"Wow, I've always wanted a jeep wrangler," I said, "A royal blue one to be specific."

"Everyone always asks me why I got this car when I could have whatever car I wanted," he said with a warm smile, "I'm glad you like it."

I buckled myself in before giving him my address. For some reason, I felt like we actually had something in common. This rarely ever happened to me.

"I do have to ask you something though," I started.

"Shoot."

"Did you egg my car?"

"Why would I do that?" he asked.

"Because you lead all the school pranks."

"I am truly offended. First off, if it was my prank, I would take credit for it. Secondly, my pranks are big. Go big or go home baby! Lastly, this is the work of a first grader. I mean, egging someone's car, that's just pathetic," he finished.

"Okay then..." I said not knowing what to say.

"So you don't believe me?" he asked a bit disappointed.

"No I do... Why did you offer me a ride?"

Hunter was silent for a momment.

"Hey Mallory? Can I ask you something?" he mumbled.

"Uhuh"

"Well, I like someone... that you know."

"YOU LIKE ELLIE?" I scream.

"Shut up," he whispered covering my mouth, "They whole world doesn't need to know."

I swatted him, "Awwww you're just embarassment because you have a crush."

"D*mnit. Why did I tell you?" he scolded himself.

I sang, "Hunter likes Ellie, Hunter like Ellie!"

"Can you sto-"

"Hunter and Ellie sitting in a tree-"

"Are you always like this?" Hunter grumbled.

"Nope!" I said popping the 'p'.

"And how did you know it was Ellie?"

"One, because you just confirmed it. Two, I know a lot of people, but I just assumed it was one of my friends... or really my only friend. Otherwise, you would've asked someone else." I said.

"Dang, you're pretty smart," he murmured. "So, could you help me?"

"You have to book a time slot with my manager. I'm not available most times, but I might be able to squeeze you in sometime. I just need you to sign-"

"Mallory?"

"A few forms," I continued, "And pay a copay of $50-"

"MALLORY!?"

"WHAT?!"

"It's a yes or no question," he said impatiently.

"Why are you so impatient?" I asked.

"We've been sitting outside your apartment for 45 minutes," he said exasperated.

"Well I guess time goes by when youre having fun. Fine then. No copay. I'll squeeze you in after school tomorrow until 5:00 pm."

"And Mallory?"

"Yeah?"

"Gimme your keys."

"No way!"

"Relax, I'm not gonna do anything bad to it. Just wash it off, and I'll drive here for you."

"Really? How do I know this is not a trick?"

"Think of it as a... thank you for helping me out."

Hesitantly, I pulled out my keys. He saw I was unsure. He snatched the keys from me.

"C'mon, don't you trust me?"

Sorry for the short chapter! I hope it's a good book, and please please please give me feedback on my writing! Thanks!

Just a reminder: I update at least once every week. Mostly 2 to 3 times a week.
