Chapter Ten (Progress)

I feel weird. I haven't seen Andrew in five months and now I'm no I'm supposed to meet him for dinner. I love my brother and wish I had a better relationship with him, but I'm also unsure how this will go. Would if it's awkward or somthing? Well duh it's going to be awkward I haven't seen him in FIVE MONTHS. 

Andrews old mastaing pulls up in front of my house. He smiles form the drivers seat. I nod and walk over and get into the car. 

"Hey?" I say nervously. 

"Hey yourself." He winks, "So what do you want to do?" He asks me.

I just shrug not knowing what to say.

"Okay then," Andrew says, "why don't we go to Lizzy's pizza? Is it still your favorite?" 

I grin. Andrew remembers that Lizzy's Pizza is my favorite place for pizza which is one of my favorites foods. I had my birthday party there until I was thirteen. Lizzy's pizza is a lot like chuck e cheese. it has games and tokens and mediocre pizza. The reason I loved the place as a kid was because of the games and tickets you could win there, but as I got older that all changed. The reason I went was because I felt like I could hold on to my childhood and I loved the feeling--the children laughing. 

 "I knew you still like that  place." He starts the car and begins to drive I smile.

It doesn't take long to get there we park in the nearly empty parking lot and enter the building. It hasn't changed one bit. the red booths with the lime green tables, the benches next to tables. In the back corner the arcade games play annoying songs and shine way to bright. Most people would think this place anoying, but I know better. This place is a child under ten years old dream land.

Andrew and I get seated in one of the booths. The place is empty except for andrew, me, and another family. The family consist of a mother a father and two twins. The twins are fraternal a boy with green eyes and a girl with blue eyes they're blowing out candles-five, they're five years old.

Andrew notices me staring and he smiles at me, ''This place brings back a lot of memories huh?"

I divert my attention from the family and nod at Andrew, "Yeah it does,"

"Welcome to lizzy's pizza what pizza can I get you?" A female voice booms with fake enthusiasm.

I jump. I didn't even notice the waitress come up. I look at her and to my utter surprise I recognize her. She has black hair pale skin that sometimes resembles a vampire. I recognize her as Carol Johnson just barely though. 

Carol isn't wearing any freaky makeup and now I can see her without it I'm struck by her beauty. she has raven black hair and sea blue eyes naturally dark, pink lips that are full, high cheek bones. ThIs girl could be a  super moddle for goodness sake! 

"Do need more time to figure out what you guys want?" She asks politely. 

"Carol?" I say in disbelief. 

"Thats me—," She gestures to her name tag "—your server tonight," 

"No. I mean we go to school together," 

She squints at me, "I think I recognize you from detention?" 

I nod at her enthusiastically, "Yeah you do I remember seeing you there!" 

She smiles awkwardly at me. 

"Uh ma'am can we get some napkins over here? There's been a spill." The mother of the twins calls loudly. Carol turns her head in they're direction. 

"I have to go, so do you need more time to order?"   

"No," Andrew says, "Will have one medium pepperriony."
