"We are teens now, we can do whatever we want," Davy stated, puffing out his chest. He had worked all summer at his uncles farm, getting a deep tan and more defined muscles. Suzy, being a 13 year old girl, noticed how he changed from a boy to man in such a little time.
It was the last day before summer ended and eighth grade began so they wanted to do something fun together to make up for the summer spent away. Davy decided it would be fun to sneak out to an old abandoned warehouse. Suzy wasn't on the same page.

"What about when you're not around?" she whispered. He turned her to face him and gently lifted her chin, gazing deeply into her eyes.
"I'll always be around sweetheart, I promise."
