Double Differences

Chapter Three

I woke up to my phone ringing. Is was Brooke.  

"HEEEEEEY!!!!! How'd you sleep?!?!" She cried into my ear.  

"Ugh, I was sleeping fine until you busted my ear dumb." I grumbled.  

"Oh, sorry..."  

"Yeah, whatever, forget about it, it's fine." I told her. 

"Okay! Well when are you getting home?" She chirped  

"Ummm... I don't know... I think maybe Monday afternoon. I'm going to miss that day I think." I really did know when I was getting back but I wasn't going to tell her that, because she would be disappointed by how far away. I also really didn't want to think about when I would have to leave Andrew, Josh and Emmy.  

"Okie, well I have to go, Maple is finally waking up. So I have to go now. See ya! Byezzzzzz!!!" Brooke bubbled at me. 

"Okay, bye see you when I get back." I replied.  

I hit end and rolled over into something warm. I put my hand on it thinking it was my grandma's cat, but it wasn't furry. So I opened my eyes to see what it was and I saw Andrew sitting on the edge of my bed. I jumped up and screamed. As he clamped his hand over my mouth. When I realized that he wasn't going to hurt me I stopped struggling. He let me go and went out of my room to let me get dressed.  

It was already almost eight o'clock when I got to his house. Emmy was already starting to cook Josh and Andrew breakfast. She was making two dozen eggs and twenty eight strips of bacon for them. I sat down at the chair next to Andrew, and he smirked. "Did you like your wake-up call?"  

I punched him gently "No, that was not fun. Never do that again. Or I will wake you up in some creepy fashion next time." 

He smirked at me and looked at his phone. "Oh crap! Kat wanted me to meet her at her house this morning. I told her she could have breakfast with us." 

I raised my eyebrows at him. "Who's Kat? Is she your giiiiiiirlfriend?" I giggled and got up to go help Emmy with the eggs. 

"Umm... actually yes, she IS my girlfriend." He mumbled. 

Emmy and I both whip out heads around and stared at him like he is completely insane. "Why would she even want to go out with YOU. I mean we love ya and stuff but your ANDREW! No one wants to date you!" Emmy cried. 

"Well now I'm sad, to know that's what you think of me, but you did say ya loved me." Andrew smirked. 

"I did not." snapped Emmy.  

"Whatever you say cupcake." Teased Josh. 

"Okay, so who wants to come with me to pick up Kat?" Andrew looked pleadingly at Josh.  

"I will!" I called out from across the room.  

"Ugggghhhh" moaned Andrew. "Fine." 

"Yay! I'll meet you in the truck." I called already halfway down the hall.
