CHAPTER 15

“And that’s about it.” I said as I finished explaining to Aimee and Hanna where we’re all going today. Today was Saturday, which meant the whole day would be devoted to recording for the video challenge that JACK FREAKING HARRIES sent us.

“I can’t wait, it’s been a while since we’ve done this.” Hanna said, with Aimee and I agreeing with her. We were doing this for the competition, sure, but we’re also in it for the fun. For the day I decided to wear white shorts that reached half my thigh, a blue long sleeved button up polo that was dark blue at the top and as it goes down the color lightens, and cream and light blue doll shoes. I rolled up my sleeves to my elbows and had my hair brushed to one side since it was a bit hot at the moment.

Hanna was wearing pink shorts, a white loose lacy blouse and black sandals. She had her hair braided into a messy French braid that ended up with the ends being fishtail braids.

Yes, I know, Aimee was probably the only one among us dressed appropriately for the day wearing faded gray jeans, a Rolling Stones shirt and a pair of red toms, with her hair tied up in a ponytail.

“Aimee who’d you get to record the video for us?” I asked her. She shifted in her seat for a minute, making me even more curious. She looked like she was about to speak, but the doorbell rang and she gave a sigh of relief. I gave her a look but walked towards the front door to see who it was.

“Ethan?” I said, shock distinct in my voice.

“Hey.” He said softly, but not really smiling. Now I see why Aimee looked nervous. I thought she’d get her brother or maybe her cousin to record for us. I let Ethan in to the living room, and there was a complete and awkward moment of silence where no one really bothered to talk.

“Soo… let’s just go and get started, yes?” Hanna suggested as she stood up from her seat and grabbed her bag.

“Sounds good.” Aimee joined her as they made their way for the door. I was about to follow suit but I felt Ethan gently hold me back. I stopped in my tracks and looked at his hand that gently had a hold on my elbow.

“Sorry.” He said, as he removed his hand from my arm, rubbing the back of his neck.

“It’s fine,” I tried to smile. “Let’s just get going.”

“No, I mean, I’m sorry, Becca. For the way I acted. I shouldn’t have talked to you like that. I didn’t know if you were going through anything that time I shouldn’t have… I’m sorry.” He said as he ran his hands through his hair. Ok I’m the touchy-feely type of person don’t judge me I’m easily touched when people apologize especially when it’s a guy.

“It’s fine,” I said, smiling at him. “Don’t be too hard on yourself, it’s partly my fault too, you were right.” I admitted.

“Friends again?” He asked, giving me one of those small smiles that I’ve been missing for weeks. I laughed at his childish antics.

“Friends.” I smiled.

“OY YOU TWO LOVE BIRDS HURRY IT UP.” Aimee shouted from outside, making Ethan and I shake our heads and laugh, but we went out and followed mommy Aimee anyway towards our first destination: the park! I’m not telling you which park though, in case some of you might be creepy stalkers in disguise who want to rape me.

The walk to the park was a bit awkward, Aimee and Hanna were walking in front of us, and the sidewalk was too small for three or four people to walk side by side, so I had to walk with Ethan behind. We eventually got past the awkwardness, though. (Thank God, I hate awkward moments)
