Chapter 2: Catching Up

Jake and Sarah walk into their house with David.

"Mom this is one of our new neighbors." Sarah told Kate.

"Nice to meet you." Kate said to David.

"Mom can he hang out here for a while?" Jake then asked her.

"Sure but, first what's his name?" Kate then asked them.

"I'm David Calenti. You might remember my family from Midland." David said to her.

"How is everyone?" Kate then asked him.

"Everyone is fine Mrs. Baker." David answered.

"What brings your family to Evanston?" Kate then asked him.

"My dad got a head coaching job for a local high school." David replied.

"What high school?" Jake asked him.

"Fairfield." David told him.

"That's crazy." Jake then said to him.

"What's crazy?" David asked him.

"My dad is the head coach of Lakeside." Jake told him.

"How's that crazy?" David then asked him.

"Lakeside and Fairfield are rival high schools." Sarah then said to him.

"Not again." David said to them.

"What's wrong?" Jake asked him.

"Remember how crazy it got when my dad was the coach at Redford and your dad was the coach at Lincoln?" David asked him.

"Kind of. It's been a while." Sarah said to him.

"We were all friends and then when the game between Redford and Lincoln was near it was like an all out war with your dad and my dad." David explained.

"I remember now. It was stupid the way our dads acted. We couldn't even talk to you guys during that whole week." Sarah said to him.

"And then remember the championship game of 98?" David asked them.

"They acted like little kids and didn't even talk to each other." Jake then said.

Lorraine comes down the stairs and looks at David. "Who's this?" She asked Jake and Sarah.

"Remember David Calenti?" Sarah asked her.

"Yeah." Lorraine replied.

"This is him." Jake then said to her.

"No way. How's your brother Jesse?" Lorraine asked him.

"He's doing good. He going to play football for Fairfield." David told her.

"Is still as good as he was when we moved?" Sarah asked him.

"He's gotten better. He still plays middle linebacker." David said to her.

"You guys should come over for dinner tonight." Jake told him.

"Are you sure it's all right with your mom?" David asked them.

"Hey Mom!" Sarah yelled.

"Yes, Sarah." Kate replied.

"Can the Calenti's come over for dinner tonight?" Sarah asked her.

"It's fine with me." Kate told them.

"Cool. I'll see you guys then." David said to them.

"Be here by six dude." Jake told him.

"Sure. I'll tell my family and let them know." David said as he walked out the door.

Lorraine is look ing out the window to see if she can see Jesse.

"You like Jesse Calenti don't you?" Sarah asked her.

"No I don't." Lorraine replied.

"You so totally do." Jake then sais to her.

"I do not." Lorraine then replied as she went up stairs.

"Where are you going now? To put make up on for your boyfriend?" Sarah yelled up the stairs to Lorraine.
