Quarterback

chapter 8

After school I waited by my locker for Sophie. After about ten minutes of waiting I finally saw her. 

" Hey Sophie!" I said as I waved towards her. She saw me and smiled and started to walk towards me. 

" Hey Ryley." She said as she leaned against the locker right next to me. 

" So where do you want to go? We can go to the mall, the cafe, the park, or my favorite the ice cream parlor." I said. 

" I mean it is Friday, why don't we go to them all?" She said as she smiled. 

" Alright! Let's do it." I started to walk to the front doors. " Hey uh Sophie who's car are we taking?" I asked.

She looked at me thoughtfully, " Why don't I follow you to your house or you can follow me to mine." 

I thought about it for a minute. " Uh why don't I follow you to your house. Could I possibly spend the weekend there?" 

Sophie smiled and asked, "Really?" She said excitedly. I smiled and nodded. 

" Perfect! I have to stop at my house real quick to get my clothes. She nodded.

We started to walk towards our cars. " Hey so i will follow you to your house." She said as she got in her car. I nodded and got into my car and started to drive home. 

When I got home I quickly went upstairs to get my clothes. 

" Ry? Are you home?" I heard my mom say. I sighed and put my bag down and started to go downstairs. 

" Yeah mom, I am home." I said as i leaned against the wall with my arms crossed.

She wiped her hands on her apron and smiled. " Ok good, We're having company for dinner-." I cut her off.

" I made a new friend today. Her name is Sophie and she's new so I am going to show her around. So I'm staying at her house all weekend." I said. 

" The Mitchells are coming over for dinner and I want you home." She finished what she was saying before I cut her off. 

I looked at her and said, " I. Am. Not. Eating. With. Brandon. Mitchell."

She looked at me and started to glare at me. " I'm not taking no for an answer. You can hang out with Sylvia next weekend." 

" It's Sophie and I already made plans. I will be home sometime Sunday." I said as I walked back upstairs to get my bag. I grabbed my bag and started to head to the door.

Just when i was about to open the door I heard a knock. 

'can this day get any worse.' I thought to myself, I opened the door as saw the Mitchells. 

" Hi!" His dad said too happily. 

" Excuse me please. I am trying to leave." I said as I squeezed past his parents and him.

I finally got outside and walked to Sophie's car. " Hey do you mind if we take your car?" I asked. 

She nodded, " Yup! No problem." She popped the trunk for me. 

I put my bag in the trunk and got inside  her car. 

" Are you ready?" I asked. She nodded.

" Where are we going first?" She asked. 

I leaned in my seat and smiled." My favorite place ever. Betty May's Ice Cream Parlor." 

" Ooh yum" She said as she headed toward the ice cream parlor. 

I looked around and smiled. My life might just be getting better.
