"It actually worked," Betty-Ann said in disbelief
"Did you ever doubt me?" I asked
"Of course not," she said as she slowly got up from the desk she was hiding behind
"Mhmm," I said rolling my eyes
"I think we should get going," she said
"Fine," I said before we took up our bags
"Wait," she said mas we almost made it to the door
"What is it?" I asked
"I need something first," she said moving over to Mrs. Jones draw after opening it she took out a phone before leaning closer to Debby's face
"We're gonna laugh about this someday Debby," she said snapping a photo with the sleeping Mrs. Jones
"Now we can go" she smiled
"So where to?" I asked after we walked out of the classroom
"Don't know. But I could go for a walk in the park" she said
"Okay," I said
"I'll drive," she said
"You have a car?" I asked
"Not necessarily," he said as we walked to the parking lot and saw a motorcycle
"A bike?" I said surprised
"Yep. Let's go" she said getting on the bike putting on a helmet
"What about my car?" I asked
"We can come back for it," she said
"Okay," I said as she handed me the helmet
"Thanks," I said getting on and putting on the helmet
"Hold on tight genius," she said as I wrapped my hands around her slender waist and she drove away.
We drove to the park and parked the bike. Half an hour of walking passed and we were sitting on the bench feeding the birds while taking a few photos
"So how have been?"
"Busy" she laughed
"Is that why I haven't seen you these past three years?" I asked
"To be fair, many people haven't. The person who's seen me the most would probably be Debby"
"Yeah, you seem surprisingly close to her. How did you manage to pull that miracle off?"
"Nothing special I fell in with the wrong crowd and Debby was the one that helped me out of it. The real surprise is how you and little miss badass broke up"
"It can't be that much of a shock" I sighed
"Oh, it was. I had never thought I would see the day. Our entire middle school thought you two would grow old together" she chuckled
"Well sorry to disappoint" I joked
"So why did you break up? Word on the street is she dumped you for Nick" she said
"Nothing like that happened. We just had a disagreement"
"If you say so" she shrugged
"I'm out of bread," she said
"Okay, so where should we go now?" I asked
"I don't know about you but I'm getting a little hungry"
"Okay, so where should we go?" I asked
"I don't really care. You decide" she said
"Okay come with me," I said as we walked towards the bike and she went on
"No-no-no. It's my turn to drive" I said
"Do you know how to ride a bike?" she asked
"No, but I want to try," I said
"I don't think that's such a good idea," she said as I smirked
"Come on I'm a genius. How hard could it be to ride a bike?" I said
"Okay," she said unconvinced as she got off the bike
"Alrighty," I said getting on the bike and she stood at the side
"Well, aren't you getting on?" I asked
"Oh, I will. After you turn it on"
"Hmm no problem," I said looking at the controls
"First turn the key," I said turning the key
"Then?" she asked smugly
"Um... then I...." I said stuck
"Need some help?" she asked
"Just with this," I said
"Put the bike in Neutral," she said
"Um?" I said unsure how to do that so I looked at her. She shook her head while smiling before grabbing the handle and doing it herself. After she was done a green N lit up
"Alright, then I...?" I asked
"Press the kill switch to the start position"
"The kill switch?" I asked confused
"The red switch on your right," she said
"Oh," I said flipping the switch
"Now pull the clutch and press the start button which is the button under your right handle" she instructed. I soon got the bike started and smiled brightly
"Told you I could do it," I said before she rolled her eyes
"Okay let's go," I said
"No"
"Why not?" I asked
"Not until you ride around the block"
"Why?"
"I'm not letting an inexperienced person like you ride me. You're lucky I'm even letting you ride my bike. Against my better judgment I might add" she said before I sighed in agreement.
"Okay here goes," I said before moving off a little too fast and slamming my head on the controls before quickly pressing the brake
"You okay?" she laughed
"I'm fine," I said rubbing my aching head
"Just let me do this one more time," I said before trying and failing many times until I was finally able to ride around the park and back
"So how'd I do?" I asked
"Not bad. Now we can get going" she said getting on the bike and wrapping her arms around me and pressing herself on me. It was so sudden that I jumped a bit almost turning over the bike
"Are you okay?" she asked smirking
"I'm fine. Let's get going" I said my face a deep shade of crimson
"Okay" she smiled before I drove off
We drove to my mom's bakery and I got off, after turning off the bike, and then helping her off
"Trudy's bakery. I love the cookies and cakes here" she said
"Really maybe I can get my mom to give you the recipe," I said
"Your mom's owns Trudy's"
"Yeah I thought her name being Trudy would give it away" I chuckled
"Well, I didn't know your mom's first name is Trudy," she said
"That's probably because you haven't met my mom," I said about to walk in
