Hunter is gaming in his room when his mom calls on him. "C'mon Hunter, it's summer break, go outside, go play with friends, it'll be fun!" "Play with friends... I'm not a child anymore mom!" Friends... If only he had those.
After a lot of begging by Mrs. Hollingsworth, he finally goes outside. With his laptop of course. "No computer, Sweety!" "Ugh, alright mum!"
Huh, that's weird.. "What's Arlene doing in our pool?" No response. "Come in, Hunter. What are you afraid of?" Arlene reaches out for Hunter's hand. You know that tingling sensation, right? The one that you get when you're on a rollercoaster. Well, that's exactly the way he felt at that moment. With his clothes still on, he went into the water. They have been quietly sitting in the corner of the pool, peacefully looking at the water, no words are spoken. But then Arlene moves her body in Hunter's way. "You know, I still think it's quiet odd for someone to ask me on a date by flowers, which was pretty stupid anyway, and then just won't show op-" Berore Arlene could continue her rambling, Hunter gently lays his finger onto Arlene's soft lips. "Shh, it was me okay, I'll admit it, I was the one who sent you flowers, I was your date, I just didn't want you to see me in the way you did see your potential date. It was stupid for me to think that a weird, but yet so, so special girl like you would even like those flowers. I love you, Arlene Takahashi, I love you.. A lot. And I can't lose you, NOT TODAY! I've liked you ALL YEAR, but I just couldn't find a way to tell you without actually talking to you. 'Cause, you know, I'm a pretty anti-social fuck, I fucked things up okay. I'm sorry Arlene, please forgive me."
Tears are running down his face. Hunter stands up, ready to leave. Arlene grabs his hand. "WAIT!" Hunter turns around. "I-I think I might love you too..." Everything is silent for a moment. They go and sit doen again, trying to make things right. Arlene leans in for a kiss. "What are you afraid of?"
Everything is going too fast for him and he can't take the pressure anymore. Trying to reject the kiss, he goes underwater. Then, everything around him turns black. But he can still here Arlene's voice.
"HUNTER, HUNTER! WAKE UP!!!" This goes on for some time. "Arlene...?" "No, it's me silly." He sees his mom. "I think someone's here to talk to you." Hunter is still confused as hell when Arlene walks in. "Ooh, you're very.. Sweaty.. And you.. Uhm.." Arlene starts to giggle. Hunter looks down and finds out that he has a boner. "WHY WERE YOU LOOKING AT THAT?! GET OUT!!" "No, wait, I'm sorry.. I-I just.. Noticed.." "I SAID GET. OUT!"
Arlene goes and sits on the side of Hunter's bed. She twirls his hair and slowly comes closer. Hunter remembers the words from his dream. "What are you afraid of?" Then, they kiss.. Passionately.
Wait, did he really just see sparks? No, it can't be. It's probably because he just woke up from his crazy dream. Or was it... Reality?
