The mid-November air was chill and stale, it was the kind of air that made breathing through your mouth difficult. The trees were turning from vibrant reds and yellows to bare and brown. I had decided to walk to school instead of biking that day, as now I had to walk outside of school daily for my gym class, and log my times and distances. Balloon, who was coming over to my house again today, grinned and said that it wasnt a problem for him to walk. So we did, and in the silent moments of our conversations my mind took me back to all the experiences I had with him before. I remembered a few days ago, in science class when we were doing a group project. We stared at the chemical reaction happening before us, and we both turned to look at each other at the same time, a shy smile creeping onto Balloons face. I remembered last week, when we had the leaf-fight, how he looked despite the bits of brown leaf tangled in his red hair. I snapped back to reality with the thought, 'I have really fallen head over heels for him, haven't I?' We were walking along the sidewalks when Balloon decided to skip up ahead of me.

"Hey, I want to show you this cool spot I found the other day," He tugged the sleeve of his puffy maroon jacket, "if you aren't in a hurry or anything."

"Sure, we can do that!" I nodded, following him into a split in the bushes. 

The trees stood proudly above us, turning the sunlight that broke through into various colors. The leaves that covered the path crunched and crinkled underneath our feet. We continued chatting and walking, but Balloon was becoming more quiet, so I took over for a bit, spewing random thoughts that came into my head. Eventually, he spoke up again.

"This way, were almost there," He grabbed my hand and lightly tugged it towards another path. The contact made me blush a bit, but I nodded and followed him once more. 

The trees gave way for a sky that was newly painted orange. Clouds covered the sky behind us, but we were too focused on the view in front of us. It was a clearing, at the edge of a cliff. Balloon gestured to a log that seemed to serve as a bench. Peeking over the edge of the cliff was the town, which was starting to light up in preparation for evening events. 

"This place is beautiful, Balloon," I stared in awe at the landscape that was laid out before me as I lowered myself onto the fallen tree. 

"Isn't it?" 

I nodded, and he paused.

"I'm surprised the sun is already starting to set, but I suppose it is almost winter, its bound to start getting darker," I noted, before feeling a warmth on my hand.

"Suitcase,"  I turned my head, first looking at him, and then at my hand, intertwined with his. I looked back up, seeing his brown eyes fixated on mine. I felt a lump in my throat, and my chest started to drum a familiar beat. We stared for what felt like an eternity, until I felt a drop of something on my arm. 

"Balloon," I broke my gaze, looking up, "I think it's going to rain, Balloon."

"O-oh," He looked up as well, "We should find some shelter." 

More raindrops began to fall, and he stood up, holding out his hand and adding, "quickly."
