6. Meeting Her

For some odd fucking reason we don't have school the rest of the week. I'm not complaining though, cause I don't give a fuck. I decided I was gonna actually do something today, so I put on a random shirt and a pair of jeans and then whatever shoes I could find. Then I grabbed my phone, my ear buds, my wallet, and my house key. I walked down the stairs as I ran my fingers through my hair. Of course no one was home, which was fine by me. I walked out the door with my ear buds in as I blasted whatever song was playing on Pandora. I figured I'd walk to the park since that was the closet place I could think of. As I got closer and closer to the park, I noticed someone. It was her. Alex. She was sitting on the swing singing some song about going down swinging or whatever. I could hear her singing as I got closer. She looked up from her phone and noticed me. She immediately stopped singing and looked at me in shock. "D-did you hear me singing?" she asked me with pure shock in her eyes. "Yeah." I replied. "Is that a bad thing?" I asked as I sat in the swing next to her. "Yes" she mumbled. "How so?" I asked. "Because I sound terrible." she whispered. "You sound amazing" I thought. "You're okay. You sound better than most of the girls at our shitty school." I replied instead. "Thanks. I guess. I better get going" she said in a hurry. She jumped off the swing and started to speed walk down the sidewalk. "Wait!" I yelled as I ran after her. Damn she walks fast. I finally caught up to her. "Hey, do you wanna go get some ice cream?" I asked. "Uh...s-sure" she said shyly. We turned around and began walking towards the ice cream parlor.
