Period 13: Young Love
Katana: Sorry this chapter is soooo short…but that's the way the cookie crumbles….
After a few more minutes of playtime, Mrs. Paul tapped Mello on the shoulder, "Since you and your friend are here, I decided that we are going to take the kids to the playground." Mrs. Paula clapped her hands to get the children's attention, "Everyone grad a buddy. We're going outside!"
The class paired up, a little blonde boy named Nathan grabbed Mello's hand and dragged him into the line while a curly brown-haired girl named Gabby smiled sweetly at Matt and he held her hand. The caravan of 2 year olds then headed outside. Once outside Matt headed to the merry-go-around and Mello started to play ball, after much protesting, with Nathan.
Mello kicked the ball to Nathan who ran away then ran back and kicked it to Mello. This exchange continued until Nathan decided to pick up the ball and throw it past Mello. Mello sighed and ran off to get the ball and when he turned around Nathan was behind him. He had his head down and in his outstretched hand was a dandelion. Mello looked at the flower for a minute, then asked, "For me?"
Nathan nodded, still looking at his feet. Mello looked around quickly to make sure no one was looking and, grabbing the flower, muttered a quick, "Thanks."
He walked away from the kid and Matt put his am around Mello's shoulder, "Aw, isn't that the sweetest thing!" Mello pushed his friend's arm off, "If you tell one person, I swear I'll…"
Matt smiled and grabbed the flower, "I won't, I promise." He put the flower behind Mello's ear and ran away.
