Immortal Love

Chapter Two

"Mom? Are you home? " I called out when I entered the house. "Yeah, sweetie. I am in the kitchen. Do you want something to eat ?" I went into the kitchen and told her, yes. While she made me a sandwich, she asked, "How was school? " "Boring as usual. A friend of Mr. Johnson is helping us in Art for the next two weeks. His name is Mr. VanAlen." "That's nice. Is he good-looking ? If he is, I want you to set me up with him," she said with a smile. Shaking my head, I said, "He is hot, but he is too young for you anyways." "Are you calling me old? " I looked at her and shook my head, "No, I'm not. I am just saying you are ancient. " After I told her that, she threw some plastic cups at me. I ducked down and fell in the floor because I was laughing so hard. "Whatch what you say Miss Priss," she said after I was no longer laughing. "Just wait until I tell dad about you wanting to date Mr. VanAlen," I told her with my sandwich in my hand running to my room.

Once I was finished eating, I called Ann. After the fifth ring she answered, "Hey, girl what's up? " "Uh, the celling," I told her. "I am going to hurt you at school tomorrow. You know that is NOT WHAT I MEAN! " she yelled the last of it at me. I laughed and said, "You love me; you know you do." "I do love you, but that does not mean I am not going to hurt you tho. So tell me, what happened in Art with Mr. VanAlen? " I walked over to my full size bed and laid down and said,"Well, you know how most of the other girls are. They were practically begging for attention. " "I would be, too, if I had that class," she replied. I laughed and said, "So you are telling me you would pull your shirt down as far as you can, bat your eyelashes, and act like a slut, if you were in the class? " There was a long pause while she thought about her answer. "When I see him I will give you the answer, because if he is as hot as I have heard I probably will." "Alright then, do you need help with calulas ? We have homework tonight, do you know how to do it? " I asked her. She can barely do Algebra. I don't know how she passed. "Yeah, I think I am going to need some help. Do you mind if I spend the night? " she answered. "I might let you stay over. Ask your mom," I said. In the background I heard her talking to her mother. "She said if you come and pick me up I can," she said. I could hear the happiness in her voice. "Alright, I will be there in a few. And get your mom to help you pack, you know nothing about packing, Blondie, "I said and hung up. She is a really sweet girl but at times she can do some of the dumbest things. She is a little bit shorter than me with shoulder length blond hair, green eyes, and she loves wearing skinny jeans.

On my way to the door, the door opened to show my father in his business suit. "Hey sweetie, were are you headed? " he asked when he saw me. "I am going to pick up Ann. She is spending the night," I answered and gave him a hug. "Drive safely," he said as I walked out the door to my car. I drive a silver Jeep that was my mom's. It's not my choice of a vehicle, but I am going to get a new car for graduation. Once I got to Ann's home, I blow the horn. She came out soon after with her suitcase, after she put her bag in the back she climbed in. "Hey, what are we going to be doing tonight," she asked while messing with my radio. "We are going to do our homework for starters. Will you quit, pick a song already," I said while slapping her hand. "I meant other than that." "We will see," I told her as we pulled in the driveway.

As we entered the house Ann shouted, "Mom, Dad! I'm home." My mom walked into the room and said, "Hello, Ann, we missed you." While they were hugging and talking, I went to find Dad. I walked into his office and sat down on one of the chairs. "Dad, I was talking with mom after I got in from school and told her about Art. There is a man helping Mr. Johnson, named Mr. VanAlen. Mom asked if he was hot, because if he was she wanted me to set her up with him." "Is that so? Well, it seems I have a matter to discuss with my wife," he said rising out of his chair. We walked into the den where Ann and mom were sitting on the couch. I leaned against the wall to see what happens. Dad stands in front of Mom and towers over her. "Eve, I heard you want to date the man helping at school with the Art class, Mr. VanAlen," he said in an authoritative voice. My dad is one of the nicest men I know, but when he is mad, he can be very scary. "I merely meant that I would like to meet him," mom said sinking down into the seat. Ann moved off the couch fearing that she would get hurt. My dad straightened up saying, "Oh is that so? That's not what I was told." "It's nothing dear," she said getting off the couch heading towards the kitchen. "WE ARE NOT THROUGH! " he shouted and picked up Mom and threw her on the couch. She tried to get up again but Dad got on top of her. He started tickling her and said,"Who do you want to go out with now? " "You," she said between laughs. Grinning I turned to Ann to leave the den, "Did he scare you?" " For a moment he did," she saied walking up the stairs," Your parents act like kids sometimes," she said while laughing. My parents are still madly in love after 20 years of marriage, and are always picking with each other.

We headed to my room with Ann's bag in tow. Once we were in my room, we sat down on my bed to do our homework. Ann is very smart just not with Math. "Now do you know how to do it?" I asked after we finished it. "Yeah, I don't see how you understand it in less than a minute." "I am just good with math," I said to her. While putting our work away we hear my mom yell that dinner was ready. When we enter the dinning room, we saw that my mom had made her best homemade pizza. At the end of dinner we watched movies in the den until 12:30 and went to bed exhausted.
