“Here, I also got dessert,” Stephen said, tossing Mandy a Tootsie-Roll Pop.

“Hey purple is my favorite!” Mandy said, reveling in this small fact.

“I’m good like that,” Stephen said proudly. He reached for her hand and they headed towards the exit. It was dark out now. The moonlight reflected its white face on the water, lending an almost appealing feel to Shortsands Beach. “I had fun tonight,” Stephen said breaking the silence.

“Me too,” Mandy said, giving Stephen’s hand a squeeze. He squeezed back and the grasshoppers began going wild again. “We should do it again sometime.”

“You don’t have to say that,” Stephen said.

“What do you mean? I’m serious.”

“I just mean don’t feel bad if it doesn’t happen. Girls have said stuff like that to me before, but somehow the sometime part never happens. Besides, Ally told me you went out with Lucas, so I just mean I understand if you…”

“I went out with Lucas once,” Mandy cut Stephen off. “And believe me, that was nothing compared to this! Lucas is nice, but I like you,” Mandy said squeezing Stephen’s hand again, but this time for emphasis.

“Well, shucks, you’re making me blush,” Stephen teased, but Mandy could see he actually was turning a rather pretty shade of pink.

“Finally, someone else besides me!” Mandy exclaimed. They were at her car now. “Well, I guess I’ll see you at school Monday then?”

“Yeah, actually want me to pick you up? You know, so you’re not lost and alone on your first day?” Stephen poked Mandy in the ribs.

“Um, yeah, that’d be great.” Mandy felt secretly relieved at not having the whole school know she drove a boat around in her spare time.

“7:30 ok?”

“Sounds good,” Mandy nodded. She looked at Stephen and he seemed hesitant for a brief second, and then his face was suddenly serious again. He leaned in towards Mandy and kissed her on her cheek, but not because she turned her head. He was just being a gentleman. The grasshoppers in Mandy’s stomach felt like they were having a long jump contest. “Bye,” she managed to squeak out as she slipped in the door to her car. Stephen waved, his ever present smile back on his face. He stepped back and watched as Mandy drove away towards home. The grasshoppers flung themselves endlessly around, showing their approval. Mandy sighed from satisfaction and for once felt warm and happy in York.
