Chapter 6:
Freddy and I took our time just walking to Rocker Road park... I put aside any more thoughts on the kiss and as much as possible never thought of it. And Im guessing he did the same since we started talking and joking around like old times. I missed moments like this. Moments where we'd have a fun talk then it would turn into a serious talk then into a minor argument then into a joke then back into a fun talk. It was like a cycle. And it was like old times. I wanted it to stay like this forever. So I guess, I'm not taking the risk of telling Freddy whatever it is I'm feeling for him. For the mean time, we're both staying this way.
"Well, here we are..." Freddy said as we turned into a corner revealing Rocker Road park. I smiled as the nightly breeze blew a strong cold wind over at our direction making the dead leaves on the floor swirl around our feet. Freddy and I approached the dark playground that was only illuminated by one street light a few feet away. I sat on a swing and so did Freddy.
"Remember when we used to hang-out here a lot? We used to go here every single day after school to study..." Freddy started.
"But we never actually did, did we?" I asked with a giggle. Then there was silence. That's when Freddy and I started swinging high into the air. Laughter filled the silence between us.
"Bet you can't go higher than me..." Freddy said in a challenging tone.
"Excuse me! I can too!"
"Uhm. For years that we had swining contests like these, you never went higher than me!" Freddy said as our swinging patterns went opposite.
"Well that's about to change, Frederick!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Bring it on, Katie-kay!"
I tried my best to swing higher than Freddy. It took me a few seconds to be fully successful.
"Lift off at the count of three..." Freddy yelled so I could hear him.
"WHAT!" I yelled back as Freddy and I swung harder.
"Lift off at the count of three!" Freddy repeated.
"Freddy! We're not 10 anymore!" I yelled back.
"So! It's not like you'll crush me..."
"Yeah but YOU'LL crush ME!" I yelled back with a pinch of fear and excitement on my voice.
"One..." Freddy said starting counting off.
"Freddy! NO!"
"Two..."
"Are you serious!"
"THREE!" He yelled getting off the swing and landing on the green grass. I followed and yelled. I was screaming my lungs out then I landed right on Freddy. Freddy and I were trembling with laughter. We were sort of in an awkward position. I was on top of him. I dont think he noticed but I did. So I rolled over and layed down on the grass and as I did that, Freddy rolled over to get up. Making us in an even more awkward and obvious position. Freddy was on top of me. Both of our smiles faded and I could hear each toher breathing hard. Worse, I could hear my heart beat real loud. And then even louder when Freddy was leaning in.
So much was running through my head. Was Igoing to kiss my only guy best friend in the whole world whom I've known since I was in diapers? Not to mention the only boy I've only ever been in love with. I closed my eyes as Freddy leaned even more in. We were going to kiss. We were going to kiss!
We were going to kiss... AGAIN!
ring... ring... ring...
Crap it! I opened my eyes and found Freddy looking around.
"Sorry. That was my mobile..." I sid staring at him. My phone was still ringing.
"You want to get that?" He asked.
No. I don't want to get it, Freddy. Because I want to kiss you so badly!
"Uh, yeah hold on..." I said getting up and grabbing my mobile from my back pocket. I forgot it was even there. I flipped it and saw the name "Summer" flashing on the screen. I groaned.
"Yes, Summer?" I asked.
"Well hello to you too, Katie!"
"Oh. sorry. Hi Summer..."
"Why do you sound so bummed out?"
"Nothing. why'd you call?"
"I was just wondering where you were..."
"I'm at Freddy's house." I said. Freddy frowned at me. I dont even know why I lied to Summer.
"Really? You're at Freddy's house? You dont happen to have a twin sister whos at Rocker Road park right now, do you?" Summer said in this curious tone. I looked around and found no one around the park but me and Freddy. Honestly, why does Summer seem so scary sometimes?
"Okay, psycho stalker. Where are you! And why did you call!" I asked jokingly. I stood up and went to a nearby tree. I had to get far from Freddy so he wouldn't hear anything we were talking about.
"I saw you guys..."
"Yeah. Okay I get that, but where are you!"
"And I saw two of you kiss!" Summer said dodging my question.
"What! We did not kiss!"
"Oh yes you did!"
"We didn't! We would have if you hadn't called!" I said in a hushed tone. Summer gasped.
"Reeeaaallly! so it's my fault now?" Summer asked.
"Technically, yes."
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry, Katie! I really really really am..."
"No. you know what, Summer? Thanks. Because now that I think of it, I don't think I want to kiss Freddy again."
"Right... RighHold up. Kiss Freddy again? Why? when did you kiss him? How many times have you kissed him!"
"Okay. Bye, Summer! See you tomorrow!" I said then hung up. I went back to Freddy who was drawing on the sand. I stared at his drawing.
"What on earth is that!"
"Try to guess..." He said still looking at his drawing.
"Oh! It's a dog..." I said putting my hands inside my font pockets. He looked up at me and frowned then back at his drawing.
"No... actually it's your bass guitar..." He said adding a little last minute touches. I stared at it longer and gave out a small "oh." I took out my mobile, which had a camera in it.
(A/N: you know, the Nokia cellphones with cameras in them!)
"I knew that. But it looks great... Go ahead and pose near it and I'll take pictures..." I said. I started snapping away while Freddy laid down beside his masterpiece and started emoting. I laid down beside him and we took pictures of ourselves. We finished after 10 minutes. After which, we headed back home.
