Hope There Is Always

A new start

When i woke up again it was 12 PM. I remembered what had happened in the early morning that day. But nothing made sense. Why did i tell him that i was feeling sad or anything. I had just met him and we were already expressing ourselves. This was creeping me out.
I got in jean shorts and a low V shirt, i put on some high knee boots and jogged downstairs.
"Gooooodd Moorning!!" I cheered. "hey wheres mom and dad?" i asked.
"Hey look who's happy." Sally laughed.
"They left to work." Zack responded.
To 'work'.
We had just moved and they already had jobs. wow.
"Oh, nice." I answered not knowing what else to say.
"I know right. Thats what i said too." Sally smiled.
"You should've seen the look on her face though!" Zack managed to say between fits of laughter.
"Whatever. So where were you this early morning?" Sally winked.
With just that i knew that she had seen me with Alex.
"I know that you know that i know what happened." Sally smirked.
Zack stopped at mid-laugh.
"Whats going on here. Eh? Something big toughie here should know?" Zack narrowed his eyes at us.
"N-no...wheres Joshua...?" I tried to change the subject.
"over at Alex's playing with Caleb." Zack explained. "you know,maybe we should go." and without our approval he shot out right the door.
"Lets go see how Alex is doing." Sally winked and followed Zack. I took a deep breath and walked out closing the door behind me.
I had my plan. Yes i had a plan. It was avoid Alex and 'if' he does talk to me ill make my answers simple.
After what happened earlier im a little embarrassed for telling him my thoughts.
But the truth is how can i avoid him...? Hes cute ill give him that but also understanding of what i just found out in the morning.
"Hey" a male voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked up to find Alex standing a few feet away from me. To the side i saw my big brother trying to flirt with Maya. Sally was trying to get him away though.
"Hi." I simply stated to Alex who was still waiting a response.
"How did you sleep?"
"Good."
"You dream of anything?"
"No."
"Are you feeling good?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Ok honestly i think i was being too harsh because he didn't say anything else and stared at the ground awkwardly. I decided to give up and stop my nonsense.
"Um....how'd you sleep...?" I asked.
"Good..." He didn't look up.
"Im sorry...if i was harsh...I just feel a little awkward of earlier me telling you my thoughts.."
"Its fine..."
"Do you want to hang out later on today...?" He looked up surprised and i felt my stomach tighten up in knots. I didn't even know why i wanted to hang out with him. All i knew is that my mouth had decided to blurt it out without my permission.
"If you your ok with it of course." I stated breaking the silence.
"....Yea ...um.....what time...?" Alex hesitated.
"Your choice." I gave him a warm smile.
"Um...at....6...?" He asked me.
"If its fine with you its fine with me."
He smiled at this.
"Yes its fine with me."
"Great!" I cheered unconsciously.
He laughed "you seem so happy now"
"Well, ya....i don't know but yes." I laughed.
~*~*~*~*
I came back to my house and spent the the next hours watching movies, hearing music, and drawing anime.
At 5 i walked to go take a shower making sure i closed my window for if Mr. Alex decided to take a walk and peek through my window.
I take too long to shower so when i checked the clock it was 5:46.
I quickly changed and put on a tank top and on top an aqua low waist blouse.
I had leggings on and some boots.
Yes. I know i have a lot of boots but i love boots.
Once I finished it was 5:54. I tied my hair in a loose messy bun and ran downstairs. By this time mom was home but not dad.
"Hey where you heading to all fancy." mom asked.
"Im going to go hang out with Alex." i answered and a slow smirk appeared on her face.
"No! Only to hang out!" I nearly screeched.
"I know." she stuck her tongue at me. "have fun... kay? Love you." my mom told me.
"Kay...!" I yelled as i walked out the house.
I saw Alex leaning on his porch his back on the wall. His hands in his pockets, one foot on the wall and one resting down. He had a simple white shirt and some grey skinny jeans.
I had to admit he looked hot. I blushed at the thought and cleared it off.
"Hey" I smiled. He looked up and found me standing infront of his porch.
"Oh hey" He smiled back. "so where you want to go...?"
I thought for a moment.
"I don't know. How about you take me to your favorite place. After all I'm new here right?" I smirked.
He chuckled. "ok." He got off the wall which was a shame because i was enjoying it and he walked towards me.
"Come on." He told me. And i did.
He had a nice car. It was silver and a convertible. He opened the passengers door and let me in. Such a gentleman.
Then he closed the door and hopped on the drivers side.
He turned the car on and got out the driveway.
I wonder where he was taking me...
