She is not my girlfriend

It's funny how you can know somebody for long and they change right in front of you.

Dave's POV

"Let me know how you talked me into this!" I yelled against the raging wind.

"You can't back out now Dave!" Kath yelled,squinting her eyes in the wind. "We made a pact!".

"To hell with the pact,I am not going to die young because of you!" I yelled.

"Dave! We are doing this together!" Kath yelled back.

I should have known yesterday when Kath asked me, "Dave? Are you scared of heights?" That something was wrong somewhere.

I responded with an ,'uh,not really I guess. It depends on the height and where i'm looking from'. Apparently,that answer only encouraged her more to take me sky diving. Now we were on a plane high up in the sky with parachutes.

"Don't worry,you will be safe" Our instructor said, "just get ready to pull out the parachute when i tell you,you will be fine and also,never jump past the jump zone".

"It doesn't matter cos' I am not doing this" I said.

"Come on Dave, pleaassseeee" Kath begged.

I looked at her pleading eyes and sighed heavily in defeat. "if I die,I will haunt you".

Kath grinned and wore her goggles. I did the same.

"Follow me" the instructor said "aannnd....JUMP!".

Everything happened so fast that when I opened my eyes,I was screaming and hovering in the air,gently gliding down. This has got to be the most impulsive thing I had ever done.

"Aaaaahhhh!!!" I saw Katherine screaming and laughing at the same time. At a point,our instructor told us to let out our parachutes and we did. It turns out it wasn't as scary and terrifying as it was at first. Kath took a few pictures. She is lucky her phone didn't drop,it would have been irreparable.

My thoughts wandered and I thought about yesterday,Katherine was so upset about the man and that bothered me. I wasn't used to seeing Kath bothered,it just wasn't her. What the man said bothered me too but I had to stay strong for Kath. She didn't look too enthusiastic at that moment and I didn't want to burden her with my worries so I ignored it and made Kath forget it.

We finally landed and changed back to our clothes. I walked out of the building in large strides with Kath in tow.

"You should have seen your face" Kath laughed, "I thought you were going to pee your pants".

I adjusted my trousers, "no, you should have seen your face".

"So where are we going next?" Kath asked.

"What do you mean we? The only place we and by we I mean you are going is home".

"Why?!" Kath whined.

"My shift starts soon" i answered simply.

"What about tomorrow?".
