Best Of Friends

Chapter 19: Anticipation

I was walking to lunch my mind flooded with this whole vacation thing as carter popped up next to me "Hey Issac what's going on.." he said calmly as I looked at him "Nothing much what's up carter" I asked as he sighed "I was wondering if you had any plans this Friday" he said as I stopped in my track's 'Did he just ask me out' I thought to myself as I sighed "Sorry carter I um have plans I'm leaving for a vacation I guess tomorrow" I said nervously as he nodded "It's um cool I'll see you around them" he said as I felt bad sighing as Joey seems to appear behind me "What did carter want.." he asked in a tense tone "He wanted to ask if I had plans this week.." I said quitely "What did you say?" He said nervously which was strange "I said that we were going on a vacation like we planned.." he nodded in Relife we walked to lunch

I was driving home with Joey as I sighed "Tell me what do you have planned for this trip.." I asked as he looked over to me "Um well it's a log cabin there's skiing and stuff near by I went with my parents awhile ago" he spoke as I remember all the post cards I got in the male "Alright it sounds fun" I agreed as we arrived home to see Grayson and Mr.Edwards watching tv in the living room I swear Joey smiled but we went upstairs

Later that night we came down for dinner as we sat at the table as usual me a Joey sat closely beside eachother "So how has everyone been" Mr.Edwards asked as Joey sighed seemingly annoyed I simply and discreetly placed a hand on his thigh as he looked and me and then back to his father "I have been well dad working my grades are good too" I'm proud" he spoke simply "And what about you issac still the shy boy" he asked I could tell it upset Joey so I stroked his thigh to calm him down as I removed my hand I spoke "I have been well I was actually in the play I think Im getting used to attention from crowds atleast to some degree" I spoke as he nodded "I'm happy to hear it" he spoke

Soon enough after dinner ended as I went upstairs to help Joey pack he wasn't great at it to say the least "I told you issac I don't need your help.." he wined "Yes you do if I didn't help you you would forget you shirts again" I spoke as he rolled his eyes "That was one time you still can't let that go" he asked "We spent hours at the mall my feet hurt" I chuckled as I picked out so,e things and places them in the suit case as I got to the underclothing "You can deal with that part I'll go pack myself" I said as I rushed to my room "That was way to close to going south" I wined to myself packing my things calmly
