After what seems like hours we pull apart. "You do realize that last time we were here I slapped you across the face," I say smiling, trying to ignore the rain falling on our heads.
"Yes, I am well aware of that and just so you know if you weren't so darn pretty I would have slapped you back," he says and I lightly punch him in the arm.
"Ya know I really really hate you," I say walking backwards towards the gas station.
"Awwwwwwwww, I really really hate you too," he says, smiling and walking beside me but forwards.
I turn around, facing forwards and stick my tongue out at him, making us both laugh. "Soooooooo what do you wanna do know?" I say, opening the door to the gas station.
"I thought I was supposed to ask your dad for permission before we became a thing," he says, sitting down next to me behind the counter.
"Ya know sometimes I wanna kiss you," I say, making Austin blush but then I continue, "and other times I want to tackle you and punch you in the face." I say smiling really wide and really creepily, making Austin scoot away from me a little.
I giggle but cover my mouth quickly-I've always hated my giggle. "Why did you cover your mouth?" Austin asks me and I blush, laying on the floor and looking at the ceiling.
"I asked you a question," he says, lying down next to me even though the floor is freezing.
"I hate my giggle it sounds stupid and...girly," I say, looking away from the ceiling and turing my attention to him.
"One it sounds girly because you a girl and two-" He stops short when I give him a death glare. "I mean the girly thing in the nicest way possible," he adds, not continuing until I calm down. "And two I always liked your giggle," he says with a smile.
I smile back but then stop because I begin to remember...something.
I stand up and walk out of the gas station and turn in circles until someone grabs my shoulder. I turn around and see Austin looking rather worried. "Zoey? Did I say something wrong?" he asks, looking a little sad at the moment.
"No, I umm........Uh, Just remembered something," I say briskly, running in the other direction. Austin follows me-of course-but this time I want him to.
I run until I reach what I'm looking for,
Miss Flavrin's Orphanage.
