Layden's Pov from last chapter

As I was smoking my cig I hear a knock on the door, I check through the peephole and low and behold it's the one and only Arielle.

I open the door, wondering how she got my address in say,

"Hey stalker, what are you doing at my house?"

"Well first of all, I found your address on the school directory and I came here to force you to help me on this project. Because the ultimatum you gave me was really unfair and I won't be able to do this all by myself." Shes say almost running out of breath. I thought it was kind've cute.

"Fine, come in." I say sighing, I didn't mind having her company anyways, sometimes it does really get lonely.

"Really? That easy?" She says surprised.

"I'm too lazy to even fuss with you right now." I say as I put out my cigarettes, I know she didn't really like smoking so, I did that just for her.

"Ok then, shall we get started?" She asks.

"Alright follow me." I says leading her up stairs.

Eventually we reach there and we end up in my room.

"Wow, I didn't know you liked John Constable." She says staring at the painting.

"Wait, you know him?" I say surprised, I've never really met someone who likes art like me.

"Yeah I have the same painting home." She responds. With one of her pretty little smiles.

"I'm surprised not many people our age cares about the beauty of art." I say sitting down on the couch.

"I think art is very lovely." She says smiling down at me again.

"Alright make yourself at home." I respond

She takes the seat at my desk.

"Ok I started 1 page so far." She says but as She says that I get up.

"I'm hungry, are you?" I ask, I haven't ate anything since this morning.

"Really? I just got here." She responds

"Alright I guess that's a yes, let's go." I say while putting on a hoodie and grabbing my  keys.

She follows me out the door into my car.

"Where are you taking me?" She says as she's buckling in my seat belt.

"You sure do ask a lot of question, Arielle." I say smirking.

"Well I have to ask questions, for all I know you could be taking me to the woods to murder me, you sure do act like it sometimes." She responds.

"About that, I want to apologize." I said, Hanging out with her made me realize she doesn't deserve the way I act towards her so I tried to smooth things over between us.

"You said what now?" She says surprised.

"I want to apologize, for being a jerk all these years." I say.

"You're forgiven." She says nudging my shoulder playfully.

I'm surprised she forgave me that easily.

At the red light I turn around and give her a genuine smile.

A couple minutes later we arrive to my favorite food truck, I don't ever take anyone here, it's like my comfort spot. But I think I can trust her with it.

"Wow this place is cute." She says while getting out of the car.

"Well, I've been coming here every since I was a kid, it's my favorite food truck." I say while walking shoulder to shoulder with her.
