The teenage orphan [Being edited]

33. Stood up

Nolan dropped me off and got into his car and left to get ready. There was a box outside of the door for me. I sat on the stairs and opened it. It was from Officer Nicole! She brought over a new pair of white converse! That's going to look so cool while black light bowling today...

I walked into the house and didn't see anyone till I walked into the kitchen.

"Hey everyone." I said. "Oh hey Avalon!" I walked in to the kitchen and saw Margo. "Oh, hey Margo, you're here early." "Yeah, just chose to come by early."

"Oh, well I'm gunna go get ready." I said making my way upstairs. I walked into my room and sat on my bed. A few seconds later, Derek walked in.

"Get out." I said. "Lony." He said to me. "Avalon." I said back to him.

"I wanted to apologize." "Apology not accepted, now get out of my room." "Avalon, come one." "Derek. Get out."

He rolled his eyes and got out. Zack then came in. "Where were you? Where'd you go?" "I just wanted to get away for a little bit, go for a swim."

"Well are you alright?" He asked while holding my hands. "Yeah, I'm going to take a shower now." I kissed his cheek and walked into my shower.

I got out, dried my hair, put on mascara and eyeliner, and walked out of my bathroom.

Zack was sitting on my window sill. "You alright?" I asked him. "Just looked out of your window. Thinking."

I went into my walk in closet, put on my neon tie dye muscle tee, white shorts, and walked out. "Thinking? About what?"

"See, I'm not really sure." He said. I went over to him and swung my arm around him and leaned my head on his head.

"It's beautiful right? The view out of the window?" I asked him while smiling. "Yeah, but I see a more beautiful view everyday." He said.

"Mind showing me this view?" I asked him. He looked at me and got up. He pulled me and placed me in front of the mirror.

"There's the beautiful view I get to see every single day. With that bright smile and beautiful hair." I turned around and hugged him.

He slightly kissed me on the lips. "Love you." "Love you too."

Zack walked out of my room. I tied a white bandana and used it as a headband.

I grabbed my backpack, shoved things into it, grabbed my keys and my phone and walked downstairs.

"How about Lily and I come to the mall and we'll meet up after bowling and go to dinner!" "YEAH!" Everyone yelled.

We all got into the truck and drove to the mall. When we got to the mall Nolan met us there and we walked in.

"Guys how bout we go get froyo before we go bowling." "YEAH!" Everyone yelled out to Margo's request.

"But guys our reservations in six minutes." I said. "Avalon, just go and wait for us then. Tell the people we'll be a little late!" Margo said.

"I'll go with Avalon." Nolan said. "Same." Derek and Zack said. "No, come on guys, she'll be fine! Won't you?" Margo said looking at me.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Go ahead guys." I said. I tossed the van keys to Derek

We all went in our different directions. I walked in to the bowling place and the black light made it all look so much cooler. As I stepped in my muscle tee and shorts started to glow.

"Nice outfit." The guy at the counter said to me. I walked up to the front counter. "Hey, I'm part of the 7th street orphanage reservation, and everyone else is running a little late and thanks by the way."

"Yeah, that's all right, but in 15 minutes we gotta give it away." He said while leaning against the counter.

"Wait, Jax?" "Avalon? I didn't know that was you, it's way to dark in here." We laughed.

"Alright well I'll see you tonight right?" "Yeah!" "Haha cool, well, just take a seat near the sixth." I nodded and made my way to the ally.

I sat down and looked around at everyone bowling. After 12 minutes of scrolling on my phone, I just took out my laptop and went on twitter.

"Hey, do you want a drink or something?" The Jax asked. "Nah I'm fine." I said. He sat down next to me. "Don't you still have work?"

"Nah my shifts over for the day. So what happened? Zack stood you up?" Jax asked.

"Well technically what happened was, Margo used to baby sit and we needed a babysitter for Lily and what ended up was they wanted Lily and Margo to come so they all went to froyo and Margo told me to stay and wait till we get here for the reservation and they haven't got here yet, for like about twelve minutes."

"Well you got three more minutes till we gotta give your spot up, so how about we just go get some thing to eat." Jax asked. I checked the time on my phone.

"Yeah sure." I said. I put my laptop into my backpack and we walked out. "Yo, Marc, move up the next reservation for ally six." Jax yelled. "Ai, gotchu." His co-worker said.

"So what are you there? Boss? Manager?" I asked Jax. "Co-Owner, my dad owns the place but he barely goes there, so I take over."

"Dude, that's awesome." I said laughing. "Well there's the froyo store, wanna see if they're in there?" Jax asked.

I looked in and saw all of them laughing and smiling. Margo kissed Zack on the cheek... She actually did. Zack smiled at her and did nothing else.

I'm surprised that no one had texted me yet, wondering if I'm okay or whatever.

"I saw them." I said. "Wanna go and get them?" He asked. "No, I'm fine." I said. "Let's just go, they look fine without me."
