An hour later…
"Where do you want your stereo," Caleb asked, holding up the small boom box.
Sarah, who had been buried in books, looked up and said, "Umm…just leave it on the desk."
"Alright. Honestly, I don't know how you packed so much stuff into a couple of small cardboard boxes."
"Caleb, thank you so much for helping me get through all this stuff. I swear, I don't even remember why I brought some of these old things."
"No, it's fine. I'm glad to help but ummm…I wanted to ask you something." Sarah noticed the nervousness and hesitation in Caleb's and it worried her.
She gave him a warm smile and said, "Go on."
Caleb never took his eyes off the carpet as he asked, "Would you like to come to Nicky's?"
Sarah let out a breath of relief. "Is that it? Of coursed I'd love to hang out with you guys.
Well at least she'd hang out with me as friends. Caleb tried again, fighting off the knots in his stomach.
"No, what I meant was…Would you like to come to Nicky's with me as my date?" Say yes!
"Umm…well I guess that would be fun." He asked me out! He actually asked me out!!
"Great! You'll love Nicky's and you still have to meet Pogue and Reid." Sarah couldn't help but smile at Caleb's excitement.
"Let me just change and I'll meet you out front."
"K, I'll wait for you by my car."
Ten minuets later, Sarah was dressed in a black halter top that reached her midriff, dark blue skinny jeans and her favorite black boots. She saw Caleb leaning against a sliver mustang. Smiling, she made her way over to him and got the please of seeing his moth drop when he noticed her.
"Hi," she said shyly.
"Hi. W-wow, you look amazing."
"Thanks. So should we head over to Nicky's?"
"Oh-yeah, everyone's probably waiting for us."
Caleb opened the passenger side door for Sarah and then got into the drivers seat. Sarah watched the green Ipswich scenery pass by as they made their way down the old dirt road. The car ride to Nicky's was peaceful and quiet. Caleb had soft classical music playing in background. It sounded familiar to Sarah but she couldn't place a name with the song. Sarah saw a small building coming up with a large neon sign that said Nicky's in large, bold letters. Caleb parked the mustang between a large black SUV and a very impressive yellow Ducati. They went in and Caleb immediately spotted his friends sitting at their usual table. Tyler smiled at Sarah as she walked up to the table. A boy wearing a black leather jacket with long brown hair sat next to him. There was a girl in his lap with long, dark hair and mocha colored skin. She smiled at Sarah and then elbowed the biker boy whose lap she was sitting in and he looked up at Sarah with a confused look on his face: until he saw her lean in closer to Caleb.
"Hi guys," Caleb greeted them. "This is Sarah. She just transferred in." Caleb turned to Sarah and said, "Sarah this is Pogue Parry (pointing to biker dude). The girl sitting in his lap is his girlfriend Kate, and you already met Tyler."
"Hi." Wow! How timid did my voice sound just now!?
Just then a cute blond haired boy walked over and sat next to Tyler placing four drinks on the table. He eyes immediately went to Sarah's chest and he said, "Well, well, well. Who's this guys?"
Tyler, catching the inappropriate looks Reid was sending Sarah, smacked him across the head and everyone burst out laughing.
"Reid, this is Sarah. She just moved here so be nice. I mean it," Caleb replied sternly.
He just shrugged and gave Caleb the most annoying smirk ever and grabbed Tyler stating something along the lines of hitting a guy up for all his rich daddy's cash at pool and needing a partner.
Let me now what you guys think. I know it's a little rough but hopefully it'll get better.
