Army Girl

Am I Just Blind?

My first sleepover. Well, I did share a room with a few other kids when the military base went into lockdown for the night, a few years ago, but I don't think that really counts. So yeah, my first real sleepover. Amber hasn't shut up all week about this so it better be good.

As we pull into the driveway, I see three girls run out of the house and start charging towards the car. "Well that's my que to get out. Later mom, see you tomorrow." And with a peck on her check and her own goodbye, I collected all of my things and quickly hopped out of the car.

"You're here! Come on you need to meet Gabby and Marie!" If they didn't pratice that, I'm going to be impressed. They were able to get all that out in perfect sync, how?

I didn't have a lot of time to get lost in thought as I get jerked out of my trance and be pulled into the house. We took the trip through the large kitchen, living room, up the stairs, and into a large violet room. Lounging on what I assumed to be Amber's bed were two girls. One, the identical height to me with light brown hair that's braided into pigtails. The other girl is slightly taller with beach blonde hair laying perfectly straight. I wasn't wrong, ALL of Amber's friends are beautiful. Is this like a town full of good genes?

"Hi, I'm Gabby." Ok so the brunette is Gabby so the blonde must be...

"And i'm Marie." Called it

The four hours following the introduction were the best of my life. We had pizza, watched a movie, played some games, so this is what a sleepover is like. That was all amazing and all but there was one thing that made it even better, or the lack of something. I never felt left out, I never felt like the new girl. It was like we've know each other forever and could say anything we wanted to. But the real fun started after we all went to 'sleep'.

"Ok so what gossup are we missing at your little public school."

"Our school is bigger than yours is so don't even try that."

"You two!"

Gabby and Noel stopped their bickering and proceded to share the newsest gossup.

After a while of listening to chatter about teachers, tests, and cloths, the conversation was turned towards me. "So I hear that a Chase Roberts has the hots for you."

"I dout he likes me, I mean, why would he?"

Marie has an answer for everything, "Well your super pretty, funny, from what I hear pretty smart, and you're cool. I think a better question would be, why wouldn't he like you?"

She really thought that about me? "It's so obvious that he likes you. He's always staring at you in gym and he talks to you all the time culinary and art. There's no doubt about it, he likes you."

Maybe they were right, was I just being blind?

"Guess what i heard in 2nd period today." So now it was Amber's turn to butt in.

"I overheard Chase and his friends talking when the teacher left the room."

"And we care why?"

"Well, I thought you'd all like to know what Chase said he was thinking about asking out the 'new girl'." The room went totally silent and all the eyes in the room turned to me. I had to break this.

"Wait, he's going to ask me out?"
