Truth be told

16

The bus was 5 minutes from my stop and Will had got off already. His words still rattled around in my brain.

Will you date me?

I smiled. I had never dated anyone before. OMG. I have known boys for years and I didn't date them. I've known Will for a day an I'm dating him. What is happening to me?

I grabbed me bag and walked to the front of the bus,as it pulled up to my stop. Thanking the bus driver I hoped off. I run up to my house screaming when I get in.

"OH MY GOD!WHAT HAPPENED? WHATS WRONG?" Ma yelled running downstairs.

"Nothing," I reply. "I'm just happy."

"Well you scared the shit out of me."

"Sorry."

I give Ma a small smile and we walk into the kitchen. There is a small box wrapped in balloon covered wrapping paper.

To Angelica love the woman who gave birth to you.

I stair at the box,when 2 hands gently squeeze my shoulders.

"Happy early birthday baby girl."

Tears well in my eyes as I hug Ma. I turn back to the box picking it up. Slowly I tear the paper off to see a phone box.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa! You got me a phone!" I screamed. "thank you thank you thank you Ma.

"Your very welcome. You are responsible enough I think."

"Yes yes yes."

I give Ma a huge hug, a kiss on the cheek and 3 more thank you's before running up to me room. Ripping open the box, I jump on my bed. I pull it out of the box turning it on.

By the time I was done getting my number set up, eating and showering it was time to go to bed. I set my alarm for the morning, put on my pj's on, got in bed and turned of my lite. Pulling the blankets over me I snuggle in and let the sweet embrace of sleep take me.
