Let's go out

It was summer, and we were 12-years-old, we used to go out and sit under a tree with all our friends, she, her younger cousin, and other friends around our age.

We used to have a blast, we used to go around the place and climb walls and do other, normal 12-year-old stuff. And at that time hide n seek was the only game we all loved, because it was very hot, and we wanted to play something with not much running, even though it was too tiresome.

"Hey, come this way, I know a good spot to hide," she said, as she pulled me to a wall and we hid behind it.

The wall was about 3 or 4 feet tall, and we had to squat so that the catcher won't find us, and since we wanted to win the game, we thought about hiding until the catcher gave up.

The heat gave us no mercy, it was hot and cramped, but we still wouldn't give up, so to kill the time, we thought about playing a game.

"Let's play truth or dare" she said whispering into my ears, so that no one could hear us.

"You go first, truth or dare," I asked her.

"Umm... Truth!" she answered.

I was urged to ask her, if she had a crush or if she liked me, but I was too afraid of getting rejected by her and never see her again.

"Ok, who is the most attractive person in our group?" I asked, hesitantly

"Hmm.... Good question. I never saw anyone like that, but since you are my age I guess you," she answered.

Her answer was very thought put, like she analyzed the answer and told me. I was jumping with joy in my heart, but outside I played it off cool.

"Oh, nice! Okay my turn!"

"Oh, truth or dare?"

"I guess I'll go for dare,"

"Oh, bold! Okay I dare you to go to anyone, and say, 'let's go out together'" she said, as she softly chuckled.

My heart was pounding at this time, I didn't know what to do, should I ask her? I mean she never said who!

Questions filled my mind.

"Anyone?" I asked

"Yup! Anyone!" she answered

My heart was speaking, so was my mind. Am I making a mistake? Am I going to regret this? She did say anyone, so let's give it a go! My heart wanted to tell her how I felt, but my mind told a different story.

"Let's go out" I said, winking at her and then chuckled.

"Dude! I didn't mean me!! Hahaha!" she giggled.

"Aww man! But it's going to be awkward if I ask others, pls just take it!" I said.

"Okay, I guess that was too much even for me, fine I'll take it! Let's go out!" she said jokingly.

I knew she was joking but, for some reason my heart couldn't control it's excitement! I was so happy to hear that from her.

"Sure!" I smiled and continued our game.

This went on for three sets before the catcher gave up, and we won, we were the only one who won the game, and in the next round her brother took her, and she hide with him.

Well, what can I say, guess we are going out in our game and no one knows what we played, only her and me, as we were giggling by ourselves.
