Meena Adalita Paroom

It was the day that I was suppose to leave Mitchie's house. Tyler's annoying alarm clock woke me up at six in the morning. For the love of yaks! I wasn't supposed to be up this early but somehow Tyler's clock thought so. Tyler came running into his room. I think he heard me curse in Bahavian because he stared at me as if I were a freak.

"Sorry Meena, today is supposed to be my shift at the El Pollo loco and it wakes me up at six. I forgot to set it at a different time. My bad!" Tyler said.

"That's okay, I love waking up at six am!" I exclaimed, sarcastically. I went downstairs to the site of Tyler, Hayley, Emily, Mr. and Mrs. Torres eating pancakes.

"¡Buenos días, Meena!" Mrs. Torres greeted me in Spanish this morning, which was quite peculiar.

"Good morning." I said, grabbing some pancakes, pouring some syrup and started eating. I didn't have much of an appetite this early morning but I knew I had to eat for respect while at somebody's house. Mrs. Torres looked at me again.

"Meena, before I take you to the mall, Hayley and Mitchie would like to stop by the pharmacy across the street." Mrs. Torres said.

"Why?" I asked.

"They want to get some of Emily's asthma medicine." Mrs. Torres explained. I just shrugged. As soon as I was done with breakfast, I helped Mitchie out with the dishes. I went upstairs, packed my things and got ready. Mrs. Torres drove us to the pharmacy and waited inside the car, patiently. When Mitchie felt like the coast was clear, she turned to me and whispered something.

"Meena, were not really here for Emily's inhaler. We're here because Hayley ran out of pre-natal pills. My mother doesn't know yet that Hayley is pregnant." Mitchie explained.

"Oh, okay." I said, not really in the mood. I saw an ice cream place next door. Ice cream should calm me down. "Listen, I'm going to get some ice cream, alright?" I walked next door to the ice cream place and bought myself a cone of Rocky Road ice cream, which seemed delicious at a warm whether like this. I sat down by a dude wearing glasses. As he took of his glasses, he looked extremely familiar. He looked like Jason Gray, one of the members of Connect three. I wasn't really sure that it was him since most males look like him, so I just ignored him. He smiled at me.

"Hi I'm...."He was interrupted by me.

"......Jason Gray?!" I exclaimed, happily.

"Yup, that's me." Jason said. "Don't tell anyone I'm here."

"Can I have your autograph?" I asked, grabbing my notebook and a pen out of my purse and giving it to him. He quickly grabbed the notebook and pen and started signing it, he even put his picture there! "Thanks!"

"You're welcome." He said. Jason smiled at me with a flirty grin on his face. "So, connect three is having a farewell party tonight and I was wondering if you would like to go as my date......"

"My name is Meena, Meena Paroom." I said, grinning at him from ear to ear. "And sure, I would love to go to your farewell party."

"Okay, Meena, just come to this address at seven-thirty tonight." Jason said, writing down the address on a small piece of paper and giving it to me. "Be there!"

"Sure I will." I said, I know it's not that safe to accept an invitation from a complete stranger. But come on, he's Jason Gray from connect three! He may not be Newt, the guy whom I loved dearly but I needed something or somebody to get my mind off my problems. I went to Mitchie who was standing outside. Hayley was vomiting in the garbage, again.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked Mitchie.

"She has morning sickness. Anyways, why did it take you long to buy ice cream?" Mitchie asked.

"It's a long story." I said, not bothering telling Mitchie about connect three's farewell party. Hayley went back from the garbage and took one of her pre-natal pills. Mitchie, Hayley and I went inside the car when Mrs. Torres was driving me to the mall. I got my bags outside and stepped out.
