Chapter 6 ( Ned)
I was almost shakeing with nerves, and not for the reasons my siblings thought. I was not nervous that I would get something in my teeth or that I'd say something stupid infront of my date. Honestly I couldn't care less about thoes things.
What I was nervous about was that I couldn't make it convensing that I liked Madison (because I know Ted and Sinead'll be watching). This was going to be the hardest part. If we could convince them that we were actually dateing now the rest would be somooth sailing. If we couldn't, it probibly wouldn't work because they would be suspicious, not stuned.
As soon as Sinead had got back from her breakfast with them I high tailed it to the Holt's house, not the libary like I told Ted. It turns out Hamilton had football practice and Reagan had bellet, so we chose her house to "rehurse" as she called it.
First, sence nether of us really knew what happend on dates, we watched 50 of them in various movies. Then, Madison said that she heard you could tell if people really liked eachother by how they looked at the person. So we looked up pictures of celebraties we liked on the computer and took pictures of our expressions. Next we decided what we were going to do on the date, we picked a movie so we could keep a talking to a minamum. We also decided to get there half an hour early so it wouldn't look like we were trying to keep talking to a minamum. Finally we talked about other ways we could convence them it was a real date that wouldn't make us throw up. After much debateing we finally said that during the movie we would hold hands and when we said goodbye I would kiss her on the cheek. Our siblings better bye it.
Now it was only an hour before I would go pick her up, grab a cab and head to the theater. Then anther half an hour before we could stop talking and just watch the movie (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1). Then I would have to hold her hand and after that, shudder, kiss her cheek.
I wore a pair of kaki pants and a nice t-shirt as I held my breath before knocking on her front door. It was Hamilton who answered, unforchanitly. He was wairing blue jean shorts and a almost see through white tee that made me mad that I didn't work out more. "Hello," I said politly.
"So your Madison's date?" he didn't stop glaring at me.
"Yep," wow, if this is her brother, I'm glad her dad's out of town.
"And you're an Ekat?"
"Yes.." I was wondering where this was going.
He seemed to lighten up a little as he said, "Good, I need your help with something."
A Hamilton Holt asking for my help? This is...strange. "What with?" I asked carefully as I folowed Hamilton into the liveing room.
It suprized me when I walked in the liveing room and found it full of computer parts. "Well, I thought I could make a few improvements on a common laptop and I figured out how but..." he tariled off.
"But what?"
"Well...there's this one part I can't get because my hands are the perfect size for catching a football, not working with small computer parts."
"Oh what do you need me to do?"
After five minutes of helping Hamilton Madison finaly came down. She was wareing a black jacket over a white top that flattered her figure with black slacks and a simple silver neckless, her hair was lose and natural makeup. She looked good...for a Holt I mean. I could never think Madison Holt looked pretty compaired to other girls, but...wow. I would only really date her if we were the last people on Earth. Please, please, please-no Ned, get a hold of your self. This is just beause I was watching romance movies all day, and makeing fun of them like Sinead would never do, but Madison did.
I'll have to analize thoes thoughts later, right now I get to go on a date with Madison Holt. No, have to, have to go on a date with Madison Holt. "Dude, I get that you like my sister, but stop stairing," Hamilton wispered so Madison couldn't hear. I emeadutly looked away. Why had I been staring at Madison Holt?
"Umm, hi Madison," I greated.
She smiled and I felt my heart spead up a bit, "Hey Ned."
"So...um.." I felt at lost for words.
"Movie?"
"Yeah, the cab is waiting," she walked tward me as I said this and we walked out the door.
