Zachariah’s Point of View
A few weeks later
“So, what does this mean?” Kirsten was
sitting on top of the coffee table, blocking my view of the
basketball game I was watching.
“What does what mean?”
“You know! You and Dasha. Are you together or not? I mean,
you’ve been spending every day together since you told
her.”
“Yeah. So? That doesn’t mean anything.”
“Zachariah, I know you like her, and I know she likes you.
You two are going to be together! I’ve seen it! I know! Just
be with her.” Once again, Kirsten walked away before I could
answer. She was right about two things, though. One: I did like
Dasha and Two: we had been spending a lot of time together.
I was going to eventually be with her, I just didn’t know the
right time to make it official. I jumped up, and grabbed my keys,
then sprinted to the garage. I was going to tell her how I
felt.
Dasha’s Point of
View
It’s Saturday. I’m home alone. Mom and
dad took Landon out for breakfast. He’s officially ungrounded
and hasn’t been out of the house in 1 month except for
school. I was lying on the couch, watching Ed, Edd, n’
Eddy when someone knocked on the door.
I got up, putting my half eaten bowl of dry Lucky Charms on the end
table. I opened the door and Zachariah was there.
“I’m not bothering you am I?”
“No. What’s up?”
“I was wondering if you’d like to take a walk with
me.”
“You hate walking.”
“Well, it’s my kind of walk.”
“Sure.” He grabbed me by one arm and threw me onto his
back. Then he began to run. Everything blurred by so fast, and I
thought for sure that we’d hit something, but in no time he
sat me on the ground in this little clearing. A small stream
bubbled in the far corner. He walked over to it and sat down. I
followed close behind him. I didn’t have any shoes on, so I
put my feet in the water.
“You know, I’m sure parent’s
think something is going on.”
“What do you mean?”
“With us.”
“Why would they think that?”
“I pick you up for school every morning, and drive you home
from practice every day. I just think it’d be a good idea, if
you introduced us. I mean, they’d want to know your boyfriend
wouldn’t they?”
“But, you aren’t my boyfriend.”
“Doesn’t mean I don’t want to be. That’s
actually what I needed to talk to you
about.
