park life ...

Chapter 17 

Sometime during that week.

We talked most days online, we sent each other links and shared ideas and thoughts. Opinions were open and there was never a time when we couldn't make each other laugh.

He sent me pictures of things to draw, most of them fantasy characters , or dragons, or nude girls with non-realistic tits. He had quite similar tastes to me.

We both liked cult and horror movies. We were both intensely interested in the same music.

Green Day , Blink 182, The Offspring, Credence Clear Water, My Chemical Romance , Kid Rock, Match Box Twenty , Nirvana. ( okay so nirvana was maybe just me...)

" I can't wait to see those drawings Nazz" he said as he got off the bus.

" you'll be waiting a long time there" I said.

" perfect time to grow a beard!" he called and stroked his chin, where more hairs were protruding from his pale face.

" haha"

We also seemed to talk about Amelia quite a bit too.

He seemed to be progressing with her as well, which wasn't great. I could see that too, he was a little more touchy feely in the library now...

I was learning more and more about him, and why he seemed to like her. She was a happy girl. Always smiling, naive to the world. She wasn't softly spoken either, loud and extroverted. She really wasn't the kind of girl I would hang around, bit of a gossip addict.

" hey , Nazz. You wanna hang in the park this afternoon?" Noodle asked on the bus.

" sure, what's the occasion?"

" news is the occasion" he said suavely, smiling his brilliant smile.

So we got off and laughed all the way down to the park .

" isn't this a long walk for you?" I asked, holding my stomach from laughter and from fear that he would tickle me again.

" yeah , but I like the exercise" he said calmly , he was staring ahead . He had something on his mind now, he kept checking his phone too.

"hey we've never actually played on that park before" I said and dropped my bag down near the seat and climbed the small slide.

" your such a monkey ..." he said , dropping his own bag and climbing up a different way to meet me in a tunnel.

"ahhh go away!" I yelled and laughed.

" nope, this tunnel is mine get out !" he said , chasing me out of the tunnel and onto a small flat part of the structure.

" but I was in there first no fair!" I said pushing him a little in the chest.

" mmm this is nice" he said, coming out of the tunnel and sitting down on the flat part.

" yeah , this was where I hung out as a kid... nice to draw perspectives from. Not that I knew that at the time"

" really, when am I seeing that book of yours Nazz, I want to see it!" he plead.

" naaa, you can wait till I'm high or drunk to do that" I smiled , and undid my plate. My curls flying out into the wind.

He pulled out his phone again, this time to take a picture , ( a good picture too might I add, I got it later) , and then checked it .

" what's up with you ? Waiting on something?" I asked, biting my lip a little. Connie had told me to do that when I was around him.

" yeah actually, that's why I wanted to be here" , he looked dead serious.

" why what's happening?"

" you see... I asked her"
