"A-are you coming to my birthday Cara?" Arnie says as he comes to a stop in front of a bench.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Cara answers sitting down at the bench he stopped in front of.
"I'm gonna be 18 you know that right! Right?" He says and then takes a lick of his ice cream.
"Yes Arnie now sit down." She giggles at him. Its silent for about a minute, well except for the sound of Arnie eating his ice cream.
"U-uh yesterday, Gilbert said you we're my little girlfriend." He laughs looking at her and then taking a bite of his cone.
"Girlfriend?" She side eyes him.
"Yeah!" He laughs with ice cream dripping down his chin and falling on his shirt.
"Well um, I don't now what to say." She says pulling taking the napkin that was wrapped around her come and wiping his chin off.
"Say thank you, Gilbert says that." He says taking his shirt in his hands and sucking the ice cream off his shirt.
"I don't think I use it that way."
"What way?" He says finish his cone.
"I dunno."
Arnie laughs and makes funny faces at her, she does so back and crosses her eyes at him.
"Woah, how do you do that."
"A gift." She laughs and continues the battle.
"I want a gift." Arnie says.
"I'll give you a gift, on your birthday."
"Really a gift! I'll get my own gift!" She nods at him, "he gets on the table and starts dancing." I get a gift. "
"You get a gift." She laughs, "who gets a gift?"
"Arnie gets a gift!" He laughs.
