Answer:

Oranges by Gary Soto

The speaker was having his first date with a girl he admired, because it was "the first time, I walked with a girl."

He later decided to buy the girl some chocolate to celebrate their date.  But, what he enjoyed most was their holding each other's hand while walking, "and led her down the street."

The setting was a walk down the street in December, under a frosty weather with "Frost cracking beneath my steps."

Explanation:

Oranges is a short poem written by Gary Soto and first published in 1985.  It chronicled the experiences of a teenager meeting his first date at that tender age of 12.  The twelve-year-old boy went to the girl's house on a cold December morning, bringing two oranges in his pocket to share with her.

However, when they entered a drugstore, the girl chose some chocolate which costs more than he could afford, potentially embarrassing the boy.  All the same, he had to pay for it, as boys do when they are in the presence of the opposite sex.
