Everyday's a Life Time Without You.

1rst grade Chapter 2

Cara's point of view

Well my best friend ,Hunter and I, (he's also my cousin, we're having such a fun time!
We're at my aunt Nancy's, his grandma's (nana) house. She's so pretty,  hunter and I, we fight over her a lot. Like he says 'she's my grandma,' and I'd say,
'She's my aunt!' But it's actually hilarious.
"Dude, we're playing a game!" He shouts in my ear. Ugh he's so annoying.
"OKAY!"
"Why are you screaming?" He asks.
"Why do you think?"
"I don't know." He says.
Ugh he's such a retard, but he's still my cousin and he's still the bestest friend anyone could ever have. Unfortunately though, he has his moments. Just like I do. We're twins!!! Ah okay. Anyway, we're playing with musical instruments....
"Do you play guitar?" I ask. I see like two of them laying around... I know he plays them obviously but it's just something you say.
"Do I play guitar?" He smirks. "Yes actually I do. You wouldn't know that."
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Because I just told you now." Well duh I ain't stupid! Ah our friendship is totally crazy. Like weird. It's so crazy it's weird. He's so funny though... I guess he gets that from me. Lol.
"Can you teach me?"
"Uh what?"
"I said, can you teach me?" I ask again, getting a tiny bit tensed and annoyed at the same time.
"Why?"
"Because I asked."
"Ha cuz, I don't think I should."
"Why? You better, or else I'm going to tell Nana." He seems like he's flattering himself too much. I know he's in love  with music and I am too! I played piano in front of a whole church and he played the accordion, when we were like two I think. Well actually, he also played the accordion for Hank Williams Jr.  so I'm jealous... And he knows it too.
"Cuz." He says to me. "No offense but you're a girl."
"So? You're a boy... What does that have to do with anything?"
"Girls don't play guitar." He tells me as he sits on the floor and strums his acoustic guitar.
"Well I do." I snap as I storm out of there. I can't believe he just said that. I mean, I know we say a lot of mean stuff to each other, well he does it more cause he's a BOY... But yeah he's being very rude right now.
                           After a couple of minutes pass, he still hasn't apologized or came and got me. Ugh *moron*
"Cara?.... Cara. "
Up that's him... That's the moron.
"What?" I growl, literally like a bear... Spit coming out and one knot.lol.
"Let's go back to playing the game."
"Well what can I play then?"
"I don't care." You know, he doesn't answer stuff he just says I don't know, or I don't care.Which I do too, so I'm just like him.
Anyway...
"Let me play guitar...." I whine. He always gives up and let's me do something if I whine.
"Ah fine. But I'm gonna close my ears."
"Oh hush." I say. Which is followed by him mocking me, which is followed to me giggling, while he mimmicks my laugh. Uh he's too cute.
"Here, he says, "let's see what Cara Lena's got."
"Hm okay." I smirk as I take the guitar.
"Wait, I don't know the cords." I say.
He then just drops his face expression almost like he's embarrassed. I wonder why? He must know them.
"Uhh." Is all that he says as he scratches the back of his neck.
"What, you don't know the cords either?"
"No I know the cords! What do you think I'm stupid?" He says.
"Yes." I sniggle. He then just huffs and looks at me like 'really?'
"Oh come you know I'm just kidding." I laugh as I push him a tiny bit.
"Well? Play!"
"Oh.... Now you want the GIRL to play?" I nag.
"Just play."
"Ok." I say as I start strumming away. Ugh I sound terrible. There's no way he could buy this. There's no way he'll know I love music just as much as he does and there's no way to prove it to him.
"Uh wow." He says. He looks speechless for some reason..... Probably just about to crack out laughing or something.
"Yeah go ahead and laugh. I don't care."
"No that was... Um beautiful.." He says as he now locks eyes with me, letting me know he's telling the truth. Whenever we look into each other's eyes, that means that we're not joking and we're not lying.
"Oh be quiet no it wasn't."
"Yes it was!!!!! Would you quit arguing? You are actually... He gulps, good."
"Okay??? Why don't you try it."
"Okay." He says as I hand him his guitar.
"Wait how did you do that?" He asks.
"Just play."
"Ugh fine."
Then, as he starts I'm literally blown away as well.
"How was that?"
"Beautiful!"
"Really?" He asks.
"Yup almost as good as me." I snort.
"Oh you are so dead." Uh oh. Maybe I shouldn'tve said that. Oh well. I then start frolicking around the house screaming and laughing sarcastically and hysterically.
He then catches up to me, and then he picks me up.
"Hey!!! Put me down!"
"Nope!"
"Nana!"
"Oh you're such a baby." He smirks.
"I know you are but what am I? " I growl. Dang this dude,always making me mad.
"NANCY!!" I scream.
"Hunter Easton Hayes... What are you doing?"
"Uhh I uh...."
"Put her down this instant!"
Sucker ha! I always get my ways.
"Yes ma'am."
"Heh heh." I laugh sarcastically.. once I know that she was gone.He then looks at me like 'I'm going to kill you look.' Of course he doesn't actually kill me, we'd just wrestle. Ah my bestie.
"What?" He asks. Probably because we're just standing here starring at each other awkwardly.
"What do you mean what?"
"Ugh, let's just... Go inside."
Hmm I wonder what that's about?
A couple of minutes later, I notice he's not acting like himself... Still.
"Hunter? Are you okay?"
"Yeah." He huffs. "I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
" Cara would you quit asking? You're really freaking me out."
If only he'd listen and understand. Everything would be okay.... Unfortunately it's not. At least not where I stand.
