The New Kid

Chapter 19

I get out of the shower and dry myself and my hair. I go downstairs to get tips from Mom to make the night special. "Hey Mom!" I greet. She turns away from the television asks, "What's up?" I answer, "I need some advice for Friday." Mom gasps and exclaims, "Sit down, girl! I have things that will make him go crazy!" I sit down and listen to her. "Take some notes," she commands. I reply, "I will mentally." Mom nods and starts. "Instead of holding his hands while dancing, wrap your arms around his neck, and make sure he puts his arms around your waist." I nod as she continues.

"Stand really close. If you don't it'll be awkward and it'll be ruined...for you at least. Next, when you guys talk, make sure you talk only loud enough where only he can hear you. It'll make it a lot more romantic. Finally, when you two are dancing really close to a song that just makes you, rest your head on his shoulder. It'll make him go crazy. He will love you forever." I smile and say, "Thanks, Mom." She smiles back and says, "No problem."

I go upstairs and put Sierra and Elizabeth into a group conversation.

Me: Girls, guess what?

Sierra: What up

Elizabeth: Ooh what happened

Me: My mom gave me all of these tips for Sebastian to make him go crazy at the dance

Elizabeth: Like?

Me: Instead of holding his hands while we're dancing, I wrap my arms around his neck, and I gotta make sure he puts his hands around my waist.

Sierra: Next! This is good stuff!

Me: Stand really close. It'll be awkward if we're far apart and things will be ruined. And finally, when we're dancing really close, and it's a song that just makes us, I'll rest my head on his shoulder

Elizabeth: Knowing Sebastian, he'll go crazy (but like in his head)

Sierra: I'm gonna go and see how it goes

Elizabeth: Yes Sierra and I are going to see how it goes

Me: Awesome thanks guys :)

Elizabeth: Always there!

Sierra: Never will leave ya!

I put down my phone and Mom yells from downstairs, "Pizza's here!" I go downstairs and grab a couple slices of pizza. I sit and eat, then I go back upstairs. I check the time, and it was nine at night. I was pretty tired, even though it was a little early. I was about to climb into bed, but Sebastian texts me.

Sebastian: Hey

Me: Hey sorry I forgot to text you :\

Sebastian: It's fine. I've been busy anyway

Me: Ok good. I've been really busy

Sebastian: It's fine. I can only see you at school this week (except Friday) I'm gonna be a little busy. We can't hang after school this week

Me: Okay it's fine

Sebastian: It's not you, trust me

Me: It's no big deal

Sebastian: Ok good. Well I'm gonna go. I just wanted to tell u so you're not freaking out or burning down the house or anything

Me: Lol okay. Night

Sebastian: Night

I plug in my phone and sit it on my nightstand. I lay in my covers in the dark thinking about Sebastian. I just hope he's okay.
