The rest of the day went by great. But then again, why wouldn�t it have? I had Jesse as my helper. It was awesome to see him throw in those little flirty lines to me as he talked. But as for the note�I didn�t want to risk reading it till I got home. I figured that if it was something disappointing then I wouldn�t know about it till a little later�leaving me with at least a few more hours of happiness. Bus ride home>>* Me- �See ya Gabby�this is my stop.� Gabby- �yup, okay�I�ll call ya later.��(we had exchanged phone #s during study hall) *I step off the bus and start walking down the street to my house�* *When I get into the house I am distracted from reading Jesse�s note by mom�who was eagerly waiting to hear how my day had went* My mom-�Sooo�? How was it? Were ure teachers nice? Did u make ne new friends? Spot ne cute boys? Me-�uh�yes, yes, and perhaps�� **and with that I ran up to my room (which was not in the bathroom) so that she couldn�t question me any further** As I plunged onto my bed and unfolded the note, I was so anxious to see what it said, that I was nearly at the point of almost peeing my pants�(don�t worry I didn�t though). It read: Val, Meet me if u can at Greg�s pizza parlor at 6. Jesse 1-555-555-4232 Me-�oh jeez, oh jeez, oh jeez!!!�..EEEeeeeeek! This is soooooooo good! Omg!

He wants to meet me at Greg�s pizza parlor!!!...Wherever that it is�� Gabby-�OooOOOooo�I know that place�� *gasp* Me-�What what???� Gabby-�OOOooooOOOO�can I come too? Chris might be there!!!�Also, u know, u might need sum support there from someone who knows the boy�eh-hem�� Me-�Pleassse do come, I don�t know what to do�.� Gabby-�definitely, I�m there�� Me-�Hey, do u think that u could come over my house too? I�m clueless on what to wear�� Gabby- �sure�um, is a half an hour good 4 u?� Me-�uh-huh�.cya then�� Gabby-�bye.� Wait a sec�what was I worried 4 newayz? I was acting childish. I had been on dates b4, y was this one ne different? He was just some regular 14yr old boy. Plus, he hadn�t even really said if this was a date or not. Maybe he had just invited me to go to a local hangout so that I could meet some new ppl and not feel so out of place. Perhaps he didn�t like me in the way that I liked him. He might just be a nice guy who decided to be kind and help the new girl out. All that I knew was that thinking about it made things a TON more confusing. I decided to turn on the radio and do some homework before Gabby came over. A little while later I heard my mom yell up to me that someone was at the door. Knowing that this was Gabby, I quickly got up, turned off the radio and (haha) casually walked down the stairs. Me- �Hey there.� As I said this I noticed that Gabby was carrying 4 very large bags in her arms. Gabby-�Long time no see, huh?� Me- *turning to my mom* �Mom, this is Gabby. We met today at school. Is it okay if we go upstairs and stuff?� Mom- *happy w/ the idea that I had made a new friend* �Sure hunny�Hello Gabrielle, I�m Mrs. Johnson.� Gabby-*now almost toppling over from the weight of the bags* �Nice to meet ya, Mrs. J.� Me- �uh, let me take some of those for ya�um, mom we�re gonna go now, okay?� Mom- �alright then�� *We quickly rush up the stairs* Me-*dropping some of the bags down* �What the heck did u bring newayz??? This stuff is heavy!� Gabby-*pulling out some cosmetics* �oh, just um, EVERYTHING!� Me- *wide eyed* �now that I can see�� *laughs* Gabby- �Well, u know, I figured that since u seemed to really wanna make this date a success�and well maybe because of the little, ity bity factor that CHRIS TROUSDALE could possibly be there�*takes a breath*�I thought that we should at least look good.� Me-�um, yeah, about that�I was thinking about it. Do u really think that Jesse meant for this to be a date?� Gabby-�Well, OF COURSE he did!�� *stops to think about it*�.�and well, if in the slightest chance that he didn�t�that�s too bad�Cause a date is what he�s gonna get!� And with that she began unloading and tossing her selections of body lotions, clothes, jewelry, make-up�(u get the general idea) all around the room. We ended up spending a long time just sitting and talking. But by the time that we had to go we had basically put together every variation of outfits and hair do�s that we thought possible. I ended up wearing Gabby�s blue, silky tank top, w/ my blue, hooded-zip up sweater, and some dressy pants. Gabby had on a similar ensemble w/ a red skirt, etc. etc�we had actually done a decent job w/ ourselves�and we looked pretty acceptable, so we thought� However, I suddenly realized one little catch: my mom. I had completely forgotten to tell her about my plans. Seeing no other easy way out of it, we figured that we had to tell her. We decided that it wouldn�t make a good first impression if Gabby and I snuck out the first time that she came over. So�we briefly explained to her that we were going to Greg�s pizza parlor (which we were) and that it would just be us and 2 other friends of Gabby�s. We concluded w/ the fact that we wouldn�t be out too late and that there would be no drugs or alcohol there. (Not that we were planning on doing ne of that.) After hearing our narrative though, she wasn�t completely convinced. (%of course�lol%) Although I was a lil embarrassed, I knew not to push it�so, my mom ended up dropping us off there. Haha, was I ever happy to get out of that car! I had never known how many stupid things I had done when I was little. Newayz, my mom said that she thought that the restaurant looked �pleasant� and �decent� enough to pass her expectations, so she left and said that she�d be back at around nine-fifteen. (Considering that we had school the next day.) As we made our way inside, (doing the �sexy walk� that we had practiced) I felt a big jolt of excitement shoot up my back. I really didn�t know how this night was gonna turn out, but somehow I felt ready for it newayz. |
