floating away

the river bank

"So, what do you want to do?" Finn asked happily.

"Not sure," I said "Maybe we could go down to the river."

"Sure, where's that?" He asked.

"Follow me!" I yelled running ahead.

"Wait!" Finn yelled running after me laughing.

We made it to the river quickly.

We sat down by the waters edge.

He looked in my eyes and smiled.

I looked back. This was real.

"Sooo," I said trying to stop the staring. "How are you?"

"Fine. You doing ok? Excited for school?" He asked.

"Sure, I mean... not really. Ha."

"Yeah me either." I said.

It was a minute of awkward silence.

He stared at me again. But this time, not smiling.

He looked continent, and so did I.

He leaned in, but I quickly looked away.
