James didn't crash my car. Even if he would've I couldn't have cared less. I probably would have asked my dad for another car. If he would say no I would threaten him. I'd end up having my car and probably being able to threaten him for as long as I possibly could.

James parks the car and hands me the keys.

"Not bad," I tell him getting out of the car to check out his parking skills. 

"Could be better?" he says judging his work.

"You're better at parking than I am, that is a compliment," I tell him making him smile.

We enter the diner. The traditional red booths present. I don't see anyone from school, thank god. 

"What would you like?" he asks me

"A vanilla milkshake with a chicken burger with french fries" I answer reaching for my wallet in my bag. I get it out and hand him a 50 dollar bill. He doesn't take it.

"My treat" he answers getting in line to order.

"Are you sure?" I ask not wanting to seem like a burden.

"Yes I'm sure, you can pay next time," he says smiling at me. 

"So you're planning for a next time?" I ask curiously.

"I sure am," he says smiling.
