Playing in the Rain

So last week on Sunday night I went to 608 with Matt, a kid from my Music Theory class. Matt is a senior in high school but is dual enrolled at Asbury. Anyway, I asked Matt if he would give me a ride to church and he said yes, picked me up for church, and we went out to dinner and a girl's house afterwards.
At the girl's house (Kelsey), we hung out with a couple other kids, one of them being Sam. Sam is kind of an earthy kid, a theater/music kid. He went to Cornerstone Illinois '07, I went '06. Anywho, I was really impressed with Sam's knowledge of movies and music (he likes Bradley Hathaway, MuteMath, and has see Once and Science of Sleep), so I myspaced him. When Matt told me he wasn't going to church this Sunday and neither was Kelsey, I called Sam to ask if he was going - he was and said he would take me.
He picked me up this morning in his old, black volvo. His volvo has lots of bumper stickers on it -I love it. They say things like "give peace a chance" and "God is not a democrat or a republican." We went to church and his family and Kelsey and her family all met us there. We all went out for Zaxby's after church, his family bought me lunch. Then we went to his house and bounced on the trampoline for a bit; he tried to teach me how to do a front flip, though didn't succeed. We planned on going to Questapalooza, a festival thing at a nearby church, but he had homework, so he drove me back to Glide-Crawford. On our way back, it began to rain really hard, Sam said "I realy want to play in the rain." I replied, "I haven't played in the rain in ages." So he pulls over into a small parking lot next to a field of horses, we get out of the car, run barefoot to the field, and try to coax the horses over to us and then we petted them. It was really fun. He said he would call me when he finished his homework and that he would come pick me up for the festival, which ends at 10pm. I hope he calls soon.

However, last week when I met him, he was on the phone and, ask Kelsey explained, he was talking to his "kind-of girlfriend." On Facebook, he was listed as "in a relationship" until Monday, then "single" and a few days ago he took the down the whole thing and doesn't have a field for relationship status. Matt said the girl he was "kind of dating" lived in Michigan though. Hmmm, we shall see how things work out.
