FUTURE TIME
   How? Just him. Everything about him. How did I not notice him before?
Everything about him goes through my head. He doesn't leave.

*March 17th*
   Just like any other break up you go through shit and the guy/girl breaks your heart if you really cared. Now none of my friends were there for me when the "bad-boy player" dumped me and went on to my friend. Of course it was no surprise, but it hurt. The break up that you thought both of you would last forever. Never break up. Maybe go through hard times but still make it. But once times got hard he left. Just out of no where.
   Then I spotted someone. I kinda knee him. He was in my friend group but we never talked. At least not much. He went to me. Asked me how I was feeling and if I was okay. A normal thing to ask if someone seems down. Then he asked to hang out after school. No one has ever asked nor wanted to hang out with me. Unless bribbed or forced. But he did.
    "D-did someone pay you," I asked confused.
    "*little giggle* No. I just wanted to hangout. You seem cool, Ashland," this mystery person explained.
He knows my name. I don't even know his name. My heart is racing. My words are stuttering. My hands are hot. What the hell do I say to him?! Shit my mind is racing. Why am i like this? I-i can't think.
   "Y-yeah okay-y. Where do you wanna m-meet? And what t-time?"
   "How about ice cream place and then we can walk down to the park. Meet me at 5," he requested quite nicely and different how any other boy would, I'm guessing, ask a girl out.
   "Absoulty. Sorry to be rude but I don't think it would be every well if I didn't know your name."
   "My name's Jack. Jack Pine."
   "So Jack, is this like a date? Or not."
   "I mean it could be. But I'd rather ask you out first. It's a hangout, for now," he sweetly told me. He's different. I have hope that if we do date we'll last a while, or perhaps for the rest of both our lives.
   For the rest of the day that's all I could think about. The fact that the guy that I automatically feel a connection with wants to hang out. With me?!
   I pass him a few times between passing times and when I do he winks at me and smiles. I blush everytime. I love him. But I shouldn't. I just got out of a break up.
*4:55pm (After school)*
   I got to the ice cream place a little early. He wasn't there yet. I just sat on a bench and thought about him. Thought about what could go right today and what could go wrong.
   A little bit later it was around 5:05. Still no show. So I still waited. Hoping that I wouldn't get blown off. A little later tho he showed up. Sweating a little bit. I got so happy to see him. I jumped a little. But I had to contain myself and not seem needy.
He explained why he was late saying his car broke down and he pushed it back to his house blah blah blah. I couldn't help but zone out and examine any and every detail of his face.
   His eyes, the perfect shade of brown. His lips, looked so very kissable. I just wanted to lean in a kiss him. His hair, perfect color, perfect way it goes when he flips it. He's not stuck up. I could hear him over and over again saying how sorry he his that he was late.
   "It's okay. I promise. I'm just glad you're here now," I stated.
   "No it's not okay. I told you 5. I intended to be here at 5. It won't happen again. I promise it won't," he declared sounding so sure of it.
We walked in and told them what one we wanted. I order mocha ice cream, like always. He order a mint chocolate chip.
   The ice cream place was a bit over crowded. So we went outside and started walking to the park. It was about a 6-8 minute walk but it was so worth it. I got to know him a bit better. He has 3 siblings not including him. His parents are still together. And he has a cat. Her name is Pika and she turned 1 a little bit ago.
   I said some stuff about me too. But not much. I don't trust him as much yet. I will soon tho. I can tell.
   We got to the park and as soon as I saw the park I ran. I'm a bit of a kid when it comes to parks and playgrounds. He just laughed and slowly made his way up to me. I climbed to the tallest place.
*Matthews POV*
   As we walked to the park I learned lots about her. But I didn't know if she told me a lot or no. But I hope she will eventually. But I learned she has a step sister and a half brother. Her parents recently got divorced and she has a dog that's almost 7.
   We got to the park and she ran to the playground. Fuck she's so cute. The way she runs and I can't handle how adorable she is. She climbed to the tallest spot on the play set. I didn't tell her but I'm terrified of heights. While i climbed I didn't even worry about how high i was going. All that I wanted was to get to her.
*Ash's POV*
   We walked through the whole park and by the time we were done it was 7 pm. My curfew is 8pm. So I told Matthew we gotta start walking home. We were walking and he grabbed my hand. I got so happy. He was so cute and he grabbed my hand.
   Sadly, we got to my house and it was 756 pm. I made it just about on time. I told him goodbye and asked if he needs a ride home. He said no but maybe next time.
   "Next time," I questioned.
   "Well I mean if you would like a next time m'lady," he said so sweetly.
   He's so cute and sweet. Gentleman even. I replied with a nod and he asked for my number. I took his phone and put my contact in.
   "You better text me and not blow me off," I stated jokingly and giggling a bit.
   "*Smirk* Now why would I do that? Trust me I'll text you straight when i get home."
   I waved goodbye and he did too. As he started walking home I got sad. Knowing I wouldn't smell him for a while or see him. He texted when he got home like he said. We talked for a good hour before my mom yelled at me and told me to go to bed. I turned off my phone and layed in bed, knowing that he's the most amazing person I've met.
