The Silent LIfe Of Becky Jones

Chapter twelve: Chills and Thrills

-When do you want to hang out? - He texts me

-Anytime. It doesn’t matter . . . - i text him back

-What about right now?-

-Sounds good to me . . . want me to come over or do you wanna come here?-

-It’s up to you. ..-

-Here. We can chill in my room and listen to music or something. - I text him

A few minutes later we hear a knock on the door i get up and answer the door leading him in the house and upstairs to my room. I pick up my towel putting it in my laundry basket. I sit on my bed and turn on my TV. I pat my bed telling him he can come sit if he wants. We walk over and sit down beside me and we watch TV. I text him.

-So, what kind of music do you like?-

-I listen to anything.-

-Cool.-

-Yea, so what do you wanna do?-

-Im up for anything!-

-Okay, wanna go for a walk?-

-Sure!-

We get up off my bed and go downstairs and head for the door.

"Where are you going?" as both Fina and Claire

-For a walk! - I text them

"Okay! Have fun!" they both day

-Will do!-

We walk out the door and walk down the driveway i turn right towards the woods. There is a trail that i like to walk down; i haven’t been there in years. . .

-Where are we going?-

-For a walk . . . do you like the woods?-

-Yeah, but are we gunna get lost?-

-No! There is a trail . . .-

-Okay.-

We walk down the road until we get to the path that leads to the trail. I turn to walk down the path and he follows, there is a small flight of stairs on the path and we go down them. We walk into the woods and onto the trail. We walk for a good hour before it starts to get a little cold, we turnaround and walk back, retracing our steps as we go, we walk up the stairs and on the path until we get to the sidewalk and walk back home. He makes sure i am home before turning and walking next door to his house. I walk in the house to find an anxious Fina and Claire. I close the door and the questions start. . They range from 'sooo. . What happened? Did he kiss you?' to 'Do you like him? He’s cute dont you think?' i didn’t answer a single one. I mean i just met him. . Was he supposed to kiss me? Was i supposed to think he was cute, the way he smiles and runs his fingers through his hair . . . (sigh)

What’s this im feeling . . . it’s such a new feeling? It’s kind of scary . . . i smile happily and walk upstairs to my room. Claire follows me and sits on my bed with me.

"So, we need to figure out where we are going to put my bed. . ." she says

-well im going to be moving mine over there and yours will go over there- i text her pointing at the wall next to us and then a little further down from that spot.

She smiles and i turn on my TV. We watch TV for what seems like hours, before you know it, its dark out and we drift to sleep on my bed.

 Claire's P.O.V

I wake up to my cell phone going off; i slide my finger across and put it up to my ear.

"Hello?" i whisper

"Hey its Jacob . . . you know Jacob Amaze?" he says

"Oh, hey Jacob . . . so you moved in next door huh. . .” i say

"So, it was you . . . man you know all three of you girls look so similar. . .” he says

"Well one of them is my sister the other is my cousin." i say

"Well that does explain the most of it . . . so anyways . . . the blond one . . . whats her name?" he asks

"Fina." i say "Jacob, if you even think about it! Im going to smack you, i know you all too well. ."

"No worries! Im not like that anymore." he says

"Okay." i say

"Well i gotta go for dinner . . . talk to you later." he says

"Okay! Bye." i say

I put my phone in my pocket and lay back down falling asleep. .

*********THREE HOURS LATER*********

I wake up and it’s almost 10:00. I wake up Becky and we go downstairs into the kitchen. There is a note on the counter with our names printed on the top . . . i unfold the paper and read the note aloud.

Becky and Claire,

We have gone next door for a dinner party . . . we will be gone until eleven if you wake up before then, please feel free to get yourselves dressed and over there. . .

Bob

"So, you wanna go?" i ask Becky

She nods her head. I think someone had a little crush. . .

"Let’s go get ready." i say

We go upstairs and i pick out cloths for the both of us. . From what Fina and i bought when we went shopping when Becky was gone. For Becky i pick out a navy blue dress and strappy heals. Of me i pick a white dress with pink and orange flowers on it and gold flip flops. I put two clips with bows on them in Becky's hair and a very pretty necklace around her neck. I put on a necklace with a panda bear on it. We do our own make up; i do Ming a soft pink eye shadow, and a smudge of eyeliner. Becky puts on a little more than a smudge if eyeliner, but it looks good (Not scary raccoon) and dark blue sparkly liquid eyeliner as eye shadow. We both go downstairs and walk out the door heading next-door. We knock on the door and Jacob is the one to answer the door. We walk into the house and go into the living room where everyone is chatting.

"Ah, you girls made it . . . you finally awoke from your slumber. . ."says Bob

"Yep, we were just so tired before or we would have been over sooner." i say

"It’s not a problem." says Jacobs’s mom and Matt’s dad.

"Okay!" i say sitting down.

Becky's P.O.V

I pull out my phone and text Matt.

-hey, im at your house . . . where are you? Wanna chill?-

-Yeah, sure im upstairs, i will be down in a second!-

Seconds later he comes downstairs and drags me to the backyard where there is a swing set still there from the last people who lived here. He leads me to the swing set and gestures for me to get on one of the swings before he gets on the other. Sitting on the swings as we slowly swing at the same pace.

-So, there’s supposed to be a fair soon . . . we should go. - I text him

-That sounds like fun!-

-it is . . . well from what i can remember, i was so little the last time i was at a fair.
