Josiah
“Why are you following me?” Josiah asked turning around to face those beautiful blue eyes
“I noticed you walking by and I thought you might want some company.” Kara said walking beside him
“I don’t really know where I’m going.”
Kara thought for a moment before grinning.
“What do you think about sneaking out with me?” Kara asked, his voice low
“Sneaking out? Won’t you get in trouble?” Josiah asked glancing around to see if anyone was around to hear them
“we’re only in trouble if we get caught. Besides I know a great way out and back in. So what do you say Rollins? You in?” Kara asked giving him a smirk that seemed to light up the hall
Distracted and almost like he was mesmerized Josiah nodded in agreement.
“Great. Let’s go while my parents are distracted.” Kara said, taking his hand.
The feel of Kara’s hand in his own made his heart flutter
‘No you shouldn’t feel like this.’ he thought to himself.
“Are you ok there? You got a bit tense.” Kara said, leading him down the hall.
“I just haven’t snuck out much, that's all.” josiah respoonded
Kara nodded and led him towards the exit. Surprisingly enough they made it out without getting caught. Somehow the setting sun made Kara look even more stunning.
The sun catching in his dark hair and making his pale skin glow.
“Come on let’s go!” Kara said looping his arm around Josiahs and beginning to walk, pulling the redhead along with him.
“Where are we going?”
“Wherever we want to really.”
“Can we go into town?”
“Sure I don’t leave town much anyway.” Kara said shrugging
With a small smile Josiah let Kara lead them there.
“Is there anything you want to do after we get food?” Kara asked
Josiah shrugged “I’ve never really thought about it much.”
“I see. Have you eaten anywhere over here?”
“Nope. I was never allowed out of the house.” Josiah said with a smile
“Why are you smiling?” Kara asked curiously
“I’m just happy I got out.”
“I see. Well then let's go find a place to eat.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
“Oo look at that place! There is a bunch of fro-yo!” Kara said excitedly
“Fro-Yo?” Josiah asked tilting his head
“It’s very similar to ice cream, cmon you’ll see what it is shortly!”
“What’s ice cream?”
“Your such an uncultured swine.” Kara said rolling his eyes
Josiah looked confused but shrugged
“I'll have to take you everywhere pretty soon. Do you even know what fun means?”
“Fun to me was hiding under my bed while my dad tried to find me.”
“I see you didn’t do anything else fun? And in what context do you mean hiding?”
“When he got drunk and was trying to beat me. Hiding from him was fun. Did your parents not do that?” Josiah asked
“No they did not. And that is a horrible definition of fun.” Kara said
“Is it?”
“Yes it is. Fun should never be hiding from being beaten.”
“It was fun for him. He liked the challenge.” Josiah said shrugging
“Fun for him not you. Well I hope you’ll get a different definition soon.” Kara said looking concerned for Josiah
Josiah looked down and nodded.
“Well come on then. Lets go get some tasty food!”
Kara said seemingly not running out of positivity.
“Sounds good.” Josiah said grinning
“What flavor are you getting?” Kara said pointing to the ice cream machines
“I dunno.”
“I see well, look around and make your choice. There are sample cups over there.”
“What do you think is good?”
“Get what you want Josiah, this is your choice.”
Josiah shrugged and picked the first thing that looked appealing
“You're a strange kid Josiah.”
“You just met me.”
“So? I can still judge.” Kara said
“Alright fine then why you gotta be so basic and choose vanilla?” Josiah asked, noticing how little he had in his little cup.
‘He might be feeling sick or he isn’t that hungry’ He thought
“Oh now that’s a low blow vanilla is good.” kara said playfully shoving him
“But it’s so basic. There are other great flavors and you go and choose vanilla.”
“Shush child.”
“Nah. Let me guess you're not going to get any topics with how basic you are?” Josiah said on a roll of ice cream roasting
“Wow who knew you could be such a little savage?”
“Me be a little savage? I’d never.” Josiah said looking at Kara to see that beautiful smile he has. His eyes seemed to be sparkling in the light.
“Come on I’ll pay for you.” Kara said waving him over to the register
“Ok. But really are you going to get toppings?”
“Nope. I’m as basic as you say.” Kara said grinning.
“I see. Who's the uncultured swine now Kara?” Josiah said, sticking his tongue out.
“Still you.” kara said playfully shoving him
“No you.” Josiah said shoving him back
After the two of them finished Kara decided that they should go to a zoo that is around there, he thought Josiah might like to see some animals. On the way there Josiah spotted someone that made him freeze up.
“I-Is there another way there?” Josiah stuttered gripping onto Kara
“Yes there is.” Kara said guiding him into the other direction
When they were far enough Kara asked “why did you want us to turn around?”
“i-I saw my dad…” he mumbled out
“Oh. Well it’s ok now he’s not anywhere close now. C'mon let’s go inside. Have you heard of a zoo?” Kara asked trying to lighten the mood
“They hold animals prisoner, right?”
“Not this one. They rescued animals and put them here, and once there better they are released back into the wild. That’s why I love this place so much.” Kara said taking Josiah’s arm and leading him through the entrance
“Sounds cool.”
“Yea we always used to come here when me and my siblings were younger. We always used to get a bunch of toys at the gift shop when we came here.” Kara said
“That’s cool. Your parents seem so nice.”
“I guess compared to yours they are. They aren’t the best though. Jesper and wylan seem like the best family I've seen so far.”
“Your dad kinda seems intense.”
“He definitely can be. He’s very strict with training. He got so done with me one time and he hit me in the head with his cane. He also is way way too overprotective.”
“That’s why you had to go to the doctor right?”
“Yea.”
Josiah looked away as the silence formed staring at some birds.
“Whoa look over there!” Kara said pointing to a peacock
“Woah It’s so cool!”
“Isn’t it?”
