I laid in this morning, it was almost afternoon before I finally dragged myself out of bed! Cazzy had been taken care of thankfully, Mom and Zack were sat playing happy families singing 'clap-a-cake' with her. Zack seemed to be enjoying it more than Caz! I guess they have overcome whatever problem they were fighting over yesterday. Now all I need to see is Zack going back to work before I'm satisfied that everything is okay.
I went out and called for Jimmy but he was out, so I decided to stop by Daves. I made sure to knock before walking in this time, I didn't want to interrupt any business of his again like last time. He let me in and led me through to the room where he slumped down onto the couch instantly, as though walking to the door and back had been too much exercise for him to endure.
We made small talk for a while and I asked him who those guys were the other day. He explained they were some friends of his and that was all there was too it. Obviously they were either dealers like himself or buyers. I don't really care what they were. Seen as he was so forthcoming with that information I asked him about his fight with Zack. I came straight out with it, deciding that he was probably too stupid to understand what I mean if I had hinted at it!
He told me they had a slight misunderstanding and a few words were said. He claimed that there was nothing more too it. I asked him that if that was true how come he hadn't been round since it happened? He said he had been busy. Busy my ass! He's avoiding us. To change the subject he said that mom told him how my old man wrote a letter to try and contact me. I said 'yeah, what's it to you?' He said he was just making conversation as I was. I got the message, and left after that, I am not going to talk about it with him of all people.
As I left the house I walked the long way home, passing a group of screaming girls as I went. What are they always giggling about? As I passed I herd someone shout me, and I turned around to see Terri! I went up to her and we chatted for a while, I was embarrassed that I didn't notice her at first. I'm glad she called me over or I would have looked ignorant, and I don't want her to not like me.
She asked what I'd been up to and I said I'd been helping my mom around in the house, which she seemed to buy. She mentioned that one of her friends was having a party on Friday, and casually asked if I fancied going. Of course I did!! But I couldn't show her how eager I was so I nodded and said I'd take her if she wanted to go, which she did. We arranged where and when we'd meet on Friday. I can't believe it, another night with Terri planned. I hope this goes well, I can't wait to see her again.
I also cant wait until I get a phone so I can text her, then I can talk to her every day. A few more weeks at the garage and I bet I can buy a cheap phone. I've still got her phone number in the bottom of my sock drawer safe so I don't loose it!
After we finished she walked back over to the other side of the road while I started on back home, listening to them giggle. They seemed to get louder as I left, so I started wondering if they were laughing about me. I could feel my cheeks going red as I left, I was so embarrassed at the thought!
Three days until Friday, and I can be with Terri all day. I can't wait, its going to be great!
Jack.
