Route 2

You spend the next few days coming and going from Mark's house, spending some time with your parents and a few classmates. You feel all jittery, not sure if you should ask Ethan what you want to do, you know you should, he told you it was okay.

Oh fuck it.

You pedal towards Mark's house, meeting Ethan at the front yard, wattering the flowers.

"Hello blondie" He says shutting down the hose "How you doing?"

"Fine" You say with a nervous smile "Can I talk to you about... something?"

"Sure, Markie is out" He says letting you in "We would have some privacy"
