The Secret of Wings

Chapter 9

We sat down on the bed discussing what to do for our presentation. We decided to make a prezi because they were like way more interesting than a regular PowerPoint and we got to work reading and taking notes on our section.

Soon we were putting our notes together into the prezi. Surprisingly enough it hadn't been too awkward yet but we hadn't really been doing much talking except to discuss the chapter or if we had an idea on how something in the prezi should look.

We certainly weren't laughing and joking around like we had that first day, but it was better than class earlier.

"Sam, Lily! Dinner is ready" his mom yelled up the stairs.

I looked over at Sam as he pressed save and got off the bed, heading to the door.

He glanced back at me.

"Are you coming?" He questioned.

I realized that I was still sitting there on the bed.

"Oh yeah." I said awkwardly, as I stood up to follow him out the door.

We headed down the stairs to the first floor and I followed Sam as he walked into an elaborate dinning room that had a table set for three people. He sat down in one of the chairs as his mom bustled in with a large bowl of pasta.

"Honey you can sit down" She said to me, smiling.

"Oh thanks." I replied, pulling out one of the chairs and sitting down.

"I made my famous penne a la vodka for you" she said smiling. "It's Sam's favorite pasta and I just love my little boy so much that I make it for him all the time. "

"Thanks mom" he muttered, blushing red.

I chuckled a little and his mom joined in.

Sam blushed even more which made his mom even more amused and soon he gave it, laughing with us.

As the laughter died down his mom grabbed plates and began to dish out the pasta. It really did look good. I dug in and I was amazed.

"This is so amazing" I breathed. "I don't think I have had food this good in my entire life."

"Thanks sweetie." She said smiling widely.

Dinner was great, I really liked his mom, if only he could be like her then this physics class would be a breeze.

Soon our plates were cleaned of the delicious pasta and she was getting ready to bring them back into the kitchen, shooing us back off upstairs to finish the project.

As we walked back into Sam's room I immediately wished that I was back downstairs with his mom because the awkwardness had settled in again.

Soon we had finished the project and he was sending me the link and turning off his laptop.

"So that's finally done" I said. Trying to break the silence.

He nodded.

"Um. Should I text my brother and tell him to come get me now?" I asked.

"You can. But I was thinking if you wanted to we could both go over to Ryder's house for a little while. He's throwing a party tonight and he said we should stop by after we finished our project."

"Oh um ok. That sounds like fun." I said.

He was so confusing. He had barely been talking to me all day and now he invites me to a party. I just didn't understand this kid.

Oooooh a party at Ryder's house. What's going to happen!!
