soooo on with Ashlyn's story!
.~.
"Hey mom, sorry were late. I couldn't find Todd" I excused when we sat down at the table with mom, Carl, and Raven. Todd gaped at me in disbelief "what? Me? You were the one I found standing in a hallway spying on some club meeting! I was waiting outside for you"
"okay, okay. Kids calm down. It's fine, we havent even order our food yet" mom sushed us when some people started to glance our way.
"are they always like this?" Raven asked Carl raising her eyebrows. "only when they're arguing... which is most of the time." he chuckled.
I looked around the 'China Dragon'. It wasnt a five star restraunt, but it wasnt a fast food either. it was a nice change of pace, we used to eat at five star all the time when we lived in Miami. Carl owned a succseful chain of music stores called 'Strum Along'
"hello, welcome to China Dragon." I turned around, I didnt hear the waitress come up behind me "I'm Tina, and I'll be your server this evening." it was the same girl for earlier today, in the halway and in the choir room. Instead of her black leggings and dress, she wore an army green t-shirt and black skinny jeans. Her hair was pulled up into a slopy bun and held in place by chopsticks.
Tina didn't seem to recognize me, or she just didn't care. She went around the table getting everyone's order before dissapearing into the kitchen. We spent the rest of our evening chatting idly. Raven was attending Missisipi State University to get a degree in nursing. she was only here for this week before she had to go back.
Finally, near the end of our meals, we came around to the dreaded subject: Me and Todd's first day.
"so guys, do you like your new school?" Carl asked. I avoided eye conact with them by twirling the noodles arounf my fork and shrugged. Todd jumped right in "it was totally awesome. In second block, this guy named Jason put something in the teachers coffee so she got sick and had to leave. We didnt have to do anything for the rest of the class, and I met this one guy, Tyler, I have a couple of classes with him. He's pretty cool, we're gunna try out for the football team. I hope I make it, 'cause some of the cheerleaders are super hot."
My mom smacked his arm and scowled at him a little. I looked up when he said 'cheerleaders'. It reminded me how brittany wanted me to try out with her. I might as well bring it up "speaking of cheerleaders, I might try out"
My mother looked towards me like i was a total stranger "really? I thought you hated pep rallys and cheerleading. what made you change your mind?"
"well, I met this girl named Brittany, she id really nice. She's a cheerleader and she said I should try out with her. and I doubt I'll make the team, but whats the harm of trying?"
"Good! I'm glad you're trying, and if you and Todd make the teams, you can go to the games with him and keep an eye on him."
" I was a cheerleader in high school, maybe I could show you some thing before I leave. Give you a head start in learning stunts." My soon-to-be step sister added helpfully.
"why thats a great idea Raven! Thank you, Ashlyn would love the help!" my mother was beaming with pride. I rolled my eyes and finished my dinner as they moved on to talking about what we should do for Todd's upcoming birthday.
When we got home, Todd went straight to his room and Carl and mom curled up on the couch to watch a movie. Raven called me to her room, which was the office that we placed a blowup mattress in. There she showed me some little dance routines she remebered and taught me a few moves. By 10:00 we had about a third of the routine planned out.
I said my goodnights to everybody and climbed the stairs to my room. I quickly changed out of my jeans and sweater and into my pajamas. I crawled under the covers and reached over to tap the lamp's switch, eveloping the room in darkness.
