Still the Sidekick (Henry Danger)

3. Henry's House

1/16
Today was Friday and after school I was going over Henry’s to watch ‘The Walking Orange’. I was so excited.

When I woke up I brushed my hair and curled it, then changed into a tee shirt that said ‘I love food’, and tucked it into a black skater skirt. I then put on my black converse over my ruffled socks, and ran down stairs.

I went over to the kitchen and poured myself some orange juice and a bowl of cereal. While I was eating my food my dad walked into the room.

“Good morning dad”, I said.

“Mornin’ Aubree”, my dad said. Right away my dad headed over to the coffee machine and made a cup.

“So I won’t be home after school tonight”, I said after taking a sip from my juice.

“Why not?”

“Because some kids at my new school invited me to go watch ‘The Walking Orange’ with them at their house.”

“Oh, okay then.” Dad left the room and walked back upstairs to his bedroom.

After I was done with my breakfast, I walked over to the coffee machine and made myself a to-go cup for school. While I was adding the cream and sugar there was a knock at my door.

I walked over to the door and looked through the peep whole…it was Henry. I swung open the door and smiled. “Hey”, Henry said.

“Uh, hey”, I said confused, “What are you doing here?”

“I thought you would like a friend to walk with to school”, Henry smiled, “Nice shirt.” I look at my shirt forgetting what I was wearing for a moment.

“Oh, thanks and okay sure.” I smiled, “Come on in.” I walked back to my coffee and put the lid on.

“Whoa, is that coffee?” Henry asked with a huge grin smeared on his face.

“Uh…yeah.”

“Can I have some?”

“Sure”, I said going over to the mug cabinet. I took out on of the few mugs that we had, considering that we had just moved and walked back over to the coffee machine.

I poured in the coffee. “How do you like it?”

“Good…?” Henry said. I didn’t understand that, so I just made it the way I like it; sweet and creamy.

I handed him the mug and took a giant gulp. My jaw almost dropped when he had drank almost the whole thing in less than 30 seconds.

“That was fast”, I said.

“That was really good”, Henry said smiling.

I looked at the time on my phone and saw the time, 6:30.

“Oh crap, we got to go”, I said to Henry. Henry nodded and I grabbed my backpack.

While Henry and I were walking to school, Henry decided to talk. “So what do you like to do on your free time?” Henry asked me.

I had to think about that for a moment. I like to write, design, color, and draw, watch TV, play video games, skateboard… I had so much I could think of.

“I like to draw, watch TV, gaming, skateboarding, designing, etcetera”, I said to Henry.

“Oh cool”, Henry said, “What kind of design?”

“Like fashion…web…video…you name it”, I said, “I’m not that good at most, fashion and web designing I’m best at, but I like every kind.”

“That is really cool. You should show me something sometime.”

“Really?” I asked.

“Yeah, it sounds neat”, Henry said smiling.

“Okay”, I smiled, “So what are your hobbies?”

~Henry’s Point of View~

I really thought that Aubree was really cool. She had so many hobbies. But what are my hobbies. Oh you know…I just fight crime on my spare time.

“Me?” I ask. She nods. “Oh, uh…I like skateboarding and playing video games too. That’s it really. I’m nothing special.”

“Cool, maybe one day I can kill you on a game or something”, Aubree said smiling.

“Really Aubree? If anything you’ll be the one dying”, I smirk.

“It’s just Bree. And sure Henry, sure you will”, she said giggling. I couldn’t help but think that her laugh was so cute.

Just then she stops walking and takes out a purple and teal penny board from her bag. She drops it on the ground and jumps on. She looks over at me and then skates away.

“Au-Bree!” I yell running after her. She laughs and keeps riding, doing little tricks on her way down the road.

School was over and we were all heading to my house. Jasper said he would meet us at my house later because he had to go home to get his huge bucket full of popcorn…typical Jasper.

When we got to the house Aubree couldn’t help but look all around my house. “Let me give you a tour”, I said to Aubree.

“Okay”, she said smiling.

“Char, we’ll be right back”, I said to Charlotte. She nodded and I brought Bree upstairs. I walked her through the hall, into Piper’s room, my parent’s room, the bathroom, and finally my room.

“Whoa”, is all Bree could say.

“Do you like it?” I asked her. She kept looking around while nodding to me.

“You room is so…cool”, Aubree said.

“Thanks”, I said scratching the back of my head. She finally turned back to me and looked right into my eyes.

Our eyes locked and we never looked away. It was…

~Aubree’s Point of View~

Perfect.

“Henry, are you done showing her around?” Charlotte yelled from downstairs.

Henry shook his head away from my eyes. “Uh, yeah, be down in a sec.”

“Let’s go”, I said to Henry. He nodded and we walked downstairs.

“That was an awesome episode!” Henry said.

“Right?” I yell.

“That episode made me sweat…more than usual”, Jasper said.

“Use your rag”, Henry said.

“Oh yeah, my rag!” Jasper took out a while piece of cloth from his pocket and rubbed it over his head. Gross…

“Hey I got to get back home”, I said to Henry.

“Okay, let me walk you home”, he said. I smiled.

“Sounds good.”

“We should get going too”, Charlotte said.

“Okay. See you guys later.” Henry waved goodbye.

“So how was your first time at my house?” Henry asked me.

“Pretty good”, I said.

“That’s good.” Just then there was a beeping sound. It was coming from Henry’s wrist watch.

“Uh, your watch is beeping”, I said pointing at it.

“Ugh, really Ray?” Henry yelled. “Uh…I mean, that’s what my watch is called… Anyway, I need to go. I’m sorry.”

He then runs off down the street. I turn to look at him. What was he doing, why was he just running off? I thought to myself. I had shrugged it off and kept walking. That was until I blacked out.
