The Other Me

The fun

We split our ways and say bye to each other. But I leave with a smile on my face.

***

It's lunch time!!!!

I finally get to be with Dylan for the rest of the day!! I know, I know, you probably think I'm crazy just liking a guy and kissing him when I just met him- but I feel like I've met him and seen him before. Oh well. It might just be my imagination.

I walk into the cafeteria and I see Dylan sitting at a booth with headphones on and jamming to music. I laugh as I see him rocking out in the booth. I walk over to him.

"Hey" I say.
He doesn't hear me and just keeps listening to the music. Then he sees me.

"Oh hi baby girl. I didn't see you there" he says.

"Or hear me" I add and laugh.

"Yea" he said and laughs.

"What you listening to??" I ask.

"Michael Jackson" he says.

"Really??" I ask in a surprised tone.

"Yea. He's like my absolute favorite" he says.

"No way" I say with my jaw dropped.

"Yup" he says. "Why do you look so surprised??" He asks.

" 'Cuz he's my FAVORITE-like in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!" I say, emphasizing "favorite" and "entire world".

"Really? Oh that's awesome. Wanna listen?"

"Of course!!" I say.
He hands me the headphones and I put them on. I instantly recognize the melody. It's MJ-Beat It. I also start jamming and I just couldn't establish that he likes that same singer that I do. It was an amazing feeling. I was so happy.

After a few minutes I still had he headphones and the songs changed but hey we're all by MJ so I kept listening. Then I see Dylan get up from the booth and walk somewhere. I wasn't paying attention and I was just on my phone and listening to he music. Soon, he comes back with 2 lunch trays.

"Awwww, you got me a tray. Thank you so much" I said after I took of the headphones and paused the music.

"No problem baby girl " he replies.
We start eating and we finish pretty quick.
Correction- he eats and finishes pretty quick. I'm left behind eating. Ugh I'm so slow.

"Huh, you still eating baby girl?" He asks.

"You laughing at me pretty boy?" I ask in response.

"Um no, it's just-"

"I'm playing with you Dylan" I say and laugh.

"Oh" he says and smiles.

Suddenly he gets down from his seat to the floor and crawls over to my side. Then he gets on one knee and says:

"Ashley, may I ask you something??"

With that alone I felt light headed and I tense up.

"I-"

"Are you ticklish??" He asks and I relax a bit.

"Hey! You got me so scared!!" I said.

"But are you?" He asks, changing the subject.

"Maybe" I say.

"Then we'll just have to find out" he says and starts to move onto my seat.

"What are you doing??" I ask hurriedly.

"You'll see" he replies mysteriously.

He sits next to me and raises his hands slowly onto my body. They land on my waist and travel up and down. They slowly move their fingers and make me giggle a little. Once Dylan realizes that I am ticklish, he moves his fingers faster and moves his hands quicker. I shift and turn but nothing helps. That's when I start to giggle uncontrollably.

"Dylan.... Stop...I'm begging you..... I... need air!" I say in between my giggles.

I feel his hands let go and I slowly start to breathe.

"Oh thank God" I say tiredly.

"So you are ticklish, huh?" He asks in a sarcastic way.

"Uh-huh" I sat and smile sheepishly.

"Awwww how cute" he says and I start to blush.

"That's even cuter" he states and I blush even more.

"So what do you want to do now?" I ask trying to switch to another subject.

"I don't know. I mean you know this school more than I do. It's only my first day" he says.

"Ok um we could go to....wait how much time do we have??" I ask.

"Um-he looks at his watch- about 45 minutes" he says.

"Ok come on" I state as I grab both trays and his hand and run out to throw the trays away and get out of the cafeteria.
