The next morning I woke up and I did not hesitate to get out of bed unlike every normal morning. I had never been more excited in my life, I got up showered, brushed my teeth, then got dressed. I decided to eat something nutritional today. I ran down stairs and like usual my mom was passed out on the couch...I don't understand why she does this when she has a perfect house and kids...she could just leave my dad. We all know what he's doing. I blame him for my mom and family's problems.
But never mind that...I cleaned my mom up, ate , and then headed over to Nash's. I knocked quirky on the door, and before I was even done with the second knock the door was being pulled open. It was a little younger boy..I saw Nash come running down the stairs, he yelled at the boy "go away Hayes...its for me."
I liked the sound of that. Nash invited me in, but I really wanted to be outside so we went into his backyard and explored. There is a lakes that connects both of our yards back there and we sat there on the deck with our feet in the water! I decided it might be best to tell Nash I'm only in the eighth grade...just so he know. I started to speak but her interrupted me with "so how long have you lived in Kansas?" I had lived in Kansas for as long as I remembered...the last time I was out of the state it was just the next state over...Missouri! I replied quickly.."my whole life!" I saw his head turn out toward the water. I started to say.."so..Nash" his head turned toward me..."I just thought I would let you know..I'm only in the eighth grade!" Nash looked at me like I was weird. "Is you being in eighth grade a problem?" I replied "no...I mean if it's not for you!" It got quiet, we were both looking out at the water. It was beautiful. Suddenly I felt my thighs against him, he had moved toward me..he made the first move. I looked at him and smiled, he smiled back.
Me and Nash sat in that same spot for about an hour. I finally decided I was going to also make a move. I layed my head on his should, and he put his arm around me. Then I heard a yell from behind us, it was Nash's mom. Nash had to go, the moment I made a move he had to go. He told his mom he would be there in a second. Nash walked me to my front door and hugged me goodbye.
I walked inside and my dad was sitting on the couch, I started like a had never seen him before. I said "finally, you're home" Sarcastically. He looked at me and then looked away. I walked up stairs and then into my room. It was around 6:10pm when I heard my mom yelling at my dad. My siblings and I always went about our day when that happened, it's so common that it's all we can do. I decided to take a bubble bath and that's when their was a knock at the door. Was it Nash? How was it? I hopped out of the tub, rapped a towel around myself and then walked down stairs. My mom walked over and opened the door it was Nash. I was in my towel, I walked down to the door and shut it till only my face could be seen. "Yes Nash?" Nash apologized then continued.."theirs this dinner party at my house tomorrow and I wanted to invite you as my date...if you want" my eyes widened and my jaw dropped..."YES!" Nash laughed.."okay..see you tomorrow veronica!" I relied "okay bye" I ran up stairs so excited and then went to sleep...Ya know for my beauty sleep.
