••Alison's POV••

Everyone went home an hour ago. I can't believe I just made 3 new friends. I can't stop thinking about Toby, since he left. I want to get to know him more. He is so cute, but before I get myself into anything I need to make sure he doesn't do drugs or anything. I decide to sneak out my window, not that my brother would care that I'm gone or anything, and go over to Toby's. When I get to his yard, I start throwing rocks at his window, cliche I know, but I had no other way to get his attention.

"Alison, is that you?" I hear a voice ask, but it doesn't sound like Toby's.

"Riley? I thought this was Toby's window." I say kind of embarrassed. Good thing it's dark out, because I was blushing a lot.

"No, his window is right there." He says pointing towards the window next to his.

"Oh, well sorry to bother you then. Since you are already up now, can you get Toby for me?" I ask, hoping I wasn't being annoying.

"Sure." He says, going to get Toby for me.

I see Toby's light turn on for a minute or so, then turn back off. All of a sudden I feel two arms wrap around my waist tightly.

"Toby! You scared me half to death!" I say, my heart pounding like 50 mph.

"Sorry, sorry I didn't mean to, I just wanted to surprise you. Do you forgive me?" He says giving me the puppy dog face.

"Awe, well who can't forgive you with that face? Anyway, come with me." I say taking his hand and leading him out onto the street.

As we walk, it is completely silent. That is, until Toby says, "So, where are we going anyway?"

"You'll see when we get there." I say.

"Well, are we almost there? You know how much I love to walk." He says, that last part sarcastically.

"Your so cute, and we are almost there." I say, realizing I just told him he was cute. I instantly blush, because I didn't mean to say that, I just kind of blurted it out. Toby stops walking, and says, "Wait, you think i'm cute?" I nod shyly. He continues, saying,"Well, for the record, I think you are very cute too." After he says this, my cheeks look like tomatoes from blushing.

We start walking again, and suddenly Toby grabs my hand gently. It makes me jump at first, but then I grabbed his hand back.

"Ok, we're here." I say.

"Where are we exactly?" Toby asks.

"At the park, I love this park. I have spent so many days here just sitting around and thinking. I always sit under this tree. I don't really know why, but I always do." I say sitting down.

Toby sits down and says, "So, why did you bring me here?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I guess I thought we could just lay around and talk. We didn't really get to talk much today." I say looking up at the stars.

"Okay, so what do you want to talk about?" He asks.

"Anything, let's play the question game." I say.

"Alright, what's your favorite food?" He asks looking at me.

"Such an original question." I say, laughing. Then I continue saying, "Probably pizza. How about you?"

"Does Starbucks count as food?" He asks.

I start dying laughing, then I say, "You and your Starbucks. Yes, I'll count Starbucks as food, since they have like muffins and stuff. Alright, my turn, what's your biggest secret? I won't tell anyone, I swear." I say.

He was hesitant at first, but he finally said, "Fine, I'll tell you. My secret is...
