Convenient Coincident

Chapter 3

"Athena!!!!" I looked up from my book to see Brit and Ebony bounding towards me. I smile at them and wave.

"Hey you guys, what's up?" I ask.

"Pollution," Ebony answers. I roll my eyes at her answer and laugh.

"But seriously how's Persie's kid? Is it a boy or a girl? What's its name? How many fingers and toes does it have?" I put my hands up to stop them from bombarding me with questions.

"Fine, girl, Tina, 10 and 10," I respond to each of their questions. They nod their heads then start jumping up and screaming for joy and I just so happened to do it also. We finally stop and were giggling our heads off when someone cleared their throat.

We turned to find Dylan and Nate behind us. Brit instantly stood up and hugged Dylan smiling. They were so in love. I turned to Nate to find him already looking at me with a breathtaking smile on his face.

I cocked my head to the side, "What?" I ask, returning his smile.

"Nothing," He chuckled a little to myself. Hmm... wonder what he was thinking?

"So how's your sister's kid?" Nate asks me. I instantly smile from the mention of Tina.

"She's adorable and I love her to death even though she's only a day old." I reply. His smile gets even brighter if that's even possible. "How about yours?" I ask.

"He's awesome! He has my blue eyes and blonde hair. Lisa said he's gonna look like me when he gets older and I am so honoured." He says with a dreamy smile.

"What's his name?" I ask now extremely curious about this child.

"Landon," He says his smile was so big it looked like it hurt. "What about yours?" he asks now also eager to know.

"Tina," I say. We both go into a conversation about the first time we held the baby. How we came up with the names. How we took the gender it ended up being. Just talking about the kids, until someone cleared their throats interrupting our conversation.

I turned to see Ebony, Brit, Dylan, and Liam Nate's other best friends looking at us with amused expressions.

"What?" I ask, my eyes going a little wide, just noticing they have been asking us a question.

"It's the end of school already and you guys wouldn't stop talking." Ebony says a small smirk pulling at her lips.

"Oh ok...sorry," I mumble. I walk and stand next to Ebony and Brit, while Nate just smiles at them and walks next to Dylan and Liam.

We all parted ways, me, Brit, and Ebony going to the cafe across the street. Before we got out of school though I ran into Ryan.

"Oh hey!" Ryan says to me with a bright smile. To be honest Ryan was very cute. He had brown hair that swooshes down a little higher than his eyes. He also had pretty blue eyes and a dimple in his left cheek.

"Hey Ryan, How's it been going?" I question.

"Good! What about you? I heard your sister had a kid?" I laughed and told him what I told everyone else about Tina.

After telling him about Tina, I told him a quick goodbye and headed to the cafe to meet my friends. When I got there I got a hot chocolate with extra whip cream. I went and sat across from Ebony and Brit.

"So... you and Ryan?" Brit asked with a teasing smile. I laughed and shook my head.

"No, I used to have a crush on him, but he doesn't like me like that," I answer honestly. They both roll their eyes at me, not believing me.

I went home afterwards looking at the clock and finding that it's only 4:30. I walk into the house to find my sister cradling Tina in her arms with love and admiration in her eyes smiling. This moment was probably the first time I've seen my sister act normal.

I was about to slip upstairs so that I wouldn't break their moment, but my sister saw me.

"Hey." she says softly. I waved awkwardly.

"Can you do me a favor? One of my new friends I met at the Young Mommy's Bootcamp is coming over tomorrow with her brother and I need to keep her brother company." I nodded my head smiling.

There was a knock at the door so I went and answered it.

"Hey Noah." I opened the door a little wider for my sister's boyfriend to get in. After I allowed him in I headed up to my room and shut the door behind me.

I finished my homework fairly quickly, so I had nothing to do on a Friday night. Just as I was thinking that my phone rang.

"Hello?" I ask, not checking the caller I.D.

"Hey Athena, wanna come to a party tonight?" Brit asked. I smiled.

"Yea of course,"
