Thank you for the people who decide to stay when I take these long breaks. You guys make my heart feel warm :3

"No. I have to do my homework!"

"Oh, come on. You're starting to get like Marcel and have your nose always in that book."

"Sorry if I strive for good grades." Zayn scoffs and takes my book from me.

"Zayn!"

"You need fresh air." He grabs my hand and pulls me up and out of my room.

"I don't want to go outside. There's bugs, pollen, and human interaction and that's not my cup of tea." I try to pull away but Zayn continues to pull me outside once we get out he lets go of my hand and sighs.

"Well, you're here now."

"Have we been out long enough?" I weakly kick my legs in the mulch as I rock on the swing.

"We've only been here for 20 minutes."

"Zayn, this park is for children."

"It says all ages on the sign." I smirk at his comment as he slows down on the swing.

"Great. We can leave?"

"Nope. I'm gonna push you."

"What? No."

"Yes." He comes behind me and begins to push me at a slow pace.

"How have you been? I haven't seen you since you stormed off the other day."

"Fine. How's Jelena?" I feel him freeze behind me.

"She's just a friend."'

"Really? You sent her chocolates."

"They were meant for someone else." I feel sadness begin to creep over so I try to distract myself.

"We're supposed to be best friends and you don't tell me who like anymore."

"You never ask!"

"I shouldn't have to!" I stop and get off the swing.

"You haven't been yourself."

"What?" He raises his eyebrow.

"You haven't been yourself since we-" I shake my head and bite my lip.

"Since what?"

"Forget it. I'm going home."

"Edward! You can't just get mad at me!" I continue to walk until he grabs my hand and pulls me back.

"You need to tell me." I try so hard to not get lost in his eyes.

"Tell you what?"

"How you feel about anything because how can I make it better if you don't tell me?"

"Deal."

"Good. Now, let's not let this perfect day go to waste. What do you want to do next?"

"History study guide?"

"No."

"Oh, how about that thing?"I point to his little ride contraption.

"My skateboard?"

"Yeah. I wanna learn your ways of the skateboard." He chuckles a bit and nods.
