4. You what?!!
I sat down at the lunch table. Cara was practically hanging on Preston. "What I was going to say was tha-" Preston was saying but shut his mouth when Jace sat down next to me. Weird. We all ate and nobody talked. "Hey Cambrey can I talk to you by you locker?" he asked me. "Sure." We walked outside to my locker. "I wanted to tell you something very important." he told me and looked straight at me.
He picked up one of my hands and held it in his. What in the world did this boy think he was doing? He could get his butt kicked for doing that. "I like you, a lot." he told me. He what!!? "You what?!!" "I like you." he repeated. Is that what Preston wanted to tell me? Wow.
"So do you want to go on a date?" he asked. I smiled. I misewell do it he is going to find out anyways. "I'll pick you up at seven." he said. "Ok." I said as he walked away.
I walked outside as he pulled up. It was seven. My brothers already knew I was going on a date and were freaked, but they took it ok after that. "Hello Cambrey." Jace said as he opened the door for me. "Hi Jace." I responded. He drove for a little while and pulled into my favorite restraunt. It was a hamburger joint. It was a 'seat yourself' place. We sat down in a booth and started talking. "So tell me about your family." he said. Great just what I wanted. Him to know about my jumbo jet family on our first date.
I took in a breath and started. "Well my mom and dad are divorced. I get to see him every summer, he lives in Iowa." I explained. That seemed normal so far. Just wait Jace, just wait. I went on. "I am one of eight." I said and waited for him to go into a state of shock. He didn't. "Really! That's so cool." Oh that was new.
"Mallory is first she is in college. Then come my twin sisters Lauren and Lydia who are also in college. Then comes Landon. He is a senior in high school and on the basketball team. After Landon is Blake. He is a senior in high school to. He is on the track team at school. Then Chase who is a junior in high school. He is on the baseball team. Next down the line is Devon the youngest of my brothers. He is a sophomore in high school and on the football team. Then finally there is me and I'm on the track team like Blake." That is the un-normal part.
"That's cool Cambrey I always wanted a big family they're exciting." he said. "Define exciting Jace." I said and we laughed. He drove me home and said we would talk about my family later. He apparently likes my family. Good.
I was happy. I had my first date tonight and I loved it. I'm glad he liked my family.
