Chapter 3 - Play-Date

~Len's POV~

"Ollie!" I waved my hand over at Oliver as I got my backpack.

"Ah." Oliver looked over at me, smiling. He made his way over through all the kids running out. "C'mon," he said, grabbing my hand, which made me blush.

"R-right...." I gulped and nodded as Oliver pulled me along. It was cute how short he was compared to most of the kids in the class, which I was just realizing now for some reason.

We headed out the door and waited as a long line of cars slowly made their way to the front, then proceeded to go back out of the line. It was a messy system, but no one complained.

"Oliver, which one's your car?" I asked, my arm stiff, as he was still holding my hand.

"That one," he replied, using his free hand to point at one of the cars by the farther end of the lot. It was a dark silver color, which was a bit lighter from the sunlight. But I'm guessing you don't care, right? Yeah.

We waited for a while as the cars slowly made their way around to the front, and finally, Oliver's car was in the front. His mother opened the door for him. "Oliver? Who's this?"

"Len," Oliver replied bluntly. "He wants to have a play-date."

I blushed slightly. I hadn't considered this a date, but I suppose it could be called one. If he'd like. I flinched. Wait a second, does that mean—?!

"Len." Oliver squeezed my hand, bringing me back to reality and blushing again.

"Huh?" I asked softly, looking at him in confusion.

He tilted his head up to his mother, who smiled at me. "Hello Len."

"H-hi...." I started to get shy. I had never been good with adults, but then again, I don't think any of us were.

"Alright, get in." Ollie's mother kindly let the two of us climb into her car and we road all the way to Oliver's house.

In the car, we talked for a while before I drifted off into thought. Now that I think about it, aren't I forgetting something...?
----------
"Len, you idiot!" Rin sniffled, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hand as she climbed into her father's car.
----------
Nope, nothing comes to mind. Must be my imagination.

"Oliver, what does your house look like?" I asked randomly, wondering the thought for no reason.

"Hmm? Well, it's a moderate size...." To be honest, I didn't know what 'moderate' meant, but I didn't want to seem stupid, so I just nodded.

Oliver's mother chuckled, seeming to sense my distress and said, "It's an okay size. Not too big, not too small."

"Oh," I mumbled, nodding. I gave her a look that said, "Thank you," and she smiled at me.

We sat in a sort of awkward silence until we reached Oliver's house. He was right, it wasn't too big; wasn't too small.

"Your house is nice," I said as we walked in the front door. I looked around. His house was open and had two floors. I'm guessing his room was on the second floor.

"Thanks," Oliver replied, nodding as he took his shoes off and placed them along the wall.

"Can I see your room?" I asked a bit too eager. I hope he didn't notice it....

"Sure." Thank God. "It's upstairs." Called it.

I followed him up the stairs and to his room, which was really neat and organized. His bed was in the corner, and I had to restrain myself from hopping right onto it.

"Your room is nice," I said quietly.

"Thanks," Oliver replied.

What's with this weird mood? Why is everything so awkward?

"If you want some snacks, I have some." Oliver held out a bag of graham crackers to me, which I took gratefully.

"Thank you." I opened the bag and ate some of the crackers. Since it was kindergarten, we didn't get any homework, so it got boring real fast.

"...Do you have any games?" I asked, tilting my head slightly.

"Yeah, I have a few board games and puzzles." Oliver nodded, smiling sweetly.

Yikes. I dunno how to play board games or do puzzles. This is going to be hard.

"Oh," I said, a bit disappointed. "Do you have toys?" I lit up at what he replied.

"Yeah, I have some in the bin over there." He pointed to the bin that sat against the end of his bed. It was an okay size and probably held a bunch of toys.

I ran over to the bin and dug through it for any toys I liked. I took out a small plush of a banana. Strange. Why would he have a plush banana?

"Ah," Oliver looked at the banana, seeming a bit too focused.

"Huh? Did you not want me to play with this?" I waved the banana you around a bit.

"No, that's not it." Oliver shook his head. "You can play with it." He walked over to his bed and played with James a bit—who he had let out once we got into his car.

"Cute," I mumbled softly, staring at Oliver. I took the banana plush and walked over by him. We didn't really play like normal kids would've, but it was a nice time. His mother was really nice too. She brought us snacks and juice boxes.

Once it was time for me to leave, Oliver's mother offered to drive me home. I nodded and agreed, since I didn't think anyone would've picked me up anyway.

"Thank you," I said, hopping into er car with Oliver following behind me.

"It's no problem at all! Your house isn't far away from what you told me anyway." Oliver's mom smiled and drove me to my house, which actually wasn't far away. She was right.

Another "Thank you," from me and I hopped out. Since Oliver's mother didn't want me to get hurt, she walked me out. Oliver came with as well. I don't understand how I'd get hurt. I was walking five feet. But I didn't say anything.

I knocked on the door, and there was the hated, disgusting creature. Also known as my sister, Rin.

"Len!" She shouted, lighting up. She grabbed my hand and tugged on it, pulling me inside.

I gagged and walked in, saying goodbye to Oliver and his mother. I had to put on an act as if I didn't hate my sister when they were there. Didn't want them hating me.

Once they were gone, I gave up the act and shoved Rin away. She whined.

"Hey! You left me all alone! I should get a while with you!" She bawled, pushing herself against me in an uncomfortable way.

"Ew, no." I pushed her away again.

"Fine!" She shouted, stomping her foot and running off.

Finally, some peace and quiet. I'm really tired.... I'd better get get to sleep so I won't be tired tomorrow. Wouldn't want to miss a glimpse of my adorable Ollie~!
