Chapter 11: Movie Date

It was 6:50 now; just ten minutes before Jason said he was gonna come get me for the movie. I actually lost track of time up until now, so luckily I had time to get ready. I mean, I know Jason isn't going to be here in exactly ten minutes, but still, better safe than sorry. I found a random outfit, which consisted of light wash skinny jeans and a dark blue shirt with a cute kitty on it. I put my hair into a ponytail with a little bump at the front, and there were little pieces of hair sticking out, but I was way too lazy to fix it to make it neat. I still had my camera earrings and necklace on, so I just left that on, and put on my low top converses. I was done in just ten minutes, so at least I wasn't running late. I decided to wait in my room until I saw Jason's car stop at the front of the house, because I didn't want to have to wait downstairs with Kendrick.

It was five minutes after seven now, and while I waited for Jason's car to show up, I read over a bunch of kiddy books that I still had. I don't know why I kept them, but reading them over was kind of fun. I was reading Red Riding Hood when my phone started ringing, kind of scaring me. It was like an inch away from me, and I was super focused on the book, and then my ringtone just started blasting out of nowhere. I put the book down and saw that it was Jason, "Hey," I pressing the phone to my ear and laying back on my bed.

"I'm here," He informed me, and I got up from my bed to see that he was here. His car was parked right in front of the house and I could see him in it on the phone.

"Couldn't you have just texted me that?" I wondered, grabbing my keys from my desk and sticking them in the back pocket of my jeans.

"That is true, but maybe I wanted to hear your voice." He explained, making me let out one of my annoying giggles.

"I'm sure that's it," I chuckled, looking myself over in the mirror before deciding to leave my room. I was a little jittery about this whole thing, but I didn't want it to show, so I took a deep breath and headed for my bedroom door.

"Well you have a very nice voice," He complimented. "But hurry up and get down here,"

"Okay, I'll be down there in a bit." I laughed, hanging up the phone without any warning. I stuffed my phone into my other pocket that didn't have my keys, and jogged down the stairs. As I was going down the stairs I remembered that Kendrick was still in the living room, and I'd have to pass him in order to get to the front door. I hadn't really prepared myself for what to say to him, because I knew there'd be questioning on why I was leaving no matter if he was mad at me or not. And his friends were also still there, so I didn't even want to stick around down here at all.

I was hoping to just walk past him without him noticing me, but he of course did because it's not that hard to notice someone going to the door from where he's sitting. "Where are you going?" He stopped me, turning his attention to me. Not to mention all of his friends turned their attention to me as well, gosh, annoyance.

"I'm just going out, I'll be back at nine or ten," I shrugged, putting my hand on the door knob, getting ready to open it and just leave right away.

"Okay, but where are you going? And who with?" He questioned, acting like if he was my parent or something. I mean, he is my legal guardian, but he doesn't have to treat me like his daughter, I'd rather be treated as his sister. And I'm 17, I don't have to be questioned so much when I'm going out; I don't question him whenever he does.

I sighed in irritation, "I'm just going to the movies with Jason, geez,"

"We need to talk when you get back," He decided, sounding like he doesn't trust me, which annoyed me a whole lot. It's not like I bother him about anything when he goes out with his friends, I don't get why he has to bother me when I do for like, the first time ever. And plus, he's going to have a party some time or another, and he didn't listen to me at all when I said no for it, I don't have to listen to him. He's not even that much older than me, and I'm going be 18 in October anyway, so it's not like he can control me then.
