Andie knew why Jenni was coming over. Only one thing could be so important you just had to come over that instant. BOYS! Jimmy must have asked her out. Thank g-d for call waiting or he would never had gotten through. Angie wondered how dad ever got mom to go out in the stone age before call waiting and giggled. The giggle turned into a loud laugh as she answered her question. BY QUILL PEN PROABLY!
Her mom had great lungs, if not Andie would never had heard her shouting above the laughter. Apparently Jenni was at the front door and coming up. This MUST be important, Jen lived 8 blocks away and she must have ran the whole 8 blocks to get here so quickly. Andie sat down on the side of the bed and listend as Jen ran up the stairs two at a time. Jen entered the room looking like a marathon runner.One that didn't train very well if you ask me. Andie just sat waiting for Jen to catch her breath while trying not to laugh. Now Andies mom had a sixth sense.for while Jen was still trying to regain her wind, she knocked on the door and handed them a pitcher of lemonaide with two tall glasses full of ice. It was just what the doctor ordered, for after a couple of sips jen looked a lot better.
" ok jenni,whats up" andie said while fluffing up a pillow to lean on. She new this was going to be a long talk if it was about Jimmy and she wanted to get comfy.
______________
Jenni took a long sip from her glass and sat down on the bed besides me. " well he finally called." she said with a smile. Inbetween sips of lemonaide I finally got the whole story out of her. It seems Jimmy got the hint that jenni liked him. Of couse it was his idea,and jen had to act surprised when he called, but us girls are used to that. Funny how boys have to think it's their idea and not ours. We laughed at all the hints she gave him. Dropping her books in front of his locker. Changing seats in class to sit next to him. Oh yeah,The time she wore that catsuit on holloween and acted like she was his personal pet! I still think that catsuit was way to tight, but she does have the body to carry it off. Jenni could have been a model.Unlike me she had really long legs. I sometimes wished I looked like her. Oh im not complaining, I look good playing vollyball on the beach and summer was just around the corner! It's just that sometimes I wish I could change a part here and there... but just sometimes.
Well from what jen said, it seems Jimmy likes her a lot. The dilema was that she wanted protection on there first date. I was going to offer her a condom but knew better, this was her way of asking me to double date with her. Now Jenni's not saving it for anyone special. She's actually shared it once or twice during this school term. she just dosn't want to offer up a buffet to Jimmy on their first date! So here I was, being asked to act like jr. mom and keep everything kosher. Grrr. . . the things you do for friends! I was just about to break up with Tim and be a free agent for the summer and here jen goes and asks me to double with her. Oh well, one more night of eating pizza with Tim was something I could handle.
After we finished hacking out all the details for the upcoming date, the talk sorta drifted to music. Jenni was saying she heard Hanson was going to be touring in september. She wanted me to drive to NYC with her and see them at the garden. Her learners permit would have given way to a real licence by then and she was all rev'd up and ready to go! I kinda said yes in a non binding sort of way but knew this was going to be a tough one to get out of. How could I tell her I already said yes to a backstage invitation from Taylor when they played the garden? I made a mental note that virul infections always worked well as a last minute excuse.
Now jenni may have made a mad dash from her house to mine, but she still remembered to bring the bootleg Cd of Hanson she found. How she finds these prereleased cd's is a mystery to me but i think that catsuit has something to do with it. When she got up to put the cd into my player I thought nothing of it until she took the cd that was in it out! I forgot Tays copy of the new unreleased Hanson Cd was in my player!
I didn't hear it but the phone was ringing. I don't think i would have heard the roof cave in with the music playing. I take that back, Jenni had cranked up that damn song so loud my ears were ringing! I did hear mom yell that the phone was for me. Like I said ,she has a great voice. I glanced at Jen and with ESP that all girls have she automatically turned the music down to a mild roar acceptable for unimportant phone calls.
" Hello?" I screamed into the phone.
In a voice I knew oh so well came a wild laugh and then the words " you do know that loud music can damage your hearing?" I decided to yank his chain a bit and yelled into the phone. "what did you say?" It didn't work. He was smarter than the average joe,or taylor as this case happened to be. I fell back on our rehearsed lines for when he calls and I have company. I called him the name of my most recent boyfriend. So in a sexy voice I purred "Hi Tim." Taylor responded with mild humor acting as if he was Tim by telling me he enjoyed our date last night and that he found the bra I had lost in the back seat of his car. I just shook my head and thought, "why me?"
Somehow over the song that Jenni decided to play over and over and over again I figured out what Tay was trying to tell me. He had a flight out of LA the day after tomorrow and couldn't wait till our summer fun started. It seems he had a photo shoot for one of those teen idol mags tomorrow and then his summer was free! We did the kissy kissy routine that Tim and I do before we hung up. Tay was sending me all the flight info in an E-mail so I could pick him up. He was going to get a limo but since I had my drivers license and pleaded for days untill he caved, now had the honor of picking him up. I was very pleased with myself, now if only i could get Jenni to lower that damn music!
