*Ali's POV*
"So that was a number two with no mayo or lettuce?" I said looking at the woman that was currently ordering, again.
"Yes... Well.. Actually can I just get a number 7 with ketchup??" I sighed lightly scratching out her last four orders.
"Yes ma'am coming right up." I quickly turn around before she changed her mind again. Kyle clear his throat loudly from the table beside the woman
"Yes nerd, what can I get you??" I tried to hide the smile wanting to be seen
"How 'bout some politeness from my waitress??" He said smirking at me. "Do I need to talk to your manager??"
I burst out into small giggles. "Kyle, seriously what do you want me to get you??" A hint of laughter still in my voice.
Kyle smiled before looking at the menu, "just a large strawberry smoothie please." His smiled brightened as he politely handed me the menu back.
"Sure thing. What's got you all gentlemanly?"
Kyle put a hand on his chest and looked at me with fake hurt. "I'm always a gentlemen, thank you very much." I smiled at him as I shook my head.
"Oh really?? Says the guy who threw a banana cream pie in my face on Sunday."
Kyle chuckled and shrugged. "You totally deserved it!"
"Uh huh. Whatever." I turned around walked behind the counter. I was taking the orders to the chef when something caught my eye. A neon blue paper dangled from the town news board. Curious, I walked back to the board and looked at the paper.

I reread the interesting paper and tore it off the board. Kyle always said that needed to do something I wouldn't normally do. I quickly folded the paper and put it in my back pocket. A new feeling of determination set in as I walked to the chef's counter. I'm going to that ball.
~~~~~skip to after work~~~~~
Kyle laughed loudly and threw another rock into the stilled water.
The rock landed with a loud splash. Kyle looked at me with a smile.
"Are we even aloud here???" I said looking at the surrounding trees then at the pond we found.
"I don't know, but I like it here. " He shrugged looking out at the water. I looked up at the setting sun with a sigh. The good times never last.
"Me too." I told him honestly. My body seemed to crave to woods, it was weird. It seemed like I needed to be here. We sat in a comfortable silence, just lost in our thoughts.
Suddenly, Kyle stiffened before quickly standing up. He tilted his head back, smelling the air?
"What are you doi-" Kyle abruptly grabs my hand, easily lifting me to my feet.
"We need to go. Now." He said and started dragging me away.
"What??!" I struggled against his strong hold. I wanted to say here, something was telling me that I need to stay here. "Why?! I don't want to go."
"Because you're not sa- I mean you have school tomorrow so I have to take you home now." He continued pulling me toward the edge of the woods. I frowned more before willingly keeping his pace. Kyle broke through the tree break, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Are you ok?? What happened back there?? Why were you sniffing the air??" I questioned. My eyes probably swirling with confusion.
Kyle rubbed the back of his neck,"uh I get scared of the woods after dark and I thought there was a skunk. "
"Uh huh," I looked into his eyes daring him to tell the truth, but he didn't seem to notice. He looked at his motorcycle, avoiding my glaze.
"Here, catch. " Suddenly, a blue helmet came flying toward my face. With a loud squeal, I jumped backward.
"I wasn't ready!!!" The helmet hit the ground with a small thud and rolled into the woods.
"I'll get it," I called before walking into the dark area.
"Wait!" Kyle called after me. Rolling my eye, I continued to trek forward.
"Can we just go??" Kyle asked nervously.
"What?" I laughed, "is Kyle scarred?" I ignored him and reached for the helmet. As soon as my hand clasp around the helmet, dark blue eyes seemed to appear within the trees and stare at me. I let out a huge scream and ran back to Kyle.
"Let's get the hell out of here," I said, jumping on the back of his bike and securing the helmet in my head. Kyle nodded and swung onto his bike. Then we sped off in the direction of my house.
