"Do you want to make a bet?" He asked.

"Um, you know what happened last time you made a bet with me?" I laugh.

"But this time is different. There is no way the Ravens will beat the Steelers."

"Ok. If the Ravens win you have to let me kidnap you for the day."

"Deal. Do you want to come over and watch the game?" He asked me over the phone as I sat on the couch with my notes spread across my lap. I should really study, but when he asked I couldn't say no.

"I can be there in 20."

"I'll see you in 30 Theresa." I roll my eyes and hang up. I quickly fix my hair and put my fitted black jeans on and a Ravens shirt I never wear. 30 minutes later I pull up in front of his house and laugh to myself at how well he knew I would be late. This was the first time I would be in his house without the other boys around. "Hey." He greets me at the door.

"Hey there." I greet back as he holds the door open for me. His family isn't around so we go straight up to his room and sit on his bed as we watch the game and joke around. A few hours later and I am booking a hotel room out of state. "You're going to like where we are going next weekend." I smile as he squints his eyes in hopes of making me spill.

"Hey." He greets me at the front door of my house. I pull my duffle bag off the floor and put it over my shoulder. "Here let me take that for you." He grabs the strap of the duffle and flings it over his shoulders with ease.

"Hey and thanks." I smile. I am going to get to spend a night alone with him. Where I am taking him is the most beautiful place when the leaves start to change color.

"So you want to tell me where we are going since I am the one driving?" He pushes.

"Man. You can't stand surprises can you?"

"Theresa!" He playfully whines as I swat his shoulder. "If we get lost it is all on you!" We begin our two hour journey. I turn on my favorite song and learn his when he asks me to look it up. It was strange from the rest of the music he listened to, but it was nice and sweet. "So, I have some exciting news."

"Oh, tell me!" I turn my body to face him.

"I got the results back from my ASVAB test."

"How did you do?"

"I didn't fail."

"You can't fail that test." I laugh.

"I actually did better than I thought I had."

"Logan, that's great! What happens now?"

"Well, I have to go to basic training."

"What is that?"

"It's where all military people begin. It's like a really dense training camp."

"When do you go to that?"

"I'm not sure, but my recruiter said that I could be going to Georgia within the next few months."
