Nick decides that we shouldn't leave school and that he'll just order. Nick says that he doesn't want Red to get mad if he finds out I left school just to eat.

I tell Nick to come with me where we could eat. I take him where I always go every morning before school. He removes his cape and places it on top of the moist grass. I take a seat and look up at the stars. The moon shines over the newly watered grass of the football field and it resembles the sparkle the stars let out. I turn around where Nick is already paying for the pizza he ordered. He steals a glance towards me and smiles.

I lay my back on the cape full admiring the beauty of the stars. This is why I can't leave Lancaster, if I move out to the big city, all that I'll see are artificial lights and heavy traffics.

Nick drops the box of pizza on my stomach and giggles. I whimper at the pain. I push my body up to sit and open the box. I take the magnificent aroma of freshly cooked pizza. I take a slice and instantly put half of it in my mouth. This is what Lancaster is all about, mouthwatering, saucy, and aromatic pizza, better than Italy, even though I haven't been there.

"Slow down. You might choke..." Nick chuckles.

He pops open a soda and takes a sip.

"This... Is... So... Gooood..." I mumbled the words while chewing the delicious pizza in my mouth.

"You know what they say, a way to a man's heart is through his stomach." I look at him and he winks.

I laugh way too loud. "Aren't you going to eat?" I wipe a tear from my eye. It's my third slice and he still hasn't taste one.

He shakes his head. "M'still full."

"Suit yourself... You're missing out what's probably the best pizza in the world." I say sarcastically.

I feel my cellphone buzz in my pocket. I push it out with a tissue, because my hands are covered with grease.

Red is calling me. My heart leaps in excitement. I really miss his voice.

I push the green button to answer it.

Nick is just staring at me blankly.

"Hey, love!" He cheerfully say.

"Hi!" I can't hide my eagerness. It's been hours already, but I really miss him.

"How's the dance?" I can hear him watching a game. Joey and Kevin are shouting about raising a red flag? I don't really know a sport with red flags.

"It was unbelievably fun! At first I thought I'll get bored, but when I joined with the dancing and jumping, it was pretty fun." I try not to sound excited about it, but failed miserably. Nick seems to be amused with what I said.

"You seem to be having a great time..." He really suck at pretending like he mean every word. I can imagine the disappointed look on his face.

"Uhm... Well, it's my first time..." I defend myself.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot... Well it's already past 8, what time should I pick you up? And is that loser with you?" I roll my eyes. I know he meant to say it out loud so Nick would hear it.

Nick takes a slice and starts to eat, but his eyes are still on mine.

"Uh, yeah. We ordered pizza, because I got hungry... I guess you could pick me up around 10? Is that okay with you?" My heart is racing. Everything that I said could spark a plug to him.
