Macy 31: Check

“So, you have the question yet?” Derrick asked the next day, Tuesday.

“I decided that I’m not going to ask you a question.” Macy told him.

“Why?” He looked extremely disappointed.

“Because…because I changed my mind about the game. It’s silly and stupid and we should have never started it.”

“Where did you get it from anyway?” Derrick asked.

“This book called The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, it’s so cool because this boy and girl…”

“They what?”

“Never mind. Let’s just call it quits.”

“Um if you want…I guess. I still want an answer.”

“You’re not getting one.” Macy laughed, “Can we skip the rest of the day? The meadow is calling my name.”

Derrick sighed, “Do you know how many times we’ve skipped? Our grades our gonna end up like Shane’s.” He chuckled at his joke.

“Fine Dad, we’ll stay in school.”

“Oh I didn’t say I didn’t want to go.” He grinned at her and Macy couldn’t help but put her arms arouund him in a hug.
Love: Check. Right? This was the love…
