Chapter 7 (Madison)
Reagan made me keep him waiting for five minuets wich maded me mad because for some reason I was looking forward to seeing him. We had actually had fun today, makeing silly faces, jokeing about bad acting, it was not what I expected. He was not what I expected. He wasn't the humerless know-it-all I had expected. He was funny and sweet, and oh my gosh! What are you thinking Madison? I'll just forget thoes thoughts ever entered my head.
After Rayray finally let me go down stairs I saw that Ned was helping Ham buld that laptop of his. When they looked up at me Ned looked at me like I was the most beautiful girl in the world. It's just acting I told myself. Hamilton wispered something incohearint and Ned quickly looked away, a flash of anger went through me tward Hamilton.
"Umm, hi Madison," he said finally looking back at me.
I smiled a real smile, "Hey Ned."
"So...um.." he looked a little lost. Good acting I told myself again.
"Movie?" I reminded him.
"Yeah, the cab is waiting," I went twards him and out the door.
In the cab I took a piece of paper and pen out of my purse, "Good acting," I wrote. "For a minuet there I actually thought you liked me."
He then took the paper and wrote, "You wish. And your acting could have been better, much better."
Jerk. How am I going to get back at him? Oh! I know, "Oh please, you still can't take your eyes off me."
He rolled his eyes before writing, "Then how did I read that?"
I crumpled the paper and the rest of the ride to the movie was an ocward silance with no notes. The first 5 minuets of siting in the movie theater were no better, then I saw the lisining device in my cup holder and knew I needed to say something. Oh, what was I going to say? I looked at his shirt and saw insperation, "You like mythbusters?"
"What?" he asked then looked at his shirt. "Oh, yeah. Do you?"
"They make something explode in almost every episode, so yes."
He laughed, "Yep the perfect ballence of science and explosions."
I laughed too. Soon our conversation wasn't forced at all, and I was actually a little disapointed when the movie started. It was so strainge. I always thought of Ekats as brainiacts who didn't care about anything becides grades and makeing the Tomas look stupid. I never thought of them as people. I never thought of them as haveing feelings. I never thought I'd have feelings for one. WHAT? I almost jumped out of my seat screaming my head off at that last thought.
It is a dasease! This was supost to make my family un-change, not change me! How did this happen? Me likeing an Ekat? Okay as I see it there are two game plans:
1. Admit to my feelings and see if he returns them. Not careing that I will be changeing like I was scared my family was doing.
2. Deny everything in hopes of whatever this is goes away!
No brainer, game plan 2. Then I froze as he grabed my hand. Does that mean he does like me? No, it's the plan. The plan that's so not good for me, but if I quit now it won't help my family. Wait. The plan. The one were he has to kiss me on the cheek? Oh crud.
