Paint the town red

You and Kyle meet up after school and plan to start to build the booth considering the fundraiser is in two weeks. "hey" you say as you put your hair into a messy bun and roll up your sleeves to start painting. "hey" Kyle reply's walking into the art room setting his bookbag down. "so where should we start..." Kyle says looking at all the plywood. you go stand next to him and open your notebook to a sketch you drew. "I was thinking we could make something like this?" you say shyly "Woah did you draw this" Kyle asks as he examines the drawing. "yeah, I did, its bad though I just was scribbling ideas down and-" Kyle interrupts you "no it's amazing. you're really good at drawing" you smile and try to hide the redness in your cheeks and get to work. "Do you want to play some music?" you ask Kyle? "sure" Kyle picks up his phone and opens Spotify "What kind of music do you want to listen to?" "I'm good with anything," you say which is true "I hate when people say that" "Just play your playlist" "You're probably not going to like my kind of music" "Play a song and well find out" he caves in and hits shuffle on his phone. the song Vienna by Billy Joel starts playing. he looks at you waiting for approval, once you realize what song it was your head shoots up "omg I love this song!" you see relief in Kyles face "really?" "Yeah growing up my mom always used to play it in the car" you guys continue to talk about music and then your conversation trails off to different things. "No way I don't believe you" "it's true" "so you're telling me you and stan were the best at guitar hero in the whole world?" you say in disbelief "it's true. if you don't believe me then you'll have to come over so I can show you my skills" Kyle says but instantly regrets it, was he too blunt. "Yeah, you should invite me over, I would love to see your skills" Kyles face blushes so much as he turns to look at you, but you're focused on painting. you guys stay for hours after school and are having such a good time building and painting the booth. you touch your face and get paint on your face. Kyle notices and laughs "what?" "You have paint all over your face" he says dying of laughter. "its not funny" you try to wipe it off but it's making it worse cause you have paint on your hands. "you're making it so much worse" he keeps laughing at you. "it's not funny" you say even though you thought it was pretty funny. "you're right its not funny its hilarious" he laughs. you have paint on your hands, so you reach up and touch his face and get paint on his face. "Look who's Laughing now!" you smirk at him "oh really you want to play that game" he puts paint on his hands and tries to put it on your face, but you move "NOOOO" you laugh and try to run. you both pick up your paint brushes and are flinging pain at each other. you both stop and are dying of laughter. "truth" you say putting your hand out to shake his hand. you slowly walk towards each other. you get closer to him and put your hand out for him to shake but you move with caution. "Truth?" you repeat. you think he is raising his hand to shake yours but instead he wipes his painty hand over your face. then he cutely says "truth!" you both start dying of laughter as you look at how covered you both are in paint. "Wait I have an idea come here. you go to where your booth is "give me your hand" Kyle gives you his hand and you paint it and then push it to the booth leaving a handprint "it's like signing out name on our work "he smiles liking the idea "give me yours" you give Kyle your hand and feel butterfly's as he firmly pushes your hand to the booth leaving a handprint. you both look at your handprints. you take a selfie of you both covered in paint and post it to your private story, and you head home.

*at home*

you walk in the door and your dad goes "you're home late how was working on the project..." his sentence trails off "I'm not even going to ask" he says "it's for the best" you say, and both laugh. You go shower and get all cleaned up before dinner. you can't stop thinking about you and Kyles conversations and how much you like being around him.
