"Ask him to hang out with you okay?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe I should ask him if he wants to hang out its a good way to get to know him better. But what if he rejects me and calls me dumb, it's something he would say. He will probably flick my head like he did last time when I asked him if he ever had a girlfriend. It was innocent and he got all mad and flicked my head and told me to not ask stupid questions.

Well I guess that's not so bad when he comes back I'll ask him.

I wait at the picnic table waiting for Sky return and when I think about how I'm going to ask him he appears at the door and sits at the table.

"Hey we should hang out later. Like no gym just do something fun." I blurted out receiving an unclear look from him.

"Uh." He said not sure how to respond. "No." I wasn't happy with that outcome but it was more realistic.

I knew he was going to say no. I should have just accepted it but something in my gut is telling me to be more persistent.

"No? Oh come on Sky, let's go do something fun...my summer is almost over and I want to go out..."
I was hearing myself but I didn't stop talking. I'm not sure where this confidence is coming from but I like it. "There's a fair tomorrow night..come with me." I asked getting excited.

He gave it a long thought before responding.

"Okay fine, since I'm a good person I'll take you to the fair." He said sarcastically. I didn't mind I was just happy that he actually accepted.

I was so excited I have him a big cheesy smile making a 'mm' sound. And he returned a small smile.

We ended up leaving Lisa's house and him driving me back to my house.

"Hey Sky." I said looking over as I watch him drive.

"Mmm."

" I'm sorry that the guys make you mad because of me."

He chuckles at my comment and removes his right hand from the wheel and places on top of my head.

"Don't worry about it. It's me not you. I'm just a messed up piece of shit."

I pouted and felt my heart tighten a bit in my chest.

I wanted to say something but I wasn't sure if it was to weird or something so I bite my lip and looked away.

Skylar moved his hand lower down to my leg and I watched it as it traveled to my hand.

Oh gosh. What's going on. Oh. Oh gosh. Why is he holding my hand. And why do I like it. Is my hand sweaty. Is his hand cold. It's summer it's not even cold out.

"You're zoning out again."

"No I'm not."

4 mins has passed and we made it to my house. We both got out and I was shaking again.

He walks me to my door and I turn around.

"Thanks for the ride Sky." I said smiling at him.

"It's whatever."

I nodded my head. " I'll see you tomorrow than."

"Okay. Bye."

I watched as he left and I called out for him.

"I don't think your a messed up piece of.....poop." I said blushing. "You're great."

He turns around and smirks at me. "Thanks kid."

I walk inside and lock the door. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting and it's safe to say that me and Skylar are growing as friends and as people.

Things are almost coming to an end and I'm ready for anything.
