Chapter 3 [Plus Picture of Tyler]

Chapter 3

As soon as the bell rang, I immediately dropped all the bundles of homework paper that I had in my hands. I rushed to the door, looking in the mirror in the hall, fixing my hair. I then opened it with slight force.

"Hey," Yale said, smiling.

I nearly fainted. He was wearing black skinny jeans, white band t-shirt and black converse. His hair was slightly spiked up, and he looked even more amazing than he did hours before.

"Uh, hey," I replied, shaking out of my daydream. "Come right in."

Yale nodded and flashed me a smile. I led him to the living room and he sat down.

"So, tell me .. what is that you .. um .. don't get about the history," I started, fumbling with all the sheets of paper that I had.

".. 'Cause it's really quite simple .. you just have to use the internet and this book .." I showed him the book that we had been given.

" .. and just find out about how China became independent." I just kept on talking and talking. Suddenly I felt myself blushing as I caught Yale staring at me.

"Wow," he breathed, smiling."You seem to know what to do!"

I nodded, and handed him the book. He got out his laptop from its case that he was holding.

"I'll go get mine," I suggested, and headed up the stairs.

Never in my life have I felt so nervous and excited. The presence of Yale was overwhelming. I mean, I've only gotten to know him just today, but he was the kind of person that gave you the feeling as though you've known them for a really long time.

I grabbed my laptop and charger, and my pencil case as well. Soon, I was heading down the stairs.

"Hey, check this out!" Yale called to me, as I entered the living room. I walked over to where he was sitting and plopped myself onto a big cushion on the floor.

"It's a site that gives everything about how China became independent." I nodded in satisfaction, and copied the URL into my computers web browser.

"See, it's not that hard huh?" I replied, reading through information. The site was actually really good. I didn't even have to open my book, and after about an hour, we were done.

"Thanks for your help," Yale said, putting his report into his laptop case that we had just printed. "I'm so gonna ace this!"

I laughed and nodded in agreement. "If you don't, I'm not gonna be very pleased," I laughed, shutting down my laptop.

"We spent a lot of time on it!"

He smiled and put his laptop in his case and put it onto the coffee table next to his seat.

"Hey .. since it's only like 4 .. you wanna get an ice-cream?" Yale asked, putting on his jacket. I smiled.

"Sure, considering it's really warm." I replied, taking both our computers to my room. I soon came back down with my own jacket, my phone, and a bit of cash.

"Don't be too long you two!" my mum called from the top of the stairs. I gave her the thumbs up before leaving the house.

"So, which place you wanna go to?" Yale asked me, checking his phone for the time. I shrugged.

"There's an ice-cream parlor right down the street from here. We could go to that one .. they have really good ice-creams" Yale chuckled and we slowly made out way to the parlor.

"What flavour are you gonna get?" I asked Yale, as we took our seats in the corner of the parlor. He shrugged.
