Hello ...

Kyla's Point Of View

2020 block , Ally's Bowling Alley

"So do you know how to bowl?" Jacob asked me as we walked into the bowling alley.

"Um , not really." I shook my head as he chuckled.

"It's easy , look." He handed the man the money."All you have to do is roll the ball into the pins."

"It sounds easy , but 9 times out of 10 it'll be hard."

"Let's find out." He sat up the game.

I looked at the bowling balls as they lined up coming out of the machine. Jacob grabbed one and struck it down the aisle real fast. He made a strike !

"See , it's easy." He smiled grabbing another bowling ball.

He took his turn again knocking down 5 pins & then it was my turn.

I picked up the heavy bowling ball and almost dropped it.

"Ow . Okay . Ow , Jacob this hurts." I whined holding it.

He chuckled taking it out of my hand. "Is this your attempt for us to get closer?"

"No !" I gasped."I really don't know how to play."

"Okay." he shrugged still laughing at me.

He pulled me closer grabbing the both of my arms.

"Okay hold it like this." He gave me the ball. I slipped my fingers through the holes and he pulled me a little closer .

"Like this?"

"Yeah." He pulled my elbows back a little ."Now swing you're arm back."

I did as told .

"Now just swing it frontwards and let the ball go."

I sighed and threw the ball ... maybe a little too hard and it just flew down the aisle .

"Ahhh ! I made a strike ! I made a strike !" I jumped up and down clapping.

"Yeah after almost breaking the floor." Jacob laughed as I playfully pushed him.

After playing two rounds of bowling with Jacob we sat down a table eating nachos and sipping drinks.

"So tell me why you're down here." He ate some nachos.

"Well it's not much to it. My dad earned the custody over me in court & well .. I'm here." I shrugged.

"So you grew up with you're mom?"

"Yeah in California ."

"Really ? What part?"

"Promise you won't judge me?"

"Cross my heart."

"Beverly hills."

"Oooooh." He cupped his mouth."Balling or nah?"

"See there you go judging ."

"Im not I'm just saying . You gotta have some serious cash to be living up there."

"Yeah well when you're mom works in the fashion business , to her , money is no object."

"Hey , everybody ain't able." He shrugged as I sat up.

"Okay tell me about you."

"What do you want to know?"

"Why do you always wear black?"
