Link hurried home. His sister Tanya was home with her two kids. She
spotted him and walked over.
"Got a date for this weekend?" Tanya asked hugging him.
"She's not my date!" he yelled and sitting on the couch.
"Link, come to my room, and we can talk." She pulled him up off the couch and took him downstairs, where her old room was.
"Sit down." Tanya said pointing to the bed. She took a chair from a desk and sat it across from him.
Tara walked in and sat down beside Link. Link had always been close to his two oldest sisters. The two older sisters could have been twins. They both had their father' hair, Tanya's was short, Tara's was long. Their mother's facial features, except their dad's lips, and their mother's build. Both of them were chunky and loved it.
"It's time?" she asked Tanya
"Yup. Link it's time you know something." Link looked panicked.
"No! Dads already gave me the sex talk!" Tanya and Tara laughed.
"Uh, no. We weren't talking about that." Said Tanya. "Look, we all love Mac."
"Yes we do. And, we know you do too." Added Tara
"I love her as a friend but not as a-"Tanya cut him off
"Yes you do! Haven't you realized it? Mackey also loves you!" Link's heart stopped. She liked him.
"That means that." he said looking at the wall
"That you could ask her out." They both said at the same time.
"Yes!" he yelled and ran up the stairs.
Tara and Tanya rolled their eyes and smiled. They did a high five and walked up the stairs.
Link found a new excitement in his life. The girl that he loved loved him back. He could finally ask her out. Link filled up his suitcase and went to sleep hoping the day would come sooner.
Tabitha came in and woke him up the next day.
"Rat, wake up." She said pushing him.
"Why are you waking me up, not Tara or Tanya?" he asked glaring at her evilly.
"Because A) Mom asked me to and B) I wanted to annoy you." Tabitha walked back out.
Link got up and got ready. He wore a fancy shirt and his favorite khaki cargos. Link tried to spike his hair, but he decided on the slick back look that always required way too much hairspray. He had learned it from his dad. Link grinned at himself in the mirror and put on some of his father's cologne.
"Today I'm going to do it." He said to himself
"Freak." Said Tabitha walking by.
Link rolled his eyes and took his suitcase downstairs. He also had his backpack with all the important stuff, CD player, CD's, cards and so on and so forth.
"Well Link, it looks like you have a new uh." Tracy smelled the air. "Scent on life." Everyone in the room burst out laughing.
He rolled his eyes and took his suitcase out to the van they had and put his suitcase in the trunk and his bag in the last seat. As 2:30 came around Link got more and more excited. Finally they were ready to go. Tanya, her husband, their two kids, and Tabitha were going in one car, and Tara, her husband, Link Sr., Tracy, Link Jr. and Mac were going in the van. They would meet at the Am and be in two separate compartments.
Finally they headed over to Mac's house. They stopped and Link got out going to the door. He knocked and Mac's mom answered the door.
"Hi Mrs. Dark. I'm here to pick Mac up." His mom gave him an evil look.
"You mean McClarin Mr. Larkin?" Mac's mom hated her nickname and would never let anyone call her that around her.
"Um, yes ma'am." Mrs. Dark nodded and opened the door. She handed Link Mac's suitcase.
"McClarin!" she yelled.
Mac came running down the stairs. She also had on her Khaki cargos and a British flag t shirt, with instead of blue and red, it was black and pink. Her hair was in a pink wide head band that stood out in her black hair.
"Mom skip the rules I got to get going!" She grabbed her gray one shouldered back pack and gave her mom a dry peck on the cheek. "Bye, love ya." She ran out the door with Link.
They hopped in the back of the van after throwing Mac's luggage in the back.
"That was close. I thought you were going to get the rule talk." Mac said relieved.
"Tell me about it. I was shaking before I got in there!" They both laughed.
Tara turned around and faced Mac. Mac hadn't seen her when she got in the van.
"Tara!" she leaned forward and gave her a hug. "Is Tanya going to be here too?" Mac asked
"She is about ten minutes ahead of us." Mac squealed.
In about ten minutes they arrived at the Am Track station. Mac and Tanya had their little reunion. They boarded the train and started heading for the other side of Maryland.
"Got a date for this weekend?" Tanya asked hugging him.
"She's not my date!" he yelled and sitting on the couch.
"Link, come to my room, and we can talk." She pulled him up off the couch and took him downstairs, where her old room was.
