I'm the Loner, and He's the Jock

Ok, so coming to the park with my old best friend and my fiancée might have been a bad idea.

So Dakota are you here for good or are you planning on leaving any time soon? I wrote and showed Dakota.

“No, we’re back here for good. I told my parent’s that we’re not allowed to leave until I got to college,” Dakota replied.

Good. Because I’m not letting you leave again, I wrote.

“Way to let someone feel left you of a conversation,” Chad said.

Your welcome, I wrote with a giggle.

“You should giggle and laugh more often,” Dakota said.

I snorted. I would if I had a reason too.

“Well, then we’ll make you have a reason too,” Chad said.

“How are we going to do that?” Dakota asked.

“We’ll think of something,” Chad replied.

I want ice cream, I wrote.

“I’m up for ice cream,” Dakota said.

“Me too. We can take my car,” Chad said.

Let’s go then, I wrote hopping off of Chad’s lap.

“SHOT GUN!” Dakota shouted.

I glared at him.

I wanted shot gun, I wrote.

“Too bad,” he said sticking his tongue out at me.

“Let her have shot gun,” Chad said.

“But why?” Dakota whined.

If I could do the Nelson laugh from the Simpsons I would, I wrote then laughed.

Chad started laughing.

“Sucker,” Chad said.

“Oh bite me,” Dakota said.

So being me I stopped walking and bit his shoulder.

“OW! What was that for?” Dakota asked.

“You said bite me, so she bit you,” Chad said.

“She didn’t have to bite my shoulder,” Dakota said rubbing his shoulder.

What else was I supposed to bite? I asked.

“Well....” Dakota started.

“Don’t finish that sentence,” Chad said.

Gah, men are disgusting, I wrote.

“Ah, but that is why you women love us dearly,” Dakota said putting his arm around my shoulders.

“Ok, hop in,” Chad said when we reached his mustang.

I opened the passenger door and got in. I threw my bag in the back seat with Dakota.
I had my notebook in my lap as we headed for the ice cream parlour.

“Does the same little old lady run the place?” Dakota asked.

“No, she died a year ago. Her son and daughter run it now,” Chad replied.

“Oh wow, that sucks a lot. She was so cool,” Dakota said.

“Yea she was. She gave me free ice cream on my birthday,” Chad said with a smiled.

Drive faster, I wrote.

“Alyssa I can’t exactly see that. I have to keep my eyes on the road,” Chad said.

I rolled my eyes.

“Here let me see,” Dakota said.

I passed my note book back to him.

“She says to drive faster,” Dakota said reading what I wrote.

Chad laughed. “I can’t drive any faster. Or I would be going over the speed limit.”

I just stuck my tongue out at him.

“I could walk faster than this,” Dakota said.

“Then get out and walk,” Chad said.

I took my note book from Dakota and wrote; You just got told buddy,

“Kiss my ass Alyssa,” Dakota said.

No thanks, I’m good thanks, I wrote with a giggle.

“What are you giggling about?” Chad asked.

“She won’t kiss my ass,” Dakota said.

“Who would?” Chad asked with a smirk.

“I’m not going to answer that,” Dakota mumbled.

I looked around the seat and raised my eyebrow at him.

“Don’t ask,” he said looking at me.

“Here we are ladies and gents,” Chad said pulling into the parking lot.

I hoped out of the car and brought my notebook with me.

“I want bubble gum,” Dakota said.

You always get bubble gum, I wrote.

“That’s because it’s good,” Dakota said.

“Nah, Chocolate is better,” Chad said.

THANK YOU! I wrote.

Chad raised an eyebrow at me.

“It’s her favourite,” Dakota said.

“Ah,” Chad said as we walked into the ice cream parlour.

“Hi, how can I help you?” asked a cheery girl from behind the counter.

“Hi, can I get two cones double scoop of chocolate, and a double scoop of bubble gum?” Chad asked.

“Sure,” she said going to make them.

“I got them guys,” Chad said.

“I can get my own,” Dakota said.

Me too, I signed being too lazy to write.

“Nope, it’s my treat,” Chad said.

I raised my eyebrow at his niceness.

“What?” he asked.

I just shook my head and took my ice cream from him.

“That comes to $14.56,” the cheery girl said.

Chad handed her the money and waited for his change. When he received it we went to go find a table.

“Hey, Alyssa,” Chad said.

I looked at him.

“Did your parents tell you, that we’re coming over for dinner tomorrow night?” he asked.

I froze and shook my head.

“Yea, it’s so they can talk wedding details,” he said rolling his eyes.

I can’t see why they can’t wait. I want to be done high school before I’m married,

“Same here. But my parents said that we’re graduating this year, so there’s nothing to worry about,” Chad said.

What about college?

“I don’t know,” he replied.

“Ok, way to kick me out of the conversation guys,” Dakota said.

Your welcome I wrote with a smile.

“You suck,” Dakota said.

Nuh uh, you do,

“Are we really going to start this?” Chad asked.

I nodded my head smiling.

Dakota hit the back of my head causing my face to go into my ice cream.

Oh no he didn’t.

I took my face from my ice cream and glared at Dakota who was just practically rolling around on the ground laughing.

I took Chad’s ice cream from him, and shoved it in Dakota’s face. He looked at me shocked and I had a satisfied look on my face.

Chad is just sitting there laughing. Dakota gives me a look then shoves his own ice cream in Chad’s face.

Chad stopped laughing and looked at Dakota in shock. Dakota and I burst into laughter. Soon after Chad joined us.

Best day ever, I wrote when we all calmed down.

Chad smiled at me. I smiled back at him.

Maybe he’s not as bad as I thought.
