We both catch our breath looking at each other. My face starts to turn red and I look back at the fireworks.

"Sorry."

"Don't be. I...I liked it." I said, still not able to face him.

"I don't know if you can tell but I like you." He says laughing.

"Oh really? I couldn't tell. But just in case you don't know either...I like you too." I turn my head to him and smile.

"Should we get back home?"

"Let's go!"

He stands up and offers me his hand which I take and pulls me into a hug quickly after. I giggle.

"I thought you said we were going home."

"I know, let's go. Walk."

I try walking but he still tightly holds me. "Yah I can't move."

"The car is right there you could do it."

I try moving out of his grasp but he doesn't budge. An idea pops in my head. I tippy toe and kiss him on the cheek. I felt his arm start to get loose around me and I got out his arms.

"AHA got out. Let's go home now."

"You tricked me."

"Sorry gotta do what I gotta do."

We like each other. He likes me. That was more than enough to know that he is not just my hallway crush anymore.
