Kale Suit Part III

A few hours have passed and I find myself with my feet in the pool sitting next to Amy.

We are having a blast talking about random things in our lives.

She has tells me about her mom who just got married and she has an evil stepsister. She enjoys photography and she has a professional camera. She wants to be a professional photographer when she grows up and maybe have her own photo gallery. She likes to go on hiking trails and take pictures of random flowers. She also told me that it is difficult to adjust to Austin and that she left a lot behind in Dallas.

I told her about my parents and my brother Zen. How I wish I could be just as good as Zen and that we could be close. I tell her about my love for music and how I want to own a music store one day. I want to teach kids how to play instruments and maybe get over my stage fright. I tell her that I love playing my guitar and write my own songs.

"Maybe one day I can hear you sing?" I nod.

"And maybe one day I can see your photos? I ask. She blushes and nods her head.

"Let's play a game!" I ask. She gives me that look like really? We start asking questions back and forth.

"Favorite food?"

"Donuts!"

"Favorite color?"

"Blue"

"Favorite TV show?"

"House hunters!"

"House Hunters?" I ask. I start to laugh! That is the most adorable thing I have ever heard.

"Yes! What is so funny?" She nudges me on the shoulder.

"Nothing, it just that isn't a really good show. You don't like drama?"

"It could be! When the house remodel doesn't turn out right or something goes wrong it gets intense!"

I look at her and she smiles at me.

"Fine what TV show do you watch?" She asks her hands on her hips.

"Keeping up with the Kardashians" I say letting out a giggle.

She rolls her eyes.

"You need to watch real shows Karma! I need to show you my Netflix."

I stare at her.

"You have Netflix! I watch it religiously!"

"Ha ha, okay than one night you can come over and we can binge watch shows, deal?" She asks hold her unoccupied hand out. I think she just asked me on a date. I am trying not to get my hopes up. So I go along.

"Deal" I reply shaking her hand.

I know I just met this girl but I feel the instant electricity between us and I want to know every possible thing about her. Our fingers are still intertwined and I love the feeling it gives me.

"Amy! It's time to go home!"

Amy and I turn around and see Lauren Cooper standing in the doorframe with her hands on her hips. I instantly move my hand from Amy and she seems to notice and looks at me questioning.

Amy turns back to Lauren.

"Give me a second!" She yells back.

Lauren just rolls her eyes and gives me a smirk.

Amy is standing up and grabbed my arm to help me get up. We are standing face to face.

"How do you know Lauren?" I ask looking down.

"She is my evil stepsister"

"Oh" is all I could say. Great, my new friend or whatever she is is related to the girl who hates me.

Amy seemed to notice my worry and grabs my hands reassuring me that everything will be okay. I feel that spark again when she touched my hands.

"So I will see you Monday? I can show you around school?" I ask.

Amy smiles, "You might see me sooner Karma" She replies. She leans in and kisses my left cheek. When she moves away from me I instantly miss the feeling.

She gives my hands a tight squeeze before she walks towards Lauren. Lauren is obviously enjoying herself because she is giving me a smirk.

I sigh and think what she meant by seeing me sooner than Monday. Does she know about my parents? Maybe she will buy a smoothie tomorrow?
