1.)

So he thought to himself. He sat on his bed and thought of how her face shown through the crowd and how he had tunnel vision directly for her. He daydreamed of her. Day by day class by class he dreamed of her between classes and breaks. He would often think of how much he missed the lovely girl.

"Goodnight"he said quietly avoiding waking his slumbering parents. He closed the computer after closing out Wattpad and tossed in his bed until he was comfortable. He waited until the bleach light from his laptop faded from his eyes until he closed them and slid his hands under his pillow to keep his fingertips cool.

Asleep, Kyle dreamt of sweet eyes and the beautiful skin complexion of Laura. He was running after the girl through an endless forest of candy cane stalks. He had weird dreams often. But they all included Laura. Then Joanna appeared, Kyle's best friend. She laughed at Kyle. He questioned her laughter but she kept laughing. He then looked down and saw he had no pants on and was at the top of one of the candy cane stalks. He struggled to et his boxers unhooked from the thin branch of the cane. When he did the twig snapped and he fell down ward toward the frost bitten ground. But instead of feeling the ice needles of the frozen grass he fell into a warm oasis of sugar water. He was paralyzed in the center of his chest and it spread from there outward until it reached his fingertips and numbed them completely. He felt like he was drowning with his inability to swim or move in any way. He felt a jolt and he woke up in his bed. Wrapped in his comforter and sheet. He wiped the sweat off of his face and took the sheet and wiped his chest. He stood up next to his bed and checked his phone. The light glared in his eyes and made him squint. It was 5:56 and he couldn't go back to sleep. So Kyle stepped out of his doorway and creeped into the kitchen. He fixed a grilled cheese and sat at the table. Kyle was pescatarian. Meaning no red meat. So he chowed down for about 5 minutes taking bites between his thoughts. It was summer. Is Kyle didn't have to worry about the stress of going to school but that also meant not enough time with Laura.

Kyle's phone buzzed in his boxer pocket. "Hello"? Kyle said groggily. "Hey squirt its Joanna. Listen can you meet me at the Frosty's on the corner of Alpine and Yecker? It's important. And bring 20 dollars."

"Really Joanna. What the fuck. Okay I'll be there just give me a few minutes." Kyle said reluctantly.

Kyle grabbed his keys and ran outside half dressed trying to put his shirt on as he unlocked his crappy 1969 Honda Civic with half a paint job. He turned the ignition and backed out of the driveway. He had already left a note for his parents. As he pulled around the corner he saw the flashy
FROSTY'S ICE CREAM
"OPEN 24 HOURS"
And saw Joanna swinging her key lanyard on her finger leaning against the brick wall under the sign. Kyle walked toward Joanna and she greeted him with a punch to the chest. "Haha there you are dork. What took you so long like it took 9 fucking minutes! Haha anyway hand me the 20." Joanna said.

"Why"? Kyle replied. But he handed her the twenty anyway. She returned with two cones. Both mint chocolate chip, their favorite. They ate in unison and Joanna explained. "So Kyle I need you and your cute butt and your car so we can have some fun this summer. A basically we hit up Nevada. Straight California and then Colorado and then straight back to Oregon. I have attractions planned all over that way. And before you interrupt me I've seen your wattpad account. I check it every day to see if your okay and by the looks of it you're not. Everything you write about is all Laura." She said. Kyle interrupted "how would you know that everything is about Laura huh j"? Joanna looked at him with a really-Kyle-you-think-that'll-work-with-me-Im-your-closest-friend-stop look.

Kyle laughed and said "okay you're right. But we can't take my car. It'll break down every two miles. I barely made it here."

"Oh no that's not your car. Joanna said snickering."

"....what do you mean Joanna.. Um yeah it is". Kyle said.

Joanna held up a pair of keys and pushed the button in the fob which made a car honk. They walked over to it and In the light shimmered a blue Mustang GT with white racing stripes.

"This is your car now. My dad told me to give it to you since you did bail me out of jail last week." She tossed the keys to Kyle and he freaked out and dropped them.

"WHAT THE FUCK JOANNA I CANT ACCEPT THIS I KNOW YOUR RICH BUT OH MY GOD". Kyle said

Joanna just picked up the keys and gave them t Kyle. He shook but he got in the car and Joanna got in his old one and drove it back to his house with Kyle in his new Mustang.
