(Allison's Crush)
*September 14th, 1941*
*2:42 pm*
It was a beautiful yet chilly day as Charlotte and Allison were waiting for Mary as they were talking in the meantime.
"You'll definitely enjoy Mary's company and she's very nice as well so this picnic is gonna go quite swell" Charlotte had spoken to her friend which made Allison smile as he began to speak.
"Thank you for inviting me and It seems like I'm gonna have a good time with you and Mary" Allison had spoken back as he and Charlotte smiled together as they looked over to see Mary leaving the orphanage as she wore casual summer clothes while smiling at them.
"Good Afternoon, Charlotte. This must be your new friend, right?" Mary had asked her friend as her question was met with Charlotte nodding her head in confirmation.
"Correct, His name is Allison and he's a new friend of mine so please be sure to treat him with respect and kindness so he could feel welcome" Charlotte had answered back as she saw Allison walking towards Mary.
"Hey, my name is Allison. It's really nice to meet you and I hope we can be good friends since I heard plenty of good things about you from Charlotte" Allison had introduced himself to Mary with a smile on his face.
"My name is Mary. It's a pleasure to meet you as well and I hope we can have a good time with each other" Mary had spoken back to her new friend as the pair gave each a handshake as the trio began to walk to their destination which had taken ten to twenty minutes.
*Central Park*
Charlotte and her friends had arrived at the park as the trio had setted up their picnic before sitting down.
"Do you have any plans on getting adopted or do you plan on staying at the orphanage until you are of legal age?" Allison had asked Mary as he handed his new friend a sandwich while waiting for his answer.
"I honestly don't know yet but If I had a choice than I would probably choose to be adopted since I don't wanna end up being homeless once I'm eighteen" Mary had answered back as she taken a bite from her sandwich while Allison nodded his head in understandment as Charlotte begun to speak.
"Hey, just know that you are always welcome to stay with me and my mother once you do reach the legal age since I don't ever want you to end up being homeless but the choice is up to you" Charlotte had chimed in the conversation as this made Mary smile at her offer.
"Thanks, my good friend. I'll keep that in mind for the foreseeable future but to change subjects, What are you and Allison plan on doing for the school year since I believe homecoming is around the corner?" Mary had asked her friends in a tone of curiosity while Allison began to speak.
"Hopefully I can get to know my friends more and I may join the upcoming homecoming in the coming weeks but I don't have anyone to go with.." Allison had answered back while Mary and Charlotte nodded their heads in understandment.
"I see but you don't have to go out on a date with any boys, girls, and stuff but it's more about spending time with your friends so just do that and you'll have a great time" Mary had spoken to Allison once more as this made him and Charlotte smile as well.
"Yeah, Mary is right. You don't always need a date to enjoy stuff like homecoming or even prom in the next year or two and what matters is having fun with your friends and share special memories with them" Charlotte had chimed in the conversation as those words made Allison smile as he begun to speak as well.
"Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind. It's mostly because I feel like people would find it weird that they're hanging out or dating someone who usually present themselves as feminine but as long as I have friends like you guys than I guess everything is gonna be okay!" Allison had spoken to his friends in a tone of relief as he let out a relieved yet cute smile which made the others smile as well while the trio continued to eat their lunch for a few more minutes.
"So, How's Emma been doing? It's been quite some time since I've seen her but I'm hoping she's doing okay" Mary had asked Charlotte with a hint of curiosity as her friend began to speak.
"Emma has been doing good lately! She's just getting used to Highlands after transferring from the academy but she's really been loving the new environment which truly makes me happy but we're also going out on a date in the coming days as well" Charlotte had answered back to her friend which caused Mary to nod her head in understandment.
"I'm glad to hear that. I remember you telling me how horrible Judith was to her throughout the last school year as well so It's a relief that she doesn't have to worry about that" Mary had spoken back to her friend as Charlotte nodded her head while looking over to see Allison looking away with a red face which piqued her interest.
"Friend, Whatcha thinking about? You seem quite flustered over there" Charlotte had asked Allison in a tone of curiosity as she waited for an answer as Allison began to speak.
"Nothing too crazy but it's just that you were talking about dating Emma and it really made me think about me and..." Allison had answered back as his face was blushing red which caused him to cover his face in embarrassment.
"Who's the lucky person you're crushing on? We won't tell anyone else if it's okay with you" Charlotte had asked in curiosity as she let out a playful smile while Mary watched the events that were unfolding.
"R-Russell. I-I was imagining me going on dates with him while you were discussing Emma with Mary.." Allison had answered back with his face still covered in hands as this caught Charlotte and Mary by surprise.
"Russell? That's wonderful! He's a really sweet and caring boy so I understand anyone having a crush on him but do you plan on telling him how you feel?" Charlotte had spoken to her friend once again as she was met with Allison shaking his head in denial.
"Nah, I don't know if I can honestly handle being rejected but if that day ever comes then I'll definitely tell him how I feel!" Allison had answered back to his friend as he felt Charlotte's hand being placed on top of his.
"Now that's an honest answer and if you want me to be with you if you ever confess to Russell then I'll happily accept!" Charlotte had advised Allison with a smile on her face while Mary chimed in.
"She's right and just know that I'm also rooting for you as well!" Mary had also spoken out to Allison as those words made him smile.
"Thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind and you guys are the best friends anyone could ever ask for" Allison had spoken back to his friends as he knew that regardless of the outcome, things were definitely gonna work out for the better.
