"Haliey, I haven't been here the whole time. I just came back, besides, what's up? You seem kinda jumpy."
"Oh sorry, it's nothing."
* * * * * *
Ding Dong
"I'll get it mom!"
"Okay."
Running down the stairs I trip and fall. Getting up and blushing with embarrassment even though no one saw me. I was still rubbing my knee when I opened the door.
"Hello?" I said without looking up.
When I heard the scrachy masculan voice belonging to a teenage guy replying with a short hi, I stopped rubbing my knee and looked up startled. It was him, the guy from nextdoor Angel Boy! I froze, unable to do anything but stare.
"Um, my mom wanted me to bring over this pie for you guys since you're new to the neighborhood."
I started to giggle uncontrolably. He looked kinda scared at this. He shoved his hands in his pockets and started shuffling his feet. He wouldn't look up at me when he started talking. He was stuttering!
"Umm, she's kinda old fashioned huh?" He flashed me a grin and rolled his eyes.
"No, it's not that." I said, laughing so hard now I thought I might burst.
"It's just that you must have forgotten the pie, because unless you folded it up and stuck it into your pocket, I didn't see you walk up with one."
For a minute he looked like he was gonna cry. All of a sudden we both burst out into a sudden fit of laughter. When we finally got ourselves together we introduced ourselves and I invited him in. He said he had to go soon, cuz his mom was probably wondering when he'd come back for the pie.
"Well goodbye then Taylor."
Bye Haliey...Oh wait a minute, I got and idea, how about if you and your mom come on over for dinner and then we can all have the pie for desert."
"Okay, you sure your mom won't mind?"
"Nah, she loves company."
"What time should we come?"
"Six-thirty should be about right."
"Well, at least it's better than McDonalds or Pizza Hut, which is what we probably would have done otherwise, so, we'll be there at six-thirty."
Okay see ya then!"
I watched him walk all the way back to his house. Once he went inside, I shut the door, leaning against it breathless. I thought about how fine he was.
*I'm eating dinner at his house!*
"YES!"
"Yes what honey?"
"Oh um, I'm just excited because we don't have to order out tonight."
"Why not?, I thought you liked ordering out."
"No, it gets kinda sickening I guess besides, we were invited over for dinner at the neighbors."
"You mean the nice boy that just came over? The one you were staring at out your window for like 15 minutes?"
"Mooom, you said you weren't watching the whole time!"
Opps, I must have forgotten!" she said walking away.
"So is that him?"
"Yes!" I screeched running after her, "But don't tell hime I like him!"
"What if I accidently forget?" she asked me in a mocking voice.
