Chapter 10

“What? Why are you asking me if I have feelings for you?” I question Jason, trying not to show him that I was nervous.

“Well, I was just wondering. Can I at least ask you?” he asks.

“Yeah, but that won’t get you too far.” I reply, not trying to sound so harsh.

“Can you come up with an answer?” he smiles, which made me smile back.

“If I would come right out with it, will you stop hounding me?” I said.

He nods his head. If I told him, what would he say? Would he freak out or something? Maybe he’d be ok with it. Either way, it’ll be a good thing, or a bad thing, fifty-fifty chance there.

“Sure, what ever you say. I promise,” he states, holding out his pinky like a “pinky promise.” I laugh and cover my face with my hands, then I wrap my pinky finger around his and give it a little tug.

“Yes,” I blurt out as I let go of his finger.

“Yes?” he replies, he didn’t look surprised.

“How come you don’t look amazed?” I ask him.

“I knew all along.” He chuckles. “I’m just good like that. I was listening in when you and Kendra were on the phone last night.”

“You listen in on her calls?”

“Well, I guess you could say that, but it was only because you were on the other line.”

I sigh. “Looks like my secrets out.”

“Do you think we could hang out later after school? It is a Friday, so maybe we could; umm hang out at the movies or something.” He offers.

I smile. “I’d like that, but you know we’ll probably be late for school again.” My smile alters into a frown.

“Why don’t we just skip school?” he suggests.

“Play hooky? Many I was in the big ghetto area back home and everyone did that, but not me. You mean people out here do it too?” I act surprised.

“Of course, everyone at least does it once in their life. What do you say?” he replies.

I stand there and start thinking about it for a little. I felt someone staring at me from behind though.

“Jason, is my dad peeking out the window?” I question.

He takes a quick look up at my house then back at me.

“Yeah,” he responds with a nod.

“Ok, let’s go the same direction as if we were going to school. Once my house is out of sight, then we’ll have the day to ourselves.” I exclaim in a slight whisper.

“Sounds like a plan,” Jason said. “Do you want me to take my truck? We can go to the county fair for the morning, then movies later.”

“Alright! Let’s get to the truck.” I reply, as we both laugh and ran back to his house and got into his bright red, Dodge Ram. I might have been a girl, and I really wasn’t into trucks much, but this was nice.

“I wish I had one of these.” I insist.

“You like my truck? I didn’t think you were much of a truck kind of person, at least that’s what I thought.” Jason states.

“I’m not, but this is a nice truck.” I tell him.

Jason just laughs as he starts up the truck and backs out of his long narrow driveway. I never would have thought I’d be doing hooky, especially with the one that I adore most.
