The Plant

The forest

Some days went by and I felt like I began to know him better. He seemed to still be very discreet and avoiding all conflicts. Couldn't he be more like he was some years ago? Did we all change like that? But no matter what questions came up there was one urge I had. A really strange urge to just...
We were going to a place for lunch this time. Before I knew it myself I reached out to him, snuck my hands around his stomach and began to tickle.
"Ah! Stop it!" He yelled trying to move away from me. He jumped to the side and looked at me with revenge in his eyes. What have I done? He's going to take revenge now. I got to run!
So I ran in the direction of the forest with him after me.
The moment I saw the trees in front of me I nearly panicked and hid behind one of them. He came close after looking around to find me. His eyes were full of excitement. Maybe I managed to free his mind a little bit. I looked away wondering if I had hid long enough. But when I turned around to peek at him I saw him standing there with a grin.
"Got you!" He said as his plants twirled around me fastening me to the tree. Once I was captured he began to tickle me too. I laughed and laughed.
"This isn't fair. You have your plants to help you"
"I know... mohaha!" He said and just stood there looking at me. It felt like he was studying me and I blushed for a moment. Soon after he put me down on the ground again.
For a while everything was quiet. All that could be heard was the nature's sound; birds singing, a tiny breeze of wind blowing.
"I think this is a good spot."
"I agree." Still remembering the look on his face earlier made me self conscious. There was no doubt. He really studied me. Why did he do that? Why? Is this normal? Well. He has plants growing wherever he wants so I guess it's not like he's normal... but...
My mind was long gone when I suddenly saw some fingers snap in front of me.
"Hey! I was thinking"
He laughed. "But you... you looked so funny." I pushed his side. "What in the world were you thinking of?"
"Argh...." I said and pushed him harder. Then I pretended to hit him. But he just took my fist in his hand and continued laughing. Seeing him laugh and smile like that made me laugh too. "You're cool"
"You too" he answered without hesitation.

Suddenly we both realized that class had begun and ran as fast as we could back to the school.
