Flora bounces the basketball, before throwing it up, it landing in the basket. She grabs it trying to shoot it once again, but she just misses.

"Your not following through", she hears and sees Scott. She gives him a sarcastic annoyed look, "who asked you?" She asks.

She went back to dribbling and he just shrugs and walks down the driveway into the street. She decided she didn't want him to leave just yet.

"Hey!" She says passing him the ball. He then looks at her questionably, but decides to shoot it anyway.

He makes it perfectly. He then sticks his arms out as of it were easy. She throws him the ball harshly and his gives an annoyed look.

"One one one let's go", she mutters and he smirks. She dribbles it for a second and he tries to reach for it. She dodges him by turning and throwing it. "Score", she mutters as he catches it and turns back to her.

He then takes the ball up the drive way, feels around her and shooting. But he doesn't make it. She then catches it and shoots, scoring.

"Your pretty good", he says coming face to face with her. "you know," he says awkardly.

She smiles and he nearly melts, "hey..thanks", she says shrugging. "Not just for a girl...you know, for a guy", he says stuttering.

She crosses her arms, "thanks..". She smiles looking down at her mearly destroyed Converse. He throws her the ball and she quickly catches it.

The stand in silence for a second. "Hey um, you want a pop or something?" She asks throwing the ball between each hand.

"Cool, that'd be great", he says bouncing on his heals nervously.

She nods turning to go inside, his eyes widen as he trails behind her. He smiles to himself and sighs. He was whipped.

They sit in silence, rocking back and fourth on a swing chair. "Flora", Scott says looking at her. "What", she says a little quickly.

"Why do we fight all the time?" He asks. "It's just something we do I guess", she says shrugging. "It's- because you know, I was wondering...I think your a really nice girl", Scott says looking back at Flora.

Flora stares at him for a second, before looking away, smiling. "I always though you hated me.." she trails off and Scott smiles.

"No", he mutters looking at her, she blushes feeling him watching her. He turns toward her a little bit, slowly putting his around around the back of her side of the seat.

"Flora?", "What!" She asks turning toward Scott. Scott almost couldn't speak. "Um...canIkissyou?" He says super fast.

"What are you mumbling?" Flora asks, smiling at him. Scott looks away for a second, clearly nervous. "Um...would it be alright if I..can I kiss you?" He asks again.

Flora turns forward again..."I guess", she says and he scoots toward her. "Great! Ready?" He asks. Flora's eyes nearly pop out of her brain.

"You want to do it now?" She asks scared. "Sure...now or never right", he says blushing. "Unless you don't want too", he mutters sadly.

Flora then grins a little, "ok.." she says turning towards him. They both hesitantly lean in.

Finally they kiss. Butterflies burst from both of their stomachs for this magic moment. (lol sandlot reference).

The break apart and sit in silence. Flora smiles to herself. "Scott", she asks. He leans closer to her, "yeah?"

She squints her eyes at him, "if you mention this to anyone... especially your brothers, I'll beat the shit out of you", she snarls and his smile drops slightly. He turns back to sit normal..."ok", was all he says and Flora giggles.

"I'm glad that was established," she says jokingly, hugging him. He takes in a sharp breath of shock. "This is the part where you hug back", she whispers.

He hesitantly wraps his arms around, her waist as her head rests on his chest. The stayed like that for a few minutes until it started thundering and lightning.

"Hey thank you for tonight...its fun to be friends with someone other than just girls", Flora says as she stands under the Wormers porch, it pouring rain outside.

"No need to thank me, I had nothing else to do, and honestly I feel the same..." He says smiling at her.

"Yeah thank you..." She says leaning in once again. Scotts eyes widen as he leans in aswell. He was surprised she wanted to kiss him a second time, but didn't mind either.

"Hey Flora! It's time to come inside it's pouring!" Her aunt yells from inside. Flora glances at her house and smiles, "it's nice to spend time with you! I wish to do so again!" She says over the pouring rain hitting the roof of the Wormers front porch.

She hugs Scott and he hugs her back. She runs down his front steps and turns around.

"See ya!" She says through the pouring rain, soaking her hair. Scott watches from his front porch as she opens her front door.

He sees her glance at him again, before shutting it.

"Holy shit".... He says to himself, "she's amazing".
