I Dream And You Die

drop it already!

Clara got home and went to her room, she was dreading the day and needed a distraction, and wait that's it! her cute classmate asked her out on a date, well something like that.. Clara grabbed her phone and the paper dawson gave her and typed in the number and went to send a message. "Hey Dawson it's Clara! I am ready to see you." "No that's sounds stupid" she said to herself while proceeding to delete the message. "Hey Dawson, It's Clara from your math class!" She read out and sent. She waited a few minutes and got a notification on her smart phone. "Hey Clara, ready to skate?" The message read. "Sure." "Okay let me know your street and i'll meet you at the end of it" He responded. Wow, was she really skating with a guy? or even hanging out with a guy? something she felt she hadn't been able to accomplish. Clara grabbed her purse and put on her shoes and went to go meet her new friend. "Dad i'm going on a walk!" Clara yelled. "No you are not" a voice called from behind. "what, why?" "Did you not see the news Clara? A kid was murdered, who went to your school." "Dad I am going with a friend i'll be fine." Clara answered while rolling her eyes. "well you better have your phone on you at all times kiddo, and i'm glad you're making friends, be home in 2 hours, love you." Her dad demanded. "Love you too dad! bye!" Clara walked out and went to walk to the end of the street. At the end she could see a figure, tall, dark hair, red sweatshirt and jeans. As she got closer she saw the face of her now date. "Hey" Clara called out awkwardly. Dawson turned around startled. "Hey loser, skate park is close, let's go!" Clara then smiled and walk beside him on the sidewalk. "So are you the pro skater of wellsfield?" Clara giggled. "I'd like to think I am, this town is so underpopulated that I might be the only." "What is this a retirement town" "pretty much" He answered. They got to a local skatepark, it was big it was different it was so cool. "here take this board and i'll show you what to do" Dawson yelled while walking away after place down the skateboard. Clara smiled and picked it up. Clara just met the guy that day, but she really felt something already. Why did she even go with him? He's just another one she's gonna loose, he's either gonna leave her or who knows maybe he'll die in a fire too. "Clara" Clara then flinched. "yeah?" she responding while snapping out of her distracting thoughts. "It's okay to be scared I mean when I first started it scared the crap out of me, I even broke my ankle, but you'll get better" Dawson reassured. Clara put her feet on the board and started to go forward, Dawson held onto her hands helping her keep balance and making sure she didn't fall. She wobbled a bit and slid off launching forward. "Clara oh god are you okay" He asked her while crouching next to her. "yeah I am fine" Clara laughed. "That was really funny you gotta admit" She continued. They both laughed and he helped her up. "Let's try that again, and you'll get so good at it" Clara got on the skateboard again and concentrated on keep her balance, still holding on to Dawson she went faster and faster until she got the hang of it, she slowed down and eventually stopped. "You're getting better than me Young" Dawson joked. "And you're a liar" They both started to laugh and sat down on a ramp. "I think you're pretty cool, considering everyone else here is the same" "Yeah my old town was basic and boring too" Clara explained. "oh shoot" She continued. "What is it?" "I have to be home, like now." "Okay well i'll walk you home." So they both got up and walked back to Claras street. "Hey so tonight was fun, and i'll see you tomorrow?" Clara mumbled. "Yeah, you will." They looked up and down at each other's eyes, down each others faces, and got closer, they were so close they were eye to eye. "Clara?" A voice from behind her. "oh Audrey, hi this is-" "Dawson, I know, it's dinner so hurry up" Audrey finished while running up their driveway. "sorry, see you soon!" Clara blurted while giving him a kiss. "Bye" She yelled again while going into the house.
