Chapter 47: 8th Grade, Here I Come!-Kenzi (NotCherry)

OMG, it's Monday, the day that 8th grade starts! I am very excited about this, for one, Zendaya and Liam are going to be in a private high school. Actually, Zendaya is going to a private one but Liam is going to another high school. That made me feel good, now Zendaya couldn't secretly date Liam anymore. Ha! I woke up really early and decided to start breakfast. I had to dismiss the cook though, I told him that I wanted to make them and that he should take a rest. He didn't trust me at first because I'm not Blake or Sondra but I say I am one of the owners of the house, finally finally finally, he gave in.

I made pancakes. I did an excellent job at flipping them if I do say so myself. And, I do. Sondra, Blake, and Zendaya were all surprised to find me cooking. I just smiled, served them my breakfast, and heard them gasp.

"This is so good Kenzi!" Blake says

"Wonderful!" Sondra adds

We all look at Zendaya. She's fast asleep.

Blake snaps at her.

"Wha?" she says finally waking up, "oh sorry, yeah, it's great."

She takes a bite, then runs up to the bathroom, then after a minute, we all heard, "Bleachhhhh,"

Oooo, I cringe.

Sondra runs upstairs. Blake looks at me and nods. I nod back. Then he runs upstairs too.

I finish my breakfast first, then run upstairs.

Zendaya is still in the bathroom. Sondra and Blake are discussing.

"Look at her, she's sick," Sondra says, "We ought to take her to the hospital."
"She's just a bit sick," Blake says, "Nothing like the time Kenzi threw up."

They had finally decided to take Zendaya to the hospital. Which means that she'll miss the first day of school. Blake took his tesla and drove me to school. Then he dropped me off, kissed me on the cheek, wished me good luck on my first day back, and drove off.

I stare at his car as it drives farther and farther into the distance.

I hear the bell ring.

Oops, gotta go to class!

At homeroom, we introduced ourselves. We had to say our name, our birthday and a fun fact about ourselves.

Guess what? There was another girl, MacKayla Livby, had the same birthday as me and her fun fact is exactly like mine!

She and I became friends and she invited me over to sit with her at lunch. I got my lunch and joined her.

"Hi Kayla," I say, she wants me to call her Kayla, "I'm here."

Kayla is reading a book. She looks up and smiles, "Hi bestie!" she hugs me.

"How did you do on the test?" I ask, hugging her back.

She smiles again, "I think I did great! You?"

"Me too!" I say and we both burst into giggles.

Kayla is really smart, she's like one of the nerds in the school (I'm one too).

"Wanna come over today?" I ask

"Oh, I can't," she says frowning, "I have a class, but tomorrow?"

"Sounds good to me!" I say. "I'll have to ask my parents though," (Parents? Oh God)

"Okay," she says. We sat down and ate lunch.

After school, we wake goodbye to each other and I step into the limo. Blake is there. He smiles at me.

"Made a new friend?" he asks

"Yeah," I say, then I told him about Kayla. Then I ask him about the playdate.

"Kayla is welcome anytime," Blake says, "Let's drop by Zen's school, pick up her

homework, then go to the hospital."

"Okay."

When we arrive at Zendaya's school, the principal wishes her good luck. Then we drive into the hospital (private hospital)and go up to room 457. Blake knocks on the door.

"Come in," a voice says.

We open the door and Blake rushes over to Zendaya, burying her in hugs and kisses. Zendaya looks over at me nervously, I smile at her. She relaxes and smiles too. I ran over and hugged her. She looks surprised but then she hugs me back.

"I hope you feel better." I say, "Look! We had a store open today at school and I bought you a pair of earrings."

She gasps, "It's amazing, thank you."

I smile and hug her. She hugged me back, we had apologized to each other, but not by words, our hug was saying everything our voice can't.
