----------
Leaning against the wall with my headphones, I waited for Jojo to burst out of the lunchroom doors on the last day of school. He was always being chased by our senior friend Caesar for doing something stupid. I closed my eyes and let my head rest on the wall, melting into the baseline of Roses, realizing how easy it would be to just go home and blast it in my room.
Almost on cue, the lunchroom doors burst open, shaking the wall and making me jump. I opened my eyes to see Jojo laughing like an idiot. Time seemed to slow down as I looked at the way his bedhead shot out to the side and the way his skin wrinkled around his eyes from the ridiculous smile that adorned his face. I looked down a little to see he stole Caesar's headband. Isn't his last class on the other side of campus? I looked back up to catch him wink at me.
I scoffed as Caesar came bolting out of the lunchroom, yelling at him to stop taking his shit. I slowly started to full on laugh. Jojo froze up at the sight and Caesar took the chance to tackle him, both of them tumbling to the ground. Caesar laughed in victory as he held his headband high.
"Take that Jojo! I'm never giving you this headband!"
----------
Me and Jojo were an odd pair. I was a social recluse, hiding in my music, and he was a social butterfly who was the track-star of the ages, running laps around the best in the country. A few weeks after the headband thing, he invited me over to his house, 'for funzies' as he put it. He was also a notorious playboy to whom gender made absolutely no difference. I was concerned before he brought me into the back room and sat me down, left, and came back with a blunt and some bottles.
"What? You thought I was gonna treat you like those people that come here for one thing and one thing only?" I nodded, kind of ashamed. "Damn, my reputation precedes me. Nah, I think you're cool so I figured I'd just have you over to hang out."
"Cool, but is your Mom chill with all that?" He cracks a smile, holding up the bottles.
"She doesn't care too much, as long as this is all we smoke and we don't do anything too stupid." He winked at me, chuckling.
"Oh, so I wouldn't be able to do you anyway. Mom's rules." I snickered at his face as it fell.
"Well now I don't wanna share the blunt, or any stories."
"Nooooo, you gotta tell me the stories! And share the blunt. Otherwise you're just a dick."
"Alright, alright, but only because you asked." He winked at me, lighting the blunt, taking a hit, and passing it. He blew the cloud of smoke up, making little rings. "You know Caesar, but what you didn't know was that I met him in Italy. I also met a few assholes, but they come it later-"
After about an hour, I realized I tuned out of his story and ended up watching him. His eyes when he talked about the thrilling flights, the crease in his forehead when he talked about Caesar getting hurt when they went to that old ass castle, even the little twitch in his eye when he mentioned some guys named ACDC and Cars. I realized that I was falling for this dork, and I didn't have a net.
----------
A few days before the end of summer, he invited me out to walk along these old train tracks that passed by his house. We ended up racing along the tracks before collapsing on one of the abandoned platforms in the middle of the trees. There was a small abandoned road next to the cold cement and we were so far from the city that you could look up and see thousands of stars. We layed on our backs staring into the inky black sky. He slipped his hand into mine, whispering, "I think- I think I love you." I looked at him to see if he was joking, but I had never seen a more serious look on his face. I sat up and he followed.
"I- I'm sorry, it slipped-" I turned and kissed him, cutting him off. He placed his hand in my hair, pulling me closer as we kissed. We couldn't seem to get enough as we fought for dominance, both of us pressing in like we couldn't get close enough. He pulled back, biting my lip and pulling on it. I let him in and we melted together as my heartbeat picked up and he scooped me into his lap, holding me tight.
When we separated, I whispered against his lips. "Just say you'll never let me go."
He smiled, giving me a peck before responding, "I'll never let you go. Ever."
