New Year and a new chapter, woohoo! No long intros, woohoo!
Chapter 5- work, work, work and some fun (Vanessa P.O.V)
So after the whole Pikey/ Jonathon thing I learned two things: one, to never laugh in front of Jonathon, because he gets angry like mad, and number two; never say ask him how he's doing, I learned that the hard way. After twenty minutes of Zac and me trying to make Jonathon talk a bit, I gave up. That kid is just weird I tell you; it's like trying to talk to a brick wall. So I did what I had to do…I called Ashley down, to talk to him. Trust me she knows what to do. "Hey Vanessa, I'm ready to talk some sense into him where is he?" Ashley asked with determination in her voice. "uhm…there" I pointed to Jonathon who now regained his previous position, sitting in his mother's lap as If he was an injured bird, all innocent looking. Gosh I hate that kid.
"Oh the typical baby kid, I'll sort him out. What we do is, we corner him right, and then we threaten him to get beaten up, if he doesn't talk. Always works like a charm" Ashley said. Well I wasn't really sure whether if it was going to 'help' him talk or just scar him for life. "Are you sure that's even legal, If Dr. Westerfield finds out, we are toast" Zac said as he made his to the other side of the room. Me and Ashley didn't really want to look suspicious you know, so we just walked over to the other side of the room and started whispering in hushed voices. Like that doesn't scream out "hey look these people are up to something!"
"Yeah I have to agree with Zac on that one Ash, It sounds kind of rough. Why don't we all invite Jonathan to dinner to a restaurant he likes, sans his mum?" I suggested. It was a long shot, but I doubt Jonathon would overlook free dinner. Ashley gave me a dirty look, which was kind of funny as it showed that I was right. "Yeah let's go ask him" Zac said. "Have you forgotten something thing? That pike fish doesn't talk to anyone! I wouldn't mind to beat him up at all really…" "No Ashley" Zac and I said at the same time. "Fine, all you guys do is work, work and work but no fun" Ashley said quite sulkily.
So eventually after minutes or coercing, mostly by the courtesy of Ashley, Jonathon finally caved in. I don't know if it was the fear or Zac's bribing. Thanks to him, we owe Jonathon a new bike. Great! After Jonathon left, we all high fived due to our sudden happiness but unfortunately Dr. Westerfield picked that exact moment to come in to the room. Way to ruin the moment, geez! "I am sure you young people are aware that this is a hospital and I expect you to be mature, not foolish! Especially you Dr. Tisdale; I would like to speak to you in my office immediately" Dr. Westerfield bellowed.
Not again, I think I hate her even more than Dr. Perkins. "But we weren't doing anything bad. It's not our fault!" Ashley protested, her lips quickly turning to a frown. "No buts! You aren't children anymore and Dr. Efron, I'm watching you too. Dr. Tisdale do not keep me waiting, I have more important things to do" Dr Westerfield said as she swiftly walked out of the room. She is so heartless, seriously who recruited her anyway! "See you later Ash, you're going home with me right?" I asked her. "Yes, for the sleepover, thanks Nessa again, it's one thing I'm looking forward too. God rest my soul" Ashley said before leaving the room. I hope God does let her escape from the evil wench aka Dr. Westerfield.
"So it's just you and me huh?" Zac asked as he came closer to me, which meant I automatically took a step back. "Yes" That's all I could think off. Wow I was in deep! "So I was thinking next Saturday perhaps you and I could go to the movies or something?" He said. Is he actually asking me out? Is this a dream? Are there 24 pairs of chromosomes in our body? Yes the answer is yes! Well apart from the dream thing anyway. "Are you asking me out? As on a date?" I blurted out (stupidly). He came even closer to me so now, I was standing against the bookshelf and he slowly put his arms on the either side of my face and leaned in closer. "Yes, yes I am" He whispered. Wow his eyes were such a pretty shade of blue. What shall I say? I hadn't even consulted Ash yet on this matter. You know what? Maybe I do just work, work and work and don't have any fun.
"Yes I will" I replied with a big smile on my face. Wow I really am venturing into the unknown. It felt good. "Great, I'll pick you at seven" He said, still standing close to me. "That will be…great" I responded and slowly moved his arms from either side of me and walked out of the room before he had a chance to do anything else. Boy, I am getting good at this. Internal high five for me! Ok, that's a bit nerdy but whatever.
"How was the tea party with Dr. Westerfield?" I asked Ashley with an innocent look on my face, once we were seated in the car. "Oh it was great! Not. I really want to slap her. She was even so forward to say that I was losing my focus just because I looked happy and seemed as If I was enjoying life. Sue me for being happy" Ashley ranted. "I'm sure she didn't mean to offend you like that. No I take that back, she probably would and she's probably filing a lawsuit as well. Tough luck kiddo" I responded cheerily; I sounds completely different, I bet Ash has noticed by now. Three…two…one and bang! "You sound chipper, who's rocked your boat darling?" I ignored that comment and carried on. "Well If you must know, after you got sent to that witch's office, Zac asked me out and I said yes" I summarised. Ash gets a bit impatient when I start rambling.
"Stop the car" Ashley said calmly. Wait is she actually telling me or is she joking. Is she freaking crazy? "What?" I asked confused. By the time she could respond I actually stopped the car in the driveway anyway because we were home. "Well, it's stopped anyway, although It wasn't as dramatic" I mumbled. I took my stuff out and walked up to the door and unlocked it but Ashley was still sitting in the car, staring into space. Is this shock looked like? I quickly dumped my stuff in the hallway and walked up my car and opened the door. "Helloo, we are home, you can come out you know, you don't need to sit here all night" I said whilst shaking her slightly. Then she came back to reality and got out of the car, thank Goodness! I don't know what would've happened if she stayed like that.
"I can't believe you are going out with Zac Efron. Wow. I never thought in a million years, this would happen" She exclaimed. "So are you implying I would have ended up as an old maid with fifteen cats?" I said, crossing my arms to show my irritation. She just looked at me and in a blink of an eye she was suddenly hugging me…really tightly. "Cant…breathe…too tight!" I wheezed as I tried to get out of her grasp. "Oh sorry, I'M JUST SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" She shouted. I pushed her inside before anyone would come outside and create a scene. Good times.
This is it for today! Decided to make it longer…and again my timetable is quite restricted as I got exams coming on again. So more revision and less distractions really from now on. I will finish this story eventually. Thanks for reading and reviews will be appreciated. Thank you!
