"Its friday, friday, friday, friday,....." This went on for several times and it caused me a damn headache. Headache on a friday morning was never good.
"Can you stop saying that its friday on and on and on, please? Its giving me a headache." I said to Tami.
"But... Its friday! And its also-" She shouted.
I groaned loudly, "Yes, I know its freaking friday and its also 5 freaking AM!" I shouted back.
"S-sorry, I just wanted to wake you up and tell you its my birthday today and I wanted y-you to be with m-me downstairs when I blow my c-candle." She said this as she started crying.
Shoot. I forgot about my sister's birthday. I don't even have a gift, a cake for her and the worst part is, I forgot about her birthday! Im the worst sister ever! Ohmygod. I even shouted at her, on her birthday! Gahh!
I pulled my hair on a bun, put on my bra then grabbed my phone and started calling James. I opened my window and started throwing pebbles from my desk to his window and started saying "Psst!! Wake up!! Hey!!"
He finally answered the phone a minute or two after.
"Mmmmm Whaaaaat?" He answered lazily.
"Hey James g-goodmorning, sorry to bother you at this time in the mo-"
"Why what time is it?" He asked.
"Uh, almost 6am."
"Nah its cool. I wake up at 6am everyday."
"Really, what for? Well I gotta cook breakfast and get ready for-- Wait, what is it that you were going to tell me?"
"Oh right, sorry, uhm could you come over or could I come over there or could we just meet up, like right now, please? I'll explain everything later." I asked.
"Okay? Not my house though, Joaquin will probably hear anything you say, so would it be okay if I go to your room instead?"
I stayed silent for a moment. Oh dear God. Its the first time a guy will ever go to my room. Chase hasnt even been in my room and he's been my friend for-
"Tessa, ya still there?" James asked.
"Uh yeah sorry just uhm how will you go here though?"
"Open your window."
Ohmygod. He's at my window. He's about to crawl inside my room from my window. And he just got in my room. And-
"Tessa, are you okay?"
"Y-yeah?"
He smiled."First time to have a guy in your room?"
"How did you know?"
"I noticed the way you reacted when I asked if I could stay here and when I saw your face while you were opening the window."
Wow. Guys notice that much shit too?
"Yeah, I guess so."
"What? Ohmygod. Did I just say that out loud?"
"Sure did, sweetheart. Now what did you call me here for?" He smiled.
I blushed when he called me 'sweetheart'.
I told him the whole story and he replied with, "Wow. That's f-ed up."
"It is, isnt it? Agh I'm the worst sister ever, how could I have forgotten her birthday, and yell at her first thing in the morning during her birthday AND forget to buy her a present! I'm the worst!" I exclaimed.
"I'm sure she'll forgive you and give you a second chance," He said.
Second chance. Second. Chance. I recalled what Chase said. 'Everyone deserves a second chance.'
I gulped while thinking about it.
"Tessa? Are you sure you're okay? Seriously, Im really worried. You space out every time I say something, I don't even know about what I said now."
"What? Right, right, Second C-chance." I forced a smile.
"Yeah... So do we go to the mall to. buy her gifts, balloons, a cake? What kind of cake does she like? Does she like to wear dresses or does she like princesses, dolls and stuff?"
I stared at him.
"Uh Tessa? What? Is there something on my face?" He said.
"No," I said "but, thank you."
"For what?" He smiled.
"For this. For everything, for being so concerned, for not shouting at me for waking you up and bugging you at 5am. For helping me to make up for Tami's birthday. And thanks for doing all this even though we've only known each other for a few weeks. Thank you so much. I never though i'd meet someone like you."
He smiled. "Youre welcome, Tessa. You deserve much more and not much people notice how youre such a good person," He paused then said, "Hey, wanna eat breakfast with me?"
"I cant go to your house at this time. What will our parents think?"
"No, silly, we'll have breakfast at Mcdonald's or a Diner or something."
"What?! And skip school?"
"Tessa, sweetheart, you're over reacting, I know this place just beside school and I'd love to eat breakfast there with you."
I blushed. "Sorry. Okay, yeah I guess I needed food for my energy this morning. I'll just change and I'll meet you outside."
"Great, see you in a while, ya lil' tomato!" He said, laughing.
"Ha ha real funny, uhm J-James."
Great. I cant even think of a comeback. What has this guy done to me?!
-
Breakfast at Pancake House, Yes. Nothing could be better than Pancakes for breakfast with the boy you like.
"So again, what are the interests of your sister?" James said.
I finished chewing my food and said, "I don't really know. When were together, we don't really talk, and I don't see her play at home because she always go to my room and its never the other way around. But I do know she loves Candy and Ice cream."
"She's just turning 7 years old today, right?"
"Yeah..?"
"Great, then after school today, We can go to the Toy Store and shop for whatever 7 year olds like."
"You'll go with me?" I blushed, Damn it.
"Of course I will, I'd be with you if you want me to go."
"O-okay. After school it is then,"
We finished our breakfast and walked to school. Thank God indeed, that it is Friday.
