School had finally finished, now it was time to go hang with Trey. I met him outside class and he lead me to the parking lot, he had a car? It was an old rusty truck, but I liked it, it had a really old fashioned feel and it reminded me of my dad. He opened the car door for me, what a gentlemen. And let me slide in beside him. He started the car and we drove off. Not until three minutes later, I realised how close my hand was to his. So I quickly moved it and place it on my lap, I think he noticed because he looked a little upset afterwards. The drive was slow and quiet, until he finally decided to put some music on. He played the song I loved at the moment “Breakeven” by the Script. I tap along on my lap to the beat and started humming to myself, I think he heard because he laughed and started singing along to the words. He was actually pretty good so I decided to sing along too until we were screeching “IT DON’T BREAKEVEN NO” till the end. Old ladies and men looked at us weirdly singing along, like we’d just sniffed cocaine. The expressions were priceless which made us burst out into laughter.
We finally arrived at McDonalds 6 minutes later and again he held open the door for me, which I found really sweet about him. We walked in and I decided to order a Big Mac, coke, McFlurry ice-cream and chips, he looked surprised but pleased at my choice and ordered the same thing. I didn’t know if he liked the same foods as me, or because he just wanted to mimic me. We sat down and chowed down our food, ocassionally he’d laugh at the way I ate and I just ignored it. Until we finally reached our ice-creams he decided to take abit on his finger and wipe it on my cheek. “Hey what the hell Trey?” I said annoyed holding in my giggles. He stuck out his tongue at me and made silly faces, I couldn’t help but crack up at the hysterical faces he was making. Then all of a sudden I felt his lips on my cheek, this took me by a little unexpected surprise, but I liked it a lot. He was actually just licking off the ice-cream he left on my cheek.
I blushed so hard, I probably looked like a bright tomato right about now. “Aw you’re so cute when you blush Ari” he said tickling my cheek, which made me cover my face for him to stop. I felt his hands wrap around wrists pulling them down and I noticed he was unbelievably too close for my liking. Before he could do anything I coughed and turned the other way so he couldn’t do anything. He sighed and finally let me go. But at the same time I felt the slightest bit guilty, I should have let him do what he pleased. But I couldn’t let him kiss me, I mean I’m 16 and I’ve never been kissed before. And kissing me he would obviously know that, I mean what if I’m really bad and if I kissed him like a dog he’d be utterly disgusted.
“Um Ari?” Trey said waving a hand infront of me irrupting my thoughts. “Huh?” was all I could say. “Um I asked do you want me to drop you off at home?” Trey replied. “Oh yeah sure lets go” I said getting up and walking towards his car again. We got in and 2 minutes already it was a seriously awkward drive. Then he finally broke the silence and said “So.. before today I don’t think I’d ever seen you in school before have I?” “Um no I guess not, I guess we’ve always been in different classes” I said shrugging my shoulders not knowing where this conversation was going. “Oh that’s because I wasn’t hear in school most of last year. I’ve kinda been away and come back only now I guess” he whispered the last bit. Wait what? I finally figured out who he was he was Trey Silvia. The boy who left before spring break, apparently he got busted for something and wasn’t aloud to come back. The whole year all everyone could talk about was him.
There were a lot of different rumours going round about him; how he’d gotton taken to rehab for drugs addiction, how he’d got arrested for stealing, sent to Cyprus to go live with his uncle as a Punishment. Which I frankly didn’t get; I mean who sends there kid to a beautiful place like that in order to punish them, I mean what the hell? And the worst rumour I heard was apparently he stabbed someone, his neighbour I remember being said that he got several months in jail for it. I didn’t know if any of these rumours could be true, I mean hanging with him today he’s probably the nicest guy I’ve ever met. But then again every rose has it’s thorns….
