What was I suppose to do? So I just grabbed a pen and went to writing song lyrics. After hours of being locked inside I came up with a song. It sounded badass and I had to show frank. So the next day at school frank and I were walking in the hall ways before I had to go to cindy's class. " frank, I think I came up with a really good song. Its about loving someone and not knowing what to do. It kind of sounds like a mix of green day and blink 182." "oh that's cool, well at the next practice you're gonna have to play it for me dude." As we talked about the song, Cindy had overheard it. She had wondered if sam wrote it about her. After cindy's class she walked up to sam and asked , "hey, I was wondering do you give bass or guitar lessons?" "yea I would give lessons to you. They'd be free of course, and I could teach you a lot of things. Crap that sounded really perverted." before I knew it I was blushing and I caught cindy giggling. "well sam, what do you say every Friday afternoon? Oh say from 4 to 7:30 sound good?" I just nodded and waved. In the back of my mind it sounded like a date. Once I got home I rushed to my room, got my bass ready and of course jumped in the shower. Hell I didn't want to smell bad at our first "bass lesson." So I got all my gear and packed it up in my car. I couldn't help blast my sound system on the way there. I have a nice 2002 gmc dark blue truck with a killer sound system. The parentals bought it for me once I turned 16. So there I am, with my badass sunglasses I got from pac sun, listening to green day as loud as I can. I was wearing a sum 41 concert shirt that was a little tee thing, and some tight blue jeans and a trucker hat. Once I pulled up to her house I realized how damn nervous I was. So I pulled it together and walked up to her house and rang the door. A few seconds later I see her with a cute white top on that says no doubt, and some cute blue jeans also. " Hey sam, you look nice. Hey I was wondering if we could do something else tonight because my hands are killing me and I don't feel like playing the bass. I didn't want to call and cancel because I though that was rude. So how bout we go see a movie and get something to eat?" " Yea sure dude, that's cool. What movie do you want to see?" " well lets go inside and check out the times and everything and we'll see from there." So we both walked inside and as we were going inside she stood in the door way so that I had to brush by her. As I did I brushed against her and I could tell something happened. We just stood there and locked our eyes. She leaned into my but right then the phone rang . "damnit, I'm sorry let me get this." I stood there totally confused and disappointed that we didn't kiss. So I just forgot about it and walked into the room where she was. She had said it was a friend of hers who had called. So we decided on a movie and it started at 5:30. During the whole movie I kept thinking bout what could happen. During the middle of the movie Cindy had put her arm on top of mine. Without looking at each other we both entwined our fingers. I had to smile at that. Was I the happiest person ever. Man it felt good to be me. After the movie let out we decided to go some fast food and take a drive. We went to a cleared out area bout 10 miles from the city limits. It was nice out there. So we sat in the bed of the truck and just talked. We talked so late that I had to call my mom saying I was spending the night at a friends. I was off the hook. So while we sat there we got on the subject of dating. I had told her bout previous boyfriends and she told me bout hers. We then talked about what we wanted in the future. We ended up having a lot of things in common. " Sam, I know you're only 16, but you are a very bright person and you have a lot of personality." "Cindy thanks. I don't know what to say. When I'm around you I just feel like myself. I feel like everyday will be great every though I know it wont. I guess I'm trying to say it that I love you." After I said that we both just stared at each other. " Sam, you are the first person who has said that and meant it. I feel the same about you. I love you too." With that she leaned into me and kisses me. We Sat there kissing all night. We pretty much camped out in the back of my truck making out. We cuddled and just talked all night. That night I'll never forget. Once the sun came up I drove her home and we had made plans to meet up again that following day.
