The Summer Camp

Date Night

I let Tally catch her breath before I tell her everything. When I'm done she is sitting in front of me, jaw on the floor. 

"What?" I ask her while trying to find something to wear. She stands up and hip checks me out of the way of my closet. She starts pushing things at me to put on. When I am done changing I'm wearing a pair of cherry red skinny jeans, a white shirt with a bands name written on it, a black jacket over top and my hair is in soft curls, thanks to Tally.

We are just talking and playing video games when my doorbell rings. I start to feel the dragon eggs hatch in my stomach as I walk towards the door. I open the door to reveal a nervous looking Kaleb. He is wearing blue jeans, a button down green shirt and his hair is messy in a neat way. He starts to say something but when he sees me he stops what he is going to say to look at me. After a few seconds of awkwardness he clears his throat and try's again.

"You look amazing Ella. Are you ready? My mom will drive us if that's okay." He says, leading me down my driveway.

I blush and say thanks,telling him he also looks good. He opens the door for me which makes my face heat up again. I say a quick hello to his mom while doing up my seat belt. 

We make small talk on the way to the theater, his mom glancing in the mirror every few seconds. 

When we get to the theater, we say goodbye before getting out. We walk up to the ticket booth and say two tickets for Frozen. I start to take out money for it when I feel a warm hand on mine. I look up and see Kaleb holding the tickets already. I start to protest when he holds up a hand.

"It's a date. The ladies never  pay on dates." He says with a heart warming smile. We head over to the concession and insist I pay. We playfully banter back until I agree he can pay for half. Once we get our snacks, we head into the theater. We settle into the far back row in the middle and wait for the movie to start. 

When the movie starts, everyone hushes and starts to be entranced by the film. About halfway through I feel Kaleb stretch beside me and put his arm around my shoulder. I start quietly laughing at how cliche this is. I let him put his arm around me and I even snuggle into his side. When the movie is over we take the left over popcorn and candy and carry them out with us. When we get outside we see his mom waiting in the car for us. 

We get in the car and drive home. When we get to my house, Kaleb walks me to my door. His mom pulls forward so she can't see us, giving us privacy.

"I had a great time tonight" I say with a smile. He reaches our and grabs both of my hands in his. 

"I did too. I was wondering something thought." He says, looking into my eyes. I take a step forward.

"What were you wondering?" I ask, moving slightly forward.

"Will you go out with me?" He asks, biting his lip in nervousness. For a moment I am shocked he would ask that. I take my hands out of his and see a flash of hurt in his eyes. I wind my arms around his neck and take a step closer to him till our bodies are touching. He puts his hands on my hips and pulls me even closer.

"Yes." I say before he moves his face that extra inch and our lips meet. The kiss is brief but just as amazing as the others we have shared. 

When we break apart, he has a giant smile on his face. I peck him once more on the cheek before heading inside. When I shut the door I slide down it till I'm sitting on the floor smiling like a maniac. 

I get off the floor after a few minutes and head upstairs to get ready for bed. 

Kaleb's POV

Well this date went better then I thought, I thought to myself while I crawled into bed. I lay in my bed looking up at the roof with one arm folded under my head and the other on my chest.

I wonder how Jeremy is going to react. I think as I drift off to sleep.

******************The Next Day*************************

 Ella's POV

 I wake up to the pain of being jumped on. With an off I'm pulled to the floor. I open my eyes and see a mess of hair and limbs. 

"Tally. There better be a fuckin good reason why you jumped on me." I say through clenched teeth as I get up and put my blankets back on my bed.

"Your dad let me in... I wanted to know the details." She said, sitting on my bed. I look at the clock and notice the time.

"IT'S 7 FUCKING 30 IN THE MORNING AND YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU SHIT? NO I'M GOING BACK TO BED. UGH I WAS UP LATE LAST NIGHT AND GOT NO SLEEP AND YOU WAKE ME UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN!" I yell at her as I crawl back in.

"Actually it's 8:30... Time change." She says with a small smile. I grunt and close my eyes, shutting her and her crazy antics out, along with the world. 

Reading the interactions make me miss my friends up north so much it's starting to hurt.
