The wind today was blowing and the sun was shining bright. Me and Nate walk back to the park we was at the first time. We was currently talking about Dylan party tomorrow night.

"You and him seem really close," He said in a questioning tone.

I laughed it off, "Yea were like brother and sister."

"Oh really."

"Yea, anything else would be weird." I lied already feeling bad.

He laughed some, "Ok just making sure I stand a chance."

"A chance with what?"

"You," He said stopping and turning around facing me.

Our eyes instantly connect and I blushed some. He started laughing at me as he pulled me into a hug. He kissed my forehead and pulled back smirking at me.

"You're so cute when you blush."

"Thanks," I forced out.

He grabbed my hand and we continued walking.

"So what do you wanna do today?"

"I don't know," I said trying to think of something.

"I'm so glad school is out for Thanksgiving break. If it wasn't for these breaks I think I would be dead," He said causing me to laugh.

"Oh stop exaggerating school not that bad. I love it mainly because everything is easy and I have my two best friends."

"That's how you girls be," He said laughing.

I punch his arm in annoyance with his ugly self. I stop walking once I caught the smell of strawberries. My heart starting beating as I felt excitement come through me. I turned around happily looking for the person with the strawberries. I saw this older couple at a bench smiling and talking. The man held the strawberry up to the woman mouth and she bit it while staring happily into his eyes. My eyes watered up at the sight.

I walk over to them causing their eyes to turn towards me. I gave them a big smile and waved.

"Uh, hey." I said

The woman finish eating, "Wassup."

"I know this is going to sound weird, but I wanted to ask you can I have two strawberries."

They look at each other before shrugging, "Sure."

The girl got a napkin and grabbed three strawberries for me. Awwwl they gave me an extra one. God is going to bless them.

"Thank you so much," I said once she gave them to me.

I turned around and saw Nate standing by a bench waiting for me. He was shaking his head at me causing me to laugh. By the time I was by him I was on the last strawberry.

"Was it that serious that you had to interrupt the beautiful couple."

"Uh yea, and it taste so damn good."

He stared at me for a moment before smirking. I tilt my head to the side wondering what he was thinking about.

"So where are we going?"

"I don't know," He stated.

"Wait, what. I walk with you because I thought there would be a destination, and I don't plan on walking all around town."

"Oh come on, let me show you the neighborhood. Just walk and talk with me for an hour."

I groan because that sounded like forever, "Whatever Nate."
