Klutz

I call Izzie when I get home, but soon I have to get off the phone to study. "I should go, I still have to study for this trig test." I tell her. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, wait!" Izzie yells before I hang up. "What?" I ask. "I forgot to tell you what I heard about Penelope." I gasp. I forgot too. Izzie starts telling me this crazy story about our track teammate, and I forget about the time. Soon I'm telling her how I found out my mom cheated on my dad. "It was the day I found out about how I got into Clayton. I was so excited. I was on my way to Evan's, on my bike, and I saw them in a parking lot, kissing." "I'm so sorry." Izzie says. "I guess it's a good thing I don't know how to ride a bike. I'd probably ride by my mom doing all kinds of awful shit." She tells me. "Wait, wait, wait. You can't ride a bike? Well, that will not do." I say, smiling. "What do you mean? Stop scheming." She says. "I'll be at your house in 10." I tell her, and hang up. Now she doesn't have a chance to say no. I ride the bike that I will teach her with to her house. This is gonna be fun.

I knock on her door, and give her a kiss. She smiles. "What are you doing here, Newton?" "Look." I point at my bike. "Nope." Izzie says. I don't let her shut the door. I grab her hand and lead her to the bike. "You're gonna learn." I say. "Fine." She pouts, and gets on. After a minute she's able to kind of pedal, but starts to lose balance. I stand on the side of her, so she won't fall. "Steer!" "I am!" She replies, as she tries to concentrate. "Pedal!" "I'm trying!" "You suck at this." I say, laughing. "I'm learning!" She pedals a little faster, drifting away from me. "Look where you're going!" I yell. The bike topples over to the side, and she falls, but not hard. I run over to her. "Are you okay?" She pushes her helmet back up. "No. This was a terrible idea. Why do I need to learn how to ride a bike? I'm a klutz." She says. "Aww. Poor little klutz." I say, smiling. She laughs, and I pull her in to kiss me. I pull away after a short kiss, but she pulls me back in. It ends up turning into a full on make out session, that I never want to end. "You ready to try again?" I ask, after a minute of kissing. She nods. This ends in her falling, and us kissing again. Once she tries again, she gets pretty far. "Holy crap, you're doing it!" I yell. "Holy crap, I'm doing it!" She's adorable.
