-That One Summer-Ch.3-
I woke up late the next morining to somone knocking on my door. I groaned.
"Come on Mallory! I know you're awake! Just get out of bed already." I heard Thomas from the other side of the door.
"Ugh. Go away Thomas and let me sleep in peace." I said while hiding under my covers.
"Mallory it's like three o'clock in the afternoon and we have to shoppping." That got me up.
"Shopping? Hold on. Let me take a shower." I jumped out of bed and ran into my bathroom taking off my clothes as I ran. After I was done with my shower I got dressed. I put on a white dress that went to about my knees and a pair of black flip flops. I quickly brushed my hair and grabed a few bobby pins so I could pin some of my bangs back.
I ran down the stairs, trying not to fall flat on my face in the process. When I got to the bottom, Thomas was standing by the door swinging car keys around his finger.
"Okay I'm ready." I said fluffing my hair and looking at what Thomas was wearing. He was wearing a white t-shirt and khaki pants, with black flip flops. Great, we kinda matched. Thomas looked at then at what he was wearing. He sighed.
"You planned to match me, didn't you?"
"Hah, yeah right. I put on the closest clothes to me, and this happend to be it. Did you not notice it only took me like fifteen minutes to get ready?" I said crossing my arms.
"Yeah yeah whatever. Let's just go. We need to shop for dinner tonight."
"Okay. What's for dinner?"
"Uh..I was kinda hoping that you knew how to cook so you can make us someting..." Thomas said while opening the door. I walked out of the house and down the walk way to the car.
"I do know how to cook. Don't you Thomas?" He shook his head no and went around to the driver's side of the car. I opened the passenger's side door and slid into the seat.
"Okay, I'll just make spaghetti or something." I said while messing around with the radio.
"Okay fine. Hey stop playing with the radio. I usually have it on the rock staition." Thomas said while trying to smack my hand away. I shook my head.
"No! I love this song!!" I started to sing along with Taylor Swift.
"Really? She annoys me."
"She is my hero!" I said glaring at him.
"Hahah...wait really?"
"No. She's not. I just really like her music. So are we almost there yet?"
"We just got in the car..."
"Yeah..so are we almost there?"
"Malloy, you are the weirdest chick ever."
"Thank you."
"That wasn't a complement."
'Thank you."
"Alrighty then." And then after that it was quite. I sat there looking out the window listening to the radio, humming along with the songs I knew. When we finally got there it was pretty crowded.
"Wowie there's a lot of people here." I said looking around.
"Thank you captin obvious."
"Any time sir sarcasum!" I said grinning.
"This is why you should've gotten up earlier!"
"I would've if I knew we were going shopping." I said kinda pissed off at him. He just expects me to know everything. I grabbed a cart and started to shop without talking or looking at Thomas. He just followed me around and sometimes got stuff on lower shelfs for me so I wouldn't have to bend down in my dress. When we were done, I went in line to pay even though I had no money. I looked at Thomas.
"Thomas?"
"What?"
"I uh..I didn't bring any money.." I said looking at the price of food. I got all the things that Kacey wouldn't let me eat. All of it had some sort of chocolate in it. Thomas sighed and got his wallet out and payed the fourty-seven dollars and sixty-three cents. Then we went home. I went to the kitchen to put things away and Thomas disapreared somewhere. When I was done I went on the deck and sat down in a lawn chair. I watched kids play and guys surf. I saw one guy that looked really fimilure. Then it hit me, it was Will. He was really good at surfing. I watched him as he surfed and then he finally saw me. He smiled and waved. I waved back and then he came running over to me. I ran my fingers through my hair hoping that I didn't look like a complete mess.
"Hey there Mal. What's up"
"Hey Will. Just sitting here."
"Oh that's...cool."
"Yep...soo.." It was really awkward for some reason.
"Hey are you free friday night?" Will asked. I looked up at him with my heart pounding. I never been on a date before. It's not like anyone asked me.
"Er..sure. That'd be great." I said smiling a bit. Will grinned really big.
"Great! I'll pick you up at seven...kay?" He said with the grin still on his face. I nodded my head. I couldn't speak. Then Will ran back so he could surf. I sighed and leaned back in the chair, happy. Then I heard someone behind me. I turned aroud to see Thomas standing in the door way with his arms crossed.
"Oh hey Thomas."
"You're going on a date with Will?" Thomas asked sounding mad. I nodded my head.
"Ugh I thought I told you to stay away from him Mal!"
"Oh whatever. It's just one night. What could happnen?" I said waving my hand at him trying to make him go back inside.
"So much could happen in one night Mal." Then with that, he went back in the house slamming the glass door. Good thing it didn't break. But...now I think that Thomas is really mad at me, for no real reason....
there..it's not that good. I did it at the top of my head. sorry for any errors, i have a projecet due tomorrow and i haven't even started. tell me what you think!!
