Chapter Seventeen
Believe it or not but that night I had a two hour conversation with Mr.Jacobs.So far my plans are working.I will have to see how everything plays out on Wedensday.
Today was Monday and I had to go to school. Dreading the fact that I still got weird stares and occasional apologetic looks,I had to get out of my bed. My alarm clock had rung for its fifth time and I just unplugged it.Yep,you guessed it I am NOT a morning person at all,but my shower usually calms me down.
As I got out of the shower I wrapped a towel around my body.I walked out of my bathroom into something hard. Funny how I don't remember anything hard being in front of my bathroom door.I looked up to see that it wasn't something but someone,Joey. We shared the same shocked look.
"I was ...uh looking for my English book...in your..room"He said uncomfortably. He pulled me up from the floor. I was careful not to move my towel too much.
When I was on my feet our faces were inches apart. My brain decided it was a nice time to stop functioning also! I was standing outside my bathroom door and in ONLY a towel ,dripping wet in front of my not only best friend but the biggest crush of my life! NICE AMANDA! After a few seconds of being lost in each others eyes, my towel moved,which seemed to snap us back to life. I noticed that he was still holding my hand and so did he but he still stood there. Our gazes locked again. Then I shivered due to the coldness.
He took a step back and looked over my shoulder.
"Hey found it!" He grabbed the book and left.
I took a second to gather myself.When I calmed down I grabbed my phone to see what time it was.It read 6:45. WHOA! 6:45!? Either I took a long shower or I we were staring at each other for fifteen minutes!
Since I changed my look Mara had told me what to do every morning ,which took two or three hours every morning.I ONLY HAD ONE HOUR LEFT!
I quickly went to my closet to search through the clothes I had.I found a simple outfit; skinny jeans and a floral top with sandals.I skipped make -up and started straightening my hair.When I was finsihed I seen the clock it read 7:29. Great! Enough time to eat.
I gather my stuff and headed to the kitchen. Joey was sitting in the TV room eating and I ignored him and grabbed my poptarts.
"Ready?" I asked as I gathered my stuff.
His eyes widened as he looked up at me.
"What?" I asked moving quickly around the room.
"You look really stunning with out make-up"He said trying to play off his weird look he gave me.
"Oh are you saying I can't do make -up well?" I said putting my hand on my hip.
"No It just...It's your natural beauty not some weird chemicals and stupid glasses "He said simply.
I was so confused as to if that was a compliment or a insult!B efore I could reply he had already went upstairs for his bag.
"I'm driving today" he said more like a statement.
"Okay" I repied
Every since Saturday when he asked me that question about loving someone he's been acting all weird. And this morning didn't help at all! I was so helpless. And just imagine if he said something like the make -up thing ,I would've passed out! I still can't shake the fact that he was in my room and seen me straight out of the shower!
I was cut off from my thoughts with my 'I'm-feeling-sad-but-I-want-to-be-happy-song'.It And to my surprise Joey was tapping along to the music. Joey never like this kind of music,he was more of a guitar-acustic type person. We sang the whole song to the top of our lungs likie nobody was listening, until the bridge of the song. Then we started singing the last part like normal people. It was in harmony and we kinda sounded good. Once the song ended we remained quiet but inside I felt good. I was so happy I could scream. All my previous thoughts were out the window!
"Joey Joey Joey! Let the sunroof back I wanna be in the sunroof!" I suddenly said.
He sighed but did it anyway.
When I got up there I un-did my bun.And in the wind I could hear the song again.I noticed that it wasn't Fun singing it (the original artist) it was Joey. I got back in the car and I heard the song clearer.
"I was going to give it to you-"He began to say something but I attacked him with a million kisses on the cheek.
"Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh! Joey Joey Joey! I love you SOOOO much! How do you know me so well?"i said all at once.
"Okay,Okay! I know you like my face but seriously? It only 7:45 in the morning! You need to chill with all that!" He yelled over all the wind.
"SOOO WHATTT!?" I yelled back.
I started dancing to the music,letting all my care and thoughts go.I was so happy.What a difference a song can make! I was already sure that today was going to be a VERY GOOD day!
I got a little disappionted when I seen that the school was near.This meant that I would have to stop acting like a chicken,but I didn't want to.
"Mandie we are almost at the school!"Joey called.
I reluctantly got back in the car .I looked in the mirror and seen my hair and it was so wild ,people would probably look at me and want to go die!I started my search for my brush and ran aross my phone and it read I had a new message.It was from Mr.Jacobs.I quickly opened it
*Okay*
YEAH! That one word did mean alot to me.This only little word meant that my plan was working. People usaully say 'This day couldn'tget any better' in sarcasticness but I'm am totally serious! This day has barely even started and I am already happy.
"What the heck is your problem?" Joey asked looking at me like a have a third eye.
"Oh nothing" I said.
"Well just calm down okay?"He said kind of irritated voice.
I put my hair back up and I put all my stuff back in my bag.
"THANKS FOR THE CD JOEY!"I said before kissing him a thousand times like before. Getting on his nerve all over again.
" You're welcome. I was going to give it to you for prom but I have something else in mind" He glanced at me.
"Oooo what it is?"
"That's for me to know and for you to find out"I just chuckled.
"Yeah and that CD has all of your favorite songs on it.That includes all of Justin Bieber's new songs...excefsaptsafvfofvarone" He said the last part really fast so I couldn't understand what he was saying. It all sounded like jibberish.
"Now you didn't!" I screamed,pretending I didn't get the last part
"Yeah I did learn those songs for you and sang them just for you"
"Oh my gosh Joey!Thanks so much!" I really didnt want this day to end!
