"aAaah" I screeched as I tried to balance myself on the ladder but miserably failed.
"dumbass.." Toby muttered under his breath.

No no no no, I'm late!! Though I'm not surprised.. why in the world did I decide to take a shower 20 minutes before our meeting time?? Shay is probably waiting for me..or what if she left?! No, I sure hope not..
I grabbed my keys, and looked at the mirror. Blowsy hair, sticking out from every angle, probably because I didn't properly blow dry it.. and brushing it only made it more electricalized. Old, unintentionally ripped jeans and a plain white T-shirt. Nothing new. Wow I'm so fashionable..
Whatever, Shay is waiting, I don't want to be even more late.
I really hope it goes well. What do I call it? A meeting... hangout? Date?!! My thoughts made me more nervous. I tried to stop thinking about, heading out and locking the door. I hadn't told my mom about anything. Not Shay, not the weird video.. I don't think she has to know about it, not now at least. And besides, I don't have to, I'm an adult. I can do whatever I want hehe.
"Will! Heyy!" I noticed Shay waving at me. She had a lime green t-shirt on, the sleeve sliding off of one shoulder, the word 'METAL' printed on it. I would've never thought she'd be a metal fan.. I would've thought she liked indie or soft rock maybe.. Her hair was tied up in her usual low ponytail. I walked up to her.
"Hi.." Shay looked at my hair, but didn't say anything. "Hey, how long have you been living here?" "My whole life actually. Why?" "Then you know our town well, right?" "Uh.. I don't really go out much, so no, not really." I felt a bit embarrassed. I was almost admitting that I was depressingly lonely.
"Well then you definitely don't know the place I'm about to show you." She smiled mischievously at me. "Wha-? Aren't we going to the store to get some ice cream??" "Hah. You're so naive.." What?? What does she mean by that?? I thought we were going to get ice-cream... Is she going to kidnap me?? Is Shay actually evil??
"We're going to a very pretty place, where they have the best ice cream!! Oh you're gonna love it!" "A pretty place? In our town?? Sounds unbelievable.. is it far from here?" "Ahahaa... By the way, what's you're favourite ice cream flavour..?" She nervously asked, avoiding eye contact. Did she just ignore my question?
"Hey! You didn't answer my question." "Just follow me, it's not that far." She started walking off, not waiting for me. I caught up with her. Please don't tell me it's far.. or what if she leads me into a forest and murders me?? Hm, sounds like a pretty good thriller movie, I'd probably watch it. Shay turned to me, looking at me questioningly. Oh right, her question. "My favourite..hm, probably pistachio." "PISTACHIO?! Ew, who likes that?? It's bitter." Wha- how dare she insult pistachio. What kind of person is she? "What? You have something against pistachio ice cream? And what's your favourite flavour? Chocolate?" "Heyy! How did you know? Lucky guess." "Hah, you're kinda predictable. I'm just the main character in a typical anime is all." "Oh really? How about this. Is this predictable?" She shoved her hands under my shirt and started tickling me. "AHH AHAHAS STOPP- PLEASE" I screeched, sounding very non-manly.
