Its been about a week since my mini breakdown and now Johnson won't leave me alone.

Not saying that's a bad thing, no. He's great company Id just like some peace and quiet while trying to take a shower without him coming in every 5 minutes to make sure I was okay.

Right now we are laying down in our sandbox. Talking about nothing really important.

Well, At Least that's what I thought.

"Are you doing anything this weekend?" Johnson asks me still looking at the sky.

"I don't think so, why?"

"Well, the fair is this weekend and I was wondering if it wanted to come with me?"

I sit up and so does he. "You never go to the fair. You say you think the rides aren't built correctly and you're scared they'll break or something." I say confused but proud I remembered that about him.

He looks down. "Well, you'll keep me safe, right?"

"W-What?"

I can hear the pure nervousness in my voice.

"Well I mean, we're best friends, you can't keep me safe?" He asks. His hand comes up to mine and he grabs it.

I stiffen up and My heart skips a beat then explodes in my chest.

"We're going as just friends right?" I ask just to make sure this isn't like a date, but there's something inside of me that wants it to be different.

It's Like I want to go on a date with him. To the fair, To keep him safe, To buy him candy, and win him prizes, and kiss him on the top of the Ferris wheel.

"Actually, I was thinking we might go as like," then he pauses.

"No, no, never mind that's stupid you want a girlfriend and I want a boyfriend you probably hate me now and I'm really sorry bu-"

I cut him off by attempting to kiss him. I mean I'm fourteen kissing a 13 year old boy. In our sandbox we met in the first day of kindergarten.

It's our sandbox for sure now.

The one we met in, the one we had our first fight in, the one we first held hands in, the one he asked me out on our first date in, and the one we had our first kiss in.

Our sandbox. Only ours. Nobody else's.
