Learning to Fly
I was in college again and had a job doing at home IT help like going to people's houses and fixing those computers and stuff. One house I went to contained multiple rooms of computers and servers. It was like the dude was running a server farm out of his house. Cables were everywhere. Junk was everywhere. It looked like the worst frat houses right after a party. The man, maybe in his 50s, was nice enough. He wanted to be young again. Everything he said and did was an attempt to be “hip”. It was a college town after all.

After some time working on his stuff, just normal maintenance stuff, I hear his main door swing open and slam closed. “Daddy, I’m home!” She says as she gallops upstairs. I can hear her head to the room I’m in.

“Oh, sorry! You’re not my dad! I thought he was here?” Her smile glistened and her eyes attracted. She was fucking hot.

Every boy's fantasy, including mine, was about to come true; I could feel it.

“I haven’t seen him for some time.” I murmur out.

“That’s ok, he won’t mind us in here anyway. He’s a cool dad.” She moved toward me and put her hand on the right side of my neck.

I’m the morning, I got up and headed straight to school. I didn’t shower, but tidied my hair as much as I could.

Class has started, and I jog in as everyone is finding their seats.

Low and behold, my crush is there, and so is the girl I slept with last night. He doesn’t know that I slept with her, but I do. Now I feel guilty. He’s too nice to be treated like another piece of meat. But, I don’t think anyone could have resisted the events of last night. He'd surely forgive me for that.

I decide to go up to him. As I’m walking, the girl sees me. With a sly eye, she waves at me. I wave back. We both just telepathically agreed that it was our little secret.

“Hey, Deke!” I say with excitement.
“Hey, Deke!” I say with excitement.
“ Hey, dude, how are you” god, his eyes are angelic. They’re the purest aqua, so much so that I think he could be Poseidon’s son.

“I’m good now that I’m talking to you” He doesn’t mind the flirting.

His face turns gray. “ listen though…”

He’s about to tell me he isn’t into me and he doesn’t want to be with me. I should have expected this. no boy this pretty could ever actually be everything you want.

"I’m moving back home. I’m dropping out today. I’m just not feeling it and I already know everything. I’m bored. There’s no point in being here." he pauses as I slowly bow my head.

“I’m sorry,” he said. “ I know you like me, so I just thought you should hear it from me first”

He knows I like him !?!? I don’t know what to do. We stood there for a few moments, just being in each other’s presence. The teacher was late, but it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. I feel a rush come to my heart, and then an idea into my head.

“I’ll come with you,” I said stoically.

His eyes lit up. “ really?”

“Yes. Absolutely. Anywhere with you is better than here.” I convince him.

He cups my cheeks in his hands and we connect stares.

“Should we go now?” Deke says.

“Yes, I can follow you on my motorcycle. It doesn’t matter how far; I have a full tank.” I say.

“OK. Let’s get the fuck out of here then!”

He grabs my hand and we gallop out together. I find my motorcycle and he found his Jeep. He pulls out and I follow him to the highway.

He sped up to get a few car lengths ahead, so I buckle down and speed up to catch him.

Then the world stopped as I hear the sound of my front tire exploding. I look up to see his Jeep still ahead of me, as I’m soaring through the sky. Time is slow now. I can see where I’ll land ahead of me, but it doesn’t matter.

I enjoyed my eagle-eyed view. The cars below me looked smaller, and as I was passing above them, I could see where I’ll land.

Hard pavement, on the shoulders of the highway.

At least I'll die happy.
