Will You Notice Me?

Chapter 3: a Russian Friend

Pict is Keyzar

I couldn't wait for my date with Nathan. I woke up early this morning and really looked forward to Saturday, which was still 3 days from today.

Well, I still got 2 hours before the school started. I decided to work-out so at least I could have a toned body for the date. I changed into tank top and shorts, then I grabbed my ipod and walked out of my house.

I started to jog around the neighborhood for at least half an hour. Then midway through my work-out, someone jogged behind me.

"Hey Star! Do you live around here?" a rather familiar voice said to me.

I looked to my right side and saw Keyzar ran beside me.

"Hey Keyzar! Yes, I do. Do you? I just saw you around."

"Yup, Toby and I just moved here from Russia, we live next to each other."

Wow, Russia huh. No wonder where the hot accent came from.

"Oh I've never been there before. So, Toby is a Russian too? Didn't seem like it." I said to him and laughed a little. We continued to jog beside each other. I removed one of my earphone to hear what he said.

"Well Toby is a hundred percent American. He moved to Russia when he was 10, our parents were close friends so we too became friends –best friend."

Huh, it made sense.

"Hey! I've got an idea. Since we live closely, we could do our project in my house or yours. Save a little bit of money. What do you think?" I asked him smiling.

"Great! It's settled then. Can I have your phone number?" Keyzar gave me his phone, the latest Iphone and I saved my number there.

Then we chatted a little about school and stuff. 10 minutes later we arrived in front of my house.

"Um, this is my house. I probably should shower and get ready to school. See you there!" I waved at Keyzar and entered my home. I heared a man shouted 'bye' and 'see ya'.

I took a long nice shower, getting rid of all my sweat and chose my outfit nicely. I wanted to look pretty in front of Nate obviously. I wore a knee-length denim dress with a black think belt. I didn't want to look fancy, I'll go with decent so I chose my white sneakers and apply a little bit of foundation, mascara, and lip gloss.

I went downstairs and looked at the note my parents wrote. They've gone to their work and left 25 dollars each for Chris and I. I checked my watch and still have 15 minutes to go to school so I decided to cook for my lunch. My mom left waffles and pancakes for breakfast but it wasn't enough for lunch. Besides, I want to save a little money for a new dress for my date.

"Chris, are you awake yet?" I yelled from the kitchen to Chris' room.

"Yes mom! I'm gonna take a shower now!" He replied thinking I was mom. My mom and I didn't have a similar voice, Chris must be half-awake that he can't differentiate it.

I chuckled and went on making my lunch. I cooked a bake salmon with cheese and pasta. I add a little bit of salt and pepper, also tomato and garlic. I hope it was good. I also made on for Chris. I am a very nice sister, aren't I?

Chris went downstairs looking nice.

"Nice smell, mom. What are you cooking?" He said not noticing that mom wasn't here.

"Last time I checked, I am not your mother. I am very much younger than you." I said not bothering to look at him.

"Oops sorry sis, I have a little hangover. Where's mom?" He finally noticed me and started eating breakfast.

"She went to work already. I think there's aspirin somewhere, search it yourself."

I finished cooking and moved the food to the lunch box.

"You woke up early, guess you want to cook for Nate, huh? Trying to seduce him with your food?" He wiggled his eyebrows at me. It never crossed my mind to cook some for Nate, maybe next time.

"No my annoying brother, I cooked some for you, but if you don't want it, I could give it to Nathan."

"Nooo! Give it to me! I love you!" Chris stood up, hug me and messed my hair.

I pushed him and tidy my hair. "You ruin my hair! But, since I am a good sister, I will give you the food. Mom just left us 25 dollars each and I'm gonna take 10 from you, so here's your 15 bucks." I said giving him his pocket money and lunch box.

"Since I am a good brother, I let it slide. C'mon let's go, we don't want to be late." He replied grabbing his money, lunch, and bag.

I also did the same and went to his car, not forgetting to lock the door.
