"You know, you didn't have to come all this way," Zoey told him smiling. "I could've managed." He just grinned at her.
"I'm not so sure about that. I was thinking of letting you go by yourself, but after you told me you didn't know the address, I thought it'd be better if I came with you."
She hugged him in thanks and as she did so, he draped his left arm casually across her shoulders. The two teens walked across the dry field into the house.
"Hi!" She called as she stepped through the front door. "I'm back! Sorry about earlier, I just needed some time!" She continued yelling to no one, hoping her announcement would reach all the occupants in the house. She stepped further ahead, walking into the kitchen as she dragged Josh by the hand. "Guys? You home?"
"Yea, Zoe. We're here. We were just reading the--Who is he?" Nicole stopped her gallop down the stairs as her eyes landed on the boy whose hand was currently attached to Zoey's.
"Zoe, you okay now?...Josh?" Emma came trotting down the stairs seconds after Nicole, a folded piece of notebook paper clutched in her hand. Her eyes narrowed as she glared at Zoey. The glare went unnoticed
"Oh hey, Em. You live here?" Without waiting for an answer, he turned to Zoey. "You friends with Em?" She nodded slightly.
"Yea, but I met her through her sister, Nicole." Zoey told him, pointing her finger at her brunette friend.
"Really? I didn't know Emma had a sister..."
"Well, I do. She's been away at school. What are you doing here, anyways?" Emma butted in, getting to the point.
"I brought Zoey here," He wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders. "She probably would be in the middle of Arizona right now if I hadn't come with her." Josh joked, flashing a grin.
"Anyways, my parents left." Nicole interrupted to avoid any unpleasentness. (A/N: Like that word?:P according to dictionary dot com it's an actual word:P)
"Huh?" Zoey's face screwed up in confusion.
"They left." Nicole repeated as she nudged her sister to hand Zoey the note her parents had left them. Zoey reached her hand out and took the note;
Nicole and Emma
Your father and I have gone out to a friends'. They still live in Kansas, so we'll be near if there's an emergency. We realized there wouldn't be much family togetherness time with your friends here, so we have decided to go to a party. We won't be home until late. Eat anything for dinner. We've asked Uncle Paul to come in and check on you kids later tonight.
Love, Mom
"Okay, well..." Zoey started but trailed off, not knowing what else to say.
"Let's go back up and play Truth or Dare!" Nicole suggested excitedly.
"No." Zoey and Emma said firmly, in unison.
"Why don't we watch a movie," Emma suggested as she, not even waiting for an answer, brushed past Zoey and Josh to pick out a DVD. "CHASE! WE'RE WATCHING A MOVIE!" She hollered upstairs, almost bursting the eardrums of Zoey and Josh.
"Oooooo! Can we watch High School Musical???"
"No, Nicole." Chase interjected as he decended down the staircase. The perky brunette looked around at the other people in the room, hoping one of them would tell her it was okay to watch it, and overpower Chase. Sadly for her though, no one spoke up.
"How about Step Up?" Emma suggested, holding up the DVD.
"Yay! Channing Tatum! Just as good!" Nicole scurried over to the leather couch and plopped herself down, eagerly.
"Hi, I'm Chase. Zoey's boyfriend." Chase introduced himself to Josh, holding his hand out for a handshake.
"You have a boyfriend?" The blond looked at Zoey, uncertainly.
"No," Zoey started, her voice cold. "I don't know what he's talking about." She shot him an icy glare before walking into the living room and taking a seat next to Nicole. She left Chase standing there, confused and hurt as Josh just pat him on the shoulder sympathetically and sat down next to Zoey.
"I'll get that." Chase choked out, still in shock after he heard a knock at the door. Without peeping through the peephole (A/N: Which all of you children should do before you open the door...haha) Chase opened the door, revealing a man swaying on the spot, looking as if he'd fall over any second, as he held a half drunk beer bottle.
(A/N: yay! that was fun -grins- I know, it WAS kinda short. But I wanted to end it there:P
GAHH I really wanna see Freedom Writers. But unfortunately, I can't. I saw like 4 movies during winter break and my parents banned me from going to the movies until spring break...haha
Hope you guys liked the chapter!!!!!! Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOELLE!!! Thank you, and goodnight...)
