We walked out of school doors easily; no one was around and the teachers weren't very good at supervision.

We were standing in the parking lot when she asked bluntly "Well where's your car?"

I laughed, "Babe, I didn't bring one."

"Don't call me babe, please."

"Well Aileen I do not have a car."

"Then do you walk to school or something?"

I head bopped a way indicating her to follow me and stopped in front of my motorcycle.

I sat down and got situated. "Hop on."

"No thanks. I should've guessed it was a motorcycle." She shook her head.

I shrugged pretending to start to push off, "Suit yourself."

I wasn't going to leave her, I just wanted to give her an excuse to hug me. I do have a car but I use that when it's raining and such. I prefer to use my bike.

"Fine." She said after she thought about it then I gave her my helmet. She swung a leg on the other side and wrapped her arms around my torso. She was gently touching me unlike the other girls I've let onto my bike. It's like she was afraid I had a contagious disease but had no choice to hug me.

We pulled up to a McDonalds.

"I thought we were going to the diner." She spoke.

"I thought you didn't wanna go." I reminisced, "If I remember correctly, you were the one who said, 'that's sounds like fun if I was stupid.'"

I smiled mischievously when I knew she didn't have a sassy remark which only made her roll her eyes.

"What are you getting?" I asked as we stood in line looking up at the menu.

"A Big Mac." She looked up at me. She was short. Well not that short, but it was cute because I was taller.

"Really?" I asked girls don't usually say that when I ask what they want to eat somewhere. They say salad. Actually I hardly take girls out. It more of a three day fling-thing.

I keep them on their toes making them think they're going to be the one to tame the 'bad boy' which is stupid because you should know by now my policy is three days or less. I have a feel though that this isn't the case right now with her.

"Obviously, I just said that."

"Oh." I answered feeling dumb.

"I'm kidding." She joked. Wow she jokes. But she didn't smile it was a half smile.

I flashed a crooked smile amused, "Let me guess, a salad?" I guessed a common girl platter.

"Are you paying?" She asked.

"I guess, unless you want to pay for yourself." I answered.

"Nope you're paying." She smiled with her lips closed then it was our time to order.

"How my I help you?" The cashier girl asked monotonically with a super upset look like she hates the world and could be somewhere better.

"Um yes I'd like," Aileen started, "A M&M Mcflurry, a Big Mac, medium fries, strawberry shake, a strawberry pie and," she glanced at the menu, "A McChicken no mayonnaise. Oh and a toy from the kids meal!"

She turned around and looked at me mischievously with a sly look on her cute face. As she walked to stand behind me so I can order she mocked and whispered, "Should've went to the diner."
