I couldn't believe my eyes. I was talking to James Hanson. Fun. The guy I Haven't talked to in 2 years. He had gotten taller. His hair looked like different. He had grown it out just a smidge, so his hair when it was geled went to the side. His eyes were still that pretty dark green color that I could just die for. He was perfect.
" So its been a while huh? " He said trying to spark up a conversation.
" Yep.. 2 years, " I said with an awkaward grin on my face.
" So... How've you been? " He asked me.
" Uh, good... And you? " I asked.
" Good, " he said grinning.
Well it was quiet there for a good 4 seconds, until Farah decided to pitch in.
" Hi, I'm Farah her best friend. And you are? " she asked him being very pushy.
" James. What happened to you? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? " He asked as him and his friends laughed.
" Ya ya very funny, " Farah said giving him a mad look.
" Yes I am thank you, " James said.
" So James! " I interuppted their fight.
" You know we should definitley hang out sometime! "
' OH MY GOSH WHAT AM I DOING. ' I thought to my self.
However James definitley took off some embarrassment there.
" Ya... How about tomorrow... " He suggested.
I felt dizzy for a second. Did he ask me out?
" Not like a date, like a hang out thing, "
Guess not.
" Like you can bring Fernanda, "He said.
" Farah! " She cut in.
" Ya whatever, " James told her.
" Ya sure, i'll be there... Wait where am I going to be there exactly? " I asked.
" Uh, how about the drive in. Just meet me by the gates, " he explained.
" Yes I will be there, and so will Farah, " I said.
" Okay see you then, " He said as he then walked away.
" Okay Farah, did that just happen? " I asked.
" Wait who is that guy? " She asked me.
" Well thats James. We were friends in 1st 2nd and 3rd grade until one night when we were neighbors, we sat on the roof and called me pretty. I didn't see him for 2 years until now, " I explained.
" Wow... " She said.
" Ya.. We've been through a lot together, " I said as I looked over at him.
Farah saw this.
" You totally like him! " She accused me.
" What? No! " I said in my " lying " voice.
" Claire! He likes you too! He asked you on a date! "
" NOT a date, we're just hanging out, "
" mhmmm, " She said.
" Oh please, " I said as we both then laughed.
Soon the bell rang.
Wow James and I are hanging out again.
