"One chocolate cone please!" I spoke as I stepped up to my place in line. "Make that two!" A deep husky voice drifted from behind me. I turned around and stared wide eyed at none other than Nate Millerson the schools 'bad' boy! His blonde hair was cut to the side, his blue greyish eyes were something you could get lost in, and his black nerd glasses were sitting on his face so perfectly. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth. "Actually just one please!" I said again. Nate looked at me before handing the cashier money. Giving me my ice cream he whispered in my ear, "Think of it as paying forward".
