Chapter 3

"Makenna was right, we were getting a new student." I say quietly to myself as I unlock the door to my house.

I look around to see if anyone was home, I guess not. Mom is probably still at the hospital nursing ill people while Dad has left for his business trip. Then that leaves me all to myself. I really wish I had a younger or older sibling so I wouldn't have to be so bored. Poor Dad, I made him play tea party with him and he obliged to do so. The image is still clear in my head.

~Flashback~

I finally see Daddy pull into the driveway as he gets out of his Lexus from a long day of work. I run over to him and jump onto his back demanding a piggy back ride.

"Wow, you sure are getting big pumpkin, what have you been eating today?" he chuckles.

"Today when Momma wasn't looking, I got the Oreos out of the pantry and hid in my fort to eat them!"

"Oh okay, just make sure to tell me when you do, so ya know, I can eat some as well."

"Oh and Daddy,"

"Yes pumpkin?"

"Will you play tea party with me?" I saw him bite his lip and then take a deep breath.

"Fine, just this once!" he smiles.

"Ok, let's get your princess dress on first!" I say as I pull him into my room.

~Flashback ends~

I smile to myself at the memory and see my phone screen light up.

From: Kayla

'Hey, wanna hit the movies tonight?'

Kayla Morgan, the next door neighbor. She's very friendly and is homeschooled so she doesn't have many friends. We instantly clicked at the last year's summer neighborhood barbecue.

To: Kayla

'Sure, what movies r out'

From: Kayla

'How bout da giver, I read the book it's good'

To: Kayla

'I know it's a good book, I was the one who introduced you to it lol'

From: Kayla

'Oh yeah... I'll drive us to the theater at 7 ish'

To: Kayla

'Ok'

Four o'clock; the current time right now. That gives me at least 3 hours to get ready, heck more like 1 hour, I'm going to take a nap before anything happens. Sleep and food are the best things to a 17 year old soul.

I make my way up to my bedroom and turn out the lamp and fall asleep on my bed.

*Ring Ring*

What. Is. That?

Music

That. Noise. Just. Woke. Me. Up. From. One. Of. The. Most. Important. Things. In. The. World.

I finally get the strength to check my phone. Hmm, 5 texts from Kayla what could she-

Uh oh, I totally forgot about our mini movie date! Stupid sleepy emotions! I mentally curse myself as I check the time and it's already 6:45.

I quickly run over to my closet and grab the nearest things, an Aeropostale tee with skinny jeans. I look over at my shoes and just decide to go with my Keds.

Looking into the mirror, I add a small amount of concealer to any pimples, some EOS lip balm, and a few strokes of mascara. Untangling my thin light brown hair, I decide it would look good down with a few bobby pins pulling the hair away from my face. I don't have the prettiest face or body, but I still gotta live with this skin for the rest of my life so, might as well get used to it!

I walk down the stairs and see Kayla's Mini Cooper waiting outside my house.

"What took so long girl?" she says with a fake annoyed tone.

"Sorry, I was taking a nap and overslept a bit." I giggle.

We hop into her car and her music starts blasting. We start to sing along with Meghan Trainor on our way to the theater.

'Yah it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two, but I can shake it shake it like I'm supposed to do. Cause I got dat boom boom that all the boys chase, and all the right junk in all the right place.'

Taking in the aroma of popcorn, we step inside the theater and make our way over to purchase the tickets.

"Two tickets for The Giver please." I say as I hand the young woman the money.

"Here ya go, enjoy the show." she smiles.

"Whatcha wanna get to eat, I feel like some candy, soda and a large kettle corn!" I exclaim.

"Someone seems a bit hungry, I'll get some nachos too since you didn't eat dinner yet."

We finally get our food (which turned out to be almost the whole concession stand) and then we go over to the other desks, the ones that let you in theater.

"Your movie is Theater 4, enjoy." the man says.

We nod and go enjoy our night out.
