Peas and Carrots Chapter 6 "Okay, time to call Lacey and Brittany. Boy will they be surprised!" I picked up the phone and dialed Brittany's number. It rang 4 times before her brother Justin picked up the phone. "Hello?" he asked. "Hi, Justin, is Brittany there?" "No, she's over at Lacey's. Want me to tell her you called?" he replied. "That's okay, I was gonna call Laceyt anyway. Thanks." "No problem, bye." "Bye," I said, and hung up. "Okay, and now time to call Lacey." I dialed her number. 3 rigns, then, "Hello?" It was Lacey's mom. "Hi, this is Andrea, is Lacey there?" "Yeah, she is, let me get her," she replied. "Okay, thanks," I said, and waited. I heard some footsteps, and then, "Lacey! Phone call! It's Andrea!" After that, "Coming!" More footsteps. "Hello?" she asked. "Hey Lace, is Brittany there? I want to tell you two something," I said. "Yeah, let me get her." "Okay, hurry though," I replied. "Sure," then, "BRITTANY! Andrea wants to tell us something! Hurry up!" "Hey! You mind taking the reciever away from you mought when you yell?!" I said. "Now I"m deaf in this ear. Hang on, let me put the reciever on my other ear, I can still hear out of it." "Sorry," she said, embarrased, but laughing. "That's okay. Where's Brittany? Tell her to hurry." "She's coming, I can hear her washing her hands. She was in the bathroom and I thought for a while she had fallen in the toilet!" I laughed as I at back down on my bed, still wondering what to wear. "Okay, she's here," Lacey said. "What did you want to tell us?" "First put your phone on speaker, I want you to both hear this," I said. "K, it's on speaker," Lacey replied. "Can you both hear me?" "Yes," said Brittany and Lacey in unison. "Okay, good," I said, "now time for the good news." I waited to see what they were going to say. "Well? What is it? And would you hurry? Buffy's coming on! It's the one where Spike loos REALLY good." I heard Brittany say impatiently. "I have that one recorded, don't spaz out," Lacey said. "Oh really? could I borrow it? Do you have the one with-" "You GUYS!" I yelled. "Don't you want to hear my news?" "Hehe, oh yeah," replied Lacey. "Sorry about that. What did you want to say?" "Thank you. Anyway, remember that Backstreet Boys CD that you got?" I asked. "Yeah, what about it?" asked Lacey. "Well, you know the blond one on the cover? Nick Carter?" "Yeah?" "Well, I was best friends with hime when we were little. We used to play together all the time, and I tole my mom about it, and now we're going to be reunited as friends. Pretty cool, eh?" I told them in one breath. "I'm having a little touble bellieving you, but I dunno, maybe you're telling the truth," replied Brittany. "Well, if you ARE telling the truth, we want pictures of this. You and Nick together as friends," said Lacey. "Okay, fine. I'll bring you pictures. Too bad you dohn't believe me now. But I guess that's your choice," I said, kinda mad that they didn't believe me. "Well, that's all the news I have for you 2. We're leaving at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday if you'd like to meet me at the airport to bid me fare well, and if not, I"ll see you in in a couple weeks, pictures ready to show." I said. "Okay, well, I might be able to make it, but I don't know if I want to get up that early and drive out to the airport," Lacey said. I knew Brittany couldn't come because she was going to visit some family for a couple days, and they left on Wednesday. "Okay then, talk to you later. Bye," I said and hung up the phone. "Oh, I can't believe that they think I'm making this all up!" I said as I headed downstairs to get something to eat. |
