| Emotional? I didn�t even know Macky knew that word. And what did he mean she looked at me different? Good different? I had to smile, I hadn�t even noticed. Whats up with that? Why do I keep loosing my thoughts today? �So are you going to see her again?� Mac asked. �I don�t know.� I said quietly. �I hope so.� I stood up and started walking to the door. �Thanks again Macky.� He smiled, �Thanks for the ice cream.� And I left. I walked down the hall a little ways, past the bathroom that connected Mackenzie�s room and mine, and into my room, the last one at the end of the hall. Taylor, who�s room was across the hall from mine, had his stereo blasted, I couldn�t even make out what the music was, must be someone new. I shut the door to muffle the sound, and fell onto my bed. I picked up the phone on my nightstand and smiled. Isaac, Taylor and I had each gotten our own phone lines in our room for Christmas. We had each gotten laptops the year before and didn�t know what to ask for this year so we each went for the phone lines. Pressing the ON button, I started to dial. ~ Candal ~ I ran to pick up the phone in my room. Smiling, I had just got it about five or six months ago-Chirstmas, and I used it ten times a day. I think my parents like the fact that I have my own line considering now when theirs rings it�s actually for them. �Hello?� I asked. �Hey, Its me.� A guys voice on the other end answered. �What are you doing tonight? I was thinking maybe we could go catch a movie or something, you know, maybe call it a date.� �Mike how many times do I have to tell you�we�re over! There�s nothing with us anymore. Get it through your head.� I said, trying to stay calm and not shout. �Candy come on, you know you want me still,� Mike argued. �NO! I don�t want you anymore, and DON�T call me Candy, I hate when you call me that!� I yelled. �Don�t call me anymore or I�ll put a block on your phone number!� I shouted, hanging up the phone. What a jerk. Why did I ever go out with him, oh my god, how could I have been so dumb to go out with him? Why cant he just leave me alone? �Mom, I�m going out for a run ok?� I asked, in hopes of blowing off some steam. �Candal its almost eleven o�clock.� My mom said worried. �I know Mom,� I smiled back, �See you tomorrow I guess,� I said, stepping out the door.�Its ten-thirty Mom,� I laughed. �I�ll be fine, I promise.� I said giving her a hug. �Ok�bring your key so I can lock the doors, you�re brother�s already sleeping and your father and I are about ready to go to bed.� �No problem,� I said, pulling on my shoes. �Oh, and Candal, don�t forget, your dad and I are leaving for that New York thing with your dads sales company this weekend, that�s in two days. Mason�s staying at Randy Dell�s house but he might come home a few times in the week.� �I know, I know Mom, I haven�t forgotten, I cant wait, I mean, I�m sure you guys�ll have lots of fun, and don�t worry, I�ll be good.� �I know you will, I just worry.� She smiled. �I know Mom,� I smiled back, �See you tomorrow I guess,� I said, stepping out the door. I didn�t have the slightest idea as to where I wanted to jog, or where I was going. I could take the trail in the woods but for some reason at night, it just seemed too much like that Blair Witch movie from a couple of years ago. So I stayed on the street, and decided to run a little through Asher Grove, the part of town where all the rich (er) people live. I usually run there anyway, and its always nice. I live in Wood Grove, the part of town where the, I guess you could say �second rich� people live. The difference: Wood Grove has, you guessed it-woods. There isn�t really much else different except for the people that live there. I guess the people in Wood Grove are at least a little more laid back, while the people in Asher Grove are a bit snotty. |
