Finding The Real Me

Chapter 8

David

I knocked on the door at Arenas house and signed. How do I keep getting in these situations? The door opened and Max was the one who answered. "Hey little guy how you been?"

"Good, Sis if setting the table up." "Okay, can I come in?" "Yeah" he said and he moved out of the way to let me in. I came in to find a women I didn't realize coming into the same room. "Hi, you most be David."

"Yeah that's me, and I'm guessing your Arena's Mom?" "Yes you can call me Larcy." "Nice to meet you Larcy." "well come on Arena should be done setting everything up." "Okay."

They all went into the kitchen and found the table have all the dishes and food already out. I heard the lite kid ask "What for dinner?" "Spaghetti." I heard Arena say coming into the kitchen.

We all sat down and started to eat. Man this is really good spaghetti. "So David if you don't mind me asking how do you do in school?" "Mom! Don't be so rude." I heard Arena say. "No it's fine, I get B'a and A's on my report cards."

"That's good, school is important keep it up." I laughed a little "sure thing, by the way this is the best spaghetti I've ever had. Your a very good cook Larcy." "Oh I'm not the one who made it."

"Really then who did?" "Arena made it." Max said taking another bite. "Are you serious?" David looks at Arena shocked. "It's nothing, it's the only thing I can make."

"Lier you make lots of stuff and your the best cook ever!" "Im not that good." Arena and to my biggest surprise blushed a little bit. I rubbed his eyes and looked back a Arena who's face was back to normal. Did I imagine that?

We finished eating dinner and I got up. "Thanks for inviting me over but I should start heading home. There's a project I have to finish." "Okay I understand thanks for coming over."

"It was my pleasure, goodbye." I left the room, went outside, and started to head to my car. "David hold up!" I looked back and saw Arena run up to me. "What's up?"

"I'm sorry about my mom, she doesn't know when to keep silent sometimes." "Oh it's fine, I didn't really mind." I saw Arena sigh "Thank goodness." "What's wrong?" Arena looked at me with a confused look. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know you've been acting weird lately." "What do you mean?" "You've been nice lately it's kinds freaky." "So mean! I am a very nice person!" "No your not." "Are to!" "No your not."

"Whatever just leave already stupid." "There's the Arena I know." I said smiling. "Ugh I hate you! Get off my lawn!" "Okay okay I'm leaving, see you later." "I hope not!"

I heard her yell before I shut my car door. I turned in the car and look back at the house just to see her shutting the door. "I swear she's going too get me in a tough situation one day..."
