Walk with Me

Saturday mornings were always best. Daisuke walked up to dorm 97. He had been looking for to this morning since Wednesday. He looked at his cell phone. But, Daisuke had to play it cool. He fixed up his hair. The boy looked up when the door opened. Katie stood on the other side.

“Hey, Daisuke!” she said. Her boyfriend smiled and waved.

“Hey,” he said. “How are you?”

“Great,” she said.

“Ready to go?” Daisuke asked.

“Yes!” his date said with a hop. Her boyfriend giggled.

“Let’s go,” he said. The couple headed down the hall. Katie turned to Daisuke.

“So, where are we going?” she asked. Her boyfriend shrugged.

“Just walking around,” he said. Katie looked so cute with her smile. Daisuke blushed. He never had enough money for big, lavish dates. But, she didn’t mind. Katie hugged on him. Daisuke’s eyes trailed upwards. When did she start wearing perfume?

The campus didn’t look so boring when walking with someone. Most of the places were closed for the weekend. But, Daisuke didn’t mind it. He didn’t really plan to do much anyway.

“Did you want to go anywhere?” he asked.

“Not really,” Katie said.

“Me neither,” the boy said. His girlfriend took hold of his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.

“I love you,” she said. “I don’t mind going anywhere just as long as it’s with you.” Daisuke’s cheeks turned bright red.

“Can I show you my favorite place off-campus?” he asked.

“Uh-huh,” she said.

“Have you been to the Pink Hyper Rabbit?”

“No.”

“Alright. You want to go there. Okay, I’ll take you there.”

“Hmmm.”

Daisuke led his girlfriend across the street to the bus station. Katie smile as they sat down on the bench.

“I love you,” she said. Daisuke patted her on the head.

“Yeah, I love you too,” he said.
