AHOY SAILORS! sorry for the hiatus...school is crap and i hate AP world history. I'm actually procrastinating study for a huge test in that class to update...but yall are TOTALLY worth it : D
newsies: so continue the great story that is...CONFIDENCE!
"Caedy, you don't mind the Rent do you?" asked Aqua.
"Feel free to express any dislikes, K. This is your only chance to get out of being bombarded by the 'Obsession'. I didn't and yet the masterpiece grew on me," chipped in Tango.
"Actually, I don't mind Rent at all. I'm glad someone is into musicals too. At my old school I just got weird looks for bursting into song…"
"Ah, well no worries! Aqua over here does it like clock work."
"Do not. Just whenever I feel the need to whip out a few bars," the redhead retorted.
By this time the girls had arrived at the Elementary school. It was fairly small with kids running around aimlessly. It was obviously recess. The girls hopped out of the parked car and walked in with the other party of four boys. They all crowded into the tiny front office for visitors passes and headed down a hallway.
"So K, you ready to deal with the creatures from the deep?" queried Kyle, slinging his arm around her shoulder.
"Are they that horrible?"
"Let me tell you from personal experience," offered David, "I live with one and he's the most disgusting thing EVER," he stated his voice rising with every word as a class came in from recess.
"I am not disgusting Davey!" shrieked a young boy from the mass of elementary students.
"Atta way, Les! Don't let your mean, old brother push you around," cheered Jack, picking the boy up and giving him a hug.
"Les, this is Skitts' new sister, Caedy."
"Hi, lady. Davey's my brother. He's older."
"Hah, no kidding," Caedy replied with a grin. She glanced at Jack who had an odd look on his face. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. That exactly what I said to him when we met. Tone and all. I just found it odd," he answered.
"Come on, newbie. Lets go find good old Nigel," announced Aqua.
"Have fun with him today, A. Be patient with him," said Mush, giving his girlfriend a hug.
"Yeah yeah, sure sure," she muttered with a grin and grabbing Caedy's wrist, "Let's go girl."
Let's say Nigel did have some serious problems. He was defiantly the worst child Caedy had ever taken care of. When they were finally leaving to Caedy's relief, Aqua declared, "That was the best PALs day all year! Thank God for you Caedy."
"What the heck did I do? The kid threw Popsicle sticks at me half the time!"
"Oh, that's well behaved for him, believe me."
"I guess meeting a pretty new girl calmed him down for you, Aqua," said Jack unexpectedly. She gave him a look and smiled.
"Well, yeah Jackie-boy, Caedy is a nice looking girl…" started Aqua. I so don't need to hear this conversation. Caedy just rolled her eyes and climbed into Aqua's Jetta. As the driver got in Caedy asked, "Am I that obvious that I like him, Alissa? Really?"
"Well, yeah just a bit, Hun."
"But don't worry; it does seem to go both ways," reassured Tango.
"Meaning what, exactly?"
"Are you that oblivious? The moment I knew Jack had helped with your locker, he liked you. He likes to think of himself as some great hero who rescues damsels in distress. And not every girl he sees is a damsel in distress worth rescuing."
"But, he has a girlfriend," Caedy stated, confused.
"That does present a problem, but nobody likes her. I don't think even Davey likes her all that much. And he's her brother. She kind of forces herself on everyone and she ruined Davey and Jack's friendship in a way. Just be even-keeled and see where your friendship goes."
Caedy took that in and contemplated on it. She had done this before, just like every other girl. You have to perform as if he is your brother, nothing more. It kills you inside, but is has to be done to keep 'even-keeled', inconspicuous to the crush and others around you. The two cars pulled up to a Sonic and everyone piled out to eat on the tables. Caedy hung back while everyone else ordered.
"You not hungry?"
"Nah, Jack. Kinda but not that much. No use spending money on something I wont use."
"Well, I'm not exactly starving either, so lets spilt something."
Of course, being the healthy teenagers they were, Jack and Caedy decided on a giant order of tots and onion rings and two route 44 sodas. They joined the other high schoolers at a table and waited till the food came. As Jack took their order of fried heaven, Davey made a snatch for a tot. Jack swiped it away.
"Jack, give me some of your tots."
"No, go find your own."
"Wow, you two are mature," interjected Aqua, "Too many Napoleon Dynamite rentals…"
"Come on, Caedy. Let's go eat our tots in peace," retorted Jack, sticking out his tongue, picking up the food and walked away with Caedy following.
oooo lunch between caedy and jack:D heehee
