Keanna's POV:
Christmas is so soon. Yet, it's so far away.
Last week of November is always a chaos at our house. All the decorating (Let me tell you, decorating a three story house, is NOT fun. Especially if Kayleigh starts jumping around hyper on sugar.)
"You ready to go?" mom asked.
"No," I said.
"I thought you said you needed practice if you're going to pass the test next month." She said.
"I do, but..." I trailed off.
"You're not going to crash." She said.
"I'll drive if she's not!" Landon exclaimed.
"Hold up mister. You failed your learner's exam. I'm not letting you drive until March." Mom said.
"That is so unfair!" he exclaimed.
"Stop acting like a girl." Kayleigh said poking him from behind.
"She has a point." I said. "I'll drive mom."
She handed me the keys and grabbed her coat.
The ride was pretty quiet. I almost lost control thanks to Landon and Kayleigh's bickering.
Luckily I didn't.
The parking definitely was the hardest.
Not that I couldn't, but that there weren't any spots to park at.
But when we did, I was tugged out by Kayleigh.
"Kayleigh! You shouldn't do that!" mom exclaimed.
"Sorry," she said. She so didn't mean it.
About 10 minutes into shopping, I saw a familiar face. More specifically, the guy I'd have liked to kill on the last day of school.
"Ugh." I groaned.
"What's up?" Kay asked.
I pointed in the direction discreetly so only she could see.
"Who the hell is he?" she hissed.
"Sophomore that used to go to my school. Very perverted, annoying, doesn't get the fact someone's not interested." I said.
"Douchebag." She said.
Mom either didn't hear, or didn't want to make a scene. I'm hoping for the first.
"You're telling me. I spent the last day of school trying not to hit him." I said. "Well, actually, Parker restrained me from hitting him."
She looked at me incrudulously.
"I broke up with him!" I exclaimed quiet enough only she could hear.
"I know, but still!" she exclaimed.
"Never mind anything. Let's just get this over with." I said.
Okay, I had Leah and Kayleigh mixed up for a second today while writing this, and just in case somebody else is getting confused:
Olivia & Wen: Keanna (15 soon to be 16), Landon (14), Emma (11), Kayleigh (9), David (9)
Mo & Scott: Kyra (15), Madi (13), Trent (10)
Stella & Charlie: Parker (15), Emily (11) Leah (9 soon to be 10), Jake (8)
I know the chapter was short, but there is a good reason. Projects and exams are piling up and I had two rewrites just last week and had to study every spare moment I had. The next chapter is kind of mixed.. It shows what happens when Keanna and Parker crosses path at school. But that's the minor plot. Another one is Landon and Keanna having to work together to watch Zoë. Another is the twins, Lean, Trent at school. I'm not sure if I'll do that last one for sure, but I think I will. I think that's gonna be the last chapter before Christmas Eve. Next chapter is probably sometime in December, most likely the second week. Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
