death can be so cute and pretty right?

4 Lights

At the time Alice invited me to the lights festival I was too naive to know Alice had a crush on me; no, not just a crush, she wanted to date me; and that invitation wouldn't be the last time Alice made advances in our relationship, trust me, things would get out of control, way out of control, but we'll get to that.

Back to where we were; I wasn't traumatized by the shooting at the church but at was something awful to think so I was sympathetic to everyone there, specially my dad, I worried about him now having a heart attack as much as I worried about my mom.

So; about my date; it was the day of the festival and I asked Paisley what would be nice to wear. Paisley always looked pretty so I could trust her.

I wore all black clothing because it looked cool as hell, same with some accessories for my wrist; a headband and a religious bracelet.

I wasn't the most religious person, but I liked how it looked, so I wore it.

I was nervous when he arrived but he looked nice and treated me nice, this date was set up with potential. Skipping the pleasantries, I remember something; he said, "Wait a sec." And moved aside to answer a text; no big deal.

I wasn't going to panic because he was answering "someone's" text's. It's not like that girl, Nat, was flirting with him or anything.

There was an artificial river in the park; the walkway was adorned with white lights. We walked over the bridge and stopped at the middle point, we looked at the park while we enjoyed the air. There was a big outdoor zone where food stands were set up, it was just beginning to get dark so the lights were turning on.

Just as we were having a nice time, someone came up to talk to Noheus.

It was a girl prettier than me, she was accompanied by a guy that looked alright.

"Diana?" Noh said.

"How have you been?" Diana asked.

"Doing good, and you?"

"I'm doing perfect."

"Diana, this is Lana," Noh looked to me, "And this is my ex, Diana."

"Nice to meet you." We said to each other.

Then she introduced us to her new boyfriend and we parted ways for the time being.

Even though we weren't even dating... Was I worried that Noh would cheat on me? Probably so. I've never even had a partner before and these guys are saying hi like nothing happened.

Well, I'm not one to know how is their relationship now. I wouldn't know if they still had feelings for each other; or if Diana's boyfriend was just there to make Noh jealous. What if I was here on this date just to make Diana jealous in the first place? I mean, the top of the bridge was someplace where a lot of people could see you... No, I'm just being crazy again; still, it doesn't change the possibility.

Either way; we went to see other stands and I don't know if I'm crazy but I think I saw Noh look around from time to time, maybe to see how his ex was doing; I just needed to figure out if he was curious or still had feelings for her.

We go round the same places, I believe so we could end up meeting them again but Noh actually suggested we go someplace else. I hoped he was already over his ex and he wanted to focus on our date.

We sat on a more secluded area of the park; the lights decorating the area were dim and there wasn't a lot of people around. Nearby there was a restroom divided into boys and girls.

We were sitting alone on a bench and he suggested fighting with our thumbs... I won.

Though I knew deep down he really just wanted to hold my hand... was was his next move? A wrestling match to hug? Or was he going to kiss me now?
