They spent nearly the whole night talking. Minutes turned to hours so quickly. Unfortunately this beautiful event had to end. He realized he promised his Dad he would be home at around this time.
"I have to go. I'll see you again... right?" He asked.
"Let's meet here, right outside the school by this Cherry tree! Tomorrow evening to be exact." She answered. She lowered her head position looking down at the Lime green, warm grass. "You will come back, wont you?"
"Of coarse!" He told her. He waved goodbye and she waved back. He jumped on his bike seat, regretting saying goodbye to her so suddenly. He wouldn't miss meeting up with her tomorrow ever! He was desperate to see her again. It felt like they were childhood friends, getting back together since years apart. She made him forget about all his worry and life in general. Maybe he felt this way because she was...well, dead. But he would feel a happy presence around her. Like they're no troubles and relaxation filled his mind.
He rode his bike home, to an angry Dad waiting for him.
"Why didn't you call?" His Dad yelled while balancing a half empty beer bottle in his hand.
"I couldn't! Remember? You can't be bothered to pay the bill for our phone credit!" He yelled back. He wasn't in the mood for his Dad to drunkly have a go at him. He just stormed off in his room, not wanting to get so far into an argument with him, that it would get worse. He jumped in bed with the covers over his entire body. He got his phone and texted Alex for a while. He needed an excuse to get out his house tomorrow, he has no school as its Saturday, so he needs to meet that girl somehow!
