kris

i give a small smile before he spoke up.

"hey, i'm sorry about the barking, hes still getting used to the new surroundings" his free hand goes to the back of his neck, displaying those muscles quinn was talking about.

"dont worry about it" i say shaking my head, a smile still on my face. "he's so cute what's his name?" i start walking a bit closer but stop right before the property line. a smile appears on his face, giving me a confidence boost and i start walking all the way up to them, stopping maybe a foot away.

"louie, you can pet him if you want." a kind smile rests on his lips, his eyes looking right into mine. i can't help but blush and bend down to pet louie in an effort to conceal it. "i'm trevor by the way" he adds. before i answer i stand back up, left hand still on louie's head.

"kris, nice to meet you." my smile grows bigger as i look him in his light blue eyes, another confirmation of quinn's description.

"i couldn't help but notice you were about to go on a walk" he says in a questioning tone. i give a nod confirming his suggestion, smile still on my face. "would you mind if we came with you? i'm still trying to navigate the area and find a good route for louie" for the first time hes looking away from me, turning down to look at louie who is sitting impatiently. my head leans slightly to the side and right leg crosses over my left while my hands continue to sit together connected at my stomach.

"sure! i never really have anyone who walks with me, they're usually busy inside." with that, trevor is the first one to start walking, quietly telling louie it's time to go. as we walk to the end of his driveway, he looks down at me waiting for instruction on which way to go. i nod my head to the left and we are on our way. it's quiet for a minute, before i decide i wanna start getting to know this guy.

"so, you planning on going to Plymouth high school?" i question, regret starts to fill me, wondering if that's too private for our first real conversation. although that gets washed away when he seems relieved that i asked him.

"uh yeah i am, do you go there?" he looks down at me with a small glimmer of wishfulness in his face.

"mhm i'm about to start junior year. how about you? you have your schedule yet?" shit. another feeling of regret comes over me, i don't want to seem too eager to know about him or creepy or anything like that.

"ya i've got it here. could you take louie for a sec? i'll pull it up on my phone, we might have some classes together, im going into junior year too." he holds his hand out for me to take the leash and for the first time i can really get a good look at his rings. as im grabbing the leash our hands briefly touch. i look back up to him anxiously to already see him looking at me. he looks like he wants to say something, but holds back. i bring the leash down to my side looking back to the road in front of us.

he starts searching for his schedule and in about 5 seconds, he's leaning closer to me trying to show the timetable on his phone. we stop for a quick moment and my free hand loosely grabs the phone, his hand still on it, bringing it closer to my face. nerves rush over me, hoping that i haven't made him uncomfortable. he doesn't pull away which is a good sign. "please tell me we have something together, i would rather not be alone in everything" a nervous laugh escapes his lips, while an even bigger smile appears on mine.

"yes i'm pretty sure we have precal in A, english in B, and bio in D together. i guess your stuck with me most of the day." i let go of his hand attached to his phone looking back up at him. only now am i noticing how close we really are, and how soft his hair looks. just as i was starting to like louie, he barks at us, indicating that he wants to get a move on. i go to hand his leash back to trevor and he takes it, us both starting to walk again. we start talking again and the conversation seems to flow easily. that's until he gets a call on his phone.

"fuck it's my mom, i forgot to tell her i was going for a walk, i was only supposed to take him out and then come back in." he begins talking to his mom but i tune out, thinking about what he just said. he was only gonna take him out and then go back in but he came with me on a walk, does he think i'm cute? no, no, stop overthinking it. he probably just wanted to get away from his parents. "kris? kris!" his hand waves in front of my face, bringing me back to reality. i look back into his eyes and he isn't smiling anymore. "my mom said i have to come back, he has to eat. is it quicker to turn around or keep going? trust me i wish i didnt have to go back but she's like really fucking mad at me" he lets out a nervous laugh and a blush overtakes my cheeks.

"only 5 more minutes until we're back and we've been out walking this way for" i pause, looking at my phone "30 minutes holy shit. i only usually take 10 to walk this" i guess i got caught up and subconsciously wanted to walk longer with him.

"oh shit i'm sorry to slow you down." he looks away from me, still walking forward. my body acts before my mind has a chance to think and my hand comes up to his arm, giving it a reassuring hold. he looks back down to me. is that a small blush on his face?

"don't worry about it, i've really enjoyed walking with you and louie." after a brief second of contact i bring my hand back down to my side, brushing down his arm in the process. "i usually use these walks to kind of be alone with my thoughts when i'm stressed out but it's been nice having someone to talk to." and with that we are brought back to my driveway. as i'm about to start walking back i hear trevor breath out.

"hey i was just wondering if i could get your snap or number or something, maybe we could go on another walk before school starts back up in a few days." he pulls out his phone quickly pulling up a blank contact as he's finishing his sentence.

"yeah of course" i grab the phone from him a little quicker then i would like to admit, putting my number in. he takes the phone back and pulls up snap, handing it back to me to put in my username in. as i add myself, i hand him back his phone muttering a quick text me before giving louie a quick pat and walking up my driveway. he nods his head and continues standing at the end of the driveway. i look back smiling "you don't have to wait for me to get inside it's okay" and he starts shaking his head.

"what kind of gentlemen would i be then?" he gives a jokingly questioning look on his face before laughing "bye bye tour guide" as i'm about to close the door laughing.

"bye" the door closes and i can see through the frosted glass, he stands there for a moment, then starts walking back up his driveway too. my shoes come off and before i can even start turning around i hear quinn.

"your walk took a lot longer then usual. you go with someone?" i can practically hear the smirk on his face. "was that the neighbour i told you about?" by this time i'm fully turned around, red as a tomato.

"maybe." i say not wanting anymore questions, i quickly head up the stairs shutting my door, replaying the past 45 minutes in my head.
