I felt kinda weird because we stayed there for about 5 minutes just looking at each other. He had really pretty green eyes. He also had a scar right next to his jaw, it stretched out to his chin. Wonder what happened there.
"So...I get off right about now. Did you want to go to Kai's party?"
He stood me up right.
"Haha that should be fun. I heard it's invite only. So we'd be crashing a party."
"I've never been to one before so it should be. Let alone crashing one."
I ran behind the counter and grabbed my phone and the keys to lock up.
I motioned for him to follow. I turned off the lights and headed for the door. We walked out of Marnie's and I locked the front entrance.
"I need to go pass by my house and change. My parents won't mind though, I'll tell them I'm going sleep at Madeline's house."
"Okay. I'll take you. If that's okay."
He put his arm around my waist and
slightly pushed me towards his dark blue 1953 Chevy 5-Dr Woody Wagon. It was a classic townsman station wagon, I could tell. My dad was into cars and got me hooked when I was ten.
"Miles, your car is legit the coolest thing ever. This is my dream car."
He laughed.
"Yeah I like it, my grandpa gave it to me before he passed away when I was 16."
"Oh I'm sorry."
I got in the car and closed the door. I gave him directions on how to get to my house and within ten minutes we were there.
"Do you want to come in? My mom have only met my two best friends once so they honestly think I'm lying about them."
He laughed and then turned off the car.
We walked up to the garage and I typed in 72396, that was my birthday. I opened up the door and closed it after Miles walked in.
"Mom! Jason! Scotty! I'm home!"
My little brothers Jason and Scotty came running towards me with arms spread wide. They were 7 year old twins who were honestly my best friends,we were really close.
"Hey you guys! Where's mom?"
Jason hugged me and Scotty tackled us after.
"She's in the living room. Who's your friend?"
The boys got off me and awkward called out Miles standing there.
"This is my friend Miles. He drove me home from work. I'm going sleep at Madeline's house tonight. Can you go tell mom for me?"
Jason volunteered to tell her. I kissed both of their little heads and jogged to the stairs. Miles followed after me. I opened the door to my room that unveiled the black and white room covered in pictures of me and my family.
"You can sit on my bed, if you want."
I opened my closet door and found a Nirvana singlet.
"Thanks. Cool room. Who's in all of these pictures with you?"
They were my dad. Most of them were months before he left.
"That's my uncle. Him and I are close."
I avoided eye contact as i rummaged around my drawers to find a pair of high waisted black shorts. I ran into the bathroom but kept the door slightly open so I see him but he couldn't see me.
"Oh cool. Almost ready?"
I quickly braided my hair and put a hair tie around it.
"Yeah I'll be out in a second."
