Delilah's POV
Sometimes I just want to punch Lacey in the face. That boy is hella hot. As he walks towards us, he smiles. That smile will be the death of me. "I'll leave you two alone" Lacey says with a wink and runs off.
"Uhhh I didn't mean for her to-" I say as I got cut off. "It's fine, my friends are like that too" he says. I laugh. "Oh, my name is Aaron" he extends his hand for me. "Delilah" I say as I grab it and shake hands with him. He tensed up as I touched him, it's like something hit him. "Uhh I got to go, I'll um-" and he runs off. Did I do something wrong orr? As I stand there awkwardly, Lacey comes back. "What was that?" she asks. I shrug my shoulders. That was definitely weird. "Uhh you want to go back home?" I nod.
Today was enough. Might've been great with Lace but not me. Lacey and I go our separate ways and I get home safely. I take off my shoes and set them on the floor as I rest on the couch. I flip through the channels and decide to watch Supernatural.
At around 7 pm, my mom comes home. She walks in with dozens of shopping bags. I get up to kiss her on her cheek then give her a glare. "You went shopping with me?" I cry out. "I didn't want to spend much" she simply says. I point at all her bags, "spend much?" She shrugs her shoulders.
I turn off the TV and as I'm about to go upstairs, my mom stops me. "Honey, I forgot to pick up milk, we're all out." she says. "Okay" I say hoping she won't make me go out. She crosses her arms over her chest. I roll my eyes with a loud sigh, "fine." I put on my shoes and grab my phone and head outside.
I go to the deli and say hi to George. As I pay for the milk, I leave. I get my keys and I hear a gasp behind me. I turn around. Aaron. He stays frozen and so do I. He runs off. That's it, I'm getting answers from this boy. I run towards him.
He turns right, so do I. "Aaron!" I yell. He doesn't turn around, but keeps running. "Why are you running away from me" I yell again. He crosses the street on a green light as he sees no cars in sight. I do the same without looking both ways. Then I hear a car's honk and screech and I scream.
Aaron quickly stops running and turns around. The car did not reach me as I run onto the sidewalk quickly and plop onto the floor, sweating and gasping with my heart beating rapidly. Aaron let out a sigh, relieved. He walks back towards me and sits down as well.
I look at him furious. "Now can you tell me what I did wrong after almost getting killed while chasing you?" I ask raged. He rests his head against the tree and closes his eyes. "You did nothing wrong" he simply says. "You don't say" I say when a bit of sarcasm came out."I'm sorry, I can't say why." I roll my eyes. "What do you mean 'I can't say why'" I ask with air quotes. "It's a secret" he says quietly. "The fact that you're avoiding me is a secret?" I'm so confused. He shakes his head. "I just don't know how to explain it."
Finally, I calm down after what happened. We're silent for a while. "Look, you seem like a really cool girl, how about we just start over?" he asks as he looks straight at me. I turn around to face him and smile. I hold out my hand, "Hey, my name is Delilah." He smiles, "my name is Aaron" he says as he shakes my hand. The start of a I hope he doesn't run off new friendship.
