Uncle Steve was outside with the BBQ when the door bell rang so i went to answer it.
"Hey Gracey" Chin and Adam said whilst Kono pulled me into a hug
"Hi guys, come on through Uncle Steve's out back with the BBQ, the beers are on the table outside" nodding and saying thanks they headed through to Steve. As i turned to follow them my phone buzzed
Hey Gracey, i'm sorry for what happened earlier with your uncle, i'd love to meet you tomorrow morning you pick a time. the spot where you know what happened earlier? let me know,i cant wait to see your cute face tomorrow. love Jake
Smiling to myself i text him back whilst walking through the house towards the garden
can't wait to see you. 7:50? and of course that spot will always be special to me now. love gracey xxxx
By the time i hit send i was walking out the back door and i clearly had a much bigger smile on my face then i realized as when i approached the table Kono asked
"What's got you in such a good mood g?"
"Nothing" i replied apparently little two quickly as everyone round the table gave me a look. Unfortunately for me luck was not on my side as Steve had appeared and asked
"This doesn't have anything to do with"
"No it doesn't" i cut him off. The door bell rang clearly being Grover and Gene so i got up to answer it. When i got back the only thing that had changed was Steve had sat down and they were all looking at me expectantly.
"Looks like we missed the beginning of something good" chuckled Grover sitting down
"I told you its nothing i'm just in a good mood, and no Steve it's got noting to do with what happened after practice, cant a teenager just be happy"
"No" the group chorused
"What i want to know is what happened after practice" commented chin with nods of agreements from the others.
"Fine i'll tell them what happened. And you" I directed towards Steve "But your not to add your own take. A boy in my friend group ans some of my classes is on the football team so we finished practice at the same time tonight and as we were leaving he asked me to met him tomorrow to finish a assimant that is part of our final grade as we only have a week to finish it and we both are preparing for the game on Friday so we won't have much time" i finished shigning knowing my ohana wouldn't let it go.
"Meats done" Steve announced coming back over with a plate of food. Luckily everyone tucked in, the last conversation seemed forgotten until part way through eating kono leaned over as she was next to me and whispered
"Come on a walk with me after dinner?" nodding in agreement i finished my food and joined in the other conversations going on. After dinner all the guys and Gene started playing poker so me and Kono went on the walk shed asked me to. Once we were a little way along the beach Kono started
"I know that smile you had on your face its the same for all girls its called the i have boy news, so whats up" she asked looking at me. blushing deeply i reply
"so basically i've been talking and getting close to this boy Jake since thanks giving. He knows everything happening as hes close to me and in my friend group and today first lesson we got given an assimant together and on the way to second lesson Dano phoned me and then Jake tried to cheer me up all second lesson then at break he took me to a quite spot so we could talk through everything as he new i was worried and he was so kind and patient about it he asked me out and i said yes coz hes great and hot and then at lunch and last lesson which was free and we didn't get much done coz we just talked which is what i needed and then you heard what happened after practice." i explained looking at the floor the whole time. Kono put her hand on my shoulder so i turned to look at her. Standing still now she asked
"Is he treating you right"
"Yeah course he is, he is so lovely" i replied
"Well that's all that matters. I support you the others will joke and be over protective and dicks about it, trust me i went through that with chin and his friends just know i'm always here for you if you need advice, support anything i'm here. Just be sensible"
"Thank you" i replied "Some days i don't know what id do without you" hugging her "But please don't tell the others that we've got together i don't want them freaking out on Friday at him"
"ok... i can do that" she responded "If you two come and meet me for breakfast tomorrow so i can talk to both of you when your meant to be meeting at school so nothing spikes Steve's suspicion, i'll text you where and you can talk to Jake tonight deal?"
"deal" i replied smiling and we headed back towards Steve's.
