Chapter 13 (xxJonasIsLifexx)
Allison looked up at her school in the distance. There is no way I'm going to school with Adam today, she thought. I can't risk getting embarrassed any more than I am already.
She made a snap decision. "Let's go this way." She pulled Adam in the opposite direction.
"What? But the school's that way!" Adam told her, confused.
"Wow, you are so smart. Yes, I know the school is that way. We're not going to school today." Allison told him, rolling her eyes.
"We're skipping??" Adam didn't think the little redhead had it in her to skip school. Is she really that upset?? he wondered.
Allison didn't answer, just dragged him off again.

5 minutes later, she was still walking away from the school, and Adam had grown tired of the silence.
"So where are we going?" he asked impatiently.
"Just wait....." Allison told him, annoyed.
A second later, the two found a child's playground, complete with swings and slides.
Adam stared in disbelief. "We're at a playground??"
"Yepp," Allison said, and pulled him towards the swings. "I always came here when I was little. Lots of good memories at this place. Nowadays, I don't usually play here that much. But I still do come to think a lot, when the tree outside my house is either occupied or not an option, like today."
"Oh," Adam nodded.
The two sat in silence for a minute. Then Adam sighed, and turned to Allison.
"Listen, Allie. I'm.......I'm sorry I said those things, okay?"
Allison stayed quiet, as Adam continued.
"I over reacted. And I never wanted to make you upset. It's your phone, and you can do whatever you want. You're not a little kid anymore."
Allison smiled. "Thanks," she said quietly, and gave him a hug. "That means a lot to me. And I'm sorry, too."
The two were interrupted by a rumble of thunder, and it started to rain.
Allison laughed. "Maybe we should find somewhere more....dry."
Adam smiled. "Why not??" he said. "I like the rain. It's more.....romantic."
