The three of us walk, hand-in-hand, to Spot's car. I text Jack to let him know what's going on. My phone blows up with notifications, so he must be happy for me. I crack a small smile as I climb into the backseat, with Spot in the drivers seat and Albert in the passengers seat. The engine starts and we leave the school's parking lot. I rest my head against the window as we chat. My brain is still processing that this is actually happening. I keep pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.
We're just driving around randomly, with no real destination in mind. I start to realize that I've never really taken the time to soak in the scenery. I never realized how beautiful this town is. Huh.
"So..." Albert starts. "I was thinking that Friday, after school, we go to the diner that just opened! I've heard it's good, and there's an arcade across the street!" He says, beaming. Spot and I both agree to the date.
We end up driving for a few hours, stopping to watch the sun set. We're watching it from the trunk of Spot's car. The brilliant colors fill the sky as I subconsciously rest my head on Albert's shoulder. Spot wraps an arm around my waist. And it's weird. It's weird to feel like this. To feel this loved.
But I'm not complaining.
