Dumb Love (completed)

(2) Moon Bucks

RIIING

Class was letting out .

Zander pulled me to the side and said "Wait for me after class."

"OK." I said probably looking stupid.

Once he got out he walked over to me.

"Hey me, you, Moon Bucks after school?"

"Umm, wouldn't Natalia get mad?" I questioned.

"She doesn't have to know everything.." He said smirking.

"Carter get over here!" Meg yelled pulling me to the side.

"What?" I whispered even though I already knew what she was going to say.

"He just hit on you!" She screamed.

"I know..he was so cute and so...I don't know..the way he looked at me with those big brown eyes and how his light brown hair curled and flopped over to one side in that perfect little swirl. How he had that look of happiness or hope in his face and smelled of cologne and fall." I said biting my lip.

Meghan just looked at me with that "that was so weird" look.

"Wow, I just said that outloud." I whispered.

"Haha." Meg laughed nodding. We walked outside.

I hopped on my bike and plugged in my ear buds listening to Taylor Swift and pretending I was in a music video.

"Your on the phone with your girlfriend she's upset, going off about something that you said, cuz she doesn't get your humor like Iiii dooo."

Once I got home I freshened up.

"Oh crap!" I yelled.

I totally forgot about Landon! I grabbed my phone and called Meg.

Bliing,bBliing.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey I'm sorry but can you pick up Landon..?" I asked.

"Uggh you better be glad I love you, when do you want to drop him off?"

"8:00. I don't want him to be mad at me."

"OK bye." Meg hung up.

I hopped in my car and drove to Moon Bucks. I stared in the mirror. Was it to good to be true? Was this really happening or am I just misinterpreting all of this?

I wasn't going to get my hopes up to be let down..again. So in order to do that I had to put myself down and lower my expectations and assume the worst.

I pulled into Moon Bucks and parked.

I immediately saw him standing at the door.

My knees started wobbling and then I ducked behind a car. What the crap was happening?! I needed to shake this and go up there!

The only problem was my legs didn't feel the same way. I heard the car's engine start up and I jumped on the car in shock. The old lady screamed and got out of her car.

She was wearing purple,velvety sweats with nurses shoes and long gray hair that was clearly a wig and leaning on a cane.

"Are you trying to steal my car?" She croaked.

"Um, no mam, I'm so sorry." I quivered.

"Sure looks like it!" She yelled and stabbed me with her cane.

"Ow! I came here in MY OWN car wrinkles!" I said hopping and holding my right leg.

"Now wait a minute don't get fresh with me!" She yelled loudly. Then stabbed me with her cane again this time knocking me off my feet.
