Love Kami...

Chapter 6

I felt as if I was about to fall asleep during French when I was startled suddenly by the loud noise of the bell.   I was so startled that not only did I jump in my seat, I fell to the ground.  

"Get your butt off the ground silly!"  I heard Angie say as she rounded the corner of my desk.

"I was only on the ground for a second!"  I whined looking up at her.  I looked down at the floor as I prepared myself to get off the ground. 

"Here, let me help."  I looked up to see a hand that belonged to Nate.  I blushed as I took his hand.  He pulled and I was up again on my two feet, but my face was against his chest.  I blushed harder as I stepped away from him.  He rubbed the back of his neck with a smile and slight blush.

"Sorry, I pulled a little too hard."  He said to me as I picked up my bag and slung it over my shoulder.  I looked at Angie with a smile and then looked to Nate.  I then realized that I considered them as my best friends.  I smiled once more and locked arms with Angie.  We proceeded to skip down the hallway with Nate at our heels.  I could hear him laughing behind us and I smiled harder.

I again relived the conversation that I had with Angie a couple minutes before.  

~~~~~~~~~~

"Angie..... Angie..... Angie!"  I whispered to Angie during class.

"What?!"  She looked over at me with a pencil dangling from her mouth.

"Do you want to come with me over to my brother's house after school?"  I said to her questionably.   A look of confusion,  thought, and then regret washed over her face.

"Damn, I would but I promised Jamie that we would practice guitar after school today!"  She looked at me with remorse.  I wore a smile anyway because I knew that she wouldn't hurt my feelings on purpose. 

"It's ok,.  I said to her wearing my smile.  "I am going with Nate already anyway."  I said looking down at my paper filled with doodles.  I looked back up at Angie only to find her smirking at me and giving me wavy eyebrows.  

"SHUT UP!"  I whispered to her as she started to giggle.  I tried to keep a calm composure, but I ended up cracking and giggling along with her.  Which earned us a stern glare from Dr. Dunn.

I found us outside with Angie waving her hand in front of my face.  I shook my head and batted her hand away as she came in for a hug.

"Be sure to text me ok?  And tell me how it goes with Sam.  And i'm sorry that I couldn't make it with you and Nate."  Angie said to me as I hugged her back.   "Have fun ok?"  She said as she released me and looked me in the eye.  I smiled.

"I will and it's ok."  I said as she smiled back.  "Bye!"  I said to her as she turned away from us and towards her bus.  

"Bye!"  She yelled back to us as she entered the bus.  I turned back to face Nate as our hands met and our fingers entwined.  

"Now Sam said that he would meet us in the front of the school.  He has a black car so keep an eye out for him."  I said scanning the road and the parking places.

Just then I heard the roar of a motor and looked out to see my brother's car (picture above) pull into the nearest parking place.  As usual his car got the attention of most people and it did.  Many students gawked at the car and then at me as I walked towards it.  Nate looked down at me in awe and I smirked back at him.  The engine died and I heard the car door open and then close.  I let go of Nate's hand and ran towards my brother.  He laughed at me as I jumped into his arms and we laughed together.  As you can imagine, I was pretty short.  The rest of my family was tall and muscular, but I was short and curvy.   Although, it did help in times like these where it was easy for my brother to lift me up.  

"Congratulations!"  I said to him.  "Now put me down."  He set me down on the ground and smiled down at me.

"Get in the car,  we are going to be late." he said to me with another smile.  "Get your friend in here too."  I looked back at Nate and waved him over as I sat in the front seat.  He laughed at me as he pulled open the back seat.  I loved the sound of my brother's car.  I closed my eyes and smiled as the engine roared to life.  I looked in the rear view mirror at Nate and I smiled  as we pulled out into the road.  I smiled again looking at my brother and then his hand seeing the silver ring on his finger.  I laughed quietly to myself as i drifted off the the sound of the engine and the quiet music in the background.
