"I underatand if you can't go." He says.

     "No," I start again, "What I was saying is if you want, I'm planning on going for a run on Saturday morning. If you wanted to join me and call it a date, then we could work something out."

     "Oh." Zeke says, surprised, "Yeah! Yeah! That'd be great! What time were you thinking?"

     I smile, actually feeling good about it, "I was thinking nine?"

     "Nine. Nine sounds great! I'll probably see you before Saturday, so I'll just say see you later then." He says.

     I chuckle, "Okay. Bye, Zeke."

     "See you." He answers.

     He hangs up the phone.

     I put the phone down and stare at the wall thoughtfully.

     This won't be so bad, will it?

     :     :    :    :    :

     I'm beyond excited when I see whose caller ID is on my phone.

     I answer it brightly, "Hello, William!"

     He laughs, "Hi there. What's with the William?"

     I shrug, "I thought I'd give it a try."

     He asks thoughtfully, "What'd you think?"

     I hum, "I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know when I find out."

     "Promise?"

     "Promise."

     "So what are you doing?"

     "Oh, you know. The normal things incredibly smart people do." I smile.

     "Well, I wouldn't know, would I?" He jokes.

     "I suppose not." I grin.

     "But really," I can sense him smiling eyes, "What are you up to?"

     "Studying."

     He groans, exteodinarily loud in my ear, "UGGGGGH!"

     I wince, "Um, ouch!  Excuse me as I clean the blood out of my ear."

     He chuckles, "Sorry. It's just that you and your studying habits inspire my inner serial killer."

     "Remind me to never study around you, like ever."

     "You think a knife is a decent reminder?"

     "I'd say."

     "So what are your plans for today?" He asks.

     "I kinda want to go to the library." I mutter.

     "There really is nothing that you dont do without a book is there?"

     "Only 99.8% of the things."

     "What's the other 0.2%?"

     "Running or soccer."

     "Of course."

      "So what are you doing right now AND today?" I say, flipping a page in my textbook.

     "Well, right now i'm at Dylan's place." He says.

     "What? Really? How is it so quiet?" I say, surprised.
