Right Kind Of Wrong

cooking class for the not so classy

I think I've checked out every single book on culinary arts .. I think I've read every thing this town has to offer on this subject. And I borrow Tammie phone a lot to look up videos and books. I don't have a cell phone like most teens do these days. It's becoming so common for everyone to have one. But my cheap o mother wouldn't even think of that. We don't have cable tv either. We have a house phone every now and then. But even that gets turned off. U can't pay all ur bills when most of ur money is spent on drugs. This is why I have to make it threw school and culinary school .I want to move out of this hell. I want to be able to afford nice things. I don't wanna be rich . Or snotty. Just be able to be comfortable. It's now dec. 1 st and I'm thinking I wanna get the Christmas stuff out tonight and decorate the house. I'm the only one who will do this now. So as I walk out the school building I see Jason's car parked out front. I walk over to his car where about 7 girls are standing close by staring at him like he's prince charming. I sorta laugh to myself. He's sitting on the hood sorta . Like leaned up on it. Smoking a cigarette. All bad boy style. Lol. He's looking at me now as I approach his car. He says hey beautiful and watches the Lil 8th grade girls go all blahhhh over it. I see them looking at me like ..bitch ! This makes me laugh . Jason says. It's snowing pretty good out here. I thought I'd give u a ride home. I look at him like Wait what. Ur dad told u to right. . Rick and I have become pretty close .he's like the dad I never had. I haven't seen my dad in about 11 yrs. So I like having Rick around. He's a very smart and nice guy. Why has he subjected him self to mom I'll never know. And he don't do drugs. So yeah this relationship confuses the hell out me. Lol. Jason says nope. I just got off work early and thought it's too cold out to walk so I'm here , come on get in the car. . As I get in the car. The Lil girls are staring still so I wave at them. They wave back .and I think one of them flip me off. Lol. But back to my delema . I couldn't find any new books today. And Tammie is out of town with her boy friends family so yep I'll be bored. As we pull in the drive way Jason says dad went grocery shopping and bought out the store. So I was thinking maybe u could teach me to cook something tonight. He flashes his 20 million dollar whitest white smile ..u know the one that combust and decentigrates panties !!! Yeah that one. Ugh I just nod my head slowly. Like some dumb hum drum. But as u collect my thoughts I'm like hey. I'll teach u to cook a meal. If u will help me dig out all the Christmas stuff and decorate the house. He looks at me like . Really? I give him most shy smile ever and say deal. He looks as though he lost a bet. But smiles and says deal. I clap my hands and say yay in the most childish way ever ... ugh I'm a dork !! So an hour later we have all the Christmas stuff laid out on the living room floor when Rick arrives .he informed us he had three boxes of Christmas stuff from there old place. And we should put that up to .. I agree 100% but Jason looks like that's just more work. He puts out his sad lip and says I'm starving ... so I say OK let's take a break from this and start cooking. I decided from what was in the kitchen I'd make chicken Alfredo. . So I take the chicken out and cook it first. Showing Jason just how to do this. I take the broccoli out and cut it and wash it. Steam it in the microwave for a for mins. Taking out the sauce and four cheese pack . I start to put this meal all together in a oven safe dish. Once I've got it all done and in the oven to bake. Jason and I go back to the living room to help Rick untangle lights and put out the few decorated items. And they put the tree together. 20 mins. Later. I pull this chicken Alfredo out the oven. It looks so good. I notice Jason hovering over my shoulder he's says wow that looks perfect !!! I set the table and serve it up With some sourdough bread. It was so good. The men loved it. After dinner we finish decorating the house and the tree. It looked so nice. We sat down on the couch and watched the dancing lights on the tree. Rick comes in from the kitchen holding three coffee mugs. Yum coffee. This was so nice. It had never been this way before. I was usually home alone doing everything all by myself. So this was nice . Rick left us alone. He went to lay down before tornado, mom gets here. Poor dude ! Jason and I just sat in silence for a while he stared in to the Christmas tree like it was a movie. When he finally came back to reality. He seemed a Lil sad. I didn't ask and he didn't tell. We just sat content ..
