Chapter 7
I was laying asleep on my bed, when the phone
rang. "Uhh," I moaned and answered the phone. "Hello?"
It was Nickolas. "Hey babe. Did I wake you up?" I looked
at the clock. "No scruffy. I'm usually awake at 6:23 in
the morning." He got really quiet. "I'm sorry. Can me
and Sar hang out with you today?" I sighed. "Did you go
home last night?" He kinda got angry "Yes I did. Now can
we hang out with you?" I layed back. "Me and Alex were
going to go to that carnival." "Well, we can double
date?" He sounded desperate to do something. "Let me ask
Alex. He'll be over about 9. Why don't you come over
now? I'll ask him when he gets here." "Great!" He said
happily. "I'll call Sarah and be right over." "Can't
wait" I replied sarcastically. I hung up and looked at
the ceiling. A few minutes later, Sarah and Nickolas
came through my window. We all said hi and watched TV.
About 8:30 Alex called. "Sounds like a party over
there." I laughed. "Not really. They wanna hang with us.
Is it ok?" He answered, "Fine with me." I smiled and
joked "Good, we can ditch them later on." Sarah grabbed
the phone and told me to get dressed. I went to my
bathroom/closet complex and washed my face. I got out my
blue and red crop top and put that on. Then I had to
wear my short shorts! So I put those on. I put on some
body mist Sarah had gotten me. I brushed my hair and
walked out to where Nickolas and Sarah were. Nickolas
whistled and Sarah hit him. He laughed. "You look nice.
All that for Alex?" Sarah laughed. Good thing she was
off the phone or I'd have to kill Nickolas for that
remark. "Sure is" I giggled. The doorbell rang and we
all ran downstairs. I opened the door and greeted Alex.
I told my parents bye and we all left. Alex drove so I
knew he had to be at least 16. I can't believe I still
don't know how old he is! Just then Nickolas shouted
from the backseat. "So, how old are you?" I know he's
gonna ask him questions. He doesn't want me getting with
a bad guy. Nickolas watches out for me, he's like my big
brother. "I'm turning 17 in 2 months." '2 months' I
thought 'He's only 16 months older than me.' Nickolas
asked him questions about what he does and his job and
stuff like that. Nickolas is a great buddy to have. He's
finding all this stuff out just for me! He's draining
it outta Alex! Sarah asked him about Florida since me
and her are going there in the summer. So she wanted to
get the scoop on what to expect. I, on the other hand,
just sat quietly in the front seat, with my face turned
out the window listening to what they were saying.
