Chapter 3
Zeke's POV
Luther and I were at the Duncan's old house. We ambled up the front steps and Luther reached out to ring the doorbell.
The door clicked open and her mom appeared in the doorway.
"Boys! Come on in, I haven't seen you in forever," Mrs. Duncan ushered us inside.
She led us to the kitchen table and we sat down.
"I'm going to go see if Teddy's ready," Mrs. Duncan smiled at us.
She walked out of the kitchen.
Suddenly we heard her screaming up the stairs, "Teddy! The boys are here!"
"She doesn't change, does she?" I whispered to Luther.
"Nope," he said, popping the 'p'.
"Coming!" I heard Teddy call back.
"Woah, her voice sounds exactly like Olivia's," I told Luther.
"See what I mean?" Luther responded.
Then, we heard footsteps coming down the stairs and Teddy came into the kitchen.
My jaw dropped. The resemblance between her and Olivia was uncanny.
Teddy's eyes lit up when she saw me, "Zeke!" she exclaimed.
Teddy ran around the table to give me a hug, "Now, the trio is all back together."
"Yeah," I laughed, hugging her back.
Luther smiled, "Hey, Teddy!"
"Hey," she gave him a hug, too, "So, what're we gonna do?"
Luther and I exchanged grins.
"Skateboarding, of course!" Luther answered.
Teddy rolled her eyes, "Of course. I haven't tried in like eight years, though."
The three of us got into skateboarding when we were seven. A little young, but we loved it.
"It'll be fine," Luther assured her, "You were great when you were younger. Besides, Zeke and I are pros now; we can help you out. We have a sponsorship with Riot."
"Congratulations!" Teddy exclaimed, "One sec, let me see if I can find my old skateboard and stuff. Besides, I have to change."
She gestured to herself, "This is not going to cut it."
She was wearing a purple flowy sundress...not ideal for skateboarding.
"Okay," we replied.
She left the kitchen.
Fifteen minutes later, Teddy reappeared wearing a yellow tank top and jean shorts, her hair tied up in a loose ponytail.
She was holding her old skateboard and helmet, "Okay, let's go," she said.
We headed to Ramps.
Luther and I hopped on our skateboards immediately while Teddy fastened her helmet and tentatively got on hers.
After spending a little while getting used to the feel of the board again, Teddy tried some skateboarding tricks.
"Woo!" Luth and I cheered when she landed a kick flip.
After a few hours of skateboarding, we walked back to Teddy's house.
"I had so much fun, guys!" Teddy said, giving us hugs, "We have to hang out again."
We exchanged cell phone numbers.
"Definitely," Luther said.
"Yeah," I agreed.
Teddy smiled at us and headed inside her house.
Luther and I went back to my house.
We opened the front door and a bucket of water got dumped on our heads.
"Ha ha, losers!" Ginger laughed...or cackled. That girl is evil.
But, I have to say that this wasn't her worst.
"What was that for?" I asked, shaking the water out of my hair.
"I had to get a prank in before tomorrow," she scoffed.
"What's tomorrow?" Luther asked.
"Apparently, I have to hang out with Gabe or someone tomorrow. His mom called our mom and they planned it. We used to be best friends or something...when we were three," she rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
Ginger ran off to her bedroom.
Luther and I exchanged looks and shrugged.
I could never understand that girl.
Luther and I headed to my room. At least it's Ginger-proof and we wouldn't have to deal with her.
My phone rang and I picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hi Zeke!"
It was Stella. I smiled into the phone and my heart soared.
"Who is it?" Luther mouthed at me.
"Stella," I mouthed back.
Luther then pointed towards the door, "I'll just leave, then," he whispered.
I nodded and he left.
"Hey Stella, isn't your show right now?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's intermission, though," she answered.
"How's it going?"
"It's going great," Stella said, "the crowd is loving us! How is it in Gilroy?"
"Fine. Actually, today, Luther and I ran into an old friend of ours from eight years ago. She looks exactly like Olivia. It's like the resemblance between Luther and Wen," I told her.
"I'll be sure to tell her she has a twin," Stella laughed.
"It's only been a few hours, but it's great to hear your voice," I said truthfully.
"It's nice to hear yours, too," Stella said softly.
"On stage in two minutes," I heard a muffled voice say in the background.
"Sorry, Zeke, I have to go. Miss you," Stella apologized.
"Miss you, too," I answered, "Go and have a revolution."
"As always," she answered.
The line clicked off and Stella was gone.
I sighed. Maybe this long distance relationship wouldn't be as easy as I hoped.
That was Chapter 3! I hope you enjoyed it. I think there will be Gabe/Ginger in the next chapter...we'll see. Please read and review!
