* bell rings *

I'm heading to my locker after class as I open it to find a note... It's written on a sticky note which reads..

"Meet me at the football field.. I wanna get to know you :)"

As I make my way to the football field, I open the gate and look around. I don't see anyone so I decide to take a seat on the bleachers and wait. After around 10 minutes, I see someone open the gate and walk in. I notice it's Caylen. I stand up nervously and walk down the bleachers.

"Hey thanks for meeting me here...", he says with the most adorable smile on his face.

"Sure thing....", I say not staring directly at him.

"I'm Justin", he says sticking his hand out to shake hands.

"Lia", I respond shaking his hand.

"I know this might be kinda awkward for you but I just wanted to get to know you better.."

"Oh yeah totally I'd love to get to know you too...", I respond.

I noticed he had a football in his hand so A. He's a football player.. oh crap the classic "players" and B. He probably came out to the field to practice...

"So do you play any sports?", he asks throwing the football up in the air and catching it behind his back.

* Embarrassed to say no... *

"Umm no I'm not really a sporty person...", I say hesitantly.

"Oh that's cool.. I play football if you couldn't tell already", he smirked.

He showed me a few tricks he could do and we just sat on the bleachers and talked about anything and everything possible. The best part..we were being ourselves and it was completely casual. We messed up and laughed about it. He was so sweet and fun to talk to that we eventually ended up exchanging numbers..

* Looking at my phone.. it's 6:15 pm.*

"I gotta get going..have to be home by dinner."

"Yeah sure thing.. are you being picked up?"

"Oh, no I'm just gonna walk home.. I live a few blocks down..", I respond as I begin walking out of the gate.

"Well why don't I drop you off?", he asks eagerly.

* Come on now.. who could say no to that. I know I definitely won't. *

"Are you sure?", I ask hoping he'll say yes.

"Yeah definitely... I can't leave you to walk home by yourself", he says looking down with a small smile.

I laughed. "Well that's very sweet of you."

* reaching my house *

"Thanks for a great evening Justin. It was a pleasure getting to know you." I say probably blushing really bad.

"Yeah, we should meet up again sometime... I had a great time with you Lia. I'll see you tomorrow.", he says as he fixes his snapback and turns to leave.

I close the door behind him just thinking of the way he said my name before he left. Could anyone be so perfect ?
