I opened up my locker only to find that it was completely empty of everything other than two pictures hanging on the door. I looked at them smiling. The one was of me and my little sister Ella at the beach last summer in the ocean and the other was of me and my mom sitting beside each other on our couch. I still couldn't believe that this was the last day of my junior year. Next year I would be on top. The big dog on campus. And no I don't really use that phrase…ever. I took the pictures down when I heard someone yell "Yo Max!" from down the hall. I looked to find my friend Iggy walking up the hall towards my locker. Iggy isn't his real name. It's actually Ian but we all just call him Iggy.
"Hey Ig." I said giving him a fist bump. He is also a junior but way smarter then me. He is what I call a "nerd in disguise". The "in disguise" part is given because he looks nothing like a nerd. His strawberry blond hair hung in his icy blue eyes. He was also pretty fit and good looking, but he was like a brother to me so I would never like him in that way. Leaning up against the locker beside mine he said, "Can you believe that this is our last summer vacation of high school. Next year were gonna be seniors Max!!" I smiled at him shutting my locker and stuffing the pictures in my black backpack.
"I know isn't it absolutely crazy. In one year we will be graduating and then comes college." College was the last thing that I wanted to think about though.
"So are you ready to go." he asked me pulling out his car keys from his pocket.
"Yes," I said atheistically. "and can we drive Ella to since she is my little sis and only a freshman, well sophomore now I guess?" Wow my little sister is growing up.
"Of course! I would do anything for that little squirt." Iggy said with a huge smile on his face. In a hushed undertone I said "Hmm, I wonder why?" For as long as I've known Iggy he has had a crush on Ella and vice versa. They just never did anything about it, but I think that that is going to change this summer with some matchmaking. So we walked outside into the hot summer sun me just going to reach for my cell phone to call Ella when I spotted her at the bottom of the steps talking to a few of her friends.
"Hey Ella!" Iggy called before I had the chance to. She quickly turned her head to us. "You want a ride home." She shook her head a smile forming on her face and then yelled back, "Thanks Iggy!" I glanced back to Iggy and the goofy smile he wore. We walked down the steps to her, as she was hugging her friends goodbye.
"Bye Max." Ella's best friend Monique said while waving. I smiled at her and waved back yelling. "Bye Nudge, I 'm sure I'll see you tomorrow or the next day." Nudge is what we call Monique. I'm not sure why but we just do. I'm surprised we don't call her "motor mouth" because that girl can talk.
"So Ell, how was your last day of school?" I asked putting my arm around her shoulder.
"It was great. All I did all day was walk around the school, listen to my ipod, text, and eat lunch. It was the best day ever." Why was I surprised that there was no school related work in that whole entire sentence.
"Ella Martinez you are growing up." I said pulling her closer to my side. I love my little sister to death. She might only be my half sister but I love her all the same. When we reached Iggy's car I got in the front seat and Ella slid into the back leaning up in between the two front seats. Iggy started the car and within the matter of a minute we were on the road.
"So do you guys wanna hang out later?" Iggy asked. "Go to the mall or something?" He said glancing between the both of us with his blue eyes I knew Ella loved so much. "I'm up for it. How about you Ell?" She shook her head. "Sounds like fun." Then within five minutes we were in front of mine and Ella's house.
"Thanks for the ride Ig." Ella said placing a hand on his shoulder and then getting out of the car.
"Yeah thanks Iggy. We'll see you tonight." I said while jumping out of the car.
"No problem guys. See you tonight." He said before pulling away.
"Hey mom can Ella and I go hang out with Iggy tonight?" I asked my mom walking into her study.
"Hey sweetheart. How was your last day as a junior?" She always knew how to avoid a question.
"It was good. School is school no matter if it is the first day or the last day. Now can Ella and I hang out with Iggy tonight?" She smiled at me and put something down that looked like a scrapbook down on her desk.
"Max, do you remember Linda.'
"Do you mean your best friend from high school Linda? Yeah, why?" I asked curiously.
"Well Linda her husband Peter and her son Nick are coming up to stay for the summer. Linda and Peter are considering moving here because both of their parents live around and it wouldn't be hard to transfer from their jobs." I nodded my head.
"And what does that have to do with anything?"
"Well they are actually already here and I wanted to know if you wanted to go out to dinner with me, Linda, and her son tonight. He is 17 too." She gave me a pleading smile.
"Sure why not. I'll just go tell Ella that I can't hang out with her and Iggy." My mom came over to me and embraced me in a hug. Her perfume overwhelming me. "Thank you Max." She said to me letting me go to go and find Ella. I wonder how she is going to take this.
"Max!" Ella screamed at me. "So now I have to go and hang with Iggy by myself. You know I like him. What am I supposed to do?" She said throwing herself down on her bed.
"Ella Iggy lik…" Did I almost just tell Ella that Iggy likes her. I quickly corrected myself and said, "Iggy likes hanging out with you." Way to go Max. "Do exactly what you would do if I were there. Talk to him, hang out with him, and most of all…" I can't believe I'm about to tell my little sister this "flirt a little bit."
"I would not flirt with him if you were there."
"Well that's good because I'm not going to be there. I have to go out to dinner with mom, her friend and her son. And now if you don't mind I have to go get ready and so do you. Text Iggy for me and tell him." And with that I walked back to my deep purple room and looked through my closet. I found my nicest pair of black skinny jeans and clean nice looking tee-shirt. I put the outfit on and went to go and show my mom.
"Hey mom is this okay?" She turned to look at me and gave me a death glare.
"Max you are not wearing jeans and a tee-shirt. You wear that everyday. Can't you wear the pretty blue dress I bought you for your birthday last year." Is she really asking me to wear a dress? She begged me for a few minutes and giving in I said "Only if it still fits." Lets just hope it doesn't, I thought to myself. If anyone I knew ever saw me in a dress I would be temped to kill myself from embarrassment. Back in my room I found the blue dress and tried it on. Unfortunately it fit me like a glove. I was so not excited for tonight. Looking over to my full length mirror I decided to leave my hair down since my mom would probably ask me to keep it down anyway.
"Max should I…" Ella stood open-mouthed in my doorway smiling at me. "You look so pretty. Do you want to borrow a pair of my flats because I know you don't like heels." I shook my head gratefully. Ella ran back to her room to go and get the shoes before I even got to tell her thank you. I truly hated heels with a passion. She came back with a pair of silver flats that to my own surprise I actually liked.
"Thank you so much sis." I said hugging her.
"Don't put any make-up on. Your to pretty to." That made me smile. Do you see why I love my sister to death.
Within in half and hour my mom yellbed from downstairs, "Max it's time to go." Running down the stairs trying not to fall I started to run out the door so no one would see me. "Hold it." My mom said grabbing my arm and turning me around. Giving a good look at me she smiled and said, "You look beautiful Max."
"Thanks mom. Now can we go before anybody sees me."
"Yes lets get going." She said. I flowed hebnr out to the car ready to go meet two complete strangers.
Hope you all enjoyed and like I said please review.
Oh and if any of you want to see the dress Maxis wearing to dinner here is it at this link. Yes, I imagined it to be a blue color but I liked the dress.
