On the Run

I realized when running that running was always the answer for me. Whenever i was in trouble i was running away from it, and i needed to face it and get everything painful over with. I waited an hour. It'd give Sasha time to cool off and try to forget, then i went over and asked to talk to Sasha. She came out and looked like she was about to kill me. "Listen, Sasha, i can explain." i hoped i could. "Well start explaining so i can kill you faster." I looked at her "Okay, i understand that i shouldnt've kissed you, or run away from you, but look at it from my point of view. I like you, alot so i felt at the time kissing you was the best thing. Then when you looked that angry, well your real intimidating so you can't blame me for being scared and running away." "So why'd you come over right now?" "Well, i figured i'm done running away, i'll face the consiquences for what i've done." Then she punched me in the eye. "Your lucky thats all your getting." I was in some pain but not much. "So i guess this means we'll stay friends and nothing else?" "Yeah why not."
I walked home and put ice on my eye. It hurt that Sasha did that to me, mentally not physically. I mean i liked her alot, but it just wasn't going to happen. Then i realized something. It was real funny. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. I'd have to ask her about it. The next day on the bus i sat behind her. "So you might be mad at me but i got a question." "Okay ask away." "When i kissed you, why didn't you pull away, infact i think at some point you deepened it." I just smirked at her, i finally caught her. "I don't know why, but i do know if you say it like that to people, then i will give you more than that black eye." I was done laughin at her, but it was funny. I found Brandy at school and told her about it. She didn't find it as funny. I still laughed throughout the day though. At lunch i found Brandy and Allison at the table. "So new kid, how did you like kissin Sasha, that black eye must've been her sign of affection for you. Hahaha." Brandy just looked down at that. I might not be that bright but i know she wanted the subject changed so bad. "So the dance friday, you guys goin?" "Ya new kid but you aint goin with Sasha." She thought this was the funniest thing ever. "You goin Brandy?" "No, i don't think i want to." Allison went to dump her trash so i took my chance, which i was doing alot.
"Brandy will you go to the dance with me, just as friends?" I waited for her answer. "I just said i wasn't going." "I know, but it'd be more fun with a friend there, andi want to go. I think you'd have fun." "Okay i'll go." Then Allison sat down. "Well there goes the you and Sasha jokes, she just threatened with a black eye worse than yours, new kid." I had completley forgotten about Sasha, and was focused on Brandy. I liked her, and i just realized it. She knew i liked Sasha and wasted her time to listen to me. She was cool and all that, while Sasha was just kinda abusive. I would take this one slow and mabey get the courage to ask her out. It'd take time, which i had plenty of. So the week went by and and friday came faster than i expected. I actually looked halfway decent. I was going to atleast ask her for a dance. I got to the playground and found Allison and Brandy. Allison had on her usual pants, converse, and hoodie, but the hoodie was hiding the nice shirt her mom made her wear. Brandy was wearing a skirt and nice shirt, obviously she wanted to look nice to. I went up to them but then Allison went to find Sasha. Today i actually didn't wear the hat i stole and combed my hair down. "You look nice Brandy." "Thanks you do too."
The classes went by boring, except industrial tech. It was my last day with Sasha as a partner. She hit me during class when we finished our lights we made. "That was for telling Brandy about the kiss. I actually was taking this crap, i couldn't belive it. Class let out, and i hit Sasha hard. "I'm not taking your crap anymore, but we can settle it later." The rest of the classes went by, then came the dance. It was fun. I got Brandy laughing. Then Wake me up when September ends by Green Day came on. I asked Brandy for a dance. She was hesitant but agreed. We were lost in the music. The music just carried us. I looked deep into her eyes. She looked into mine, then looked away. "I don't want to do anything i will regret." Then she just left. So there i was, standing in the middle of the dance floor, watching her leave me.
