On the bus ride home, i just couldn't stop thinking about what could happen on friday and following on saturday. I got my earphones on loud playing "Love Drunk" by Boys Like Girls. i love the bus ride home because it's one of the only times i can really think and just zone out the world and watch the trees and houses pass by.
The bus ride home is like a 15 minute relaxation time before coming home to do homework and/or help James with his, doing chores, and writing crappy songs that i doubt would get me anywhere.
The bus came to my stop and i got off and started walking home. My itouch started playing " This is War" by Thirty Seconds to Mars.
On my walk home, my mind just went crazy and my imagination grew as i imagined myself fighing dragons and monsters. That's what happens when i'm alone and i hear epic music.
As i got closer to my house, more monsters came at me, but they're still no match for me.
As i walked through the doors of my house, my imagination died down and i saw James eating out of my fridge. "Pigging out much??" i asid laughing and making pig sounds.
"very funny" he said laughing. " and may i say, you make a very realistic pig sound! is there something i should know about?" he said winking at me, his brown eyes sparkling with calmness.
" haha of course not!" i said grabbing an apple out of the side zipper of my turqiose Jansport bag and tossing it in the air. "Hey, i got some good news today!" i said taking a bite out of the apple.
"What is it?" he said still rummaging through my fridge like he lived here. "well, there were these guys, from Base school for boys, who came in my first period today and they were announcing something about this ball that they're hosting. This year, Anderson is the lucky school they've chosen to share their ball with." i said waving my green apple around in my hand.
"and that's not the best part!" i said taking another bite out of my delicious apple. "What is it?" he asked as if he was being supportive of all of this. " This Friday, There are going to be buses FULL of those hot eighth graders from Base coming to Anderson to go looking for girls to ask to the ball. ISN'T THAT GREAT?!" i said tossing my apple in my hands, smiling.
"YEA! That's amazing! it must be exciting for you girls to have a little 'OMG' moment" he said taking out an apple from the fridge and tossing it at me. turns out, i finished my apple and i was just biting on the apple core. i threw that old apple away and took tiny bites of the cold apple he tossed to me.
"haha and you won't believe the scene i pulled that period..." i said taking another bite of the other apple. " Oh God, this sounds bad." he said standing up straight with his arms folded as if he was going to be entertained.
"Haha, weeeellll..." i started off, " I was going to be late for first period, so i ran. I ran until i went through the classroom door and Ms. Cluts made a big 'boomboom'." i said very embarrassed and just laughing to myself.
James just stood there with a big smile growing and growing on his face to the point where he looked like the Grinch. and then finally, he started laughing. "God, Alea!! You sure know how to make an entrance!" I couldn't help but throw the cold apple at him. "Shut up!!" i kept laughing until it hurt and when i finally had the ability to breathe again, i said, " Haha, well i did catch the eye of one of the boys," even though i wasn't sure about if that boy was looking at me or someone else.
"oh really?? what's his name?" he asked tossing the apple i threw at him in his hands. "well, i dont really know that piece of information, but i'll get it as soon as I see him on friday." i told him. i wasn't really thinking about doing that until those words just came out of my mouth.
"haha until then, you MUST find something to wear to the grand ball!" he said with a very convincing British accent. "I must! musn't i?" i tried to say with an accent as well, but completely failed.
"well, let's go then! It's finals week for both of us, so none of us has homework. Just call your mom and tell her that we're gonna be shopping for your little ball and that we'll be back before seven." he said putting all his food mess away and going into the living room to grab his black and white varsity jacket with an A on the right side of the chest.
"Wait, how are we going to pay for this?!?" i said grabbing out my phone and putting it back to my sudden realization.
"Just think of this as an early birthday present." he said winking at me. "so what are we waiting for? LETS GO CINDERELLA!! YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR FAIRY GODBROTHER WAITING!" he said running out the door.
I walked outside with a smile on my face. "This is going to be good."
