Hey, guys I'm so sorry. I know it's taking me along time to update…I'm just really busy. I have finals now, so yeah…Here it is!
"Hey, Lin, what are you doing after school?" Janice asked.
"I have rehearsal." She answered. She was finishing up some homework that she "forgot" to do the night before.
"Oh, already?"
"Uh huh."
"Well, I have to work late today, so I'm not going to be able to pick you up. And your dad's going out with your Uncle Steve."
"What about Bran?"
"What about Bran?" Bran asked walking into the living room.
"Can you pick me up from rehearsal?"
"Sorry, hun, I have a date."
"Whatever. I'll find a ride." Lindsey said.
"What time are you going to be done?" Janice asked.
"The same time as every other play I'm in…including the one that ended two weeks ago. Eight o'clock. But with notes and Tech meetings at the end and all…I'll probably be home around nine."
"Okay." Janice said and walked out.
"You sure you'll find a ride?" Bran asked.
"Eh, I'll find something. And if I don't, I'll walk home."
"No you won't." Bran said protectively. "It's not safe walking alone at nine o'clock at night."
"Bran, I'll be fine."
"Lindsey, I don't care. You're not walking home. You understand me?" Lin rolled her eyes. Sometimes he was a little…too protective.
"All right, all right, but what if I don't find a ride?"
"Then…" He paused to think a minute. "My date's at 7:30. By five o'clock you call me and tell me if you have a ride. If you don't I'll pick you up."
"What about your date?"
"I'll drop you off and go out again." He answered.
"Look, how 'bout this," Lindsey offered. "I'll find a ride near the beginning…if I can't get one, I'll call Uncle Pony or Uncle Soda or something…if I can't get a ride with anyone I'll call you. I'm sure I will, though…with six uncles and most of them have kids…I'll find something. Don't worry."
"Can't help it." He said. Lindsey rolled her eyes.
"Whatever." Bran chuckled and ruffled her hair.
School had gone by uneventfully and Lindsey was walking into the cafeteria for rehearsal. As usual, she was one of the first ones there.
"Hey, Linz." Drew, the Tech Director greeted her.
"Hey, Drew!" She greeted back. They sat there talking a while, waiting for everyone else to get there when someone who Lin didn't recognize came and said that her brother was outside wanting to talk to her. Lin got up and went.
"Hey, Bran."
"Hey, you have a ride?" He asked.
"Rehearsal hasn't even started…everyone isn't even there yet."
"Fine. Call me when you get a ride."
"Okay." Bran hugged her and left.
"Okay, who wants to take me home today?" Lin asked the circle of people sitting there.
"Where do you live?" The same kid who had told her about Bran being outside asked. Lindsey told him and he said,
"Yeah, sure. I'll take you home. You live a block away from me."
"Awesome." Lindsey asked, thinking to herself that she didn't even know his name.
Okay, guys! There's the next chapter! Hope you enjoyed. With time, it'll get better. I promise. Please review!
