give it a try."
"Why?"
"Cause everyone does."
"I'm not like everyone."
"Tell Me about it." He muttered. "Okay, You don't have to Be My friend."
"Thanks." I passed Him and walked into My first calls.
For that day I hurried to My classes So I could get a seat in the back of the class. I grabbed a tray of food at lunch and sat down at a bench. A bench was grabbed and pulled over to Meat Mine, then both tables where full. I paused opening My bottle of soda. On My left was Calvin, and On My right was the guy that was complaining. Three girls sat across from us, and then Six, guys and girls sat on the other bench.They all began to talk not knowing I was about to maybe flip out. I glared at Calvin, Who looked over laughing and giving Me his goofy grin. For some reason, I pushed His arm and smiled. He pushed My arm back and grabbed one of My fries. After school i hurried to the parking Lot so I wouldn't Be in the I'm-getting-the-hell-out of here traffic. Like I said Before I'm a really lucky person. I was waiting in line for traffic to clear out. I had My head Resting on the Head rest looking out of the sun roof. Rain pounded down on the top of My car, in Big drops. I was so fascinated with how fast the weather changed I jumped when Calvin knocked on the door. He pointed at Me and laughed. I unlocked the car and He reached for the door. I locked it, pointing at Him and laughing. He held up His hand, and looked Up as thunder boomed, and lightning flashed through the once blue sky. This Time I unlocked the door and let him in.
"So you can have fun." He said setting His bag on the floor between His feet.
"I think of it as revenge for rushing Me with so many people." I inched the car forward.
"I deserve that. What are you doing? Take the back road."
"The what?"
"Go down that way." He pointed left.
"No. I've been waiting to get out for ten minuets."
"Just do it."
I turned left and drove through the parking lot.
"Now go Behind the school, and take the back road."
I took the back road and got back on the main road two cars ahead from the car I was behind.
"I know My way around Here. You don't grow up here not knowing your town. I've been friends with the guys at the table ever since I was born it seems. I can't shake them. I was going to go get you by myself so you didn't feel attacked but they insisted I let them Come. Are you Mad?"
"Does it matter really?"
"Of course it does. Friends don't stay mad at friends."
"I thought you Said I didn't have to Be friends with You."
"You don't, but I made up my mind to be friends with you."
"Is this the part where I say lucky Me?"
He gave Me another goofy grin, which had Me Smiling back. Who was Calvin?
"I know you don't want to Be friends-"
"Whoa-" I held up a hand, "I don't remember saying that."
"You sure as Hell Made a big deal about it." He pushed the back of My hand until it touched the wheel.
"I want to be your friend."
"You do?" His eyebrows and voice shot up.
"Yeah. I mean it's not like I'm going to shake you anytime."
"True. What are you listening to?"
"No don't-"
It was too late. No sunlight By Death cab for Cutie, went through My Ipod blasting around us.
"You Seem like the type to listen to this music."
I pushed the next button and Love Me like the world is ending played.
"I'm amazed."
"Good."
"Good?"
"Hate to be stereo typed."
"Oh. I like this song. Mind If I..."
"Oh, sure go for it."
He turned it up, "I really didn't expect you to listen to this."
"I thought you were turning it to listen to it."
"I did."
"Then why are you talking."
"I can do two things at the same time. A lot of people can." He looked ahead as I turned onto our street. "Let Me guess you can't?"
"I can do two things at the same time. It's not like I was born in the cave man days."
"Or Woman."
"You get My point Dork."
"Dork?" He said. "Again amazed."
"You where right you know."
"About what This time?"
I looked over at Him to see Him smiling, "Your so full of it." I laughed. "But the friends bring out the sides you never knew about yourself before." I turned the car off.
"See, I'm always right. Everyone knows that and soon you will too."
"I hope you think the rains going to die down, cause you have a long walk if it doesn't."
"Yeah I know it sucks." He looked out the window, and I reached into the back seat pulling out an umbrella.
He turned back to Me and Smiled.
"Thanks."
"What are friends for?"
"That's the spirit!" He got out and came to My side opening the door. He walked Me to the front porch. "So I'll just give you the umbrella tomorrow okay?"
"That's fine."
"wait id your Dad home?"
"No, Why?"
"You wan to come over for Wednesday's study hour?"
"Who's going to be there?"
"The usual's."
"As in the guys from the bench?"
"Yeah." He gave Me a half apologetic smile.
"I'll pass."
"Why? Don't Be a dork!"
I smiled, "My Dad could come home-"
"It's not like He'll ground you for being down the street. Come on. Just do it."
I looked down at the keys in My hand, down the street, at Calvin, then to My keys again as I shoved them into My pocket.
"Fine." I muttered. "I'll go., only if I get to go home if I want to."

"Deal!"He said, following after Me with the Umbrella.
"I have to warn you though, I'm not that good with the whole group of kids thing."
"Don't worry, neither are they."
"Finally!" The Whiner yelled, waving His hands, to make sure we didn't miss Him and the group of kids standing on the porch.
"That's Hollis. He whines. A lot. The blonde Guys are, Joe, Benny, and Owen." He pointed to the three blonde guys. "Then that's Gabe, Vic, and Dune. The three girls are Leah, Maddie, and Lisa. Sorry guys! We got caught in the Peace-I'm out- traffic."
"I saw you take the back road." Lisa said, annoyed.
"Yeah, you should Of been here already" Maddie said.
"I would of if someone didn't ditch Me." Calvin said, setting the umbrella aside, and unlocking the front door.
They all Pushed Calvin to the side and went inside. Calvin lost his footing and fell in me. He turned quickly and grabbed my arms.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, thanks."
"Dakota! I know You have My English class! I also know You have the notes! I know for a fact you'll let Me copy cause That's what friends do!" Leah yelled. "Please? I love you!"
I passed Calvin, and sat on my knees in front of the coffee table next to Hollis and Leah, I handed over the notes, which was reward with a thanks and a loud kiss on the cheek.
"Snack King has returned with a Vengeance!" Owen said, holding three bags of chips and walking from the kitchen.
"Along with his side kick!" Vic followed with three kinds of Dip.
"Followed by the annoyed hungry guy." Dune said.
Everyone looked at Him, stopping with Page turning and book opening. "I have Beer." He held up Two packs of six cans.
Everyone went back to there work, and Dune passed the beer cans around the table. I set Mine on the tabled, and opened a book. Besides the chips crunching, the cans popping open notice, and the occasional what did you get for number whatever, everyone was really studying. This was pretty good, cause I would have to cram to do home work.
"That's wrong." Gabe tapped My paper. "It's B, not C, although both are right, only one is really right."
"Thanks." I changed my answer. "I never took this class before."
"What are friends for?" He asked.
"Speaking of friends, What did you get from Number six?" Leash looked over Maddie's shoulder, who Moved Her note book so Leah could see better.
After the study group, everyone packed up and went home. The rain had died down, but Calvin, still insisted He walk Me home, Just so I got home safe.
"You never know, a moose can knock you right over!" He said a minuet earlier as I tried to tell Him to stay.
He dropped Me off at Home and then walked homed, head down, hands in pockets. No matter how hard I wanted to not believe it, I Dakota Mortin Had Made a true decent friend. If not a whole group.
~***~
By now I was used to seeing Carmen in the kitchen in the morning. Every morning She was there greeting me with a big smile, and large to go cup. I'd thank her, say By To Dad and go out to My car, where Calvin was already Leaning against the driver side door. Today was the same as yesterday. He opened My door and jacked My coffee. He wouldn't drink it all. He Knew I'd Kill Him. Literary. Seeing Carmen in the kitchen, talking to Dad, making Friends, and talking over Skype with Jason, saying Hi to Prestly the times he passed Jason's door, and not talking to My Mom, Seemed to work perfectly for Me. Everything Just fell into place. Almost as if I noticed there was a whole other world that went farther than the front steps of the house.
"No!" Leah and Maddie said.
"Yes! He just asked Me out on the spot! I was so excited, I won't lie." Lisa said.
"Josh is a guy Lisa had a huge crush on." Maddie told me.
"Had, Still does. Girl has it bad Dakota, I'm telling you." Leah said.
"They're lying." Lisa said.
"Actually I see the way you look at Him in Drama." I said.
"Ha!" Maddie and Leah said, as Lisa said, "Oh Thanks."
"So What's going on?" Calvin sat down with the rest of the guys.
"Girl talk." Leah said.
"Peace I'm out!" Dune jumped up, and every guy followed close Behind.
"Calvin!" I yelled, him turning. "Take Me With You!" I begged.
We waved a hand at Me and I grabbed my bag hurrying after Him.
The Guys took off the the field and Calvin took off to the right, Me following.
"The Library?" I asked.
"Just really quick. I have to get a couple of books for the report Owen and I are doing."
"Why isn't Owen Helping?"
"Owen's a bad ass artist, but He doesn't know a potato from a tomato."
He picked up three books scanning the back. HE walked down the rows as I slowly followed Him.
"Beside, I don't trust him with My grade." He added two books to his arms.
"Then Why be his partner?"
"He didn't have one, and He's doing the art apart of it. Do you mind?" He held up two books.
I took The books, and set them on My hip.
"What's the project for?"
"Lit class. Are you taking one?"
"Yeah, but I take it next class."
"Better stock Up on books while you can. It's on poets."
