I grab my coat and wait for Soda before leaving the beautiful house. We walk down the street and follow the directions Marebelle gave us, and sure enough there was a small door with a large sign that reads 'FLYY CAFE' on top of it. I lighty pat Sodas forearm and look at the cafe. He turnes to me then to the cafe before she started to walk toward the little brown door, me following. We opened the door and and a bell rang from the top. We started walking towards the cashier who had short, blonde hair and a warm welcoming smile.
" hi, how can i help you?'
"hi.. ' i looked down to her name tag that read Hali "Hali" i smiled back
"can we get two burgers and fries please?" I ordered what ever i saw looked good
"is that all?" she said after pushing some bottons
"And a large cup of water?"
"okay" she trailes off while pushing more bottons "your tottal is $9.68" I handed her the money and she put it in her register and handed me my change and food "Thank you" i say before Soda guides me to an open booth.
We both take a seat across from each other and dig into our sandwiches.
"Crap we forgot the straws, Uhm Miss?" Soda raises his hand for the a worker
"yes?" that same girl, Hali askes
"im sorry, can we please get two straws?"
"certainly" she smiles before leaving to get the straws
"so.." Soda face me " Hows this one? Shes nice right?"
"They all were" i roll my eyes
"shut up, but seriously do you like her, i think shes pretty cool" he says before taking another bite.
" I dont know. It doesnt matter anyway, Its only temperary" I respond before Hali returns with 2 straws.
"here you go" she says, placing the two on the table
" Iv never seen you two around here, you new?" she places her hands on her hips
"uhm.. yeah, we just got here yesterday" i answered
"cool, why, family on a buisness thing or something?"
"actually this is our new foster home" he explains
"oh" her facial expressions change from perky to bummed out but quickly recovers.
"so.. Im Hali," She introduces herself
"Hi im Soda, This is Nalla" he introduces back
"ooohh thats a pretty name, how you spell it?"
"N-A-L-L-A" i respond
"Isn't it N-A-L-A??"
"Uhm, no. 2 L's" I correct her
"Oh are one of those L's scilent"
I stare at her disbelievingly, and she bursts into laughter
"im just messing around with you. But seriously, Nalla is a really pretty name" " and im sorry what was your name again?" she turns to my brother
"Soda" he answers
"Soda? your name is .. Soda? are you shitting me right now? why were you named Soda?
"well,, My mother was in love with a famous novel. Soda happened to be one of the characters" he explains
"OHH, which novel?"
"The Outsiders" he states
"never read it, so are you guys like dating" she gives me a wicked smile after changing the subject.
"No No no no NO no, He' s my brother" i giggle from the stupid accusation
"Oh okay, i got you..So why are you in fostercare agian?"
"well,..uhm.. our father is in jail" Soda explains
"for what?" God this girl is noisey as hell
"Don't worry about it " I rudely answer
"Oh.. Kay, what about your mom, is she in jail too?" she askes
"no, Uhm, She uh.. " He trails off looking at me and we both stay silent until she finally catches on .
"ooohhh.. im sorry, thats rough, my mom too."
"really?" we both looked at her
We never met other people withought a parent. Well, the kids from the foster kids ende up getting adopted and now there happy. Knowing that someone else knows sort of what we went throug makes me like her more
"yeah. Howd it happen?" she asks
I look at Soda who has his head down before answering "cancer" i say weakly "yours?" soda aska
"Car Accedent" she shrugs like its not that bog of a deal. It must have happened a long time ago. Then again our mom passed when i was 9 and me and Soda are still not over it. Some people must be stronger than we are.
"So now its just me and my old man" she smiles, knocking me out of my thoughts
"I'm sorry" i say for both me and Soda
"Eh"she shrugs "well, ill see you both around here?" she askes and we nod
I catch Soda staring at her while she walks away and i hit him in the arm
"what!!?!??" he whines
"You like her!?!? You don't know her!!! Jesus Soda, we have been here for less than a wee.k now!!! keep it in your pants!!!" i screamly whisper
He looks at me with wide eyes before looking around, making sure no one hears our conversation
"first off, I dont like her okay?, second, dont get all jelouse, don't worry your the only girl for me" he says teasingly "And i have no time for dating when i need to worry about your messed up ass okay?"
I smile weakly before looking up at him
"Forever and ever? I ask
"Forever and ever" he responds
