The winter dance is quickly approaching, and honestly I can't even think straight.
Lately Taylor has been hanging off of me like an extra ear. He means well, and he makes me happy but today I just have to tell him that I need space.
As fiddle with my locker I feel someone grab my elbow.
Its Derrick yay. *note the sarcasm.
" Hey Derrick. what do you want?"
He grins.
" I want you to skip school with me."
He says it so casually that it's kinda freaking me out.
" Dude we 're in school."
" So, ah that's right mrs. Super Nerd, can't miss a period or two."
I glare, him smirking the entire time.
" I am not a nerd, I can be quite badass if I wanna be."
he keels over in laughter.
" you or so not badass!"
I cross my arms over my chest.
" Well then I guess I can't skip with you."
" Come on let's go."

The chilly autumn wind nips at us as we make our way across the full parking lot.
I wrap my leather jacket,and scarf around me a little tighter.
Derrick stops at a shiny brand new truck, which I haven't ever seen at the house. I'll have to ask him about it later.
The ride is anything but quiet.
We laugh, until our stomachs hurt, well mine anyway.
We pull up at a small little Coffee shop,that is really in the middle of nowhere.
" This place has the best cofee, and the most amazing pizza!" He exclaims as the the small bell above the door jingles.
" I laugh, that sounds good, I haven't eaten all day."
He gives me a concerned look.
" You aren't anorexic, are you?"
I bust out laughing.
" This proves how little you know me. and yah no! Like seriously I love food and-"
I collapse into the booth with another round of giggles.
" Okay I get it." he says pretending to be mad, which only makes me laugh some more.
The food comes, and as Derrick promised it is completely delicious, I seriously had to hold back from eating it all. In the end I ended up finishing derricks pizza.
" Wow, I never met a girl that ate like that before."
" Ha, thanks, I guess."
Derrick smiles. "no seriously, all the girls that I know are like, that is SO FATTENING!! Like OH MY GOD I might not have a thigh gap!!"
That was the best thing ever.
" Dude I know right! I think that's why I have no girl friends, because I actually eat."
The waitress brings the check and slips her number in his plate. she wiggles her fingers, glares at me, then leaves.
Is it wrong to be jealous?
I mean we are step siblings.
Taylor.
You have taylor.
I push the thought away as he stands to pay.
" I want to split the bill." I suggest.
He gives me a strange look.
" Um, no. I am paying."
I roll my eyes, boys and their pride.
" Come on just let me, I have money."
" No. usually when a guy takes a girl out, he pays like the gentleman he is." He hands over a twenty to the cashier, and I frown.
" next time I am at least going to pay for my food."
He grins as we walk back to the truck.
" There will be a next time?" His voice fill will hopefulness.
" Easy tiger, now take me home!"
He glares as I demandingly put my feet on the dash board.
I ended up falling asleep on the way home, I had loads of fun today. I think I might want to do it again.
