Thanks to everyone who reviewed! So here is the next chapter! Happy Turkey Day!
Oh, and before I let you read the story. I want you too know that I changed the summary.
I woke up to someone calling me. Ugh, I really need to turn my phone off during the weekends. I grab my phone and look at the caller ID. Luke. Ugh I am so not answering it. I hit ignore and take my ear phones out of my ears and I place my iPod on my night stand. I grab my phone once more to see what time it is. It's 9:45.
I sigh as I lay back down. I look up at the ceiling and then out of the window that my bed is next too. I can see Ashley's house. I wonder why I never knew that she lived there. I start to think of why I never noticed that.
When 10 came around, I figured that I didn't know because I hardly knew her when I was in 7th grade. I only saw her once or twice and that's when I was just beginning to question my sexuality. That and I never really hardly ever come to my dad's house. And if I do, I only go to the back yard.
It use to be the hang out spot. Now that it is being re-modeled to put a pool in that my dad promised when he first moved into this house.
I crawl out of bed and go to the bathroom. I stare at myself in the mirror. I close my eyes and sigh once more before I exit to go downstairs to see The Witch and my dad and Rylee.
They're all sitting down at the table. My dad is trying to shush Rylee and the Witch is rolling her eyes as she sips her coffee. "Hey." I say quietly as I sit down in the last vacant seat
"Morning Sweetie. Did she wake you?" My dad says as he kisses my forehead before he pours himself another cup of coffee
"No, Luke did." I tell them
The Witch made a noise like it was disbelief or something like that. I roll my eyes and ignore her. "Hey dad, I have something too tell you about soccer." I say excitedly
"Ugh, do you ever talk about anything else but soccer?" The Witch says coldly as she gets up from the table and walks into the other room
"Forget her sweetie. What is it about?" My dad asks me.
I look at the man standing in front of me. I smile at him, "I made varsity." I tell him quietly
"Congratulations!" He said pulling me into a standing position and hugging me
I hug him back, "This deserves a celebration lunch." He pulls back with a smile
I give him a shy smile back. "Thanks dad." I say
We went to lunch that afternoon and it was ok. It wasn't fun because of Susan. She just had to come because she says she loves me. What a bunch of bull dung. Yes, I said dung.
When we got home, there was a note on our front door. I got to the door first with Rylee, but she couldn't reach the note. Too short.
I grab the note off of the door and I read it. It said that our pool was done. And good thing, it's a hot one today!
"Dad! The pool is done and ready to swim in!" I yell to him anxious to go swimming
"Can we go swimming daddy?" Rylee asked him as he walked up the 3 steps to our front door. I handed him the paper and he read it himself. Rylee and I watched him read it and then smile and nod.
"Yes!" Rylee and I said in unison.
He opened the door and we went to our rooms to change. I put on my Roxy bikini. It was all black; both pieces, and the edges were outlined with a cute color pink. It looked really cute. I grabbed a towel from the bathroom and ran downstairs. My dad and Rylee were already in.
I smiled as I walked out of the sliding door. My dad got out and started to walk to me. "What are you doing?" I asked him setting the towel down
"Im reaching for a towel." He said reaching for a towel. He brought it up slowly as I walked pasted him. All of a sudden he picked me and threw me in.
"AH! Dad!" I said laughing coming up from out of the water
My dad laughed, "You should never believe a Carlin." He said and did a cannonball into the water, splashing me and Rylee
We laughed as he broke the surface, "Spencer!" I whipped my head around to see the Witch saying my name, "Go get the bags of groceries from the car." she said sternly sitting down in a chair
I sighed as I got out of the pool and walked inside. Not even bothering grabbing a towel. I walked outside and started to make my way over to the car. I got to the car and opened the door. I looked over at Ashley's house and she was outside with Madison. Ashley saw me. I am so happy that I have a nice even dark tan, and great abs right now. I grabbed the two bags of groceries that Susan just couldn't grab when she was out here.
I take one more look over at them and Ashley is still staring. I smiled shyly at her and walked back inside. I set the bags on the counter and walked back outside. "Hey dad! Can I invite a friend over?" I ask him
"Who? Rachel?" He asked
I shook my head, "Um no. Ashley. She lives across the street." I tell him
"Oh that stuck-up spoiled rich kid?" Susan said getting up from her chair
"She's not stuck-up and she's not spoiled." I tell her sternly.
"Spence." My dad said and I rolled my eyes. "Yes you can invite her." He tells me and then throws Rylee. She barely even made a splash
I walked back inside and back to the front. I walked outside and Madison was leaving. She must of spent the night. I waited on the front porch until she was gone until I walked over to Ashley. I watched Madison's mom drive away and Ashley started to walk back to her house.
I got up from the chair I was sitting in and walked down the front yard. Right before Ashley walked inside her house I called her name. She turned around and I was already in her front yard. Ok, so I did run a little bit. She looked at me with a smile on her face, "Um hey." She said once again looking my body up and down. I'll pretend I didn't see it because she probably doesn't know that she's doing it. "Hey. You wanna go for a swim?" I ask her
"Right now?" She asks finally focusing on my face
"No in a couple of weeks." I say with a smile and I flick some water on her
"Hey! Ok ok I'll go." She smiled at me and walked inside. "You can come in you know." She said coming back out for a second.
I follow her in her house. Luckily I dried off some to where I wasn't dripping water anymore. I follow her up to her room. Her room is the same boring white color as my room at my dad's. Someone needs to tell her that colored bedrooms are in. I watch her go to her dresser and pull out a yellow bikini with white poka-dots on it. She walks into her bathroom and changes.
While she changes, I look around her room. I notice some pictures on her dresser. One of them are with her best friends, Madison and Chelsea of course. Another one is a picture of her and who im assuming is her boyfriend. I really hate that guy. Even though I don't know him, or his name, or what he's like. Grr.
I look at another picture of them and I made a face to him. Why? I don't know either. I just made a face at him. I heard Ashley laughing and I turned around and my cheeks started to turn red, "Im taking you don't like Aiden?" Oh so he has a name.
"Who?" I say playing dumb and then I realized that she was in a bikini. She had a dark even tan like I did. Her body was perfect and very toned. I realized that I was checking her out when she cleared her throat.
My cheeks turn really red and now I couldn't even look at her. I just turned around and looked at the pictures again. I was holding back my smile and that was really hard. Especially when she came up next to me. "So um… I guess I'll just pretend I didn't see that and you do the same." She tells me
I turn to her and we were about a half a foot from our bodies touching. My heart actually started to pound harder and I really hope that she cant hear it. I noticed that she was just as tall as me, 5'6". I can smell the French vanilla from here. "Um… yeah, ok." I say finally.
We both turn and our hands brush. I don't think she felt the electricity that went through my hand when she just barely touched it. I took a slightly deep breath and we made it into my back yard. My dad was just getting out and he walked over to us. I stood behind Ashley, "What are you doing?" She asked me
"Yeah, what are you doing?" my dad asked with a smile
"Being thrown into a pool!" I hear from behind me. I turn around quickly and it's my brother Glen. He ran over to me and picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
There was no way I was getting down, so why fight him. I look over at Ashley and she's laughing at me. I glare at her and then Glen threw me in. When I broke the surface, I heard Ashley yelp. I look at her and Clay has her over his shoulder. I was laughing at her this time, "Shut up Carlin!" She laughed and then landed into the water
We all swam for a good 3 hours. It was a lot of fun until Ashley had to go home. I walked her home and at her door she told me, "Remember… not a word." She smiled at me
I nod to her and she smiles a goodbye and shuts the door. I sigh with a smile as I turn around and head back to my house.
We all ate dinner and hung out watching a movie afterwards. I fell asleep in the middle of it.
Sunday was just a boring day. Nothing happened. I went back to my mom's house and called my friends back.
Monday was here now. I woke up, got ready and ate. Today, I was officially a freshman. I wore a really cute navy blue Hollister top, denim jeans, and flat shoes. My hair was down. I grabbed my black Jansport backpack. I was ready for school.
I got to school and met up with Rachel and Abby. We walked to the gym to get our schedules. After we all got our schedule, we went to look for our classes. We got there early so we could find our classes so we wouldn't be late or get lost. My schedule was:
1- Biology Dixon
2- Dance Sims
Break
3- Language Green
4- Math York
Lunch
5- Social Studies Brown
6- PE Allen
At least I'll have my soccer coach as my PE coach. I headed off to my first class. Rachel was in my 2nd and 5th period class. Abby was in my 4th and 6th period class. I so hope that I have friends in my other classes!
I sit down in the back of the room in a desk thing. It's not really a desk. It's more like a table type thing. There are two stools at the table/desk thing and then another table/desk with another two stools. It's a cold room. I knew I should of brought a jacket. I rub my hands up and down my arms.
A few other kids come into the room. I don't know any of them. They look like sophomores. Great, I'll be taking classes now with upperclassmen.
I pull out my phone and turn it on vibrate and put it back into my back pocket. I rub my arms with my hands again. "Hey, you cold?" I turn to see who it is. It was Luke. I smile at him as he sits down and hands me his jacket.
Great. He's in this class and he's going to be sitting next to me. That's just what I need. I saw Madison and Chelsea sitting up front. At least if I wanted, they could save me.
First period went by quickly. I met up with Rachel so we could walk to 2nd together. "Is that Luke's jacket?" She asked me as we took a seat in a metal chair that was on the dance floor. I nod with a fake smile. I look around the room to see if I know anyone.
I know a lot of these people in this room. Half of them hate me because im dating Luke and the other half I hate because they're stuck up, self-centered, people. Ugh, this is going to be one long year.
Ok there it is. Next chapter will have the rest of the school day and maybe soccer? I don't know.
