The next day was a long one and since I hadn't seen or talked to Landon since the day before, it wasn't any easier. I found myself thinking about him in class, and even in my dreams; maybe I should just try and move forward on our relationship, instead of holding onto the past. School had just let out and I gathered my things and began walking to my car. Once I was close enough, I could see Landon leaning on my car, watching me. He had on a half-boyish grin and I could tell he was happy to see me.

" Hello Landon!" I said nonchalantly, trying to hide the excitement in my voice. He just looked so cute like that.

" Hey Jamie…" Landon said looking towards the ground. He looked up quickly and we made eye contact for barely two seconds.

" Lemme help you with that…" he said grabbing the pile of books in my hands, so I could pull out my car keys.

" Thank-you" I said kindly.

" So uh… have you thought about what I said?" Landon said with a hoping eye.

I was so busy trying to get my car door to open that I didn't hear what he said. As much as I was thankful for it, the car was a piece of junk, any genius could figure that one out.

When I didn't answer, I guess Landon took it as an instinctive to continue.

" Please, Jamie can we please just go somewhere and talk?"

" Um… sure" I said with a faint smile. " Why don't you meet me at my house and we can discuss this over lemonade." I said warmly.
" Do you need a ride?" I asked, deep down hoping that he would.

" Um… I guess so, I did walk to school today, the car's in the shop, but only if you wouldn't mind." Landon said questioning me if it was ok.

" Sure… I mean were going to the same place anyway. " I said with a smile. ' Where did that come from?'

Landon's POV:

I can't believe Jamie's being so open today. I had a feeling it'd be much harder to get her back then this. ' Now lets not jinx this, Landon' ok ok… why would Jamie be so kind to me… she's supposed to be pissed… I guess that's why I love her so much… she's not like other girls. Now if only I could get her to realize how much I do care for her.

"Landon??" Jamie said breaking my state of thought.

" Yeah…"

" You can get in the car, I don't bite…" Jamie said with a laugh, she had opened the door for me to get in.

" Oh… um...ok…" I said climbing in and placing my book-bag on the floor in front of me.
