Chapter Thirteen

The next morning (Thursday)

“Morning Robin.” Erin said placing a plate of pancakes on the table.

“You shouldn’t be making breakfast.  You made dinner last night.”  Robin said sitting down at the table.

“You helped too, so technically I didn’t make it.  Anyway I wanted to cook breakfast, I love cooking and it’s been almost 6 years sense I did any real cooking so I think it’s time for me to catch up for lost time.” Erin joked.

“How did you get all this done so fast?  Jason and I didn’t hear you come in.”

“I came in very quietly.  I’m good at that.”

“You sure are.  Have you gotten a chance to talk to your father yet?”

“Yes, he call around 3 this morning.  It took about 2 hours but I finally got him to consent to me going to public school.  All I need to do is get Jason to sign the papers and I’m set,” Jason came down the stares.  “I hope you like pancakes.”  Erin said as he sat down next to Robin.

Erin told Jason about her plans to go to PC high.  Jason said he would take her to the school to get everything in order.  The day passed slowly.  Erin finished getting all her things together.  Her furniture had arrived on Tuesday but she had been so busy that she hadn’t had time to get everything until then.  She set up her computer lab in one room and her green room in the other.  Her green room was nothing more then a room full of plants.  There was on bench in the middle of the room, surrounded by plants, and nothing else.  It was like an indoor garden.  Sham had made some wise crack asking why types of plants they were, Erin hadn’t missed a beat in replying, “I grow my own hemp.”  If she had been able to see then she would have seen a very confused Sam.

 

The next day (Friday)

At Luke’s (in Luke’s and Jason’s office)

“Jason I have an idea how to help Erin get to know a few of the kids at school.”

“Huh?” Jason glanced up from the books.

“It’s really hard when you go to a new school and I was hoping I could introduce Erin to some of the kids so she knows some people on the first day.”

“Okay.”  Jason said not quite paying attention.

“Good, I’ll pick her up around 8.”  Lucky turned to leave.

“Wait a moment,” Jason said now paying attention.  “Why are you picking her up?”

“I’m going to take her to meet some of m friends from school so she knows someone other then me.”

“Where are you going to go?”

“Back to my house.  I’m having a party and we’re going to watch a few movies.”

“It’s fine with me, but you’ll have to ask her.”

“No prob.  Do you have her number?  I’ll call her right now.”  Jason wrote down Erin’s number on a piece of paper and gave it to Lucky.

“Hello?”  Erin voice came over the phone.

“Hi Erin?”

“Yes?”

“This is Lucky.  We met at my father’s club a few day ago.”  Lucky said hoping she remembered him.  He thought that he feel like a complete looser if she didn’t.

Erin stood speech less a moment not sure what to say.  Lucky Spencer had called her!  “Oh, hi Lucky!  What’s up?”  She asked hoping that she didn’t sound too excited.

“Nothing much.  Tonight a bunch of friends and I are going to have a movie party at my house and I was hoping you would like to come.”  Lucky asked casually.

“I’d love to come.  I haven’t seen a movie in a ling time.”

“I’ll pick you up around 8, okay?”

“Sure, do you know where I live?”

“At Jason’s?”  Lucky guessed.

“Close, right across the hall.”

“I’ll see you around 8 then.”

“Okay see you then.”

“Bye.”

“Bye Lucky.”  Erin hung up the phone and stood speechless, when everything finally sunk in Erin couldn’t help but smile, Lucky was going to pick her up and take her to his house for a party!

Lucky Hung up the phone.  “I’ll see you latter Jason I have to run some errins.”  Lucky left and walked home.  He wasn’t sure why but his heart hadn’t stop beating a mile a minute sense her call Erin.  All the way home he couldn’t get Erin out of his mind, there was something different about her.

“Hey Cowboy.  You’re mom and I are just about ready to leave all I have to do is put these bags in the car.  Don’t burn down the house while we’re gone.”  Luke picked up two bags and took them out to the car.

Laura came into the living room.  “Lucky, LueLue is staying at your grandmother’s house for the weekend so you have the house to yourself.  You and your friends have a good time tonight, okay.”  Laura kidded Luck on the forehead and followed her husband out the door.

Lucky watched his parents drive away.  The whole weekend with no parents and no little sister to watch.  He really wouldn’t have minded if he had to watch his sister.  He loved his little sister she was so sweet not to, even when she was in a bad mood she was sweet.  The phone rang and Lucky answered it.  “Hello?”

“Hey man.  We still on for tonight?”

“Yah, be here around 8:30.  Don’t come too early, I have to pick someone up.”

“Who?”  Devon asked.

“That new girl Erin.”

“Oh really?” Devon asked interested. “You aren’t going soft on me are you?  Let me get this straight.  Your folk are out of town, you’re having a party and there are going to be killers girls there, it’s just too good of and opportunity to pass up.”

“I want to you go easy on Erin.  She’s new to the aria and I don’t want any of my idiot friends freaking her out, okay?” Lucky said seriously.

“Yah man.  What ever you say.” Devon said, a little set back at Lucky’s protectiveness.

“Good see you at 8:30.”
