Try to go home

"What about our date?" Zoe asks innocently, "Are we still doing it?"

You were about to answer with an obvious and resounding no but just as you turn to snap at the girl you see how nervous she looks. You guess this really did mean a lot to her. Probably because it was maybe her only chance of ever going on one for the rest of high school at least.

"Yeah... Just, uh, I gotta find some pants..." You awkwardly mumble, hands over the crotch of your white briefs, "Are you still staring?!"

"Just a little. They're cute..." She blushes despite being the one embarrassing you. This was so unfair! You're interrupted from your frantic thoughts by her following up with a question, "Um, why did we do that again?"

"E-Erm..." You can't really tell her you were ashamed of being seen with her. Can you? You try to put that thought to the back of your mind as to do so would just be cruel, "That place just seemed bad."

"Oh." Zoe seemingly didn't bother trying to call out your pathetic lie, "Well, what now? You have another idea for our date?"

You tried to think of the closest place where you could get some pants and cover yourself as that was the current most important objective. You do live nearby... but getting there would require cutting through the woods. That did mean there was a good chance you wouldn't be seen though.

"We'll go to my house." You declare, standing up before realising how much of your legs that revealed. Zoe gawked for a second, before blushing and looking away.

"I'm only in my socks. I don't want to walk." She stops the sentence there, awaiting a response as if she'd asked a question, "Well? Can you carry me?"

You didn't know what to say. The obvious answer was no, but it was her fault she couldn't go back in and get her shoes. And maybe you felt bad about completely ruining this date. You shrug reluctantly before picking her up and giving her a piggyback ride.... before moving towards the nearby forest towards your house.

Only suddenly realising that with your arms being used to carry her, you're more exposed than ever.
