The ones who fell in love

The note

Stupid comforter is itchy. The feathers keep tickling my face.

Ugh. Stop.

I smack my face and hear a giggle. I know exactly who it is. I roll over and grab my little cousin Kye. He's adorable. He starts giggling like the little 4 year old he is.

"Little butt munch! what are you doing in my room!?" I manage to say while laughing and tickling the poor kid to death. "Aunty M wanted me to see if you wanted cookies!" "Tell Aunty M I'll be up in a minute, but how long did I take a nap for?" "It's 5 o'clock right now!" the overly excited 4 year old yelps. "Okay, go sneak up on Aunty M and scare her and I'll come help in a minute!" Kye runs out of the room and summersaults down the hall way like a ninja.

I grab my phone off of the dresser and check it. 2 missed calls from Echo. Oops. I'll call her later. I walk into the living room to see Kye and Aunty M sitting on the couch watching sponge bob. I grab a cookie and go sit next to them. All of a sudden I hear the doorbell ring. "I got it." I say stuffing the cookie in my mouth. I finish chewing before I open the door to see who it is. It's Zak. Shit. What did I do.
"Aye, Alaska I was wondering if you wanted to like hang out maybe?" "Uhm hold on a sec," I walk to Aunty M. "A friend of mine wants to know if I can hang out for a while, can I?"
"Y'all made friends already? Is it a girl or a boy?!""he's a boy Aunty M" "ohhhh, Alaska,be home by 8 for dinner!" I nod and walk back to Zak grabbing my house keys.

Zak and I are walking around the neighbor hood. He's attempting to make small talk and its SOOO CUTE. "So did you have a boyfriend back in North Dakota?" "That's random." I say giving him a chuckle. "You don't gotta answer, I was just askin'"
"It's fine, buta yeah, I did. Then he cheated on me with my bestfriend and I guess I just never really looked for another guy that I get along with." I say kinda shyly. Zak stops straight in his tracks and turns to me. "I hate guys who cheat on beautiful girls like you." He whispers in my ear pulling me a little closer. I feel my face turn red. I have no idea what to say. I'm too awkward for this kind of moment. I pull back slightly. "Well, that means a lot, thanks." I bat my eyes. He smiles softly. "You're welcome." We wander over to the near by park. I spot a little blue swing and walk over and sit on it. I start pumping my legs to get going a little when I feel something touch my back. I turn to see Zak pushing me gently on the swing. I look up and smile. He's so cute. I hope I'm not like flirting too much or anything. Maybe he likes me? I doubt it. Oh welllll. "Aren't you just a gentleman?" I say giving him a little smile and bitting my lip. "Well, you know, that's what I'm good at." he shoots me a wink.

"YOURE BETTER THAN DRUGS, YOUR LOVE IS MY LIF-" his phone starts ringing.
"Ayeee what's up shawty?"
He's talking on the phone to what seems to be a girl. Cool. There goes my chance. Ugh. He's fucking sexy too. I wanna get to know him. But like he probably doesn't like me. Ugh. I hate him. He's so cute.
WHYY.
"sorry, that was Sutton, she said she's throwing a party this Friday and I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go with me?" HOLY SHIT. DID HE JUST ASK ME TO A PARTY? He did. What do I say? Like omg.
"Uhmm, maybe." I say smiling a secretive smile. Damn im good at this.
"What's it gonna take for me to get you to say yes?"
How bout you think of something?" I slightly smile. I hope I'm not being too hard to get.
Oh well.
Fuck it.
"Well, I think of something, but in the mean time, I wanna get to know you." Oh shit. I don't know what to say. There's nothing to know about me really.
"What do you wanna know?" I give him a questioning stare.
"What's your story. Like of your life. Like what you did back in North Dakota for fun."
"Well, I partied mainly, I hung out with Echo everyday, things like that I guess. I mean like, I always walked around me neighborhood. That's about it. But there was this one time, a bunch of my friends and I walked to this abandon house by the interstate and took spray paint and graffitied the hell out f that house. After that, that was our house. We hung out there everyday, just like bullshitting with each other and telling stories about all the crazy times we've had and chain smoking because we thought it'd make us cool, drinking cherry UV on the weekends, staying out till midnight and not coming home, smoking weed like no tomorrow. It was great."
"You have a lot to you. You know that?"
"Yeah, I'm weird." I gave him a little laugh.
"But what's your story?" He questioned.
"I just told you!"
"I understand that, but your life story."
"I like people being happy, I spend all of my time making people happy because of everybody else is happy, there's no reason you can't be; that's my story."
"Why aren't you happy?" He looked me in the eyes.
He's like scaring me. He knows there's something wrong with me. Fuck.
Maybe I should just walk home.
No. That's too mean. Ugh.
"It's stupid, don't worry about it." I shot him a smile.
I LIKE SMOKING WEED, I LIKE GETTING FLY, I LIKE HAVING SE-
I grab around for my phone. It's echo.
As soon as I answer Im sure Zak heard her holler "REAL NIGGA, WHERE'VE YOU BEEN!?"
"I have to go, I'm with a friend, I'll call you later." I hung up.
She'll probably call back. Haha. I'm mean. Oh well.
"That doesn't answer my question." He's looking at me with this big blue eyes. Like he actually cares. Fuckk.
"It's not important, I'm being serious. You don't have to worry about it."
I'm smiling at him and I know he knows I'm hiding something.
My phones vibrating and its pissing me off.
Fuck. It's my mom. Ugh. She texted me.
"Hey, my mom said I have to go home and help finish unpacking, you should walk me home or something." Oh hell. What if he doesn't wanna walk me home? I'm so forceful.
"Sounds good." He's smiling at me. Oh good. Maybe he actually wanted to.
