WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??

Thirteen

(From this chapter, the story is going to be continued in Becky Corner's POV)  Sorry to do it from the 13th Chapter.  Hehe! ;)

'Yes, Kimmy?'  I blew into the receiver.

'Umm!-Yeah, Becky...You want to come over  to my home, today?  'Cause I don't think mom will be having any problem having you at home today.  So what are you saying?'  Kimberly's voice boomed in.

I am talking to Kim on the phone, right now and she just asked if I could come to her home today.  How cool is that?

'Suuurrrreee!'  I drawled.  'Why won't I?'

'Awww, baby.  I know you would.'  she said. 'At least this time.'  she added slowly.  Well, Yeah.  Last time when she invited me, I had my bloody brother Rob, and his double-bloody girlfriend, Hilary.  So, I couldn't go.  'Becky, you can come anytime, today.'

'Okay, Boss!'  I said dramatically, then put down the phone receiver, grinning widely.

I danced away to my room, checking my watch for the time.

Huh!  11 am.

Waking up at 11 am and talking to you best friend on the phone on a fine Sunday morning ( I mean, almost noon) is the sweetest thing in the planet according to me...Hey?  Don't look at me like that.  You can't blame me for that.

'Becky?!?'  A scowl interrupted my daydream.  Without any doubt, I could tell that it belonged to my mom.  

'Yeah?'  I said cheekily.

'Do you know what time this is?'  I received a dreadful, hard glare from her.

'Okayyy...I'm sorry!  I won't do this again.'  I assured her, ending the argument. 

'Go!'  A hard scowl.

Without wasting a second, I rushed off to my room to have my bath.  I picked up my SuperWoman towel and stepped into the bathroom.

I turned on the shower, and let the warm water embrace me.  I stretched my arms, relaxing them from a big night's sleep.  Well, life all went great since a few days.  Rob and his dumb girlfriend had gone.  That's a great relief, isn't it?  

I'm thinking about Hunt, I mean Chase Jones too much nowadays.  And I cannot get him out of my head.

Seriously, I just can not believe that Kim's big brother is Hunt.  How can she be without knowing that her brother is a wizard?  I know the answer.  Cassie (Storm, the orange woman) clearly said that nobody of the witch's or wizard's family members or anyone should know their magical secret.  But still...Kimberly is too normal, having no idea what Chase really is.  And Chase is a wizard!

And by the way, talking of Chase...he's a really good-looking guy.  As long as I know, he always has a smirk on his face, which makes him really handsome.  Incredibly!  And that irresistible dimple on his left cheek when he smiles.  Too good for the audience who're watching.  And when I say audience, it includes me, nowadays from that day I knew he was Kim's brother.  So last Thursday, I was in the canteen complaining to Kimberly of excess Math homework, when Chase entered the canteen, his fingers knitted with Silvia's.  He didn't notice Kimberly at all.  Or maybe he pretended like he has nothing to do with her, but as he passed by, he jerked his head ever so slightly towards me and damped me completely with a sleepy, half smile (It was mostly a smirk!). Oh god!  I think I blushed.  He smelled like popcorn and mint.  It just lasted for a second, before he looked away and ruffled his hair playfully, with his free hand.  But still...I hate to admit that his smile had an impact on me.  That's too much of cuteness for an unnoticed girl like me.
