she didnt look back to him, so he continued to run.
"hey" he said slowing down when he was almost caught up to her. they were almost to the parking lot.
she looked over her shoulder and smiled, but kept walking. "hey" she said back.
"uh..." he was unable to think of anything to say. "shouldnt you be in school?" oh gods, he thought, that was lame.

"possibly," she said seriously. "i know i wouldve remembered you."

"that i wouldve remembered you or that youve never seen me here before?"
"the latter i think."

"oh yeah," he shrugged. "me too. school and all."
