I look at my messages
From: Jackson 'Hey do y'all want to come over? We are having a cookout.'
I responded 'Sure! Sounds like fun! Is around 5:30 ok?' And I hit send. "Now I have to get ready! I'll text Ashley and Kamren later" I said to myself. I sprinted to my closet. 30 minutes pass and I finally decide to wear denim shorts, a pink flowing tank top, braided belt, and my favorite brown braided sandels. "Perfect." I whispered. I grabbed my hair and make up bag and walked to the bathroom. "Hey mom!" I screamed, "Jackson's family invited us to a cookout, can we go?" "Sure sweetie. Warn your brothers as I get ready." Said my mom. I called to my brothers and told them what our plans were. "Yay! Food!" Screams Davis. He really likes food... I went back to my bathroom and put on my make up. Slight foundation, subtle eyeshadow, mascara and I was done. Next was the hard part... My hair. My hair is curly in ringlets from the root. This makes it hard to manage but some girls would do a lot for hair like mine. I did a waterfall braid on one side and decided it was good enough.
~20 minutes later~
"Welcome guys!" Greets Jackson's mom, Mrs. Garber. "Thank you for inviting us!" Gushes my mother. They walked into the kitchen while I figured my game plan. I was just to have fun I thought. "Don't think, just have fun." I whispered to my self. All of the sudden, Maddie, Jackson's little sister pops put of nowhere! "Ahh!" I scream, "You scared me!" "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to," she said with puppy dog eyes. I easily forgave her. We strolled outside as the boys were playing basketball. "Hey!" I shout as a basketball almost hits me in the face, "Watch what you're doing!" I tried to put a mean face on but it didn't work. I ended up cracking up laughing along with everyone else. 😂
"Dinner is ready!" Yells my mom. We all stumble inside and head to the table. We all immediately dig in. Everything was so good. I ate until I was stuffed. "I am so full," exclaims Jackson's older brother Caleb, "Lets go upstairs and watch a movie!" We all murmur in agreement. All 6 of us trample up the stairs and I spot a piano that hasn't always been there. "When did y'all get a piano??" I ask curiously. "Oh like 2 weeks ago." Replys Jackson. "May I test it out?" I blurt not thinking at all. Maddie nods and I dash over to the piano seat. I pulled up the sheet music to Titanium by Davis Guetta, one of my favorite songs. I start playing and my instincts kick in. "I'm bullet proof,nothin to lose,fire away fire away..." I kept playing and the song crescendoed. My passion put into the song was growing also and abruptly, someone walked in.
