The Young Mate

Chapter 3 (Edited)

Lila

It has been a little under two months since I meet Jane. We are such good friends. It feel nice to have a really good friend around. Since Beth has to work til eight o'clock every night I just go home with Jane. Landon comes and gets us every day. I might even have a small crush on him.

But I haven't told Jane that. It's practically breaking best friend code. I will tell her tonight, however, since she said that she had something big to tell me. Since it's a Friday night I'm just going to spend the weekend. Beth is fine with it. I think she likes me being out of the house. She was too young when she got me. She wasn't even 18 yet.

"Hey! Are you listening!" She smacked my head with a magazine.

"What?" I almost screamed.

"I was talking! Now listen!" She demanded.

"Okay okay jeez." I put my hands up in surrender.

"I was saying that we should do a spa day. But tonight is movie night. So what is the genre?"

"Landon or no Landon?" I asked as we went to her locker.

"My mom's going be gone sooo Landon."

"Okay then we need to do chick flicks." Those will keep him away.

"I've got 13 going on 30, The Twilight Series, The Notebook, and 50 first dates." She listed them as she got her stuff and closed her locker.

"Perfect. Let's go." Went walked out and there he was waiting. He opened the door for us and asked how our days were.

"Okay I guess? It was a normal day I guess. I'm just happy for tonight." He got in and turned around to look at us.

"What's tonight?" He asked.

"You know, the sleep over." I said a matter-of-factually.

"Oh yeah. I'm a little busy so you wont be seeing much of me until late tonight. You think you all can survive?"

"Yes, we can you Neanderthal." Jane answered for us. We got there in no time thanks to Landon's terrible driving. He drives like a drunk baboon. We went up to Jane's room and got into Pjs. Since Landon's gonna be gone we got the whole living room to ourselves.

Jane choose the first movie we are watching 50 First Dates first. I love that movie but it isn't that sad. I heard the front door open and close so now were alone. I was done changin first so I went down to make some popcorn. I popped two bags and put them in a bowl. Then I went to the living room and Jane was there putting in a movie.

"Fifty First Dates right?" I asked sitting on the couch.

"Yep. We can watch movies other than that too. You know since Landon's gone."

"Wait can we watch Twilight first? I didn't hear you when you said that it." She was already putting the disk away.

"I knew you were going to say that." She put the movie in and sat next to me. She had a knowing look on her face.

"Team Edward or Jacob?" I asked when the opening credits rolled.

"Jacob. Always. How about you?" 

"Same. Wolves are awesome." She held back a laugh. "What's so funny?"

"Oh nothing. But that reminds me. I need to tell you something." She turned to me and I put all my attention on her.

"What are you finally coming out of the closet?" I joked.

"Yes." She said seriously. My mouth dropped open. Then she busted up laughing. "I'm just kidding." I pushed her shoulder. 

"Get on with it then." I said casually. But the air got serious.
