He couldn't speak for a moment because he was so sure she would've said yes and he got quite a surprise. "No?" «What do you mean?» he asked.
«I mean no, I'm not coming» she explained.
«Why?» he asked confused. «That would be such a great opportunity to know each other, I mean, five days all on our own in another city!»
«Still is a no» she said. «Because first of all you're going to be busy all day, what am I going to do the rest of the time? And then what am I going to say to my friends? Oh look girls, school is over and I'm taking a random five day trip to New York on my own.»
«Those are good points» he said. «Do you want to ask someone else to come with us?»
«No, it would just be weird with a third wheel»
«Then, would you like to participate while I'm shooting?» he suggested. «I'm pretty sure you could»
«Still, what am I saying to my friends?» she asked.
«Can you say your family is coming in the USA but in New York and you want to go with them?» he said.
«They'll ask for pictures. I have to make up something.» she said. «But it's ok for me»
They ordered food, ate and then went for a walk.
«Would you want me to keep your backpack?» he asked.
«Will you be this nice?»
«Sure» he answered and took her bag.
After a while they were walking, he remembered when they wandered holding hands even if they we're almost still complete strangers so he grabbed her hand asking if he was doing the right thing.
«How are you doing in school?» he asked.
«I'm going well and it's over on Monday so life couldn't get better»
When he first saw her that day, he felt like she wasn't that happy, but now she looked in a better mood, so he actually felt more confident.
«I just got a blasting idea.» she said after a while.
«About what?»
«To hide the girls that I'm in New York with you next week.»
