Through My Eyes
2.01
Kevin sat there on the cold bleachers, rose in his hand, looking up at me. "You were the one who put the note in my locker?" "..Yes," he sighed. I started to explain myself to him, "I would've showed up, I promise. But I thought it was someone else." "Oh, uh ok," he replied a little confused. "You look cold," I said, changing the subject. He laughed, "Nah, men don't get cold." I wrapped my arms around him, it was autumn so it got pretty chilly at night. "Well in this case, I'm cold," he said putting his arms around me. I rested my head in his neck. I always thought Kev was the cutest thing in the world, so respectful and sweet. David on the other hand, is what you call a player. He's probably pulled that move on tons of girls, the 'sit on my lap, kiss me' move. If Kevin truly liked me, I believed him. And to be honest, I like him back. He pushed my hair out of my face and kissed me, "I like you Veronica," he admitted. It was just what I wanted to hear too, "I like you too," I said a little surprised that I was finally saying it. "Really?" He took my hand, folding his fingers right in between mine. "Yes really." He kissed me again, Kevin Gardener, the best looking boy in our grade, kissing me. He pulled away, "Then.. um.. will you.. be my girlfriend?" "Yes," I said wrapping my arms around his neck, trying to control my excitement. "One second," I called my mom and told her she could leave and I'd be home soon. "Be careful," she replied like all other moms. "I'll walk you home," he looked at me. I smiled, "Thank you." He grabbed my hand again, and we walked, out of the fields, onto the main street; together. I was enjoying myself, but I kept thinking about David, how was I going to explain this to him.
