Beautifully Broken

Chapter 7

"Look Renae." 

I turn around and there he was, the guy in the wheelchair. I figured out his name is Ethan because in class Mr. Benson said his name. The famous "dude in the wheelchair" is named Ethan.

"Is he stalking me or something?" 

"Maybe." Maggie laughs.

 "Ooo you like him!" Sam laughs and my face turns the color of a fire truck. 

"I do NOT, I barely even know the guy!" I argue but in return Sam throws her dirty rag at me and just laugh.

Ethan takes a sit in his usual spot by the window that's easy for him to get in and out of due to his wheelchair. 

I decide to get back to my job and just forget about Ethan, I mean, come on he can't be stalking me. It's crowd as it usual is at night, Sam and Maggie keep me company. 

"Um hey Renae." Ethan says while coming my way.

 "Yeah?" 

"I was wondering,"

 I just smile, is he asking what I think he is asking?

 "If you would like to go to the art museum with me tomorrow night?" 

Holy crap did he just ask me out? Going to a museum he HAS been stalking me because he knows I love art. 

"Um," I look into his chocolate eyes, no guy has ever paid attention to me like this. 

"Sure."

 "Great I will pick you up at 7." He waves and then rolls away.

"What just happened?" Sam asks as she skips over to me.

 I still feel in shock even after Ethan left. 

"He just asked me out." I say dumbfounded. 

"GIRL! WHAT DID YOU SAY?" 

Now Sam starts jumping up all around me. 

"Yes." 

"YAY!! RENAE!" Sam starts singing and she is now making a scene. 

"Shh, Sam." 

But she won't stop I haven't seen her this excited in a while and oh course she is excited about me going on a date.

"I am so excited for you after your last class I am coming over and we are picking out your outfit from your-" 

"Don't say it!" I finish for her. 

"Come on, it's time to go." I walk behind the desk get my purse while Sam is still so excited and is skipping all around me. I can't take her anywhere. 

After I say my goodbyes to Sam I jump in my car and go home.

"Hey girl!" Marie calls as I open the door to our dorm. Marie is sitting in her pj's, eating ice cream, while doing her homework, and she is on the phone. 

"Hey Mamma G say hi to Renae!" Marie lifts her phone while I call: "Hey Mamma G!" 

"She says hi!" Marie keeps talking to her while I put my purse down and change clothes. 

Finally I can get in my pj's, do my homework, and draw. It's been a weird day. I wonder how Marie will react to the news about my date.

"Okay bye Mamma! Hey Ray!" 

"Hey girl!" I answer while walking into her room. I decided to wear my zebra print fuzzy pj pants, a t-shirt, and no bra. (FREEDOM!) 

"So tell me about your day." 

"Well, I am going on a date tomorrow." I blush then Marie throws a pillow at me and cries: 

"Renae! You didn't tell me you like someone." 

"Well I didn't know if I even like him. He just keeps following me and he is cute. So I didn't want to say no." 

"Ohhh Renae has a boyfriend!" Marie grins and I throw the pillow back at her. 

"Stop it! We will see how the date goes. Don't get to excited." 

"I'm not." Marie just keeps smiling back at me, why is everyone so excited about this? It's no big deal. Just a boy and a girl going to a museum, gosh.

"Where is he taking you?" 

"The art museum." I answer while Marie starts jumping up and down. 

"GIRLLLL that is soo cute! Let me meet him!" She starts hugging me and laughing. 

"Okay you can just be cool." 

"I'm cool sister." Marie flips her hair and I roll my eyes. 

"His name is Ethan and he is in a wheelchair so don't be rude." I command. 

"Okay okay I will behave." She tries to say it with a straight face but then Marie burst out into laughing.

Classes the next day went pretty easy nothing too hard so not much homework. Good but for the first time in like, ever. I am going on a date, I gotta call Cammie. 

"Hey Cam?" 

"Yeah girl?" 

"What do you wear for a date." 

"I will be there in 10." Then she hangs up.

"Hey Cam!" I open the door to see her and hug her. 

"So give me details while we go through your closet." 

So I begin to tell Cammie the same story to. She wants to meet him to, I still don't understand why everyone is making a big deal out of this. But we talk about my date for a while and I ask: 

"How is Thomas?"

 "Oh he is good, your mom has been giving him a hard time." 

"Why?" 

"Because even since you left for college the way you did, she is blaming Thomas." 

"That's not right, I'll talk-" I begin to say but Cammie holds her hand up and says: 

"Best to stay out of it the heat between everyone is not good."

 "Even Annabel?"

 "Yeah totally her to." Cammie snorts. I hate my family drama, I just wish they could just leave Thomas alone.

We decide on my outfit to be a very form fitting red sweetheart neckline dress, black leggings, high heel black boots, and always my black purse. 

Cammie even did my hair and makeup. 

For the first time in a long time I feel pretty. 

Wow.

"Okay girl you look gorgeous." Cammie looks at me and just smiles. 

"Thank you Cammie for everything." She smiles her gold carpet ready smile. 

"Hey girl!" calls Sam and Marie as the enter my dorm. 

"Marie this is Cammie." 

"Hi it's nice to meet you." Cammie waves and Marie smiles: "Nice to meet you to." 

"Girl you look hot!" Sam screams while running to me. 

"All done by Cammie." I look back at Cammie. 

Everyone starts chick chatting then Ethan comes to the door.
