The boy with the black jacket

Chapter 7

I walk toured the kitchen and find my mother singing and cooking supper, as she usually does.

I sneak upstairs and grab my sketch pad and start drawing the boy in the black jacket in more detail and this time I add the smile that I am so mesmerized by. Everything I found out about him goes on the paper with out me even having to think about it. With in a few minutes the sketch is done and it is in full detail of Aston.

As I am admiring the picture I have drawn I am startled by a tap at my window. I go to see what it is and when I look out my window I see Aston staring back at me with a great big smile.

I open my window and whisper loud enough for him to hear but not my parents. "What are you doing!? Don't you know they will hear you?!" He just gives me shrug, smiles and whispers back at "I don't care, I wanted to see you again, I started thinking about you and ran down here." He says with a pleading eyes. "You will get me in trouble Aston! What if my mo-!"
Just then my mother walks in and I jump and she looks at me with a confused look and asks "what are you doing near the window?" I have never been a very good lier especially in such a big secrets so I don't lie, I tell the truth because I know it's the right thing to do. "I am talking to a boy I met at school today his name is Aston."
She walks over to the window and sees Aston standing there and I expect her to be mad or sad about this but she just smiles and says "and your not going to invite him in? I mean it is freezing out there." She pulls away and says in a whispers to me "I don't mind your friends coming over sense you have such little, just don't be alone with him for to long okay hun?" I stare back at her in astonishment and as she walks out she says "see you at dinner pip."

I put my head out the window and say out to him not even bothering to whisper. "Apparently you just got invited to dinner? My mothers idea not mine. You don't have to if you don't want to." The star light smile lights up on his face and he says "are you kidding me I would love to!! I'll be right there!!" And we both start running, him to the door and me to let him in. And I grab the door and we both bump into each other as we both are still running in our minds. We both laugh for a while and once we have contained our selves we look at my mother who is smiling at both of us with her arms crossed. "What?" We both say together. Which brings on another round of laughter.

As we walk into the kitchen we still have a smile on our faces. And then my father walks in from work. And as soon as soon as he sees me and Aston he is confused. My mother explains before I even take the breath to start. "Pipper has met a friend today and I invited him to dinner so he could be introduced to us." She says quickly.

My father pulls out a chair for Aston beside my chair and we sit and eat in silence a smile still on me and Astons faces as we eat in silence.
