BROKEN

Chapter 8

We drove a few blocks from Brandon's house and pulled up in front of a house a bit bigger than Brandon's. "Grandma, where are we?" I asked. "Your new house," she replied as my cousins came out to greet us. I got out and hugged each of them. I grabbed my suitcase and followed my cousin Kaylee inside and to my room. My jaw hit the floor. It was bigger than the room I had stayed in at Brandon's. I had my own bathroom and walk in closet. "You guys are rich?!" I exclaimed in total shock. Kaylee laughed. "Well yeah. You didn't know that Ron?" I shook my head and examined my new room. Everything was getting so much better. "So I hear you stayed at Brandon James' house," she said. "Yeah I did and it was amazing," I told her. She smiled and said, "He like likes you." I looked at her. "What do you mean like likes me?" I asked totally confused. She rolled her eyes and said, "He's got a crush on you!" I froze. "Seriously?!" I exclaimed. She nodded and we both screamed and jumped around. "Come on. We're going shopping," Kaylee said like I didn't have a choice. And I didn't. She pulled me out of the house and to the mall. She dragged me into a salon and signed me up for a make over. Just what I needed. I was tired of looking like I geek. It was time I changed my style. While we were waiting I saw Brandon outside. I dove behind my cousin and hid. "What's wrong Ronnie?" she asked. "Brandon's out there. I don't want him to see me," I said. Then a stylist called my name and Kaylee pushed me after her. I sat in a chair while Kaylee talked with the stylist. She knew what she was doing and I had total trust in her.
