3. Meeting Jace
"ok so get to the diner at 6 sharp." Preston said to us as we walked back from lunch. "ok, ok!" I told him. It was like eighth time he had said that since this morning. His problem was us meeting Jace. He was so excited for all of us to meet him. I walked to my locker and got my books. Two more hours.
"I'm home! Can someone drive me to the diner at six?" I called as I dropped my backpack on the hook. "Why are you meeting a boy there?" Blake asked. "What's going on?" Landon asked and walked into the entry where Blake and I were standing. "Cammi is meeting a boy at the diner at six and wants one of us to drive her there." Blake answered him. That's no fair I didn't get to answer! Why do they jump to conclusions so quickly?
By that time Devon and Chase were standing with us. "I can't believe you started dating and didn't tell mom!" Chase said. Yeah I didn't tell mom because I am not dating! Idiot brothers. Then all of the sudden all of my brothers were talking all together about me dating. Wow my family is messed up.
I screamed to get their attention. They all looked at me wide eyed. "I am not dating guys. Preston wants Berkley, Paisley, Cara and I at the diner at six because he wants us to meet one of his new friends that moved here. Geez I can't even finish a sentence in this god forsaken household!" I yelled the last part. I went upstairs to my room. "I'll drive you Cammi." Devon called to me.
"I'm ready!" I yelled down the stairs. It was five forty-five. Preston wanted me to be a little early. Devon drove me there. "Have fun Carr." Devon said as I got out. I told him I would call him to come pick me up. He called me Carr because he wanted a different nickname for me when other family wasn't around. Devon was the one I was closest to.
"Carmi!" Preston yelled and I was pretty sure he whole diner could hear. Nice because I really wanted my arrival announced. Thanks Preston! "ok where is the famous Jace?" I asked and sat down I the booth. "that would be me." he said and waved his index finger in the air and smiled. My heart started pounding. He looked cute. Like not just cute, like I -just- hopped- out- of- a- Abercrombie- magazine cute. He had the green eyes I wanted and he had blonde hair. He was cute. Wait I think I already said that. Say something you idiot! "you must be Carmi." he said. Apparently it hadn't been more than a five seconds since I was daydreaming. "Cambrey actually." I told him. I extended my hand and he shook it.
"it's nice to meet you Cambrey." he told me. Everyone talked for an hour and drank milkshakes. I learned a lot about him. He had two siblings. One older brother and one little sister. His brothers name was Corey and his sisters name was Terri. He didn't know about my big jumbo jet family yet. Good thing right.
"so did you like Jace?" Preston asked the next day. "Yes why?" he sounded excited. "well I have a surprise for you." he told me. "what?" I asked. He didn't get to tell me though because the bell rang. "tell me at lunch." I called to him as Paisley and I walked into our classroom. He nodded at me. Surprise about Jace? Wonder what that meant.
