We ran, like bolted.

I would say my hair was blowing, but it wasn't. 

Aaron was grinning, as if this was amusing. 

I nudged him. 

"DUDE, you would've gotten arrested if it weren't for me..." I said jokingly. 

"Hm... Or maybe it's because of you!" He said chuckling. 

I started laughing aswell. 

"Are we America's most wanted?" I asked. 

"NAH, we global!" He said in a funny accent.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Aaron why do you-" I was about to ask him a question, before he obviously cut me off.

"Hold on, sorry, come." He said, leading me to an alleyway with swings. 

"Wow, no park? Just swings?" I said laughing. 

He seemed a bit uptight, with a forced laugh. 

"My dad, and I built this." He said turning serious.

I knew that topic was not good for a first date. 

"Aaron, I was going to ask you, why did you ask me out?" I wanted to know eagerly. 

"Cause you were having fun, you're beautiful and you love your mom." He said with a huge grin. 

"Haha, true. I just thought... You wouldn't wanna hang out with me." I said. 

"I know why Delilah, you know. My dad died from it four months ago, and seeing you reminds me of him." He said, and started swinging. 

"Really, wow that's, that's-" I suddenly stopped, speechless, nothing to say. It seemed like I was bothered, but really the only thing bothered me was the fact that I couldn't find a word to describe how I felt at this certain moment in time.

"Weird? Yeah sorry." He said, looking down. He stopped swinging and kicked his foot into the wood chucks. 

After about a minute, finally the word I needed escaped my mouth.

"An honor." I said, taking a breath, continuing where I left off.

"Really...?" He asked, looking in my eyes. 

"Yeah Aaron, your dad was very strong and I never even met him." I said smiling. 

I started swinging, he got off and started pushing me on the swing.

He stopped, twitching his lips.

"Can I walk you home?" He asked me. 

"Already?" I returned a question. 

"Cops will probably stop by here, that is if David is a snitch..." He said nervously.

It brought me back to reality. I see David tomorrow. Great. School. 

"What school do you go to?" I asked. 

"Might as well ask me for my number, I'm home schooled." He chuckled. 

"I wish I was..." I said, sighing. 

"Why?" He asked.

Aaron and I had left the alleyway at 7. 

We talked about everything and anything. I even told him about the drama at school, 

including the drama with my exes... It caused me to shut down. 

He walked me home and met my mother, finally introducing himself. (I know, on our first date! Or.. er, friendly date!). 

But he told me about his dad so, I could open up to him right? 

"I trust you." Were the last words that left my mouth before he left.

He smiled.

I waited for him to say it back, but the sirens came.

And then I felt the feeling I needed, a friend. 

We went on and on sharing funny stories on the phone, that included embarrassing ones of ourselves and ones we never told anyone... ever. It felt good to trust someone, I mean I could trust him... right

I explained the story to my mom, who called the cops so they could confirm I was not wanted by America, or anywhere. And the cops spoke to me, obviousy not via telephone, we had to go to the station. 

I went to sleep at 11. Tired.

I was at school, first period, nervous. 

I had David for english. 

What would he say? 

I looked down, opened my bag and took out a beany. 

I put it on. 

Of course some people looked, most whispered. 

I wasn't in the mood. Nope.

Everyone was now staring at the door, lots of girls were gossiping. 

But about some boy, "HUBBA HUBBA." "Wooooo weee."

"Settle down." said Ms.Neverson 

"Yeah, settle down..." said David. 

If it wasn't David at the door who was it?

Just then I heard my ex-bestfriend saying, 

"Bye, meet me here at 11:30AM for lunch! I'll give you a tour." 

All I saw was her hand wave, out of the door step. 

And a boy in a nirvana t-shirt... walked in.

Guess guys, who is it?
