Alone

Chapter 13

 I'm better than that I'm better that, those three words kept going through my mind. I felt more happy with myself honestly. I haven't felt like this in a long time. When I got home my grandparents were so thrilled to see me like this. Lets hope it can last.

I wanted to scream and jump up and down with joy, this burst of excitement came around. Though what Ms. Taylor said to me was just a statement, it meant the world to me. I was sitting up on my bed when the idea came to me, I was going the write sheet music for my piano. I took out a couple pieces of paper and got started. Starting with just some simple quater notes all the way to eigth. I liked the way it was coming out and couldn't wait to play it. I was interupted by my cell ringing.

"Hello?"

"Heyyyy girl!"

"What's up Sage?"

"Well since its almost the weekend, I was just thinking if you wanted to have a sleepover?"

I thought about it for a minute, not realizing my mind slipped.

"Hello?"

"Umm yeah yeah sure, sorry."

"Great, how about friday after school. My house at 5:00?"

"Sounds good."

"Yay this is gonna be so much fun," She squealed.

We talked for a few more minutes and then hung up. It was already thursday, what was I gonna pack? I've never really ever been to a sleepover before.

                            **********************************************************

Gramps dropped me off and Sage was waving from her glass front door. I said goodbye to gramps and grabbed my stuff from the back. Sage lived in an old big victorian style house, it was beautiful. With all the original woodwork. Being even more beautiful in the inside, when I first got in there was a huge oak staircase, I didn't expect her to live in this kind of a house. 

"Sage your house is beautiful!"

"Thanks, its been passed down through the family," She began," On my father's side of the family, he would be my great great grandfather, he was the manager of a coal mine company back when this town relied on it. He had this house built."

"That's amazing."

"I know isn't it. Almost took three years to build this, mostly because of all the detailing," She said rubbing her hand over the rail of the stairs. 

She told me to follow her into the living room, where her parents were sitting there watching tv. 

"Mom, dad this is Bandit." 

"Well its finally nice to put a name on the face, very nice to meet you sweetie."

"Thanks you too, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds."

"Once your here your family with us," Mrs. Reynolds said," Please call me Lydia and Sage's father is Daniel."

"Oh well alright then."

"But thank you for your good manners and your parents are okay with you coming over?"

I watched Sage give her mom a dirty look.

"Oh I'm sorry," Lydia said.

"Its okay, they...they died in a car accident when I was little. I was there the night they died."

"Oh my gosh that is terrible, no child should have to go through that."

"Okay Bandit c'mon lets go in my room," Sage said tugging my arm.

"Girls before you go, I got out some snacks and drinks. They're in the kitchen on the counter. Help yourselves then."

"Thanks," I said.

We headed up to her room, when I got inside my mouth dropped. It was like something from a magazine. I put my stuff on the floor at the end of her bed. 

She sat on the edge,"  So how is hot stuff been?"

"Uh fine, just fine."

Getting closer to me," So have you kissed him yet...huh huh huh?"

"Ewww no."

"What did you just say?"

"Ewww?"

"No no that is not okay, you can't say ewww to that gorgeous piece of meat!"

"Well I won't be anytime soon, Sage."

"C'mon have someee fun girly," She cheered," Dang if I were you I would snagged him already."

"Maybe," I said turning red.

"That maybe better turn into a yes."

Sage walked over to her desk and sat down going on her laptop.

"What are you doing?"

"Seeing if he has a facebook. Does he?"

"I don't know." 

She logged into facebook and I saw her scrolling through the news feed until she quickly slammed the lid shut.

"What's wrong?" I said going over to her.

"Nothing, you don't wanna see it," She cried.

Taking her laptop," What is it?"

"Go...go on facebook and look at the video that just posted."

Her account was already up and the video already got a crap load of likes. It was a video parody someone made of me and Alex.
