Chapter 7

Right after Lisa went to get ice cold water

Jinx's POV

I looked down at my cell phone's screen and pressed talk. I held my breath as the phone rang. Here goes nothing, I thought to myself as someone picked up the phone.

"Hello, Jinx?" asked one of my beloved younger brothers.

"Hey, is this Tyler?" I asked, pretty sure it was Tyler.

"Yeah, it's Tyler," Tyler replied. "What's up? We haven't heard from you guys since last week."

"Oh, nothing much," I said with a smile on my face. "I need to talk to Dad or Mom. Could you put them on the phone?"

"Sure thing, sis," Tyler replied as he shouted, "Mom! Phone! It's Jinx."

"Hey, baby girl!" my mom said. "What's up? What do you need to tell me?"

"Is Dad near you?" I asked, not wanting to tell her yet.

"Sure, why sweetie pie?" Mom asked, suspicious. "Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong," I said in reply. "I just want Dad to hear my good news too, that's all."

There was the sound of my mom forcing my dad to sit down on the couch next to her and then she put the phone on speaker. "Okay, so what's your good news?" my mom asked, anxious to know.

"Well...um," I said, nervous. "I, um, am engaged to Lucas."

"What?" my dad said as my mom said, "That's great news honey! When did this happen?"

"He asked me last night while we were on our anniversary date," I said in reply to my mom's question.

"So let me get this straight," my dad said. "You're telling me you're engaged to Lucas since last night?"

"Yep," I said, overflowing with excitement. Then I realized something. My dad could possibly be mad. I was now depressed and scared of what my dad was going to say.

"Well, that's wonderful honey!" my dad said, surprising me. "I've been waiting for this to happen for a while. I know that you guys will be happy together. That's all I care about. As long as you're happy with the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with, I'm happy and okay about it."

"Thanks Daddy," I said with tears tolling down my cheeks. I was touched by what my dad had said. Now I felt better about marrying Lucas. I didn't feel like I betraying my dad. I felt like I was doing exactly what my dad wanted me to do. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Lisa making her way to my room "I got to go Mom and Dad. Talk to you later! Bye!"

"Bye sweetheart!" my parents said before I hung up on them.

"How'd it go?" Lisa asked as she came into my room with a bucket of ice cold water.

"It went way better than I thought it would," I said in reply.

"Great!" said Lisa. She looked down at her bucket. "What should I do with the water?"

"You could try and pull a prank on Karen and Ivy to loosen them up," I suggested.

"Perfect!" said Lisa as she headed down the hall to Karen and Ivy.

The next day

Carlos's POV

"Hey Jinx!" I said as she headed to the parking lot with Lucas.

"Hey Carlos!" Jinx said in reply as she took Lucas and headed over to me. "What are you doing today?"

"Nothing, why?" I asked, confused.

"Well, we are going to the movies with a couple of our friends and have room for a couple more," Jinx replied. "Would you like to come with us?"

"Maybe," I said in reply. "Who all is going to be there?"

"Well, there's going to be brothers, older sister, cousins, and Lisa," Jinx said in reply. "There also some of our friends that you might have heard of. There's Aislinn Paul, Munro Chambers, Logan Lerman, and Alexandra Daddario."

"Awesome!" I exclaimed. "I'm in!"

Lucas chuckled before saying, "Do you even know who our friends are?"

I hesitated. I didn't want to seem girly, but I didn't want to seem stupid, so I told them the truth. "Yeah, I know them. Aislinn and Munro play Clare and Eli on Degrassi, one of my favorite shows, while Logan and Alexandra play Percy and Annabeth in the Percy Jackson movies."

"Impressive," Lucas said. "Most guys usually don't know who they are."

"Well, I'm not like most guys," I said, defending myself. I looked the couple up and down. They certainly looked like they were going to see a movie. Jinx had her hair up in a high ponytail and wasn't wearing makeup. She had on a turquoise Aeropostale zip-up hoodie over a yellow Aeropostale v-neck long sleeve shirt with a purple cami underneath it and dark skinny jeans. Lucas's hair looked naturally messing, not like he had gel in his hair. He was wearing a navy blue Aeropostale zip-up hoodie over a creme long sleeve shirt and light bootcut jeans. They looked like the cutest couple ever.

"So, are you coming or not?" Jinx asked, interrupting my inspection.

"I'd love to," I said, truly meaning it. "When are we going?"

"Right now," Jinx said, impatiently. She crossed her arms. Normally, I could care less, but something shiny had moved with her left hand. I looked and it and gasped to myself. Jinx and Lucas were engaged!

"Then let's get going," Lucas said, putting his arm around her and leading us to the car. Lisa was there waiting for.

"You guys ready to see The Heros of Olympus: The Lost Hero?" Lisa asked once we arrived at the car.

"Let's boogie," Jinx said, getting into the passenger seat. Lucas got in the driver seat and Lisa got in the set behind Jinx, leaving me with the seat behind Lucas. This was going to be fun. I was going to meet a few of my favorite actors and actresses! If only I had known how Jinx and her posse went to movies...

I know, I know. It was a short chapter. I didn't have a lot of time to write it and thought this was the perfect place to stop a chapter. Please review nicely!
