Thanks for all the nice reviews!
I don't have anything else to say so I'll just let you guys read the next chapter now.
My heart nearly stopped when I heard her voice.
"Hello?"
"Hi mm, it's me, Alex from the s-"
"I know who you are" she said interrupting me. I could hear the smile in her voice.
"Ok that's good" that's good? On which planet do I live to say something so stupid?
"I think it's called earth" I heard her giggle.
I closed my eyes, realizing what I had just thought..well said.
"I totally said that out loud didn't I ?"
"Yeah you did" she laughed.
I really need to learn not to embarrass myself anymore I thought to myself.
"That was a little embarrassing no wait, it was a lot embarrassing, so I'm just gonna move on" I said trying to overplay my embarrassment.
"Are you trying to overplay your embarrassment?" she asked seeing right through me.
"Yes?" I said sheepishly.
"Don't, you're kind of cute when you stutter and sound so nervous."
I smiled to myself.
She thinks I'm cute yesssss... calm down Alex, she probably didn't mean it that way.
"So mm why I'm calling...I wanted to know if you know, wanted to maybe hang out sometime? You don't have to if you don't want to, I'd be ok with that, I mean it's your decision so do you? We could go to the park or the movies or..or..wherever you want to go..I'll go wherever you want to..." I rambled.
As soon as I stopped talking I got a response.
"I'd like to hang out with you! The movies sound good to me..so tomorrow?" she asked with a little uncertainty in her voice.
"Tomorrow sounds good to me, meet me at 6 pm in front of the movie theater?"
"Ok tomorrow at 6 in front of the movie theater." she said in her normal happy voice, repeating what I had said.
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow..bye" I smiled into the phone.
"Bye" she said and hung up.
I held the phone to my ear just a little bit longer.
When I hung up my heart still wasn't back to it's normal pace.
I leaned my back against the counter and smiled to myself. Then, out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the clock.
6:58 pm.
"Oh shit" I cursed.
Harper was would be here in an hour.
Oh man, I still have to clean up the kitchen, take a shower, order a pizza, change into my pj's and get my stuff downstairs.. how am I going to manage that?
It'll take at least 15 minutes to clean up the kitchen... unless...
I looked around, there were no customers, I walked into the kitchen and looked through the opening in the wall, still no customers in sight.
I pulled my wand from my boot and looked around one more time. I waved it in the air and casted a spell.
Within a few seconds the kitchen was cleaned.
"Ok, now of to the shower" I said to myself.
Thirty minutes later I was clean and changed into my pj's.
I took my cover and my sleeping bag downstairs and ordered the pizza.
Twenty minutes later Harper arrived.
She, too, changed into her pj's and ten minutes later the pizza finally arrived.
We made ourselves comfortable in front of the TV watching wrong turn.
"So" Harper started "Alex did you call Mitchie?" she said not taking her eyes from the screen.
"Yes I did" I said. She waited for a few seconds and when she realized that I wasn't going to say anything else she started again.
"Andddd...?" She took her eyes off of the screen and look at me instead.
I turned to look at her too.
"We'll go to the movies tomorrow" I said with a smile that probably reached my eyes, I couldn't exactly tell you tell, because you know, I couldn't see myself.
"Ohhh Alex you've got a date" she smiled and wrapped her arms around me.
"It's not a date, it's hang out time"I told her as soon as she released me.
"That's a start! Maybe it'll turn to more" Harper said smiling.
"Yeah...maybe it will" I said more to myself than to Harper, turning my eyes back to what was happening on the screen.
We fell asleep during the second movie I guess.
The next morning I woke up to the smell of fresh made pancakes and scribbled eggs.
I let my head drop back to my pillow and... wait, my pillow? I didn't bring that downstairs with me yesterday...
I looked around and realized that I was in my bedroom that's weird, I fell asleep on the couch.. but whatever
I wanted to go back to sleep, but the sunlight shone through the gap between my curtains
blinding me.
I looked down and saw Harper laying in her sleeping bag next to my bed on the floor.
I stood up carefully, trying not to step on her on my way to the bathroom.
In the bathroom I looked at my reflection in the mirror.
I turned the water on and splashed some of it in my face.
I turned my face back to the mirror again and saw how the water drops slid down my face.
The things that happen yesterday came back to my mind...Mitchie came back to my mind.
I couldn't help but imagine how our dat- mhm hang out time would be today.
I turned on the shower and undressed myself.
The water felt warm on my skin, and right at this moment I felt on top of the world, like I got the chance to get everything I want, and right now Mitchie was all I wanted..and maybe a little more pocket money.
When I stepped inside my room twenty minutes later Harper was gone.
I got dressed and went down to the kitchen.
"Morning" I said fully awake.
Harper already sat at the table with a plate full of scribbled eggs and pancakes I served myself and seated myself next to her.
"Morning" Harper mumbled, she obviously wasn't as awake as I was.
"Good morning honey" my mother said cheerfully.
I looked at the clock that hung above the fridge.
It read 10.45 am.
"Alex? I know that Harper's over and everything and that you are really busy today, but Dad, needs your help at the sub-station today. Would you please take the morning shift?"
"Yeah sure, why not. Buuuut in reward I'd like to stay out late today." I said while trying to make the eggs stay on my fork.
"Mm I'm not sure Alex, are you going on a date?" she asked.
"No, I'm just hanging out with a new friend" who will hopefully turn into more I added in my head.
When I saw my moms uncertain look I added
"Who is a girl".
I saw her face visibly relax.
"Oh ok,where are you going?"
"We'll meet at 6 at the movie theater, I don't know how long the film is, but I guess I'll be home at around 11" I answered knowing that the "when will you be home" question would have been her next.
"I think I can convince your dad to let you stay out late today." she said smiling.
"Thanks mom"
"No problem, now eat, dad really needs you, there are a few tourist groups coming by here today..."
I finished eating and thirty minutes later said my goodbyes to Harper.
It was actually really stressful at the sub-station.
There were 4 groups of tourists and other customers too!
I hadn't really got time to look on the clock, so when I did I saw that it read 4:24 pm.
The movie theater was about 15 minutes away so I decided to serve one last customer and then go and take a shower...the second time today.
I was out of the shower about 35 minutes later.
I looked on my alarm: 5:00 pm.
I turned to my closet.
It took me about 15 minutes of trying on everything in it before I decided for my casual look.
I put on a black the summer set t-shirt with colored splashes that read: "I'll set you free...
sexually, mentally, physically, emotionally" on the front and on the back: " I'll be like your medicine"
black skinny jeans and purple convers.
It was warm outside so all I put on a purple hoodie with a zipper that I left open.
By the time I was ready it was already 5:35 pm.
I took my wallet shoved it in my pants pocket and grabbed my handy and keys on the way out.
I walked fast, because I didn't want to be late on our first date – hang out time dammit!
I reached the movie theater on time, and still had 10 minutes left.
Ok wow, I've never walked that fast in my entire life.
I looked around, but I didn't see Mitchie anywhere.
Then I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I turned around and saw her standing in front of me smiling like someone had just bought her a new bike.
So that's it for today, and I don't know how soon I'll be able to update, because I only write when I'm at school, but hey, yesterday I wrote 5 and a halt sites, but I'm have a math test tomorrow and it takes up two hours so I won't be writing a whole lot tomorrow, but I think that the next chapter should be up by Monday or at least Thursday.
I'll try writing at home lol
Oh and you know I like REVIEWS!
