What school do you go to? the boy questions

Queensborough. the girl retires

The boy realizes, even though he hasn't been to school in 3 years he knows exactly where that is, living in the vicinity

you learn right by my place!the boy swagged

Oh, soo i guess i'm staying over. she playfully replys

As to push the guys away, the boy starts getting flirty;

He says, I have to warn you, i've only got one bed.

so I guess you're sleeping on the floor tonight. she mimics

The guys are visibly upset, snickering with eachother as if nothing was happening.

hey boys, you mind taking a hike? me and this bozo have some things to talk about. the girl says

The boy feels like a king, of all Union squares. While the others walk off he hears a sharply spoken peace from one of the other dudes. 

later. he cooly replys. 

The girl gets giddy and you can just tell she's eating out of the boys hands. The boy realizes he's possibly the luckiest person in the world, and really wants a kiss from this goddess. She entangles him in a web of insecurities, and as soon as he had the thought, it was gone.

Have you seen my skateboard? the boy shrieked

The now derived girl, whimpers

 didn't your friend take it?

SHIT.. I barely know those cats! Come with me, that jam was expensive

They go out looking for the missing board. It seemed to her like he lost something great , but little does she know the skateboard was only 45 dollars. Basically double what he spent on booze that day.

They walk past the liquor store, and there stands an open bottle of Jack whiskey. 

At last one good thing came from this.  Although we really need to find this board, come on. the boy whines

They travel on wards, hoping they can find another clue. The boy with Jack in one hand and the girl in another, he knew he could take on this quest. They search the perimeter, inside every 24 hour fast food joint, in between alleyways, in corners around the square. Now the girl starts becoming anxious and feeling neglected, she says 

we're never going to find them, they probably got arrested or some..

before she could finish her sentence the boy goes absolutely apeshit

Never Say that again! I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy!! 

disgusting. he ironically whispers

what?

 i love you

Sorry, i didn't think you had such strong feeling for that subject.. the girl reluctantly answers

Usually the boy had no feelings on anything but the fact that his buzz was wearing thin and his skateboard was nowhere to be found which got him rustled, had a lot to do with his attitudes

The boy sits on the floor and starts imitating a crying baby , singing about his board, mumbling 

Karma is always screwing me over, why me boohoo

 this time un-ironically the girl feels legitimately sorry for the guy, knowing what it's like to lose something special to her. She sits down next to him

you know there is really nothing you can do, these things happen unfortunately. Life goes on after tragic events like this occurs , none of us are going to be around forever

The boy looks at her and says, you're absolutely right, I shouldn't be caught up on some bootleg ebay  skateboard, it's about time I got a new one anyway

They both laugh, and go silent for a few minutes

Were you serious about staying over the night?

Only if you were serious about my school being close by

I was

Ok then. the girl smiles

 We have to take the subway due to the whole skateboard situation 

They get to the subway station. The boy encouraged her to hop the turnstile, but instead paid for her fair like the gent he is. Once on the subway, the girl becomes mysteriously drowsy and falls asleep on the boys shoulder.

one more stop to go. the boy whispers

she's still sound asleep

we're here! the boy's voice cracks

Feeling shattered and empty inside the boy decides to get up and walk home, while the girl zombie like walks over to him and gives him a big hug.

I totally needed that. he says

I totally need a lift. she grudges

The boy heroically lifts her up and cradles her, he isn't particularly strong but his force entwined once his hands got around to the rest of those angles, in which holding a person is absolutely necessary. He walks into the house & luckily his roommate was still awake and held the door for him.

who's she, another one of your victims? his roommate says

The boy just laughs and walks into the apartment, feeling spacious and free with this gigantic weight in his arms he throws the girl onto his couch and takes a swig of the jack whiskey. Turns out his friends finished the bottle and pissed in it. Don't ask about the physics of lifting a human and whiskey bottles because that would get too deep and i'm trying to write nonfiction here, not physics of holding things

The boy can't sleep. He has an amazing girl in his bed, a pretty awesome feeling in his brain, and everything in between. While he watches this girl sleep and pets his cat, the boredom becomes uncanny, he can not take it any longer. Not knowing what to do, he starts to blow into the girls ear.

Wake up. he whispers nonchalantly
