“Diapers!” he thought the word in his head, the feelings had begun to take control of him. As he turned to head inside and up to his room, he was stopped.
“Hello?” said the girl.
He turned to his left and looked down into the driveway. There, on the other side of the driveway, at the edge of her lawn stood the beautiful red haired girl.
“Sorry…I didn’t mean to startle you” she said.
“Who…umm me…oh no, it’s ok, you didn’t….I was just…umm…Hi.” He replied, fumbling through his words. “God what an idiot I must sound like” he thought to himself.
The girl smiled, she knew she had flustered him. This was her intention; she wanted him to be nervous; she could feel his emotions and wanted to experience every single one of them.
“I’m the girl next door” She said.
“I’m the boy next door” he replied. “Nice to meet you” he said.
