Confessions

Chapter Ten

My mother had not returned from her room yet, so Cayla and I had put a movie on in my room and were talking while the film played in the back round. Cayla was leaning against the headboard on my bed, while I had made my desk chair into a cozy place using what seemed like a million blankets and pillows. Cayla and I were babbling on about who knows what when we were interrupted by a loud knock on the door below.
"I'll get it." I exclaimed, clearly not wanting to leave my pillow-blanket heaven. I got up nonetheless and headed towards the door. Slowly making my way down the staircase, I opened the door.
"Can we talk?" He asked the very second I saw him standing on my doorstep. I shook my head vigorously. "But-" he persisted. Just, then, Cayla came down the stairs and appeared in the doorway.
"What's-" she started
"He just came over b-because I c-called him to tell him that you were over, a-and he could come over and work on the project." I invented quickly.
"Oh, great." She replied hesitantly. I looked at him, he nodded, confirming my story. I hated lying to Cayla, but I didn't want to hurt her more...
Thanks to my 'excellent' lying, I had to allow him into my house. We sat at the kitchen table and I brought down my book bag. I took out the papers that we had worked on, and we began our work. I had completely forgotten our school related problem due to all my life related ones.
     "I heard a roomer today that                     Mr. Hendrum isn't back yet cause he got knocked up." Everyone laughed. Suddenly, I felt more comfortable in the presence of him. By the time he left later on, we had a good 4th of the project written. It wasn't until after he left that we saw the time. 3:26...
"Shit" Cayla yelled. "Kimmy's probably freaked!" We jumped up and rushed out the door.
"Going to Cayla's mom! I yelled as the door slammed behind me, but not before I grabbed my moms keys. "You've got to drive!" I yelled, unlocking the car, throwing the keys to Cayla, and getting into the passengers seat. Cayla put the key in the ignition and the engine came roaring to life. She pulled out and began down the road in the direction of her house. Cayla lived about 2 1/2 miles away, normally we could walk back and forth, but we needed to get there fast.
"I shouldn't be doing this!" Cayla half shouted nervously. "You're not an adult, I've only got a learners permit..." I already knew this, but I didn't even have that, so Cayla's driving was preferred to mine.
It didn't take long for the old, tan car to pull into the car park of Cayla's house. We practically leaped out if the car the moment that it had screeched to a stopping point. Running along the front walk, the two of us burst through the door. The sight that we saw was one hundred percent not what we had expected. Kim lay there on the couch, a sandwich in her right hand, laughing at Gordon Ramsey scold a young chef for who knows what.
"Kimmy!" Cayla yelled.
"Oh, your back!" She replied, turning off the TV.
"What the hell?" Cayla burst again, "I thought you'd be a little more, I don't know, worried that I had disappeared..." Cayla seemed to immediately regret what she had just said.
"Relax," Kim said, leaving the couch and cautiously stepping towards Cayla, "I called Sarah's mom when I woke up and found your bed empty. She told me you were over there." Wow was the only word that I could think. Wow... we had just taken my mom's car, and illegally driven to Cayla's house for nothing...wow.
"Why don't you guys go upstairs. II'll- is that...is that Dana's car!" Kim said, looking over our my shoulder and out the window.
"Y-yes..." Cayla stuttered.
"Well, why don't you two go upstairs while I go return Dana's car!" cooling down Kim added, "Go." and we rushed upstairs.
"Wow, Kim's cool." I stated as we closed Cayla's door behind us.
"And by the way! You are so grounded!" Kim yelled from downstairs.
"Spoke too soon..." Cayla and I burst into fits if laughter...Why? I don't know, but I preferred this to fighting. I knew that Cayla and him would become a couple soon enough. This might just be the last laugh we shared for a while. Okay fine... His name is...
