The next day, I went to get my food and then to the bleachers where out little date will be.

A minute later, Putzie came with a smile. Oh no. I'm gonna lose my concentration.

"Hey Jan!"

"Hi Putzie," I giggled like a little school girl.

"Did you get started?" I shook my head. "I just started having lunch."

Putzie's smile disappeared. "Shoot! I forgot to bring my lunch!"

My eyes lit up, "you can have some of my stuff!"

I took a lunch bag even though I have a tray.

"Wow. That's a lot. Why so much food?" He asked me.

I confessed looking through my lunch bag, "I'm a bit of an over eater. I always eat every period of the day especially lunch."

Putzie asked me, "Do you ever get sick after eating?" And I shook my head. "I have a really strong stomach," I explained. "I hardly get full unless it's something bad." Then I asked, "Y' like egg salad?"

"Are ya kidding?" Putzie asked surprised, "egg salad is my favorite!"

"Well then you're in luck." I took out the egg salad sandwich and gave it to him and he took it.

"I also have apples, Twinkies, chips, and a couple other stuff!"

"Can I have an apple?" He asked.

"Sure..." I took an apple out and gave it to him and then I took a Twinkie out to eat it.

"I don't have anything for you to drink though. All I have is milk." I said sadly.

Putzie sits next to me eating the sandwich and sighs, "yeah. It's alright. I'll just have a Coke!" He takes a bottle of Coke out of his jacket.

I remember how Coke was like. "You shouldn't really drink so much Coke. It rots your teeth!"

"Thank you Bucky Beaver." He says as he takes a sip.

I shouted trying to explain, "No! I ain't kidding! Someone once told me this scientist knocked out one of his teeth and put it in the glass of Coke! And then a week later, it rotted away until there was nothing left!"

"Oh for Christ's sake!" He shouted angrily which made me shocked. I never seen him angry before. "I ain't gonna carry a mouthful of Coke around for a week. Besides, what do you care what I do with me teeth, huh? It ain't your problem!"

I softly replied, "No I guess not..." I looked away for a moment and then he asks coolly, "Where are you in the book?"

I looked back at him and answered, "Act two, scene two."

"That's the classic scene. It's the one with the balcony right?"

I sighed, "Yeah. I kinda got stumped on that one."

Putzie then said, "How about I read for Romeo and you read for Juliet?"

"Sounds...Perfect!" I knew this would happen. So after we finished eating, he was and I read the balcony scene. "...Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him. When he bestrides the lazy-puffing clouds. And sails upon the bosom of the air..." He recites so dramatic and his eyes sparkles as he said that. I was looking at him the whole time instead of the book, he looked up at me and asked, "Jan? It's your turn."

"Oh... Right..." I shook out of my dreamy distraction and then recites, "O Putzie! Putzie! Wherefore art thou Putzie?" I suddenly realized what I just said and mouthed the S word and then recites once more, "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet."

Putzie was staring at me and snapped out of it before he recites, "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Jan is the sun. I-I-I mean Juliet is the sun!" Then he swore to himself.

I giggled and snorted. "You're on the wrong page!" Then I can't stop laughing. Putzie started laughing so hard. Honestly, that was the longest I was laughing since John left. As soon as we stopped laughing, he sighs. "Oh boy. You're in trouble."

"I know."

Putzie apologizes, "I'm sorry I said your name, I mean you look really beautiful as Juliet. That's kinda the reason why."

"You too." Then there was an awkward pause, "I mean with Romeo. You're quite handsome for that role!" I smiled, but my face turned red of embarrassment. "To be honest, I kinda have a crush on you for a while." I looked away hoping he wouldn't be mad at me. Instead all I hear is, "same."

"You have a crush? On me?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yep!"

He has a crush back! Oh my god! Marty is right! We seem to be a perfect match!

"I was thinking..." Putzie started.

"What?" I asked.

"About that since the gang is going to Frosty's tomorrow night. I thought... Maybe we can go together..."

I asked slowly, "Like a date?"

Putzie smiled. "Yeah! A date!"

I beamed. "Then it's a date!" I giggled excitedly but stopped when I realized I didn't study. "Oh shoot. I didn't even finish the whole book."

"Wait!" Putzie rummaged into his pocket and pulled out the graded English test. "Take this! I don't mind at all!"

I took it and noticed everything he got was right. So then I replied, "Thanks."

"No problem!" Putzie got up to leave. "I have to go find the guys! Later Jan! And good luck!" Then he left.

I clutched the paper to my chest hugging it happily.
