I knocked on Adam's door casually as I awaited an answer. Saturdays for us meant xbox live and junk food. Adam opened the door with a confused expression on his face, "Shit! I forgot."
"Busy today? It's alright man, another time," I said.
"Well actually, do you want to catch a movie tonight?" He said nervously leading me into the living room.
"Sure, but Adam, I certainly don't think I'm your type."
"Oh shut up, haha. Listen, my cousins going to be staying with us for a while. She should be getting here tonight, and Drew and I are going to take her out to a movie tonight. Something fun to balance out how hard today must be for her. I'd like you to come. It'd be good for her to know someone besides Drew and I, before she gets to Degrassi Monday. And, not to mention, you're nice. She needs more nice people around."
"Woah, kind of heavy. What's the story?"
"Her moms a mess and her step father is worse. But that's just a minor part. Things at her old school got way out of hands. She's way safer with us. Were happy to have her."
Before I could further inquire, the door bell shrilly rang out.
"She's here!" Said Drew happily as he race towards the door.
"He's always been protective of her in this brotherly way," Adam said in my ear as we headed toward the door.
Drew flung the door open and enfolded this bag laden girl in a giant hug.
"Welcome to your new home Clem!"
"Thanks!"
She definitely wasn't what I expected. Her pale skin was complimented with the most beautiful green eyes and soft pink lips. Dark Brown hair cascaded down and caressed her shoulders. She was wearing a faded Blue October band tee and ripped jeans.
She met eyes with me and shyly whispered, "Hi, I'm Clementine."
"Clementine, this is my friend Eli Goldsworthy."
"It's nice to meet you Clementine."
She blushed a deep pink and ducked her head as she slung a big duffle bag over her shoulder.
"I better get my stuff upstairs."
"At around 7, were going to take you to a movie. Does that sound okay?" Drew said gently.
"Oh um yeah, thank you guys," she said sweetly.
