Chapter two

Once I got home, I ran up into my room and locked the door. I didn't want my my mom or dad to come in while I was talking to Dustin, and embaress me. I realized that if I called him so soon he would still be on the bus and that would be akward. So I took out my homework to get a start on it. 'T+3= -341... what does T equal?' math is so hard. I put my math away and pulled out my science homework. 'What is the lowest part of a tree?' I couldn't focus. I had to call Dustin. I knew he wanted to kiss me.... I was such an idiot! Why did I back away when he leaned in! I would have crossed.... Mabey 3 things off my list! Now I only have one thing crossed off.... I knew some how I had to get him to at least ask me out. Suddenly I realized how much i had changed in just one day. I talked to someone, I actual sat in front of a class, I almost kissed a boy, I was confident enough to get a guys number, wow. I felt good. I looked at the clock. 3:30. That would mean that I've been home for a half hour. Which means he should be home. I have to call him. I grabbed my phone and jumped on my bed. I dialed the numbers slowly and carefully so I wouldn't make a mistake and call someone else. 1-2-1-8-5-3-5-7-5-5-9..... One ring.... Two rings.... I heard a click. "Hello?" some one said from the other end.

"Hey! Dustin? It's Drew!"

"Drew.... Oh hey Drew!"

"Hey!"

There was an akward sielince. I broke it. "So why did you have me call?"

"Oh! I was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie sometime with me!"

I ran over to the calender on my desk. "How about tomarrow night?"

"Im busy.... What about Friday?"

"Friday would be... Awesome."

"Cool pick you up at say... Seven?"

"Sure!"

"Cool see you tomarrow!"

He hung up. I put the phone down and sighed. I had a date. Not just any date. A date with one of the most popular guys in school. I was about to faint. Then a little thought came into my mind. What would Dustin be doing tomarrow that was more important than a date with me? Mabey it was something personal... Or family stuff... That little thought was pushed into the back of my mind. Never to be seen again. Or so I thought.

The next day was as boring as the rest were. Tuesday, nothing happned, Wensday, nothing happened, And on Thursday, Audtion schedual for the school play was posted. Friday couldn't get done quick enough. The clock seemed to take ten times longer for the big hand to be on the six and the little on the two. Once the bell rang I ran faster than the speed of light to get onto the bus. Once I got on and sat on my usual spot, in the back. And in front of me, there was a girl. She quickly turned around and passed me a note. It read:

My name is Nikki and I know you. I'm not a stalker but I know you. Dustin isn't good for you. You can do so much better. If you need more info/advice/proof text me at

(405) 585-0957

~ Nikki

She signed her name with hearts for the I's. I could tell this was just another jealous girl. I threw the note into my back-pack. Once Dustin got on the bus, all the heads tuned to either me or him. He came and sat down next to me. It seemed like everyone was watching but I suddenly didn't care what anyone else thought. I could see out of the corner of my eye, a girl looking worryingly at me. I ignored her. I stared at Dustin's dark blue eyes. Him looking at my light brown eyes. We were almost in a trance. As soon as the buss moved, everyone looked away. Except me and Dustin. Were still staring at each other, smiling. "Hi Drew."

"Hi Dustin."

"How are you?"

"I'm really good. How are you?"

"Awseome, now that your here."

He winked at me. I blushed and looked away. He blushed too but never took his eyes off me. He kept smiling to. Finally he asked, "So what movie should we see tonight?"

I said, "Hmm... Friday Night Fever?"

"That would be awesome."

"totally."

Sudenlly the bus stopped. It was my stop, I had to get off. I looked at Dustin smiled and said, "See you at seven!"

"See ya at seven" I waved on my way off and ran into my house. As soon as the door shut I screamed and twirled around. Sudenlly, a booming high pitched voice came from upstairs, "QUEIT DOWN I'M NAPPING!!" I relized instantly who it was. It was my older sister Veronica, 'visiting from college'. Why the air qouets? Well I'll tell you.

Three years ago my great Aunt Molly died. Old, and wealthy. She owned a business called Molly's Cookies. They were nationally known. He had over $1.4 BILLION rolling in YEARLY. She was widowed and vowed to never marry again. She owned the business for over 30 years. Before she died she insisted that we bury the cookie recipe with her. And that's what we did. No one made copies, or tried to make copies, the recipe was gone with Molly. Forever. In her will she gave me $1,000 for my college fund, but gave Veronica the rest. Over $40 billion went to my sister. She said she would go to college and get a Docters Degree, to be a docter. Everyone agreed it was a wonderful idea. Except me. She told me she wasn't going to even go to college. Instead she goes on trips around the world. As a billionare. Not giving money to me, my mom, or dad. Just her. Ever since then, I've despised her. And you know what's even worse?she didn't even go to Molly's funeral. She had to 'study'. (Go on an Alaskin cruise.) So as you can see, I have the worst sister in the world.

Anywase.... I went upstairs into my room. Really crabby because I went from extatic, to pissed off. I hoped the date would go better. I opened my closet. I decided to find something to wear to the movie tonight. I was planing on wear blue jeans and a t-shirt, but I figured i could put a little more thought into it. I grabbed about three shirts and four pants. I got a blue tank top, a tie dye shirt, and a long white shirt. Skinny jeans, a short skirt, or short shorts. I decided on my blue tanktop, and skinny jeans, with a light sweater over. I looked over at my

Clock. It was 4:00. I still had 3 hours. I decide to go and shower, then curl my hair. That took me about an hour and a half. I stared at the clock. 5:30.... 5:31.... 5:32.... This was no way to spend my time. I had to get ready. I pulled out my makeup kit and started on my makeup. First I put on a light mascara, then a ligh pink blush. Light pink lipstick, and lastely, a touch of $300 perfume. (Veronica bought me

In Tokyo). Then I put on new nail polish. Light blue, to match. It was now 6:45. Why I took so long I didn't know.

I ran downstairs. I grabbed my purse and sat on the couch. As soon as I sat down, Dustin came up the driveway. He walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. I opened the door. He stood there for a second. Just staring at me. "Wow." He finally said, "You look... Amazing."

He was wearing blue jeans with a white T-Shirt.

"Why thank you kind sir!" I curtseed like I was a princess. He bowed and took my hand and led me out of the doorway. We got into the car and drove off.
