I Wanna Feel Weightless
The Question.
Jack
I woke up the next morning, feeling as excited as ever to go out with Nikki today. I was going to ask her to be my date for the dance. She was most likely going to shut me down, because I don’t believe she feels the same feelings for me that I do for her. But, it’s worth a shot, right?
I talked to Alex last night before texting her and asking her if she wanted to go out. The reason I talked to him before her, was because I was really scared and he built my nerve up for me so that I would actually do it, and not chicken out like in our past few years at high school. He told me, that even if she did reject my offer to take her, that it wasn’t the end of the world and that things would be okay. I thought about it, and I realized that he was right.
By the time I was finished with my thoughts, I had already got my shower in, and was currently fixing my hair up. I was wearing black skinny jeans, a Slipknot shirt, and I was going to top my outfit off with a dark red beanie to match my dark red vans I was going to put on.
I finished up with my hair, making it look just perfect, even if I was going to have the beanie on. I wanted this time out with Nikki to be wonderful, and that meant my outfit had to be just as perfect as how I wanted this time out to be. I walked out of my bathroom, going straight into my room and sitting down on my bed, letting my legs hand over the side. I grabbed my shoes off the floor in front of me and slipped them onto my feet, after putting on a pair of socks I had sitting with them. I then stood up from my bed, reached over to my desk and grabbing my beanie off of it.
I checked the time on my phone and was that it was 12:36pm, meaning that if I left now, I would get to Nikki’s house no later than 12:55pm. So I left my room, jogged down the stairs, and went outside to the driveway and got in my car. Putting on my seatbelt and putting the key in, turning it and starting it up. As soon as my car turned on, Blink 182 was blasting from my speakers. I reached forward and turned it down a bit as I shook my head and chuckled at myself. I really needed to turn that down before I shut off my car.
I drove to Nikki’s house, arriving a couple minutes after 12:50pm. I honked my horn, waiting about thirty seconds before she opened the door and started walking over to my car with a smile on her face. I couldn’t help but smile as well, every time I see her, she just lights up my day. She opened my car door and hopped in, putting on her seatbelt and looked at me with a grin before speaking. “Good afternoon Mr. Barakat. What a lovely day it is to go out and go inside a building and stay there for the rest of the day.” She giggled and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Hello to you too, Nikki.” I pulled out of the driveway as we continued our random as hell conversation. I noticed how hyper she was right now, and it made me laugh every second we were spending together. But, I do wonder how much cups of coffee she had this morning.
We arrived at the movies about half an hour later, and we both got out of my car at the same time. I locked it up and walked over to the other side and met Nikki. “So, what type of movie are you in for today?” I asked as we walked thru the parking lot. It wasn’t packed, there was no more than ten cars here. Which means there wouldn’t be very many people in the theater, and that makes this day even better.
“I was thinking a horror movie. How about you?” She asked as she laced her arms around my left one as we walked. That was another thing she liked to do. Once we got closer, I noticed how much of a touchy kinda person she was, and she would always grab my hand, or lace our arms together as we walked. I wasn’t complaining, I loved it in fact.
“A horror movie sounds great.” I said as I opened the door to the building, letting Nikki go in before me. We both entered and started to walk over to the ticket counter but Nikki stopped our movements. “Something wrong?” I asked as I turned to look at her.
“How come you wanted to go out with me today? Like, you have so many other friends, but instead you choose me. Why?” I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I lifted up my arm she wasn’t using, and put my hand on the back of my neck, something I always did when I was nervous. I opened my eyes again and were met by hers. It was now or never.
“Look Nikki. Uh, I really like you, ya see. And the reason I asked you out today, was because I wanted to know if you would like to be my date to the school dance?” I was more nervous than ever right now, and you could see it the way my features were playing out in my body movements.
