YOUR DENIM JACKET // Dinger Holfield

"So what do you want to do after school today, pal." Dinger leaned up against my locker as I was packing my bag. Last period just ended.

"Sorry I have detention." I told him grabbing my backpack. "Man, I forgot." He closed my locker for me and we started walking down the hallway.

"Why don't you hang out with Bobby after school?" I asked him. "Him and Joel have some drama going on right now and I don't want to hear any of it." He said. "Alright well I'll see ya later." I said before he walked out of the school and I went to the classroom I was assigned for detention.

I walked in seeing only a couple of people and most of them I didn't even know went to this school. Detention should be great.

Detention was over and I decided to walk home I was dying to get out of there. I reached my house seeing Dinger sitting on the stone stairs outside my house looking at all of the buttons and patches on his jacket. He looked really cute to be honest.

He looked up at me. "Here comes trouble." He spoke out and got up. "Stop." I giggled then unlocked my door and we both walked in.

"You waited outside 2 hours for me?" I asked him. "No just 10 minutes." He said and I turned back to look at him as if he were crazy for still waiting that long for me. We then walked into the kitchen.

"Why'd you miss me?" He walked over to me making kissy faces. "You wish I did." I pushed his face away with my hand declining his 'kiss'.

"Oh, but your the one who kissed me back, or so I thought?" He leaned onto the counter resting his chin in his hand. "I did didn't I?" I smirked. "Yup and you were all into it too." He smirked back at me. "And you weren't?" I said sarcastically.

"Oh babe I was." He said and I laughed rolling my eyes then getting myself a drink.

Dinger got himself a drink too then we walked up to my room to just hang out.

"Are you good at math?" Dinger asked me pulling out a text book. "No why?" I asked him. "Because I'm failing and I don't understand any of this, its all bull." He told me laying back running his hand through his hair.

"Cmon I'll try to help you." I told him as he got excited and sat back up.

An hour later and we were still sitting here and I was still trying to help him understand even though I didn't really understand it myself.

"So pi means what again I forget?" He told me looking up as he was laying on his side and I was sitting up with my legs crossed. "Pi is a number, approximately 3.142. It's the circumference of any circle divided by its diameter." I told him looking in the textbook. How boring.

"Pi is irrational right? And a circle is like never ending it just keeps going on?" He asked me and I laughed at him. "Yes."

"Then I want our love to be like pi, irrational and never ending." He told me and smiled.

Nice pickup line Dinger as I could tell he was just joking around. I just smiled at him. He probably could tell I was being shy as I was sitting there playing with my fingers and he was just staring at me waiting for me to make a joke and I didn't. It was starting to get awkward.
