____________

JJ and Simon enjoyed every single bit of time they've spent so far at school. Class was over, though. And JJ didn't forget about the one thing he asked Simon.

"Si! Wait up!", JJ sprinted after Simon as he was already at the gates.
"What's up JJ?"
"We're- still gonna hang out- right?", JJ says, almost inaudible due to how out of breath the dark-skinned boy was.

"Grab your bike, I'm waiting here.", And just like that, JJ is off and sprinting towards his own bike before making his way to Simon.

____________

"Where do you live?", JJ asked his 100th question.
"You'll see, I have to ask my mum for permission.", Simon said, hoping he doesn't ask more questions.
"I cycle this way, too! Like when I go home I go past these streets and on this road!", JJ said excitedly.

They make their way to the door, JJ standing a tad behind Simon. Simon moves forwards to knock on the door. He knocks three times before hearing footsteps get to close and seeing a faint shadow walk up to the door.

"Hey Stimpy! How are you?", Simon's mum excitedly spoke. Simon was embarrassed of that nickname and he hoped JJ hadn't heard it.

"I'm fine.. can I hang out with my friend JJ, here?", the word 'friend' lighted up JJ's face. He stepped beside Simon and waved. "Hi, Mrs Simon's mum!"

"Hi sweetheart. Yes of course! Inside or out?", His mom says happily.
"Outside."
"Okay baby, have fun boys!", Simon's mum almost closed the door.
"Wait boys!"
"What, mum?"
"Here!", Simon's mum handed them 10 quid, "For u boys to get a little something something!"
She closed the door.

"Fam your mum is so nice. And she's pretty. I get where u got it from now.", JJ said with a slight smirk.
Simon gets flustered at his words and changes the topic very quickly.

"W-where do you want to go...?", Simon's voice shaky.
"There! To those rocks. I chill there everyday with my friends, surprisingly, they aren't here.", JJ grabbed Simon's hand and ran towards the rocks. His grip was tight but not hurt-tight, you know?

They sat on the rock that was stacked on top of the other rocks beneath. JJ sat first, tapping the open space next to him, signing that he should take a seat.

"Want to play a game?", JJ asked.
"U-uhm sure, what game?"
"Truth or Dare.", JJ said daringly.
"Fine, okay. U start."

____________

"Truth or dare?", JJ started
"Truth."
"Okay.. what does Stimpy stand for?"
Simon wishes he could disappear. He was so embarrassed of that nickname, and now his new school 'friend' heard about it, too.

"I- I don't really- know."
"Haha, alright. Ur turn."
"T or d?"
"Dare."
"Ooh, I see. I dare you..", Simon couldn't think of anything to say, until, "..to do a backflip off of this rock down to the floor!"
"What? Do u want me dead fam?!", JJ exclaimed, making Simon laugh.
"Maybe. Now come on, don't have all day."
"Fucking hell."

JJ got up and stood at the end of the rock. Simon was kidding at first, but wanted to see how this ended anyway. JJ seemed very nervous, which was understandable, but Simon couldn't help but think: how does he look good even when he is scared? JJ stood there for a while, avoiding any type of eye contact.
