Feeling hot, I take off the sweater that Zayaan put on me as soon as we get out of the mosquitos way. He puts it back in his bag and we walk back towards Karim's car hand in hand.

"Why don't you wear your dress as a dress? Why are you wearing leggings underneath?" Zayaan asks me. He seems like he wants me to show my legs? He does not want me to cover my legs? Does he think I have nice legs or something. Is that why he wants me to show my legs. Its ironic because I never even shaved my legs before but he wants me to show my legs. Does he specifically like my legs and thinks they are worth showing off or does he just like girls showing off their legs in general. Does. he think I look more feminime and womanly with my legs showing? I feel like my legs are pretty curvy and fun sized looking. It makes me look ier.

"I feel uncomfortable showing my legs," I tell him. "I don't even shave my legs or remove the hair on it."

Before we get back, we stop at a little pond with water.

"I'm gonna do something you like" Zayaan says.

"What?"

He goes to the pond, puts his hands in there, and splashes the water on his face with a huge smile on his face and his teeth showing.

"Try it. It will feel good!" he says.

I don't know how I feel about my sunscreen coming off if I splash water in my face as my skin does not react well with the son.

I splash a little on my face and I do not see so much what the hype is about. I don't know why he is so cool with the water being on his face. Won't it wipe off his moisturizer? My face is already dry enough. I don't need this water to wash off my moisturizer and for my face to be even more dry. If the sunscreen is off, I will get darker too. I am already tan enough and don't feel like getting even more tan right now.

We walk some more until we are in a big field.

"Ugh these mosquitios bit me everywhere!" I complain. "It's so itchy" I say scratching my legs through the leggings.

Zayaan looks at me with an amused look on his face.

"What?" I ask him.

"You look crazy" he says. I  suddenly feel self conscious. I did not realize I looked crazy whille complaining and moving my hands around.

"And its hot, I think the water wiped my sunscreen off. I'm allergic to the sun". I continue.

"You're allergic to the sun?" Zayaan asks me, with a confused look.

"Yeah I get rashes. It's so hot" I exasperate waving my hands.

"You had a good time?" Zayaana asks.

"I don't like hiking that wasn't worth it. I don't wanna come back. There's too many mosquitos here" I complain to Zayaan.

"New Jersey has so much nature. New York is just full of buildings. Nothing else." he compares.

Zayaan says, "I'm getting so dark already in this sun. I am going to become black this Summer" loudly with such confidence. I am surprised that Zayaan was even conscous about that sort of stuff. Does he care if he gets darker in the Summer? He seems like he is even more  conscious about it than I am. I feel like I am getting to know more and more about him. I remember one time he mentioned that his eyes get darker in the Summer but lighter in Winter. I never noticed anything like that about my own eyes.

I can't remember but I feel like I might have said something about me getting darker too because of the Sun. I am hugging him while he says all this. I feel like his goofy side came out. Before I just saw him as this good looking guy who did not care about this stuff. But he seemed confident about becoming darker. Like he didn't really care. He knows he looks good either way.

Once we are done chatting, we walk back to the car where Karim is waiting for us.  While we walk back, Zayaan says, "Man I can't wait to take off my clothes and just be in my shorts when we get back. It is hot!"

"Yeah its so hot," I agree with him.

"You're going to take off your pants too when you get back to Karim's house right. And just chill with your legs free and showing since its hot?"

"No  I don't want anyone to see all the mosquito bites I got I say".

Karim has his headphones on and seems like he is zoned out, and enjoying himself when we get back. 

He seems caught off guard when we come back. I think Zayaan might have knocked on the car window or something to get his attention. I can not remember. Karim lets us in. I sit in the backseat as usual and Zayaan next to him.

"So how was it?"

I start laughing a little. I guess Karim can tell that something happened. "Ya'll made out I guess huh". Uh... A little more than that sir. Does he think that we are that innocent? Or does he think its not possible for us to do all that out in the open? But why did he stay in the car then if all we were gonna do is have a makeout session. Did Zayaan tell him that more was in store so he stayed back to give us privacy? Or does he just not like hiking?

Karim has a smile on his face as he looks at me. Then they start driving back to Karim's place.
