The air was bone chilling against my skin, I probably should’ve worn a heavier jacket but, there was nothing I could do about that now. I didn’t talk much but, apparently, Gallagher can’t keep his mouth shut! Seconds turned into minutes and felt like hours but, eventually, we made it to the dugout. Mandy had some great weed with her and Ian took out a six-pack of beer, which I assumed he stole from the Kash and Grab this morning.
I’m not sure it was 15 minutes before Mandy started to complain about how freezing she was and said she was going back to school.
“Oh, come on! Already?” Ian asked her.
“Yeah, I’m freezing my tits off! Not sayin’ you have to come with me, but, you’ll have to stay with fuck face over here if you don’t.”
“Ay!” I started, “I’m a fuckin’ pleasure to be around, thank you very much.” Ian glanced over to me and shrugged,
“Whatever, I’ll stay. Mick isn’t that bad,” He replied sarcastically, “I don’t mind.”
A rush of happiness surged through my body and I had to bite my cheek to keep from smiling, but it hardly worked. Thankfully, neither of them noticed and Mandy made her way back to school. Then, it hit me. Ian was hanging out with me, and he wanted to. I cursed myself when that same happy feeling returned and this time I made sure to bite my cheek even harder to hide the stupid smile that was forming on my face.
