I went to the window and looked out. The boy standing on the ground was handsome, he looked familiar, but I couldn't place a name or where I'd seen him before.

I opened the window and popped my head out, "Can I help you?"

"Yeah, I'm Kyle, I sit in front of you in Algebra," That's right, he's the smart guy in math! "Uh... I'm friends with Julie. She gave me your address."

"Oh right," I had no idea Julie knew him! "Just let me come down stairs, meet me at the front door."

I opened the door and just like I asked, he was standing there. "Come on in," I greeted. "What can I do for you?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go grab a bite to eat?" he asked in an adorable tone, he had really nice hair too, which was always a plus.

"Uh, sure, I was actually just thinking about eating," I said with a smile. "Let's go." After writing a note for my parents, I threw on some shoes, grabbed my wallet and we were out the door.

"So, how did you come upon trying to break my window at 6:30 in the evening?" I asked as we walked. According to him, the place we were eating at - Black Rabbit - was only a couple of blocks away, so we decided to walk it.

He blushed, his cheeks turning pink. "Well, I, uh, see you at school, but you never talk to me, and I thought it'd be nice if we could and you know, eat."

I grinned. "Eating's good."

He laughed nervously, "Yeah, very good."

"Are we meeting anybody there?" I asked.

"Uh... No. I thought it would be nicer if it was just the two of us... I could call a few people though, if you want."

"Nah, it's cool," I said smiling to myself at how adorable this guy was. "I was just wondering."

We walked in silence for a bit before I asked, "So how is this place, the Black Rabbit right?"

"Uh yeah, it's great. One of my favorite restaurants."

"So what kind of resturaunt is it?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, is it like Italian food or a bar and grill or fast food, you know, what type of restaurant is it?"

"Um, it's kinda a 21 and under club, but at the back there's a place like a restaurant, that like serves, like, fries and steak and stuff." he turned even pinker.

My curiousity rose as I surveyed Kyle's apparel: Abercrombie blue striped button up and faded demin jeans. His blonde hair and big, bright, blue eyes had added into the adorable appeal. I wouldn't have thought that he'd go clubbing, much less take me there for dinner. He looked the type to ask a girl out for study sessions at the zoo.

"Oh, cool," I said. He was at least six or seven inches taller than me, about Aaron's height, and he had a nice build.

I must've been staring because he turned bright red when he noticed where my attetion was, my body responded by turning my cheeks their own shade of pink.

We came up to a building, "This is it," he said. "Do you want to dance or eat first?"

"Uh, let's dance," I smiled at him and, for once, he didn't blush, he just smiled back.

Leading me into the building with a warm hand, we flashed our ID's to the bouncer, and started to dance to a remix of "Graduation Day" by Head Automatica, which was playing on full blast.

We danced for a while. Every type of song imaginable was played, fast, slow, and everything in between. My cell rang a few times, but I ignored it. It's rude to answer your phone when you're dancing with someone...isn't it?

It felt strange, dancing with somebody I'd barely even spoken too, but it felt kind of nice.

But like most nice stuff and people, it had to end.

I really had to go pee.

"Hey," I shouted to be heard above "Shake Ya Tailfeather", "I gotta go use the bathroom!"

He nodded, pointing in the direction of my right. "I'll go get a table for food!" He pointed to the back, where I guess the restaurant was located.

As I was sitting in the bathroom stall...

'My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
'

My cell phone rang again, it's vibrating nearly making it fall out of my pants into the toilet bowl. God forbid that would happen.

"Hello?" I mumbled gruffly.

"Amy? Where are you, I've been looking for you." Aaron's voice showed a mixture of anxiety and disapproval.

"Um, I'm out with a friend," I said.

"Julie or Gina?" he asked.

"Actually, it's this one guy from my Algebra class."

"A...guy?" he asked.

"Yeah a guy! His name's Kyle, he stopped by my house earlier and asked if I wanted to grab a bite at this place called the Black Rabbit-"

"You went to the Black Rabbit with another guy?!"

The accusing tone in his voice was starting to tick me off. "Yeah, and is there anything wrong with that?"

Silence on the other end, then, "Amy. I thought we were .. you know."

"We are! Kyle's just a friend, okay?"

"Yeah, okay. I gotta go... I'll talk to you later."

I went up to the sink to wash my hands and said, "Fine! So do I, Kyle's probably waiting for me to get back so we can order." I snapped my phone shut, pissed off that Aaron would jump to conclusions like that.

I went to the resturaunt and found Kyle sitting alone in a booth. I thought about sitting next to him, but decided that I'd stick to across.

"What wrong?" he asked when he saw the aggrivation in my face.

"Nothing, I just got an aggravating phone call."

"Who from?"

"Um, my boyfriend." I decided on going right out and being almost. Leading him on was not going to turn out good.
