One True Love

Chapter 28

I felt shaking and two bare hands in the side and middle back. I slowly open my eyes to see Ian next me in a car. That's when I remembered why I was here.

I looked at Ian and he smiled at me which I happily returned.

"Are you ready to go to SkyZone?" Ian asked revealing the building standing tall in front of the car.

I got excited, I couldn't wait to get in and jump around. I would mostly just tumble but I would still have fun. Ian and I jumped out the car on opposite sides.

He was taking forever so I grabbed his hand and pulled him in the building. He laughed as I did so. And I chuckled.

Ian's mom paid for everything and we put on the socks that are mandatory to jump with. And then we went into the foam pits first.

I did a front tuck and Ian just jumped in. I laughed to myself about how more advanced I am than him. Then we went on the trampolines and I did some tumbling including backhand springs, back tucks, front tucks, round off backhand spring, and backhand spring tucks. Since it was my day off, I didn't do too high advanced tumbling.

Ian did some weird jumps and stuff, and just messed around and had fun. In another section there was a tempo line baste ball net. You jumped once and tried to get the basketball in the hoop.

Ian tried and he made it, I then tried and but I missed and failed, horribly. Ian laughed at me, hysterically. I rolled my eyes and pointed out another section which had dodgeball.

Ian hated dodgeball but I forced him to play it with me. Luckily, we ended up on the same team. I hit out some people but Ian had hit out most.

I laughed to myself realizing that Ian hasn't noticed I had my braces on. He'll find out, eventually. After dodgeball we decided to go do everything one last time and then we left to go get something to eat.

We decided to go get some McDonald's and Starbucks. You'd be surprised if you get a McDonald's meal and a Double Chocolate Chip Frappé it tastes really good. I was happy I got to go to SkyZone. It was really fun, but I did have one of my best friends with me.

Ian and I immediately connected, and I think that we were becoming really great friends. And we have only know each other for at least 2 days. Maybe 1 day. I liked that feeling.

Almost the whole car ride home it was silent. It wasn't a awkward silence, it was a comfortable silence. Whenever I'm with Caleb and everyone and it's silent it's usually a awkward silence. It was nice and enjoyable to be able to have peace and quiet for once.

Ian's eyes fell on mine as we looked at each other. We both smiled at each other and he looked confused. I knew he had seen my braces. I quickly shut my mouth.

"BRACES!" Ian shouted,
"Let me see them again. Please?"

I shook my head trying hard not to smile at him. He gave me the puppy dog eyes, I hated it.

I smiled wide for him and he smiled again. Grinning from ear to ear happily.

I almost completely forgot about the challenges I was supposed to be doing with Caleb all week. I slapped my plan against the "T" of my face.

"What?" I heard Ian asked curiously.

I explained to Ian the challenges, he wanted to join so I let him in on it. Now I got to do Ian and Caleb's makeup. I texted Caleb that Ian is going to be doing the rest of the challenges with us for the rest of the week. He just responded "Ok." and nothing else.

Ian's mom pulled up into their driveway and said goodbye to Ian with a hug and a goodbye to me with a hug. Ian and I then, walked over to my house. I hope he didn't mind our big house.

Last time someone was over our house, Juliet tried to bring her old childhood friend who lives here, she went inside and got a tour of the house. After that she was so jealous that she wasn't Juliet's friend. I don't want that to happen to Ian.

When we reached the house, Ian seemed surprised but he continued on anyway. I opened the door and walked in with him.

"Caleb! I'm home!" I yelled so upstairs could hear me.

I heard footsteps trample down the stairs and then a second later Caleb appeared. When he approached me he engulfed me into a tight embrace. Has was warm.

Ian smile faded as it did at school when Caleb kissed me before. When Caleb and I pulled away I introduced Caleb and Ian. They acted friendly but the atmosphere of the room was tense.

Caleb told me to run upstairs ad grab my makeup, which I obeyed. I dashed up the stairs and into my bathroom. I grabbed almost all of my makeup except for the nude lipsticks.

Luckily, I ha birth Ian and Caleb's skin tones for everything. I had Ian's because Ian was my skin tone and I had Caleb's when I wanted to use a foundation that was just one shade darker.

I was pleased with everything that I picked out, so I grabbed a makeup bag and shoved everything I was going to use for Caleb in one bag and everything I was going to use for Ian in the other.

I was happy that I had at least two or more different types of each kind of makeup. It came in handy for this situation. But since Ian didn't get to do my makeup yesterday he is going to do it today.

I figured Ian and I could share all the same makeup products since he was my skin tone. I went into the bathroom and removed all of my makeup from this morning.

I was makeup free, I wasn't self-conscious about bot wearing makeup, Gabe, Will, and Caleb already limit that amount of makeup I could wear by a lot.

I rolled my eyes about the thought of them, then not letting me out the house since I was wearing way too much makeup.

I walk downstairs to see Ian on the couch sitting upwards on his phone and Caleb on the patio getting everything set up for the challenge.

"They don't like each other." I reminded myself. Let's just hope things get better.
