My Best friend

Chapter 4

Sorry for not updating this sooner but I started school a while ago so I've been kinda busy but now I'm back so here ya go!
-----------------------------------------------------------

After dinner with my family, DJ says goodbye and heads home. I'm so happy about seeing him again today that it takes a while for me to fall asleep.

The next few days are pretty normal. I catch up with DJ and hang out with Teri some more. Finally the weekend comes and I'm so relieved to have gotten through my first week as 'new girl'. I'm walking through the halls to the schools entrance to head home when I spot DJ at his locker.

"Hey buddy!" I say when I get closer. He looks at me and smiles before saying a quick hi back. He still doesn't talk much at school."So," I ask "Since it's Friday, wanna head over to the old club house with Teri? She wants to see it.".

He just says "Sure". We find Teri and walk to my house to drop off our bags and stuff. Well except DJ since we're heading to his house any way. We finally get to his house and decide to eat something before heading down the trail behind his house leading to the club house.

I don't know why but DJ seems kinda nervous. Like he's worried about something. As we walk into the kitchen, and older lady is standing at the sink rinsing off some strawberries. "Hey grandma." DJ says quietly as he walks over to the lady. She smiles and gives him a small hug and kiss on the cheek. It's cute cause he has to bend down a little on account of his height.

I remember his grandma. She's always been so sweet and nice. She's pretty too. She looks younger than she is. Some might mistake her for his mom. I say hi in a way where she'll recognize me." Hey Nana!" I say in the same voice I used as a kid. She smiles widely at me and walks over to hug me.

"Oh Katherine dear, how are you? Oh it's been too long!" She exclaims. I tell her how I've missed her too and we catch up really quick. Then I think of something." Hey, Nana," I ask, "What are you doing here and not at your house next door?". She glanced over at DJ for a split second. Then turns back to me smiling.

"Oh, I moved in to take care of DJ while his parents are...away.You know how he needs someone to watch over him!" She answers. I nod and look over at DJ, who's rummaging through the fridge." DJ?" I ask. I laugh as he looks over, a piece of pizza in his mouth and two soda cans in each hand.I say, "Wanna head over to the club house?". He nods and hands me,Teri and Nana each a soda, keeping one for himself.

We say bye to Nana and head out the back door. We open the gate at the back of his backyard that leads out of the fenced in area into the woods. A little trail starts at the fence and leads into the maze of trees in front of us. Smiling at the familiar scent of trees and nature, I start walking. DJ and Teri start following me.

It takes about five minutes to get to our destination. When we reach the familiar clearing I start smiling even more, if that's possible. We walk a little ways and then I see it. Down a little dip on the other side of the clearing is our little house. It sits at the edge of the rest of the forest, in a low branch tree. I can't wait any longer and run down the hill and up the few steps opening the door.

My breath hitches slightly as I look around. It's amazing in here. The blue walls have old posters and band T-shirts pinned to them. We went to those together. I also find our Disney World tickets pinned to a boared, and out Mickey ears hats are hanging on a little hook. There's a board with a bunch if pictures on it too. There's us with other people and our families but most of them are just us.

The floor is half hard wood and the other half is carpet. The side closest to the door is hardwood. There's a table on one side and a mini fridge next to it. A small three person couch is on the other side. On the carpeted part of the room there's an entertainment center against the wall. A flat-screen TV is on it and a DVD player and PS4 are in the cabinets. Across from that on the other side of the room are four blue and white tye dyebean bag chairs. They go with the room nicely.

"So," I turn around to see DJ standing behind me, looking nervous,"do you like it?". I attack him with a hug and whisper to him,"I love it. It's awsome.". He hugs back and I can tell he's relieved. We're having a nice little moment until...

"Awwwwwwe! I so ship it!". Me and DJ let go of each other and look over to see Teri. She's got her hands on her face and she's smiling like an idiot.

"Shut up." We both say, slightly blushing. DJ more than me. Teri just laughs and walks into the room. We spend the rest of the night talking and laughing and watching stuff on Netflix. At around 9:30 me and Teri decide to head home. We say bye to DJ and Nana and head to my house to have a sleepover.

And I can only imagine what Teri will want to talk about.

Welp, there's chapter four! What do you think? Good? Needs something else? Who likes Nana? She's so sweet isn't she? Well that's all for now but let me know what you think and I'll see you later my friends!
