My Life in Snapshots: Kacey's Story

Chapter 11

Hey guys! Had a very busy day at school. Had to go to the dentist today. Wisdom teeth are going to be pulled out in a few weeks...Blah!! Well here's the next chapter!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kathey let me have today off; knowing today was the barbeque at Logan’s house. I was nervous as it was-I was going crazy trying to pick what outfit would be nice enough.

 "Kacey let's go. We're going to be late." Alexia said wearing a mini skirt and a nice shirt.

"Hold on a minute!" I yelled as I was still in my sweatpants.

"What's taking so long? You're still in your pajamas?" She said coming in my room.

"I don't know what to wear."

"Just put on a nice shirt and shorts or something."

"But Alexia this is his family, I want to impress them."

"You'll do that by being yourself. How about this?" She said holding up mom’s nice summer dress that she wore every time she went on dates with dad.

"But that's mom’s."

"Kacey, she would want you to wear this." She held up the dress to my body so I could see what I would like in it.

 In the mirror I could see my mom. She just smiled and disappeared.

 "Okay, I'll wear it." I said with a smile.

"Now change quickly, we are ten minutes late." She said closing the door.

 I put on the dress and I could see my mom in me. I looked just like my mom. Putting on matching eye shadow I wished my mom was here to give me the motherly talk about boys.

Walking out my door Alexia just stared at me.

 "What?"

"You look just like mom."

"Is that bad?"

"No, it’s good. Logan's family is going to love you, just relax."

I grabbed my purse, a jacket, my camera and we were off.

My hands gripped the steering wheel tight and I tensed up.

 "Kacey will you chill? If you hold onto the steering wheel any stronger you might pull it off." Alexia said observing my hands.

 Finally reaching his house there were cars packed in the driveway, kids running around the yard and people surrounding the house. I gulped as I unbuckled my seat belt.

 "There's Lauren!" Alexia said as she and Taryn ran out the door.

"Girls!" I yelled but they were already long gone.

 I just stared straight and didn't move until someone poked the window and scared me.

 "You going to stay in there the whole night?" An old lady said as I got out. I didn't say anything, I was a little nervous. "You must be Kacey." she said.

"How'd you know?"

"You look exactly like the pictures Logan has drawn, and he's told me about you. Come on sweetie; let's go join the rest of them." She said pulling me with her.

My heart started to beat fast, I'm sure grandma could hear it.

 "Who's this beautiful young lady?" A middle aged guy asked as he approached us.

"This is Logan's girl." Grandma said smiling.

"Well it’s nice to meet you. I'm Uncle Kenny." He said, sticking out his hand.
