Jessie Jones

Chapter 18: Team BBNM

"So does everyone knows how to play this game," Dad asked.

"Maybe James is the only one who doesn't," I answered.

"Jessie doesn't, she was too young when we used to play this game," Jason answered from beside me ruffling my hair.

"No I wasn't, I was fourteen,"I said.

"Yes fourteen is such a young age, when I was fourteen I watched power rangers and I couldn't even differentiate between a plate and a saucer"

"You still watch power rangers," James said.

"I guess you are just not smart in general," I said sticking my tongue at him.

I was not dreaming. It was real life. We made up with Jason a week ago. The sorry surprise that Nate organized worked. He organized everything perfectly that even made both Jason and me tore up. It was so emotional and sweet. I cooked his favorite meal and then explained to him people can't stay without having misunderstandings and the only thing one can do is to apologize after he realize he is the one at fault, I explained him my side of story. And then their were balloons everywhere in our living room making it look like a children's playground. And his favorite song from Alvin and the chipmunks was playing softly in the background. Then he told me he is so sorry for not hearing my side of story and then he hugged me and ruffled my hair. And then everything was back to normal. It wasn't as easy as it sounds though. I freaked out when we were organizing it, I was so afraid he wouldn't like it. I was afraid it would make him even more angry, but Nate assured me everything would be okay and it was.

After dad finished explaining to James the normal rules and regulations that I had been used to hearing then he asked who will start.

"I will go first," James shouted eying the folded papers.

We had this kind of game each end of the month before I left for California with mom , dad , Jason and me. James was too young as at that time. Each one of us would pick one of the folded papers. In the paper was a topic like school/work, friends, recreation. And whichever topic you pick, you had to talk about it in relation to happenings in your life in the last month. It had always been so fun. And it's a way that we open up to one another and become closer. So immediately Jason suggested we do that all of us agreed.

James chose one of the folded papers. He opened and shouted, "sports!!".

"Okay I played football in school every Thursday and my teacher said I am so good and I am going to be a famous footballer." James said. He did quite good for someone playing for the first time. Dad went second he chose work so he talked about his promotion and about his new boss that was a very giant man. Then Jason chose next, he chose school.

"I may get my admission or rejection letter for MSC college anytime from tomorrow," Jason said. I completely forgot he told me about changing school.

"Are you still changing school?" I asked sadly.

"Yeah if I get admission. But did you forget what I promised you?

"You will be visiting me with you pj,no I didn't," I said with I laugh as I remembered that night,"

"Pajamas?" James asked confused. Both of us ignored him.
