AINSLEY WALKER / FIRST PERSON

After the long day of school I was finally home. Today was great to say the least. I got the girl's number that i've been thinking about for a week now and we talked all last period. I hope we get to know each other better. I want to invite her over but knowing my family, they would get in the way.

I didn't have much homework so I decided to text Jordan and see if she wanted to meet up for smoothies. I hope she says yes.

Well it wasn't hard to convince her at all. I walk over to my closet to find something simple to wear. I chose my brown chuck taylors, some baggy dark blue jeans, and an orange tank top with a peace sign on it. Very simple but comfortable.

I run to grab my wallet and keys to my moms car, because I can't afford one yet, and I start heading out the door.

I pull up the directions and start driving over to my destination. I wasn't sure what we were going to talk about but hopefully something that will make us know more about one another.

As I arrived at the smoothie place I can already see Jordan sitting at a table.

I hope she wasn't waiting for too long

I walk in and wave with a smile to bring up the mood. I feel bad that she got here before me.

"Hey Jordan!"

"Hey Ains! I hope this table is alright. Apparently I live right next to this place so I got here pretty quick." She laughed it off.

her laugh is so cute

"This is perfect! Wanna go order?"

"Yeah let's go."

We walk up to the counter, side by side, as we observe the menu. A tall boy walks up to the cash register ready to take our orders.

"What can I get for you guys today!"

I look at Jordan signaling for her to go first.

"Hello, can I just get a medium strawberry banana smoothie please?"

"Sure, what about you darling?"

I take a moment finalizing my decision and chose the same thing Jordan got.

"Can I get the same thing please?"

"Sure, that'll be $10.46 for you guys."

"I got it Jordan, it would be rude for me to make you pay."

She slowly put her wallet back into the pocket of her tote bag and just smiled. After I paid and received our drinks we slowly walked back to our table.

"So tell me something about you J." I demanded in a kind way.

"Well I am from Maine, i'm a senior, and I want to create a band. Boring but I like my life to be simple. Tell me about you."

"Well I am a junior, I love art, cats,
I am from California, and I am studying to be a marine biologist."

"A smart girl huh?"

"You know it." We both laughed while taking sips from our drinks. Hours passed and we realized that it was already 7.

"Shit, I am so sorry Ains, I have to go home, my dad will kill me."

"Don't worry about it J! I had fun hanging out with you! We should do this more often."

"For sure!" We exchanged smiles and walked towards the doors.

I walk Jordan up to her car and without thinking I hugged her. I told her thank you for giving me a chance to be friends and she just smiled and got into her car. I watched her drive off.

tonight was great.
