Turn down his offer

Your head is already spinning from this whole situation as it is. Doing dirty things with him...you don't think you could handle that right now. You politely explain yourself to him.

"Oh, no, that's cool," Jake says, laughing it off. "I get it. This is pretty weird."

Those skateboarders are probably gone by now. You tell Jake you should be getting home while it's still safe.

"Yeah, I hear ya," he replies. "So...could we maybe hang out some other time?"

Giving it some thought, you tell him that might be okay, but only if he keeps what happened tonight a secret between you two.

Jake makes a zipping motion over his lips. "Won't tell a soul," he assures you.

That's what you like to hear. Saying goodbye, you hastily flee from his patio and go back to the chain link gate. You don't hear the skateboards anymore, or anything else concerning for that matter. You open the gate, step through, and close it behind you. From there, it's a relatively uneventful journey back to your house. You streak through the night until you come to the wooden gate of your back yard. Closing it up this time as you pass through, you make your way back to the big tree.

What follows is a rough climb and some circus-like balancing on the limb that extends toward your balcony, ending with a jump onto the railing that even parkour practitioners would be impressed by. You slide open your balcony door and re-enter your room. You've made it.

You get dressed and flip your light on before flopping back onto your bed. Holy hell, what a night. That was a whole lot more than you bargained for. What are the odds that you would run into a guy like that in the middle of the night? Jake totally saw you naked. God, how embarrassing was that!

Well, he was nice about it at least. He did say he's going away for college in the fall, and you are, too, for that matter. But...maybe you can do some stuff together before then? Just for fun? That...would be fine, you suppose.

You spend the next few hours before school rolling around on your bed, fairly humiliated that someone saw you naked, but intrigued by what it might bring about.
