Him: hey are you doing anything tonight?
     I wasn't doing anything but I still hadn't gotten over the fact that he texted me back. I was filled with happiness that was bursting with light like the sun.
Me: no why?
Him: just wondering if you wanted to come with me to a field?
Me: a field? seems like you want to kidnap me
Him: don't question it just meet me at the field next to the donut shop and bring blankets because we're sleeping there okay?
    This question didn't even have time to enter my head. I was already spilling out my answer.
Me: okay
     I picked up my sandwich thinking about how my mom and my sister would react. I could sneak out. But I ultimately decided not to because I didn't want to suffer the consequences. I was in a happy state and couldn't be bothered with the screaming of my mother in the middle of the night when she asks where I've been.
I decided to get ready because I knew it would take me a while. I was nervous. Negative thoughts grew in my mind like weeds. Positive thoughts sprouted like flowers. I tried my best to pick the negative thoughts out and throw them far away from the positives. It seemed to be working because my mind was twirling in tulips and dancing with daffodils. I felt like I was on a cloud. I nervously played some video games on my laptop as I waited for the clock to turn to 7:45. At 7:40 I couldn't take the suspense any longer and I headed downstairs to inform my mother of where I'll be heading. I thought up a lie that I'll be staying at a friends house for the night. She didn't question me because she was focusing on a news article Eleanor was showing her. I practically ran out of the house and onto my bicycle. I peddled like a maniac and ended up arriving 10 minutes early. I sat on the prickly grass and stared at the sky that was preparing itself for the sunset. I watched as he arrived also on his bicycle. I stood up nervous and excited for what was to come. What if I'm just another star in the sky to him?
