Here's another chapter!!
Surprisingly, the Superstore called on Sunday. They wanted to interview me. I was suddenly a little nervous. I had never been interviewed for a job before. Okay, make that, really nervous. Everything from what I wore to what I said had to be perfect.
Okay, deep breaths, calm down Amber, I told myself, it's only a grocery store.
But still, it had to go right. I really wanted this job.
While I was pacing around my room -stop to stare in my closet for a few seconds, then start pacing again- I reminded myself of Dougie before the audition, and while he was waiting for the phone call. I had to laugh. It was cute how nervous he was. Thinking of cute, I thought of Danny, who was way more than cute. He had called me yesterday, but I wanted to see him again.
Suddenly, I gave up on trying to find an outfit. I had three days. The interview was Wednesday at 5:00. I had just enough time to come home and get ready, before going to the interview. Luckily, by that time Sam was off work, so she could drive me. I thought about wheather I was ready to drive or not. I didn't think I was. But, I wanted to get places on my own. Maybe I would take driver's ed next year at school.
I heard the door slam downstairs, and then, "I'm HOME!" Dougie was home from band practice. He was gone so often these days. I went downstairs to see him.
"Hey!" I said when I saw him.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked me.
"The Superstore called!" I told him excitingly.
"Oh yea? What did they say?"
"They want to interview me!"
"What? That's great!" he yelled, then grabbed me in a hug.
"You nervous?" he asked.
"Just... A lot!" I said.
"It'll be great," he told me.
"Right..." I said. He grinned. "How was band practice?" I asked.
"Great!" he said, he loved talking about the band, "We have some great songs!"
"That's awesome! I can't wait to hear them!" I told him truthfully, thinking about how I couldn't wait to hear Danny sing again.
"AMBER AMBER AMBER!" yelled Jazzie coming down the stairs. She stopped short when she saw Dougie.
"Oh hey Doug, you're home."
"Yea," I laughed, "Didn't you hear him?"
"No..."
"What's wrong Jazzie?"
"Nothing, I'll tell you later," she said, then walked back upstairs. I stared after her for a couple of seconds then gave Dougie a questioning look. He just shrugged.
"Um, I'm going to see what that's about," I told him.
"Yea sure," he said, grabbing the lemonade from the fridge.
I walked upstairs and knocked on Jazzie's door. She let me in.
"Hey Jazzie, is everything all right?" I asked.
"Yea!" she was grinning.
"What was that all about?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to tell you something but not in front of Dougie."
"Okay, what is it?"
"Jake asked me out!"
"Jake?" I asked, confused.
"The guy I like..."
"Oh my god! Yes! Sorry!" I grabbed her in hug. She was still grinning. "This is awesome!" I almost yelled. But I didn't, so that Dougie didn't come up to see what was going on.
"How do I tell Mom?" she asked.
"The same way you told me," I told her. I remembered when I had to tell my parents I got my first boyfriend. I actually just told my mom. She's the one who told dad. "Just say it. It'll be easier that way."
"Yea, okay." she said, "Thanks."
"Of course!" I said, hugging her again. She tried to get out of my arms, so I laughed at her and left the room. When I stepped outside her room, I heard my phone ringing upstairs.
"Shit!" I said then started sprinting up the stairs. I got there just in time and picked up without checking who it was.
"Hello?"
"Hey beautiful." It was Danny. I sighed and fell back onto my bed.
"Hey Danny," I said, "Oh! Guess what?"
"What?" he asked excitedly. I grinned.
"The Superstore people want to interview me!"
"Oh that's great!" he exclaimed, "You'll get the job for sure!"
"Thanks, Danny."
We talked for a while before he said, "So, I was wondering if you wanted to do something tomorrow? We could go out for coffee or something."
"Yea, I'd love that!" I told him. I didn't drink coffee but I figured I could get a hot chocolate or something.
"Great! What time does your school end?"
"Well I get home at 3:30."
"Great, I can pick you up at 4:00?"
"Yea, that would be great!"
"Awesome! See you tomorrow then!"
"Bye Danny."
I walked down the stairs really happy. Jazzie saw me grinning and said, "I'll take a guess and say that was Danny on the phone."
I grinned, "Yep, it was. And I'm going out with him tomorrow."
"Awesome! Do you think he's going to kiss you this time?" I had told Jazzie about my date with Danny. Even though she was only 12, I loved talking to her.
"He better," I said.
Review?? They make me update faster! :D
