Let Me Be Your Reason

chapter seven.

"Wow! This place is actually pretty cool." I smiled with amazement after our nearly hour drive to the go-kart place. It was indoors, and it was so decoritive. "I love this place, you're gonna love it too, promise." Caleb smiled at me as he walked over to the desk. "Hey! Two all day passes, please." Caleb smiled at the man. "Of course, Caleb." The man behind him smiled back. "Do you come here often or something?" I asked him as we walked away. "Well, I guess you could say that." Caleb smiled as he put my paper braclet around my wrist, showing that we paid. Ugh, he needs to stop with these half story things, he's so interesting. I guess that's a good thing. "Let's go!" He ran from me towards the go-karts. "Hey! Wait up!" I laughed chasing after him. We stood in line and waited until we could get our karts. "Ready to eat my dust?" Caleb laughed. "I don't eat anything." I laughed a little and drove off. Not even a second after I said that, I realized what I just did. I hope he doesn't read into it to much. Hopefully he thinks nothing of it.

"Let's get some dinner. I'm starved." Caleb said as we got into his car leaving the go-kart place. "Uh, yeah. Um I guess we could." I said looking down at my hands that I was playing with nervously. "Or I could just bring you home and get food myself." He said trying to get my attention as he stared at me. "Sure, I mean. Yeah, it's probably getting late anyway." I said looking at the clock. It was only 7:30. "Yep, that's fine. I'll just take you home now." He replied as we pulled off and headed towards the highway. The long ride took forever, all we shared was awkward silence. Finally we pulled up to my house. "Thanks for today, I really enjoyed it." I smiled as I put my hand on the door getting ready to leave. "Analeigh?" He asked quickly. I looked back at him, "Yeah?" "Why won't you eat?" He asked, it looked like he had just lost a puppy. His eyes looked so sad, I've never seen him like this before. "I'm gonna, right now. Don't worry. I'll text you later." I smiled and walked out of the car.
