Calling All High Schoolers

Chapter 8

When we got home I had to clear my mind and I invited Delilah and Levi to help cook dinner. Levi told his mom that he wanted to stay for dinner. He was not that good at cooking so I was using my powers to make up for him. Delilah suggested making burgers and homemade chips. Levi maned the grill, Delilah was making the chips, and I was responsible for dessert. 

"How do you feel about brownies?" Brownies are my favorite, so I know how to make them. 

"That sounds really good," they said in unison. We all laughed and I started baking. 

I preheated the oven and I used my abilities to put all the ingredients in the bowl. Time flew by fast and the burgers were done, but the brownies were still in the oven. We decided to eat outside because it is a beautiful day. I sat in the middle of Delilah and Levi and we started eating. It was really good to have a good time with no distractions. The food was mouth-watering good. It was all coming together and I would like it to stay that way.  

"So what are you doing for your birthday?", asked Delilah. 

"I was thinking to have my party at Fro's Shakes. I know the owner and he is so nice and he is really funny too."   

Tyrone was the owner of the place and he had a really big afro, hence the name Fro. He graduated with my sister and they used to date freshmen year, but they are still good friends. Levi ate his dinner really quick, but Delilah and I savored the meal. 

When we finished up I levitated all of the dishes in the kitchen and we went to ask Kellin to drive us to Fro's to reserve a party. Kellin could sense that I still felt bad about what happened at the beach. He gave me a reassuring smile as Delilah, Levi, and I got in the car. Of course, Deliah put me next to Levi. He was such a nice and sweet guy so, I wanted us to work.

I could smell the sweets from the parking lot and I saw Fro whipping up his famous shakes. You could see that we were going a really good group of friends. When we walked into the door Fro had a big grin on his face. He loved me because I was the little sister of two really great people. I, however, am just a mere shadow of my family.

"How is it goin' Pop. I heard that you are apart of the family business now," said Tyrone. 

"Yeah Dad is teaching me some extra tricks and I am teaching Levi right here how to control it."

"Do you guys want on the house shakes?"

"OF FRICKEN COURSE!," exclaimed Delilah.

All of us laughed except for Delilah because she was very serious about what she wanted. I loved about her. We sat down at the counter and Fro went in the back for our shakes. 

"What flavor do you guys want?" I asked.

"I want Strawberry and Levi wants Oreo," said Delilah.

"Then one strawberry, one Oreo, and my usual for us," I said to Tyrone.

My usual was a triple chocolate with sprinkles. My dad and I used to get them every Friday after school in kindergarten. I miss the days where I was filled with wonder and amazement for the world. Also, I was his baby girl beaming with potential. Boy how I have not lived up to that yet. I really want to show my dad to be proud of me again like he did oh so long ago. 

Fro came out of the back with three tall frothy glasses of milkshakes for us. They looked so good and I saw the devious look in Delilah's eye, so I knew that she was ready to devour this milkshake. 

"So, Tyrone, next week my fifteenth is coming up and I was wondering if I could have my birthday party here. My sister will be there so you can catch up with her and also, you can meet our grandma too. You will love her, so will you let me?" When I said this I batted my eyelashes.

He smiled and nodded his head yes.
