Author's Note: I can't explain how sorry I am! I was informed the other day
that someone had been waiting for this next chapter for about 2 months! I'm
sorry it took so long! I'm working on another story called 'Ruining My Life
The Best Way I Know How'. My friends think I need to contact a publishing
company.
Just got off the phone with my Grandmother and it looks like I'm a cousin again. Alexis Seefeldt. 9 pounds. Born December 26th, 2002. That's a bummer. A birthday the day after Christmas. Mine is the 15th of December though.Forget the baby. On with the story!
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! I threw my alarm clock across the room. I'm going to kill the asshole who invented alarm clocks if he isn't already dead. I heard the clock sputter, then stop. That's the 2nd clock I've broken this month and it's only the 18th.
I sat up. The 18th. My birthday. I'm 17 year old today. I smiled broadly. I felt older. I felt a whole two years older. Awesome.
I stood up and turned up my stereo and danced around a little bit. I don't know what in the world made me do this, but obviously, I did.
I heard a loud thumping on my door. "DAMN IT CHI-CHI! I'M AWARE IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY BUT PEOPLE IN THIS HOUSE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!"
I rolled my eyes. My father is old and senile. I hate him sometimes. I turned off my stereo and grabbed my green bathrobe and towel.
I hurried through my shower. I wasn't about to spend my one day of the year cooped up in a house with a jerk of a father.
I ran into my room and threw on an emerald green T-shirt and dark blue bellbottoms. I put my hair up into a bun with chopsticks. I grabbed my coat, keys, and bag and flew out the door a whole 30 minutes before usual. Meaning I had a little more than an hour to waste.
I drove to the Starbucks downtown. I ordered a vanilla capaccino (know I didn't spell that right, but I drink it more often than I write about it.). School is five minutes down the road. What am I supposed to do? I mean, I can't spend an hour before school starts.
Apparently I could, because I found myself parking in my usual spot not five minutes later. I sipped my coffee. I walked through the empty halls. Janitors would cringe at how muddy my boots were on the freshly polished floor. I walked up to my locker. 14-28-8. Jigglejigglejiggle. It opened. Wow, now there's a first in my high school history. A note was taped to my book shelf.
I set my coffee down on the floor and snapped the note.
Chi-Chi,
Happy Birthday! I got you a present and I want you to meet me in that one closet that you showed me. I'll see you at 7:35. You get here by then don't you?
Goku
"Actually that's the exact time I get here," I said aloud and glanced at my watch. 7:05 am. "well, normally."
I decided to drop off my Spanish stuff early. My teacher stopped me though and showed me pictures from the ultrasound she got yesterday. There is definitely two kids in there.and they look like they're wrestling. Ahh, sibling rivalry. Isn't it great?
I didn't know what else to do. I slinked over to my closet and grabbed a book from the collection I brought from home. My eyelids got very heavy, very quickly. I slept.
I woke up to a peck on my forehead. I smiled, knowing right away who it was. I opened my eyes. Only he could kiss me like that.
"Hey," He whispered brushing the stray hair out of my face.
"Hi." I said. My voice cracked. I sounded like a happy, but tired 4 year old.
"Can I sit down?" He asked.
I got up, he sat down in my chair and I sat on his lap. He moved a little bit and gave me a large box. I squealed. Presents are my favorite things. I opened the box. Inside that box was.a box. I opened this box. Another box. Over and over again. The box eventually got down to three inches. I opened this one. This box wasn't cardboard like the others.this one was velvet. A jewelry box.
Oh my god.
I looked back at him. His eyes were pleading. "Open it.please."
I opened it, and sitting there wasn't another box.but a ring. A diamond solitaire. I gasped. The diamond wasn't big..but it certainly wasn't small.
Oh my god.
I looked back at him, wide eyed in shock. "This is m-mine?" He nodded. "Can I put it on?"
He looked at me oddly. "I wish you would." He said.
He took the ring and slide it onto my left ring finger. We kissed. And kissssed. And kisssssssed.
Author's Note: Yah. Short. I know I know I know. I've got my next chapter planned out. Get prepared for drama. Awww. My puppy is sleeping by my feet. I gotsa pet him! Bye bye!
