     "I'm too much of a scaredy cat for that kinda stuff. Just go for it" I laughed before pulling out my drawing supplies.

     "C'mon let's go" he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me into the cement pool.

     "Ethan I really don't want to-" I started but he had already lifted me up and put me on the board that was beginning to wobble.

     "Ethan!" I exclaimed as he starts to wheel me forward.

     "What? I'm not gonna drop you or let you fall" he laughs before walking over to tell hill that led to the deep end. He got me on the middle of the hill before locking his hands tighter on my hips.

     "Bend your knees just a little"

     "Why? What am I gonna do?" I asked as fear courses through my veins.

     "Pumpkin, just trust me and do it" he stared down at me sincerely. I nodded and bent my knees to where I thought it felt right.

      "Now when I let go try and keep your balance as you go down the little stump okay?"

     "I'm scared" I whispered looking down at the concrete in front of me before looking up at him. He just smirks before letting go. I was scared for a split second before I bent my knees and slid down the hill and turned a little to the right. Without falling!

     I step down from the board, pick it up, and hand it to Ethan.

     "Wasn't that fun?" He asked catching up to me.

     "No. That was terrifying" I muttered before climb through the gap in between the building and the fence.

     "C'mon you know it was a little fun!" He slings his arm over my shoulders. I roll my eyes and unlock the car before pushing him toward the passenger side. He grabbed my hand and kissed it before walking to his side.

     "What the crap Ethan? We aren't dating so what was that for?"

     "We might not be dating but you do like me"

     "Wow big ego?"

     "So you're saying you don't like me?!" He asked obviously astonished.

     "I didn't say that-"

     "Ha I knew it!"

     "But I don't know you so drawback" I pull into my driveway and kill the engine before looking back at him.

     "Well why don't we remedy that?" He laughs as he comes around to.open my door that was already propped open my my foot.

     "I would climb up through the window if I were you"  I smile.

     "Um... why?"

     "My dad's a cop. Probably won't trust you as far as he can shoot you" he made an 'O' motion with his mouth before gracefully climbing up the tree and sitting on the shingles by my window.

     "Well? C'mon I'm waiting on you!" He ushered as I slowly made my way to the door. All the lights were off which meant that mom was already asleep and dad was in his office.

     "Hey I'm back!" I whispered to him as I walked into his office.

     "Hey. Well you know mom already went to sleep so I guess I might as well do the same. I'm bushed" he smiled before kissing my forehead and walking sleeping to his room. I wait for the sound of the door clicking shut then run silently up the steps to my room. I tossed my stuff in the bungee chair, kick off my shoes, take off my jacket, and finally open he window.

     "Finally!" He exclaims.

     "Shhhhh! My dad literally jut walked to go get in bed. Shut up!" I whisper as I make my way to my closet, pull out a pair of shorts, a tank top, and two towels.

     "Make yourself comfy. I'm taking a shower" I announce before marching to the bathroom.
