00. Okay.

Okay sounds good.

Look I gotta get home I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Okay Bye.

Later

Lyssa started to walk away she turned around and at waved at him. Sean watched her walk away until he couldn't see her any more, then turned to go home.
