my sister and I talked about "the thing" this morning as I drove us to school.
she said she couldn't care less.
all that drama and hiding for nothing.
I was sitting in first period when I decided to check what time the library closed.
"three pm?!"
I had whispered a little to loud.
school was out at 2:30.
I already knew George was to much of a goody two-shoes to skip school for a date..
but it's worth a shot.
I had planned to talk to him in gym about it.
as the hours passed, it was time.
10 am on the dot.
George walked into the locker room.
as he made his way to his locker, I had snagged his wrist and pulled him aside.
"what the- why so agressive?"
I apologized profusely and rubbed his wrist.
my plan.
"okay George listen, so uh, the place I wanted to take you earlier today.. kinda closes at three.. and if we left when school ended we wouldnt-"
he looked at me straight faced.
"so you want to skip?"
"well I mean.. maybe skips a strong- yes. listen I know I know you'll scold me about how schools important but come on, just this once?"
he looked to his side then back.
he sighed.
"screw it. it's high school who cares. we can hide in the bathrooms, then when everybody leaves we'll get outta here."
he was more prepared than me. shocking.
we took turns walking to the restroom and waited.
the second we thought we were clear, the restroom door blasted open.
I looked at the white checkered shoes and immediately knew who it was.
"what are you two doing here? get your asses outside!"
I looked at George than back to the tall boy.
"Sap, we aren't trying to go outside."
he looked confused, then his face lit up.
"oooh I got you I got you. don't sweat it I'll get you off the hook. I'll see you at practice yeah?"
I nodded and he was gone.
"that was easy"
I looked down at the Brit and laughed.
we were off.
