I flew downstairs, my fist cocked back and aimed for her face ready to send her through the wall . . . but that didn't happen. I stopped in front of my sister and just glared at her. I know she was waiting for me to hit her, to send her through the wall like I was supposed to, but I just stood there, glaring at her.
Brute gave me a questioning look as to say "Why didn't you hit me?" and I just shrugged. I felt two other pairs of eyes looking at us as Brute leaned over and whispered "We need to go home and pack, remember?"
My eyes widened in realization, I had completely forgot that we had to start packing today because we were going on vacation tomorrow. I smiled at her, "Thanks for telling me. I'll meet you at home okay?"
She gave me an all-knowing smirk, "Alright but don't get too frisky while I'm gone."
I chuckled, "Get outta here." I said and gave her a light shove. "PEACE PEOPLE!" she yelled and left out the door.
I turned around and sweat dropped and the looks I was getting from the two other red-heads. They looked stunned to see me be so mad and then so calm at the blink of an eye. Actually I would be too if I didn't have things to do. I floated upstairs to where Brad was waiting for me to tell him the news.
"I'm sorry but I have to go home because we're going on vacation tomorrow so you can give me your answer then, okay?" I said in a soft tone while looking at anything else but him. Really I was scared about his response because there was a big chance he'd say no. I mean I always act like a tough girl just to get me through things, I guess you could say it was my defense mechanism to keep people away. Even now I don't really have any true friends.
"Alright, well have fun on your trip. Hey where are you going anyway?" He asked me. I finally looked up at him and replied, "We're going to stay at Citysville for a week for a family reunion and then we're going to catch a plane down to Atlanta and go on a cruise from there to Jamaica where we'll stay for a week and then come home. The whole trip all together is about three and half weeks." I disheartedly sighed at how long I would be gone. Brad probably was happy about my long departure.
"Wow, I wish I could go on a trip like that." He stopped to sigh and then continued, "Alright, well have fun and I can't wait until you come back."
Wait a minute, he just said that he couldn't wait until I came back. I looked back up at him to see him smiling at me with a sweet smile, the one that made my heart melt. I just smiled back and waved like a giddy little school girl as I left their house with what newly regained hope I had.
"So I heard Berserk confessed to you." We knew Berserk had confessed when Brat had gotten that phone call at the mall.
"Yeah, she did." He responded. I tell you, my brother sometimes can be so unemotional sometimes. I hope he wasn't like that to Berserk.
"So what did you say?" I inquired some more. Hopefully he would tell me now and stop me from giving him the begging of a lifetime.
"I didn't say anything. Berserk had to leave to go pack for their vacation so she told me to give her my answer when she got back."
"So do you like her?"
"I don't know Bryant, I just don't know." I left it at that, if Brad didn't know then everybody didn't know.
"Yes! We're going to the beach, we're going to the beach, we're going to the beach!" I chanted. I was really excited to go because there's a boardwalk and a carnival down there. We go there every year because daddy owns a vacation home down there, but this time it's not just me, Blossom, Buttercup, Bryant, Bruce, and Brad but also Boomer, Butch, Brick, and my best friend Jasmine! We've been best friends since forever and we talk about everything. There are no secrets between us. Jasmine is super pretty with chocolate brown eyes and jet black hair which goes down just past her shoulder blades. She has bangs which are side swept and lavender braces which go well with her tan skin tone. Right now her hair was in a high pony tail as we sat all the way in the back of the van.
"Bubbles we heard you already now please shut up!" Bruce had yelled at me. Everyone gave sounds of agreement.
"Bubbles you've been here like a million times so what's up?" Jasmine asked me. Yeah, Jasmine always tells the truth straight to your face because she cares, but if she lies to you then you've done something to piss her off. Jasmine can be a shy person though and even though she's been asked out like a million times she's never had a boyfriend.
"I'm just excited since everybody is coming with us!" I replied enthusiastically.
"Well I'm excited to because it's my first time coming here with you guys!"She replied just as enthusiastically.
We gave each other a high five and started laughing. That would become another one of our many inside jokes.
"Wow, you guys are hype." Butch said.
We were going to reply until the professor said, "Okay guys we're here. Everybody get out."
I was just lying on my towel under the umbrella in my lavender bikini. It seemed like everyone was having fun. Bubbles, Blossom, Brad, and Bryant were in the ocean playing around while Buttercup, Butch, and Brick were playing beach volleyball. Even Boomer seemed like he was having fun while he was texting someone right next to me. "Hey Boomer who are you texting?" I said, curiosity getting the best of me as I craned my neck to see the screen.
"Brat." He said while leaning away from me and tilting his phone so I couldn't see it.
"Oh. Hey where are they anyway?"
"They're on vacation. They'll be back on the first week of August."
"Oh." I said stupidly, and returned to my seat. I could see Bryant and Bubbles coming this way from the water. I waved at them and they waved back as they came up to our spot and sat down.
"Hey Boomer stop texting and come in the water with us." Bubbles said with a pout.
Boomer looked at her, sighed, and smiled. "Alright I'm coming." He said as he got up.
"You too Jasmine come on." She waved at me to come with them but I shook my head no.
"No I'll stay here. Plus I don't want to ruin your fun." I gave her a wink and she giggled as she left hand in hand with Boomer off to the water.
I looked at Bryant, "Why aren't you going with them?"I asked with my eyebrow arched.
"Because I'm gonna feel like a third wheel. Plus you seem lonely so I'd rather hang with you." He replied while smiling a big smile.
"Thanks." I smiled back at him, "So what do you wanna do?"
"How about we dig a big hole that we can stay in and then build a wall around it so when the waves come the walls will protect the hole from overflowing." He suggested.
I thought about it for a minute before replying. "Okay. That sounds fun. ", and gave him a smile of approval.
So Bryant grabbed my hand and helped me up as we both started to run to look for the perfect spot for our hole to go.
