Sorry it's taken so long guys…I've been pretty busy.
Chapter 3: A job and a new boyfriend
Keely sat on the couch in her mother's house about a week or two after graduation, she just sat there thinking about her life, her future, her dreams, she knew that Phil had left awhile ago but just couldn't grasp the thought of that. It seemed as if he was still there talking to her, but no he wasn't. Now all she could do is wait for a news studio to call her and tell her she got the job, she had already sent out many applications a week ago, but not a single call from any of them…yet.
"Keely what are you doing here?" Keely's mother asked as she came into the living room.
"Watching my life go by…" Keely said quietly.
"Keely you should be out there looking for a job to keep you busy until a news station calls you." Her mother said.
"Why should I do that?" Keely asked
"Because Keely, you can't just expect to spend your whole life here in this house, with the money you make you should buy a house and meet a man…come to think of it I think that Ricky is single still." Her mother said.
"Ricky? Ricky Parsent?" Keely asked
"Yes Ricky Parsent what's the matter with him?" her mother asked
Keely ignored her mother's last comment and asked
"The same Ricky Parsent that lives across the street and has a new girlfriend every night?"
"Yes that's the one…now why don't you go and talk to him?" her mother asked as she helped Keely get up and pushed her out the door.
Keely didn't bother argue, she let her mother push her out the door even though she never wanted to even talk to Ricky. He was hot but all the popular girls had dibs on him first. Keely used to always consider herself popular, until Phil, Via, and Tia left, after that she felt…alone and unpopular.
She walked across the street and knocked on Ricky's door, he immediately opened it and smiled as he saw Keely.
"Keely Tessslow…I knew you would be stopping by one of these days…" Ricky said.
Keely didn't want to do this but her mother was practically begging her to do it, and she hated letting her mother down. She took a deep breath and said
"I came here for a date…"
Ricky smiled.
"Keely Tesslow…my new girlfriend" He said.
Keely tried to smile but couldn't, there was just something about him she didn't like. Luckily before she could say anything else her mom yelled
"Keely the new TV broadcasting news station wants you to be the head reporter!"
Keely screamed.
"This is amazing my lifelong dream come true!" She said loudly.
"Keely you must be very happy, you got a boyfriend and a job all in one day…congratulations" Ricky said.
Keely urged herself to tell him she isn't his girlfriend but then it hit her, she had to be her mother wanted her to be, even if she didn't want to she had a feeling she should date him anyway.
