Chapter 4: My Bubba
It was a Sunday afternoon and Molly and I went to the store to by new clothes for Max. We went to Target and walked to the boys section. I saw Luke and I ducked. I don't think he saw me. At least, I hope he didn't see me. I crawled to this shorts section and picked out two pairs. Molly saw me and bent down and asked,
"What are you doing?"
" I'm um...checking the shorts."
She smiled and said, "Ok well get up please" I did and followed her to the shirt section. He was with a girl and they were taking. I put a hat over my head and walked passed them while accidentally over-hearing their conversation.
"Come on bubba please!"
" No, Ashely I can't!"
" Why not?"
" Because.... we just can't!"
I speeded walked to were Molly was and fell. Luke turned around and saw me.
"Mia?"
"What? No! Bye!"
I ran off. My heart was pounding and I was breathing so fast I think the lady next to us in line was scared. I looked back and saw him and ducked again.
"Bubba?! what's wrong?"
"Shut us Ashely please don't call me that!" Luke just said and left. Once Molly paid for the clothes we left too.
When I got home I thought to myself, 'why was she calling him bubba? that's what I call him! Not her, what? was I jealous? no I can't no! But he was my bubba.'
I put on a cd to calm me down and the song Numb by Linkin Park was on. I smiled and then my phone buzzed.
TEXT MESSAGE!!
Hi
What do you want?
Wow! calm down cutie!
Don't call me that!
Why?
Why?! You wanna know why?!
Yes, please.
Bubba? Ashely?
Oh! so you were there.
What?
She's an ex and she read my text messages and saw that you called me bubba and she got jealous.
I stared at my phone no knowing what to say.
Oh well you seemed mad being called that.
Just from her, she always get jealous over little things.
Oh, sorry.
It's ok, but it seems that you were jealous! :o
NO! IM NOT!!
What ever cutie.
Ha-ha.
Well gotta go....bye
K
Can I call you something different?
Sure why?
Just because now that Ashley has read my messages I feel weird using it.
Ok
Um..... tomorrow ok
Ok see ya, bubba sorry is that ok?
Yeah, it's cute coming from you.
Oh my gosh! I feel on my bed and smiled. Maybe I do like Luke? Who knows right!I don't know if I like him or if I don't....its so confusing! I hate being a sixteen year old girl. But one things for sure was that he was my bubba.
I liked saying that bubba, it seemed cute. Hopefully his nickname for me is cute to, look at me thinking about this! What am I gossip girl?! Max walked in and sat on my bed. He laid down next to me and we both looked up and my ceiling.
He put the bag of smoosh in my face and I grabbed some. Smoosh was this thing we came up with when we were little. It's a mixture of Popcorn, M&ms, gummy bears, and a little bit of chocolate syrup. Before I knew it Tony was with us. We stayed their looking at the ceiling.
Max sat up and patted our arms. He put three fingers up and linked them together, meaning family. I smiled and hugged him. Tony hugged us and we stayed their the rest of the night throwing popcorn in the air and catching them in our mouths.
Max laughed so hard! He turned red, this might be the first time since our mom left us that he's turned red. Tony has finally interacting with Max, he used to ignore him.
Molly walked in and saw that we were eating. "What is that?!"
"Smoosh! want some?"
she put her hand in carefully and took out popcorn a worm and some m&ms. She ate it.
"Does this have chocolate syrup on it?" We all nodded. She smiled and walked out
"I don't understand you kids."
We laughed and kept eating. After that I laid in bed thinking about things. What goes threw my mind after a bag of Smoosh is candy land, candy, music, boys, and somhow Katty Perry. Smoosh was like our little bag of pot.
I kept thinking about Luke and how he used the turn the way you say it is cute. Does that mean he thinks I'm cute? Or just the way I say it? Whatever it's not important because I'm not that into him. I think? Oh god! One day I will get the answers I need and it'll all make sense. I hope....
