The Sting Ray

   It 's been a week since I met the mysterious boy. I don't want to admit this, but I've been waiting for him. I can't get him out of my mind. Why he makes me so curious? Ughhh. I hate this feeling.    
    But who cares, he probably forgets about me. 
    I told Cathy about him, and she seemed really interested. 
   "What does he looks like?" She asked, while she ate her snack's.
   "Well, um... He's kinda cute, he has a brown straight hair, blue eyes, male scent, strong hand—"     "Wait, is it for real?"
  "Yea, why?"  
   "Nothing"
I looked at Cathy. Her face was unreadable. She looked anxious. She also looked flustered.  
   Does she know him?
  "Do you recognize him?" I finally asked. 
   "Uh... No, I guess. I never found any guy in this school have a brown hair with green eyes."
  "So why is he here? In our school?" 
    "Don't ask me" She waved her hands.
   "Maybe he is alumni" She murmured and continued eating her snack's.
"Maybe. I'll find out"

  I walked alone on a long empty street. There were large trees on every edge of the street. It made me goose bumps for a while.

  Cathy couldn't go home with me today, because there was an extracurricular.
  So, here I am.
Beep! beep!
I was shocked and automatically turned around. I saw a black Corvette, also known as The Sting Ray. It's a classic legendary car. Very strong and elegant.
 

    Suddenly someone appeared from the window.
It's him.

   At once, I got nervous. My heart was beating so fast. Why I felt so affected by his appearance? He's not even a ghost or something.     
    He walked out from the car and walked towards me slowly.  "Hello cuddle bugs" He smiled and looked into my eyes deeply.
    Since when he called me with a cute thing?  
    "H-hi Mr.noname" I said awkwardly. 
    "Hahaha good names" 
  I forced a smiled. He has a bad sense of humor. I guess.   
   However, it's my joke. So I am the one who has a bad joke.   
    Anyway, why should I be thinking about that? 
    "Why are you here?" I finally asked him.
   "I'm here to offer you a ride" "Really? I thought you were lost. And accidentally found me here"  
    He chuckles,"I'm sorry but you're totally wrong young lady". 
   "So please, let me take you home" He held out his hand. 
    I was hesitated and narrowed my eyes.  He gave me a 'please say yes' look. Oh please don't do that. It's my weakness. 
   Finally, I nodded. He pressed his lips into a thin smile. Oh my heart is melted.  
   He walked towards the car and opened the door for me. When he was already inside, he said, "Don't forget to wear your seatbelt" He immediately stepped the pedal and drove The Sting Ray with a full speed.
  "HEEEYY SLOW DOWNN! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!" I was shocked. I haven't worn my seatbelt. Oh I'm going to die.    
    "Stay calm cuddle bugs, as long as I'm the driver, we will be alright" , He said almost shouted.   
   The wind was so strong. I'm almost flying! 
   He was grinned. I can't hold it anymore. I burst out laughing. And we laugh together.  
    It's not that bad for driving a car at full speed. Unless your car was a car garbage. Ba dum tsss..    
    We finally arrived at my home. He parked his car across the street.
  " By the way, my mom and I are going to dinner. Wanna join?"
  I don't know why I asked him to join. I just thoughts it was necessary. I know I haven't known him yet, and the plan is I will get to know him well on dinner. Good plan, I thought. 
    His eyes brightened,"Yeah sure, why not?"
    I shouted 'yeaaayy!' and danced happily. I don't know what came over me, his appearance made me so happy.   
    Whenever I'm with him. I felt so free to being me.  
    We entered through the front door and a meatloaf aroma greeted us.
    "Uuhh It smells great" he mumbled.
  "I know, right?"
    I heard my mom shouted from the kitchen, "Who's there?"

"Don't worry! It's me!" I answered

I heard her footsteps walking directly to us. She smiled, but her smile suddenly disappeared when she looked at Ken. 

    Don't say ew, I don't know his name, and I just need something to call him. So, Ken is the best thing I could think. He reminded me of Barbie's boyfriend. What do you think? 

    "Well, you brought a friend" She finally smiled.
    "Yeah. So, excuse me, I want to take a shower." I said as I walked to the bathroom.
   "Take your time! Be a good friend!" I continued. 
  There are silents between them, when finally Ken said,
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Everdeen" 
She chuckles, "Nice to see you again Ave"
