The Date (in Katie's POV)
That afternoon, I told Julie and Connie that I'd asked Luis out, and he said yes. Julie and Connie gave the thumbs up and told them to come by my house after practice and help me get ready. I was so excited I could hardly concentrate on the lessons and practice. To say I was nervous was an understatement of the year, at practice I feel on my face, missed the pluck in an easy shoot and flipped over the boards and landed on top of Coach Bombay. After apologizing 60 times, I hit the showers, the hot water felt so good, and I was thinking about Luis, and I got really nervous and breathless again.
At the house, my sister, Princess Emily as I refer to her, was on the phone with her boyfriend from Acorn Falls, which is wear we're from before we moved here. I really wanted to look great, and we looked though my closet and torn my normally neat bedroom up. We finally agreed on my black leather pants, apple red halter-top, my candy apple red knee high boots, and a black hair band. I wore my handcuff earrings and a red and sliver snake ring in my middle finger. The girls did up my hair in a side sweep do and then I was ready. At the same time I was twirling around up stairs the doorbell rang. There was Luis!
Luis looked great in his jeans and tight black wife beater shirt. We walked out the door, and my mom called over her shoulder, "be back by 11:00pm" I had already knew that. We walked to the mall, since neither one of us could drive. As we waited in line to get the tickets we talked and got to know each other better. I told him about my crazy friends back in Acorn Falls, Sabrina, Randy, and Allison, and how we always got back at Stacy the Great. He told me about his home in New Mexico, and his friends and family. Then we got popcorn and settled back to watch the movie.
The movie was great, I think, but all I could do is stare at Luis, he was nothing like Scottie Silver, he was kind, cute, nice, a gentleman all the way. Sometime during the movie, which was really scary, I grabbed his arm and held on tight; I know this because he told me his arm went numb sometime after the first 10 minutes of the movie. That's when he leaned over and kissed my head, I thought I was going to die. My legs got soo weak that when the movie ended I couldn't stand up, I told Luis that my legs we're asleep. When we walked back to my house, he actually kissed me on the lips, I wantd to last forever, but Emily gave me the signal that mom was coming down stairs, so I had to go but I was really floating on cloud 9 tonight!
