I'm glad to see that someone likes it… ;) This fic kinda gets ignored compared to Passage From Pennsylvania, which only has like 12 chapters, and Shipped… Though I haven't really written anything in Passage for a while… Aha, the conundrums Young Haley gets into…
;) After all, what is life, or an action movie, for that matter, without romance? I'm working up to Haley's own romance… lol… But I have to do the war to do that…
Lindy stood by her friend nervously.
"Mom, I'm at Lindy's house, her mom knows, don't tell Dad, and could you please bring me up some stuff. Thanks, bye!" Haley spat quickly.
With that, she hung up, turning to her friend.
"Hey, Lindy, anything in particular you want to do?" Haley asked apprehensively.
Lindy shook her head. Haley smiled, grabbing her friend's wrist and pulling her out the door.
"Good. I have to meet someone down in the other neighborhood," Haley replied, breaking into a run.
Lindy was confused, but ran along with her friend.
"Why aren't we walking on the sidewalk?" Lindy asked, perplexed.
"Dad would see me. Can't have that happening. It'd ruin everything. Now come on, I'll tell you later. James is waiting at Brendan's house and that doesn't mean anything good, if you get my drift," Haley panted.
Lindy shot her friend a confused look, but they continued running. Finally, Haley and Lindy were both too tired to keep running. They collapsed unto the grass of a nameless yard.
"So, what happened? Why're you meeting James at Brendan's house? Why don't you want your dad to see you?" Lindy demanded in quick succession.
Haley looked her friend over for a minute, then sighed.
"Well, it's a funny story actually… You see, it's been a very strange day for me. I mean, I went furniture shopping, met a guy in a skirt, a saleslady thought my friend was pregnant, and then there's the whole kiss thing…" Haley muttered, biting her lip.
Lindy gaped at her friend.
"Kiss thing?" She questioned.
Haley looked down.
"Yeah. You see, I kissed someone to make the girl who likes him jealous so she'd wise up and they'd start going out…or something, and well, long story short, Dad saw. I'm kind of afraid, so I'm meeting him at Brendan's house," Haley explained in a single breath.
Lindy gave her a curious look, but she didn't really look so surprised.
"You kissed Brendan?" She pondered aloud.
Haley looked somewhat horrified.
"No! I kissed James. Now come on, I can't imagine what Brendan and James are talking about!" Haley corrected, getting back up and running across the street and through a few backyards with Lindy soon surpassing her.
They ran on a little while until they saw Brendan's driveway. Lindy glanced over at Haley's face, which had paled a little and looked a little shocked. Haley gulped then, walking over towards the boys.
