Chapter 20
The next morning
"Kendra get up we have to go to the airport with Matt. Jaimie's coming!" Greg said as he woke me up.
"What!?" I said shooting up out of bed.
"Jaimie's coming... We're going to get her she'll be here for a day and then tomorrow we're going to New Hampshire." Greg answered.
"But we we're supposed to spend this week together." I said frowning at him.
"Yea I know hunny, but I figured with everything that's gone wrong you might want to see Jaimie... You know someone to talk to with out getting mad at Amanda. Ya know? And Jaimie got the tickets from you're parents to go to the race, because they asked her if she wanted them. So she called Matt up and Matt called me up and yea, so we're going to have a hotel and go on a vacation together. We'll spend time together I promise." He said handing me some clothes.
"You picked these out?"
"Yeah why?"
"Because I've never seen them before. Did they come out of my bag?"
"No, I took Amanda to the mall with some of her friends this morning. And I had them help me pick out some clothes for you for this week. Seeing as you didn't bring a lot. So they picked out like 10 outfits for you. So you can thank Amanda and her friends for this bag full of clothes. I just picked out this one for now. You know something cute to greet your best friend with." He answered.
"Your so cute! I can't believe you did this for me!"
"Hey I felt bad about what happened. And I didn't know how to make it up to you. So I figured out that I'd buy you some clothes!"
"Hunny..." I said pushing him onto the bed. "I love you!"
"I love you too!" He answered kissing me.
1 hour later.
"JAIMIE!" I yelled as she stepped through the gate.
"KENGY!" She yelled back at me, running over and giving me a hug. "Where's Matt? Let me guess he sent you here alone because he didn't want to come see me right?"
"No... He's with Greg getting our plane tickets to NH tomorrow!" I said. "He'll be over in a minute." I answered laughing.
"Ohh I knew that." She said smiling.
"Jaimie!" Matt said smiling.
"Hey." She said as Greg and Matt came over.
"They're so cute..." I said as Greg stood beside me.
"I know. They remind me of a younger us just their the same age as us."
"Haha. I should tell them that! Maybe they'll feel more comfortable around us." I said laughing.
"What's so funny?" Matt asked.
"Nothing. Let's go, I'm hungry."
"Yea me too." Jaimie said laughing.
"Why is that funny?" Matt asked.
"I have no clue... Why is that funny Jaim?" I asked her.
"I don't know. I just felt like laughing." She answered. "Ok here's a question..." She said as we approached the car. "Where am I crashing tonight?"
"Um... Good question... Matt you got an answer for that one?" Greg asked.
"You know that is a good question because I never gave it any thought. My grandmother is here from Alabama so I don't have an extra room. And Greg you don't have an extra room do you, because Kendra is using it. Shit." Matt said.
"Well what gave you the idea that I was using the extra room at Greg's house?"
"WHAT?" Jaimie said.
"Nuffin'!" Greg said.
"You two are sharing a room?" Jaimie asked.
"DUAH!" I answered. "Why wouldn't we?"
"Um... because you're not together."
"What?" I asked looking at Greg.
"Yea what?" Greg asked looking at Matt.
"Well um... I guess the last time I talked to you was when the two of them we're having that fight." Matt said trying to laugh. "Shame on me."
"Wait so u're telling me that you haven't called her lately?" I said.
"Um... No." Matt said.
"Matt man... What is wrong with you?" Greg asked.
"Wait don't answer that let's just go get something to eat and you can tell us when we stop." I said.
"Yea sounds good." Jaimie said.
So when we got to the food place that we all agreed on (Pizza Hut) Matt explained that he'd been having family problems and he hadn't been able to use the phone and all that other good stuff. So when we were all done we headed back to Greg's house and got Jaimie all set up in the extra room for the night. Then at about 8:00 we headed out to a party for one of Matt's friends.
"Hey, I'm Ryan. Which one of you is Kendra?"
"I'm Kendra." I answered.
"Hey I'm one of Greg's close buddies."
"Ryan huh? What grade?"
"I'm a sophomore. Why do you ask?"
"Did you ever live in Maine?"
"Yea Auburn! Why?"
"Because I know you!" I said laughing. "You went to the Lantz's Halloween Party you're freshman year didn't you?"
"Yea I did. How'd you know that? ... Wait, Kendra... oohhh, heyyyy." He said.
"Hey what's going on here?" Greg came over asking. "You hitting on my girl dogg?"
"Nah man. Maybe if I didn't know she was yours I would be!" he said smiling at me.
"I know Ryan!" I said smiling at him.
"Really? You ever date?"
"Nah. She always had guys around her at school... so I figured I didn't have a chance!" Ryan said.
"Well you would have had a chance..."
"It's just that we've been dating sense like what you're freshman year right?"
"Yes. I hate it when you do that!" I said hitting him in the arm.
"What finish you're sentences?" he asked.
"YES!" I said laughing.
"Well we have to go... Where'd Jaimie go?" Greg asked.
"I dunno." I said looking around the room. "Bye Ryan." I said giving him a hug.
"Ok now I really remember you!" He said winking at me. Greg reached into my back pocket.
"Ooooo. Kendra got a phone number!" He said holding it above my head!
"Hey that's mine." I said jumping for it. "Greg. Give it back." I said jumping on his back. Then he froze. When I looked up I saw it.
"Kendra get up we have to go to the airport with Matt. Jaimie's coming!" Greg said as he woke me up.
"What!?" I said shooting up out of bed.
