People Sometimes Surprise You
Chris did call me the next day, and he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him and the boys at Vern's house. I said yes, even though I kind of wished it was just me and him, but you take what you can get.
He said he would pick me up in half hour and walk to Vern's with me, since I didn't know where it was.
I quickly showered and got dressed, wearing capris and a white tank top. I was putting on some of my trusty peach lip gloss when the doorbell rang.
I ran downstairs and opened the door.
"Hey," Chris said. "You like nice," he said blushing. It was cute how he got shy sometimes.
"You look nice too," I said laughing.
"I know," he said, the shyness gone as quickly as it came.
He kissed me gently on the lips, took my hand, and we walked to Vern's, which wasn't that far.
Chris knocked on the door. To my surprise Billy answered the door. I had forgotten he was Vern's brother. Shit I thought to myself. I hope he doesn't act like too much of a dick.
"Chambers," he greeted Chris. "Long time no see man. How's it hanging," he asked shaking his hands like they were best friends who hadn't seen each other in sixty years.
"Hey man. What's up," he asked?
"Nothing. About to go over your house. Eyeball's home right?"
"Yeah I think so. Alright well I'll see you around," he said stepping into the house.
"Hey, Gloria. I didn't see you. How are you," he asked? I was kind of confused. Actually I was a lot confused. I didn't understand why he was so nice to Chris. And I was surprised that he didn't say something snide to me. I guess I underestimated him.
"Umm.....I'm fine," I said hesitantly.
"Hey, I heard about what happened with Ace. Sorry. He can be a jerk sometimes. If it makes you feel any better, Eyeball kicked his ass when he found out."
"Oh really," I said surprised. "Uhhh.....that was nice of him. I guess." I didn't know how to feel about that so I decided not to think about it.
"Well I'll see you guys around," he said.
"Bye," Chris said.
"What was that all about," I asked after Billy left.
"What," he asked?
"I thought you hated the Cobras," I said confused.
"I do. Just not Billy. He was never a jerk to me. He doesn't fit in with them, but he's been friends with them so long, he's just kind of stuck there," he explained. I was still kind of confused and Chris noticed.
"It's complicated," he said. "Come on. I think their upstairs."
"Alright," I said. I guess he didn't really want to explain it, so I decided to just leave it alone. It's weird, how wrong you can misjudge people so badly sometimes. I seem to be very good at that. First Ace, and then Eyeball, and now Billy. People sometimes surprise you.
***Sorry this was the shortest most boring chapter ever. I don't think the whole Billy thing is gonna amount to anything, I just didn't feel like writing mean dialogue.....lol. Anyway, I'll update soon, and it'll be longer, and better hopefully R/R! Thanks for the reviews too.***
