The Protecter

11

I picked Mitch up from his house, to take him to school.

He got in and I immediately had a question for him. "What was bothering you the other day"? 

He sighed and buckled in. "You know I'm going to college right". Mitch asked.

Scott nodded. "I don't understand. Why would you be mad"? He asked.

Mitch shook his head. "What if we get separated"?

Scott smiled. "Did you get accepted into a college yet"? Scott asked.

Mitch nodded.

Scott made a 'hm' sound. "And which college was that"?

Mitch looked to Scott. "Brown University". Mitch mumbled.

Scott smiled. "Mitchie that's great".

Mitch nodded.

Scott frowned. "Why are you so upset".

"What if I get separated from you, it's in Rhode Island". Mitch said.

Scott smiled again. "Well I guess it's a good think I was accepted too then".

Mitch gasped. "Are you serious"? He asked.

Scott nodded and Mitch clapped, like an excited child.

Scott laughed. "Are you okay now"? 

Mitch nodded. "More than okay".

Scott pulled into the school parking lot. "Just a few more weeks". He said parking the car.

"Just a few more weeks". Mitch repeated.

They were now walking out of school.

Scott sighed. "Do you want to go to a movie". He asked.

Mitch smiled. "What movie".

Scott looked down at him. "What ever your little heart desires". Scott replied

Mitch giggled. "Okay, I'll go look at the current movies then". He said.

"No cartoons please". Scott said.

Mitch let out a giggle. "Fine fine".

Scott opened the car door for Mitch and closed the door, before running around to his side and jumping in his car.

Scott started it and pulled out of the school parking lot.

"I love you, my little angel". Scott said

"I love you too, my Protecter". Mitch replied.
