Anyways imma stop roasting you guys LMFAOOOOO let's get on with the story!

Lexi's POV:

"Finally meeting me after weeks," I commented, as Louis rubbed the back of his neck.

"About that..." Louis began.

"I was kidding, Louis, it's fine." I replied.

"Yeah, but still. I feel bad. I should have-"

I shook my head. "It doesn't matter what you should have done. You can't change the past, and you're here now. That's what matters."

We walked in comfortable silence to the bus station and got on the bus to the skatepark.

"Rusty? Or you still good?" Louis asked, grinning.

"Always good. Don't underestimate me." I sarcastically responded as he let out a laugh.

"Who's skateboard is this, by the way?" I asked him, pointing to the skateboard he had given me.

Louis had brought two skateboards today, and I was half hoping he'd bought it for me because that would be super sweet. On the other hand, I hoped he didn't buy it for me because I'd feel bad for him paying for me.

"Oh, uh, it's Mae's." Louis replied.

"Mae?" I asked as he nodded.

I thought for a few seconds and remembered that Mae and I had gone to middle school together, although we weren't very close.

"The day I didn't eat with you at breakfast she came up to me so then we started talking and became friends." Louis shrugged.

Talking? Maybe Louis liked Mae. 

"As you know, I don't really have tons of friends and everybody who wants to be my 'friend' just wants to be popular so I haven't really made lots of friends. So I thought being friends with Mae could have helped out my lack of friends problem." Louis slightly smiled, waiting for my reaction.

"Yeah, good for you!" I said as he smiled more.

"I'm happy for you, that you made a new friend." I told him, while I started slowly skating in the skatepark.

"Hey, since we haven't talked in a while, wanna play 21 questions?" Louis asked as I nodded in response.

"I'll go first. Uh, who was your first friend ever that you can remember?" Louis asked.

"Um...... I think it was Tiffany." I said, with a slight frown on my face.

"Oh, I'm sorry... You can go." Louis mumbled.

"It's fine. Um, do you like Mae?" I asked.

Yes, I was jealous that Mae was so close to him. But what about it? Could you really blame me?

Louis coughed. "W-What? Mae? Ha! No way. She's only a friend to me. Now, what about you? You like anyone?"

"Hey," I frowned, crossing my arms and stopping on my skateboard. "that's not fair! You don't get to just ask me that!"

"Why not? I mean, you asked me, so might as well give you the same question in return. Besides, you wouldn't be so scared of telling me....unless you have a little liking towards me. Some might say a crush, or.." Louis said, as  I cut him off.
