Chapter 4: I Think we're Alone Now

J.T. asked me out 3 days later, and I said yes by accident. He asked me when I wasn't paying attention at all. He picked me up that Friday at my house.

"You guys be careful, okay? Be home by eleven." Clarke called, even though she probably wouldn't be home when I got home since she and Marcus are going out to dinner with Marcus's boss.

"Sorry about her, she's kind of overprotective since me and Marcus are all she has."

"It's okay; I actually thought it was kind of sweet."

I blush and we walk to the movie theatre.

"J.T.! I can't believe we got kicked out of the movie theatre!"

"I didn't think those gummy bears we threw on the ceiling would come down!"

"Neither did I but when they did, I think I lost it then. And then there were the Milk Duds..."

J.T. laughed and said, "I didn't know they would stick to people's heads! And it's not my fault that guy was balding!"

I giggled and asked, "What should we do now?"

"You wanna go to the park? It's only nine-thirty." So we walked to the park.

I jump on the swings and J.T. sits on the swing next to me and we swing together. When he gets high enough, he jumps off and starts teasing me about being to chicken to jump off, so I jump off and stick my tongue out at him and he starts chasing me.

We finally stop and lay down in the grass.

"J.T., look at the sky! It's amazing... it looks like a black canvas with white paint splattered on it. Like a Jackson Pollock painting." I sit up and look.

"Yea... it's really something." I turn my head to look at him. He is now sitting up, holding his body up with his arms. I look up again.

"Sure is." I look at him and he's leaning into me. I lean into him also and close my eyes and kiss him.

'What am I doing?' I think. 'Delia, you can't do this. You're just going to get your heart broken like the times before that, no one has ever really had a crush on you, they just felt bad for you, or you were just a bet. You're crazy!'

"Delia..." J.T. says after a few seconds. "Are you okay?"

"No. I'm sorry J.T., I can't do this." I get up and run away.

Little did I know that there was someone who saw it all.
