CHAPTER 14:
“I finally did it,” Mike said as he caught up to me in the hallway. I was on my way to meet up with Dean since it was our free period.
“What did you do?” I asked.
“I asked Jenny out.” His words stopped me.
“Are you kidding?”
“Why would I kid about that?”
“Congratulations Mike, when’s this date?” I asked as we walked on.
“It’s later, just a movie and dinner.”
“If this is your way of asking me if you can go home early without me, then my answer is yes,” I said. “I think I saw Dean bring his car today. I’ll ask him if he can give me a ride home.”
“Thanks Leb, you’re awesome,” he said practically jumping for joy.
Just as Mike ran off, Dean appeared.
“Where’s he going off to?”
“He has a date with Jenny later,” I said.
“He finally did it,” Dean said. “He’s been trying to since after Thanksgiving.”
“Yeah, he won’t shut up about it. By the way, can I get a ride later?”
“No problem, Leb, where do we go now?”
“To the library, I guess.”
“Alright then,” he said.
We arrived at the library, which was not really the first place most of the students went. We found a table and began working on our homework. We made sure to stay far from the librarian’s desk, so we could talk.
“Any plans for the holidays?” I asked as I scribbled down some notes.
“We’re going to Seattle to visit some of my relatives for Christmas. What about you?”
“Ollie won’t be coming home for Christmas, so I guess I’ll be spending the holidays with the Williams. It’ll be my first Christmas away from my parents, but I guess it’s for the best.”
“Maybe you’d like to come with us to Seattle,” Dean offered.
“Sounds really nice, but I don’t want to intrude on your holidays. I’m really okay with everything and how things are. It just needs some getting used to.”
“The offer still stands, Leb. We leave two days before Christmas, which is still a couple days away, so just think about it.”
“Fine Dean, I will and thank you.”
As soon as our last class was over, Mike and Jenny were gone. It was a Friday afternoon, which meant that Marc and Michelle both had practices. Alison had to leave two days earlier because her family booked a trip to London for the holidays. I ended up waiting for Dean, alone, in front of the school.
