Still The Good Girl?

Chapter 4

We are in the car for a little while until the car comes to a stop. I open my eyes, which I don't remember closing to see that we are just at a red light. Then Nicole pulls up to T.G.I. Fridays, we get out and walk in. We are seated right away to a both by the windows.

Then the waiter comes over.

"Hello I'm John and I'll be your waiter tonight. Can I get you two anything to drink?" John asked us.

"Um yea can I get a coke?" I ask.

"And can I get a coke also?" Nicole asked.

"Yep coming right up" John says leaving us to our not so fun dinner. We are sitting in silence looking over the menu.

"Do you know what your getting?"she asks me.

"Um no I still have to look" I say. I look over the whole menu and finally decide to get a hamburger with french fries.

"Do you know what your gonna get?" I say happily.

"Yea. Just tell me when your ready" she is also very happy.

"I'm ready so when your ready we shall order"

"So what's your all time favorite drink?" She asks trying to start a conversation.

"Pomegranate lemonade" I say and she looks at me confused.

"I've never heard of it"

"Oh that's because you can only really get it at Disney World"

"You've been to Disney World before?"

"Yea I've been there 6 times. My parents are even saying I can go spring or winter break with a friend or two."

"Can I be that friend or two?"

"Yea!" I say then start to laugh at Nicole who is bouncing in her seat and clapping her hands.

"Yeaaa" she screams.

"Well we shall make so much plains and we might just be able to bring Jake, Lolu, Jill, and Will!" I am so happy, I really do hope that I can bring them all. John comes back with our dinner. I forget when he even brought us our drinks.

"Thank you" I say and Nicole just rolls his eyes.

"Trying to flirt with the waiter?" Nicole says after he leaves.

"Maybe?" I whisper with a smirk on my face.

"Well I think I know someone who has the hots for you" Nicole starts to giggle and I start to blush.

"Who?"

"Luke"

"WHAT!" I scream. everyone looks at me. "we only talked to each other the first day of school and you think he likes me?"

"Well I heard from a birdie that he likes you"

"And who may that be?" I say in disbelief.

"His BFFF"

"What the hell does that mean?"

"Beat Friend From Football... dah ever one knows that." there is a pause and I'm dying to know who his 'BFFF' is.

"And who may that be?"

"Will!"

"Really?"

"Yea they have been friends ever since they were in like pre-k. But then Luke became the bad boy player and Will didn't want to so he joined the cool table."

"So how did you end up being friends with Will and when did he come and start sitting with you at lunch?"

"Well there was an open seat at the 'cool table' which is our table just saying and we invited him with open arms"

"Aww that's so sweet"

"Yea I know! Well how about we play that question game?"

"Yea you go first"

"Ummm well what is your favorite mythical creature?"

"The mermaid. I have my room themed as it"

"Really that's so cool!" Nicole shouts.

"How about you?" I ask

"Um I have to say Yeti!" Nicole says it in a scary way, if you were like five. We eat our dinner and talk and laugh.

~~<3~~

On the drive home we sit in a silence that is not awkward silence and listen to the music playing. I turn down the music and ask Nicole.

"Who do you live with at home?" I ask curious.

"My mom and brothers, they are twins."

"Oh I've always wanted to meet twins! Are they identical?" I ask in a chirpy way.

"As a matter of fact, they are but Bobby has short hair and Cole has longer hair so that's how me and mom tell them apart" she says with a smile on her face.

"Tell me more about your family, if you want to?" I say kindly.

"There is nothing really else but us my dad died when I was really little" she starts tearing up. I should have never asked.

"S-sorry I-I didn't mean t-to upset you" I don't know why but I am really sad. Well who wouldn't be if your dad died when you were so little.

"It's fine you didn't know" she says calming down.

We arrive home and she pulled up in front of my house.

"Thank you so much for dinner" I say dragging out the 'so'.

"No thank you it was way better then Bobby's eggs and bacon. I hate bacon" she laughs lightly and so do I.

"You hate bacon too?" I question her, I really hate bacon all it is is fat in grease.

"Yep" she says popping the 'p'

"Oh wow never think I would see the day where someone else doesn't like bacon... but bye see ya tomorrow. and thanks again" I say/shout from where I am on the steps to my house.

"No problem I hade fun and I didn't think I would either." She says laughing and I join.

I walk in the house and go up to my room and yell to mom and Caleb that I'm home.

When I walk in to my room I grab my pjs and put them on. Then I lay in bed and go to sleep thinking about how hard things must be, living with no dad. well I kinda know how she

feels I mean my dad is never home but still never able to see him is hard.
