When we got home, the house was dark. Then the light suddenly turned on. Everybody shouted "Welcome Home!" probably to Wayne. There was also a banner that said "Welcome Home, Wayne!" in blue letters. His mom and dad came up to hug him. I looked around. Where did all these people come from? I barely know any of them! Most of them are adults. My parents probably met these strangers at work.
There was a section of kids. Well, teenagers and tweens. There was some movement and I looked at it. I saw two hands entwined. I didn't really think so I didn't look up. But something else caught my eye. It was Sarah Belinda! Why the heck would she be HERE? To represent herself as Wayne's girlfriend? There is clearly no good reason! I really just want to lead her to the door.
Something else caught my eye. My friends? My NEW friends? They were here! All of them!!!! Ara Isabella, Sophia Morgan, Jacob Dylan, Timothy, and well, of course, Abs!!!! This was great! I looked a little to the left and I saw the hands again. I wanted to look up, so I did. It was Anderson! And... Isadora? I mean, it's not really a big deal, but.... They usually only hold pinkies!! OMG. Dyl is walking over here.
"Hey, what did Wayne say about Bruster's?" He asked.
"Um, he said it was...." I can't tell him that Wayne doesn't want to go! "He said it was okay!"
"Great! Have you asked Abs?"
"No, but I'm sure she'll say yes."
"I'm really excited."
"Yeah! It will be great hangin' out with our group."
"Yeah, they're great." He smiled. I got butterflies in my stomach. "But I like YOU."
"Really? Um. Why?"
"Because you're beautiful."
"Um thanks?"
He started to lean in. Closer. And. Closer. And.
