Chapter 6
Annabelle heard the last bell of the day and sprang up out of her desk. She hurried to her locker and then out the front entrance of the school to wait for Adam. Annabelle pulled out her cell phone to send Clare a quick message. So, me and adam are talking again! Going to his house today!. She smiled down at the message and hit the send button. She looked up from her cell to see Adam walking towards her with a goofy smile on his face. "So, you ready?" He asked as he got closer. "Sure am, are we walking?" She said as he stood next to her. "Well, normally my mom would pick me up, but Drew has practice so I thought we could walk." Annabelle nodded. "Sounds like fun." She said as they began the ten minute walk to his house.
"So, is your mom going to freak when I show up there? I mean because she didn't know I was coming?" Annabelle said as they got closer to his house. "Hm, probably but that's the fun part." Annabelle smiled widely at him. He's so cute, she thought to herself. "Well, here we are." Annabelle looked up to see a cute little house. Hmm, this is where he lives, she thought to herself as he opened the front door for her. "Mom, I'm home." Adam yelled loudly so his mom could hear. "Do you want to meet her?" Annabelle nodded her head and he quickly led her upstairs to his mother's office. "Mom.." He said quietly as he knocked on the door. "Oh, Adam, you're home." Adam nodded slightly before ushering Annabelle into the room. "This is Annabelle, she's a friend from school." Annabelle smiled and extended her hand to Mrs. Torres. "It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Torres." She said sweetly. "It's nice to meet you too." Mrs. Torres said with a smile on her face. "Well, I'll let you get back to work." Adam said awkwardly. Annabelle followed him out of the room, she was curious about his relationship with his mom.
"That was completely awkward." Annabelle said as she entered Adam's room. She looked around and found a completely normal boy's room. She honestly didn't know what his room would look like, but was happy with what she found. She sat down on the corner of his bed and turned to look at him. "So, was it just me or was there some tension between you to?" She said apprehensively. Adam nodded. "Yeah, she's trying to, uh, accept things, but it's hard." Annabelle bit her lip. "I'm sure things will be good eventually." Adam sat down next to Annabelle and she smiled. "So why exactly did you invite me over?" She questioned him. "I want to apologize for being an ass." Annabelle let out a small laugh. "Water under the bridge." She said sweetly to him. "But don't do it again." He nodded at her. "So I'm forgiven?" He asked her with a smirk on his face. "Absolutely." She smiled at him and pulled him into a hug much like the one they shared earlier. Annabelle knew with was the beginning of a very special friendship.
Annabelle followed Adam downstairs and outside onto the front porch, where they waited for the pizza they had ordered to arrive. "I haven't had pizza in so long." She said with a laugh. "Why not?" He replied. "Well, I was watching my weight for awhile." She said nervously. The truth was that for quite awhile she had body image problems and she was terrified to tell him, but she knew she needed to be honest with him. "Actually Adam for awhile I was obsessed with my weight, but not anymore. I've learned to just be me and not care what people think." Annabelle smiled at him. "Maybe that's why we get along so well, we both just want to be ourselves and not care about anyone else." She nodded happily. "Oh pizza time." She said quietly as the pizza man walked up with the pizza. "Want to eat out here?" Adam said with a smile. "Sounds like a plan." She replied happily.
They sat on Adam's front porch and ate the yummy pizza together, just the two of them, and Annabelle couldn't have been happier. Annabelle took her last bite and cleared her throat, "That was delicious." She said with a toothy smile. "You certainly are a good cook." They both laughed together. "Only the best." Annabelle took out her phone and looked at the time and realized it was almost time for her to be home. "Wow, it's already that late." She said quietly. She knew she didn't want to leave and the thought of going back to the empty house just made her upset.
Adam stood up in front of Annabelle and offered her a hand up, which she gladly took. "I had a good time, Adam." She smiled as his name ran off her tongue. Adam nodded and looked around nervously. "Is something wrong?" Annabelle was nervous, had she said something wrong? "Oh, no. Everything's perfect." Annabelle saw the adorable smile spread across his face. "You have a cute smile, ya know?" Adam blushed instantly, just what she wanted. "Th..thank you." He stuttered out. "Well Adam, sadly I have to go, but I'll see you tomorrow right?" She looked up at him and smiled. He was about four inches taller than her, the perfect height in her opinion. "Yes you will." Annabelle smiled once more at the boy before feeling his arms wrap around her in a tight hug. He let her out of his arms, but they were both frozen. Annabelle stared up into his eyes and he back into hers. Adam inched his face closer to hers and pressed a soft, warm kiss on her lips. He pulled back and smiled. "Bye Adam." She said as she turned to walk away from the boy that she knew was special.
