After school-
Ally has a car. An Actual car. My family couldn't afford it since there's so many kids.
I got in the car and buckled my seat belt. Ally got in and shut the door. She buckled her seat belt in and started the car.
It was a fifteen minute drive. We drove in comfortable silence.
Her house was a decent size. It was a little smaller than mine. She told me in English class she was the only child.
She had two parents. She Parked on the street. We got out and I followed her up the stairs.
"My parents aren't home , they work until 7" she said unlocking the door.
I nodded. She lead me to the kitchen.
"Hungry" she asked.
"Always" I laughed.
She smiled. She went in the refrigerator and grabbed soft taco shells and cheese.
She lit the stove and started to cook. I did some home work while she cooked.
"Here" she said pushing a plate toward me.
It was a quesadilla with just the cheese. It took a bite and moaned.
"This is amazing" I said with a mouthful of food.
Ally laughed and took a bite of hers. She got out her red notebook and grabbed her red pen. I smiled.
"So, what should be the first line" she asked.
I thought for a few seconds.
"Ok, uh , her favorite color is red , before I met her life would be such a dread" I said
Ally broke out into laugher. I felt my face grow red. She shook her head.
"Can't we work in this another day" I groaned.
"Sure" she laughed.
"Let's get to know each other more" I said eager to know more about her.
"Ok, how many siblings do you have" she asked taking a seat across from me.
"6" I said taking another bite of my food.
"Wow, I can't imagine having that many siblings" she said growing interest in the conversation.
"Ive gotten used to it" i shrugged.
"Ok, what's your actual favorite color" she asked giving me a grin.
"Blue" I blushed.
"Why'd you pick red then" she asked.
"Cause you love it, so now I love it" i said resting my chin on my hand.
She blushed. She looked down at her food.
"How'd you know I lied" I asked.
"Lauren told me at the end of the day your favorite color was blue" she giggled.
She took another bite of her food and I did the same.
"My turn" I said.
"Favorite tv show" I asked.
"I can't just pick one , Uh let's see friends, saved by the bell and Beverly Hills of 90210, would be in top category" she said.
"What's your favorite song" I asked.
"Kiss me by Ed Sheeran" she said.
"Me too" I said.
Ally smiled. My heart melted.
"Favorite movie" she asked.
"Selena" I said.
We went on like this for almost two hours. It was after 5 when we stopped.
"Shit i gotta get home , my mom has family coming over" I said texting my mom I was on my way home.
"Do you need a ride" ally asked.
"No that's okay, it's not a far walk" I smiled.
"Thanks though" I said collecting my things.
She walked me to the door. She opened the door before I could. I noticed how short she is. I loved that.
"I had fun" i smiled.
"Me too, we should do this again" she said.
"Of course , can I have your number" I asked.
She blushed and nodded. She handed me her phone and I punched in my number.
She waved to me as I walked down the steps. I ran home since I was already half an hour late.
