Chapter 2 i feel pretty

I look outside and see that it's quite dark out. "It's getting late ima head home." "May I walk you?" Asked riff. "You can walk me the 3rd of the way, I don't want my brother to see you."

"What's wrong if your brother sees me?" I didn't wanna tell him, I felt like he'd be angry that I'm Puerto Rican and drift away. "He's over protective, plus I snuck out to see you"

"Oh, ok that's fine but if you get jumped that's your call."

We walked only a few blocks, and it was quite chilly. I was barley shaking but he had noticed. "You cold?" He had a gentle voice. "A little yah" he gave me his Jean jacket it didn't have sleeves but eh.

"You wanna hang out tomorrow, the dance is in a few days so we got time" riff had something in his eyes like he wanted me to say yes.

"What time?" I tried to sound intimidating but it wasn't working. He looked at me then looked down having a little giggle, and having a smile on his face. "When are you free?"he looked back up at me.

"I can go whenever" I nudged his arm I couldn't reach his shoulder he was to tall . "Do you like ice cream?" He asked, my whole body filled up with joy. I only had ice cream once or twice. I looked at him in the eyes as we kept walking, his eyes were gorgeous they looked like glaciers...the color of glaciers. "Yes, but I only had it a few times, I vividly remember what it taste like"

His eyes were something else though. Not ocean, not sky blue, not even baby blue, but glacier eyes.

We were now almost three fourths of the way. It was now more chilly out then when we first got out of docs. "Do you want your jacket back?I can see your goosebumps."

"No I'm fine." He had a bounce in his voice, he wanted me to not feel bad. But I felt bad anyway, it's a sleeve less jacket and all he has on is a tink-top. "You sure?" I looked up at him to study his face. "I'll be fine."

It was now third fourth of the way, "I'll see you tomorrow, here at 12" I said. "It's a date, I'll see you tomorrow." He was about to walk away but came and turned back around. "But are you sure you want to walk the rest alone, you are a pretty girl and trust me I'm from the streets, boys would grab you in an instant."

"Please, so you don't get jumped and raped it's a cruel world we live in." He sounded anxious and worried about my well being.

"Fine." I didn't want him to come, not at all. I get that he cares and all but the 'sharks' will all crowd and fights will happen I don't want that.

We were walking in silence, I was mostly looking down at my feet. Once every few steps I would kick a pebble. "Walking with me is better than walking alone In the dark" said riff "yeah." I was still anxious about Bernardo or even Maria and Anita seeing us or just him.

We were at the side of the building now. "Ok we're here, thanks for walking me" I tried to not sound worried but more bright.

"No problem" said riff "meet back tomorrow where you said?"
"Yes"
"Have a good night Caylee" he walked away waving with his amazing gorgeous smile. "You too." I went to the door and peaked my head out and stayed for a few second to just look at him in awe.

"WAIT RIFF" "YA" he yelled back
"DO YOU WANT YOUR JACKET BACK"
"KEEP IT ITS YOURS NOW"
Oh... my... god... I wanted to jump up and down with excitement.

I went inside to see Maria and Anita.

"CAYLEE! Where have you been, bed empty, no note. You scared us half to bones... uh who's jacket is that?" Anita was giving me a glare but also a worried look it was hard to give back an expression.

"Don't worry about it" I responded looking down trying not to meet her eyes.

Anita guided me up stairs hold me arm, acting  like I'm a two year old. "You know I'm 19, older than Maria! No need to drag me"
