me and Jadon both laughed until it hurt. and then we laughed some more. "why did you do that" I said laughing and coughing. "cos it was funny" he said still halfway laughing hallways crying.
"your eyes" I said
"what about them" he asked
"you're crying" I said
"no I'm not" he said with tears still in his eyes
"why are you crying?" I said gently
"because this is how me and you used to be. together. happy. laughing." he said. I was shocked.
"I remember. back when you loved me and I loved you more."
"yea."he said. "those were the days"
"fun times, fun times." I replied. "but they're over now.
I straighten up his collar and walk out of the building to wait for my bus. it pulled up and I went to my bus stop. once again, my mom wasn't there. I walked to the library which was only a couple blocks down. I just got a new phone since kj ruined mine. I texted him to come pick me up. no response. I waited 10 minutes. no response. so I texted Sam. no response. I waited 5 more minutes. then I got a text. "need a ride home?" how did he know? I saw his car pull up to the front doors and I walked out and got in. "thanks but how did you know I needed a ride?" "I followed your bus here.
"seriously dude that's a little creepy."
"them I saw you walking here. so I followed. wanna stop by Starbucks?"
there's something me and him have always wanted to do in Starbucks. I don't remember what it is but we made it up back in 6th grade.
"yea sure" I say. he drove along the road with one hand on the steering wheel and the other determined to tickle me.
"stop it before you wreck!" I yell laughing.
that made him stop. he rolled my window down and it made my hair blow back into his face. he made a couple of spitting noises, swerved a little, then rolled my window up. "that's enough air for you" he said laughing. "oui oui" I said. we pulled up to Starbucks and hopped out the car. just my luck, I wore my Catalina 5 inch heels with my black skirt and white polo shirt. I tripped as I got out of the car and hurt my ankle. he looked at me and said "hello. I'm Jadon. nice to meet you." "wtf dude help me up" I said. he laughed and he carried me on his back into Starbucks. i ordered a double chocolate chip creme based drink with white mocha sauce instead of regular mocha sauce. it tasted just like Oreos. I've been getting it since I was 13. he ordered something but I zoned out just staring at him. we sat down at a table outside. "Is your ankle okay?" he said. "I think so" I say. "you need to take your heels off a try to move your foot around." i do as told and move my foot. it seemed fine but I liked the attention. "ow ow. can you carry me back to the car?" "sure" he said. we got in the car and I said "I was actually okay to walk. you just give really good piggy back rides." I said. he laughed. he turned on the car and started driving. we got to my house and he let me out. "bye liv" he said as I left. "bye, j." I walked in my house, finished my homework and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning at 6:37. to a phone call from kj. "sorry I couldn't come pick you up yesterday. I got grounded. I hope you made it home safe." I hear. "I did. thanks anyway though." I say back. I got up and got ready to go. I waked to the bus stop today and my bus picked me up. soon enough, Sam gets on. I text her. can I sit with you? I get a reply. sure. I went to sit with Sam and talked to her and a couple other people. we got to school and got off the bus when I saw kj pull up in his car. he got out and gave me a hug. he smelled like a cheap cologne. what I saw over his shoulder was unbelievable.
