Authors Note~ Sorry I haven't added onto my story in a while! I've been really busy! But I hope you like this one!
-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—
Ugh! My dad never tells me anything! And just to add to it, Aunt Rotelle is still here!
I walk down the hall and back upstairs to my room. I grab my phone.
"No new messages!" It's says.
Urg! I need someone to talk to! I decide I'll text someone and see I they respond.
(Texting)
Hai! To Abby.
No response.
I try the same thing with Racheal. Again, no response. It's times like this when I wish I had more friends..
I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen to see if supper was ready. My dad isn't in here so I check in the living room. Not there either. He's probably in the garage cooking the food.
"Rawrr!" Someone screams behind me.
I turn around and see nobody.
"Aunt Rotelle!" I scream. "You know I hate being scared!"
She walks out from the hallway closet.
"I forgot." She says innocently.
God, it's like taking care of a 4 year old! I think to myself.
I hear the garage door open in the kitchen. Finally.
My dad walks in with a big plate of grilled meat. Yummy! I start walking over to the table and notice there were only three place mats.
"Uh dad, there's only three place mats. Do you want me to get more?" I say walking back into the kitchen.
"Oh I figured that you and Josh could eat up in your room so that way us grown ups could talk for a while." He says with a smile.
"Um, ok." I say.
Wouldn't you think that a single father would want his only daughter as far away as possible from a boy? I guess not..
I walk to the china cabinet and grab myself a plate.
"Payton, can you grab Josh a plate too?" My dad asks.
Without replying I grab a second plate. I turn around and ham it to Josh.
"Here." I say.
"Thanks."
"Yup."
I walk over to the silver ware drawer and grab each of us a fork and spoon. I hand Josh his. I fill my plate and walk upstairs. Of course, Josh's right on my tail.
When we get upstairs, I leave the door open. I walk to my desk and sit down.
"You can sit on my bed if ya want." I say to Josh.
"Ok."
I can tell he's not so happy about this either, sitting in his dads best friend's daughters room.. Alone with her. And the same for me. God, I wish I could read minds, to see what he was thinking.
(This is my first time changing the Point Of View, hope I do a good job!)
Josh's POV.
Jee. Thanks dad! Now it's gonna be even more awkward between us! I don't know what to say to her.
"Uh, so.." I say.
Uh, so..? That's all could come up with! If I was alone surely I would be hitting my head against the wall.
"Yep.." She says.
All the sudden I her a sound. What the hell? What is it? It sounds like.. My phone! I look around and I notice Payton's holding a phone in her hands. It's not mine but I swear I heard my phone. We here did I leave it? Oh well.
"I think I have that same ringtone.." I says.
"That's cool.." She says.
I look down at my plate. I haven't eaten a bit of my food.
Out of the corner of my eye I see something reach out from under the bed.
"Ah! What the hell!" I say.
I only see Payton laughing. I love her laugh, one time at school I made her laugh so hard she started crying. Good times go by quickly though.
"What was that?" I say.
"It's my cat." She says. She's down on the floor reaching under the bed. She pulls out a huge, and I mean HUGE, fluffy cat! "I'm no expert but I don't think a cat should be that big!" I say, thinking out loud.
"Yeah she's gotten pretty big." Payton says, she's still trying to stop laughing!
"What's its name?" I ask.
"Gadget, and she's not an "it" she's a girl." She says.
"Oh sorry.."
"It's ok."
She sits down next to me on the bed, with the cat on her lap. I reach over and pet it.
"She's really soft.." I say.
"Only because my dad forces me to give her a bath every month!" She pulls up her sleeves to show all of the scars. "She isn't really a big fan of water.. Or anything that's wet."
"I can tell."
Gadget squirms free from her arms and runs back under the bed.
"She's not very friendly around strangers.." Payton says.
"It's ok."
We just sit there for a while eating.. I don't know what to talk about...
Payton's POV
Ugh! It's like my brain has stopped working! I want to say something but I don't know what to say.
I hear a ringing.. It's my phone. Somebody's skyping me. It's Racheal! I answer it.
(Skype)
"Hey Racheal!" I say.
"Hi Payton!" Racheal says.
Josh leans over towards me.
"I'm here too!" He says.
"Josh!? Why are you at Payton's house?" She asks.
"Out parents.." Josh and I say in unison.
"Oh yeah, I forgot they were friends." She says.
"Yeah, so why did ya Skype meh?" I ask.
"Oh I was just bored and you were online so.. Ya you get what in going at.."
"Yeah."
"Hey! Josh remember that day we got out early before break? Ya know, after Payton left? Remember what happened?" Racheal asks happily.
Josh blushes.
"How could I forget..?" He says.
"What are you two talking about?" I ask.
"Well, the day before break after you left Josh and I played Hangman." Racheal says.
"Yeah.. So?" I say.
"Josh was trying to figure out what the sentence thing was and he said Josh likes Payton..? And I said no. Then he said them what is it? And I said Josh LOVES Payton!"
I look over at Josh. He's blushing so hard you could mistake him for a tomato.
"Ad that's not the end of it!" Racheal says. "After I told him what it was, he said did ya hear that Leo? I'm stealing your woman! And then Leo came over and chocked him to the ground!" Racheal said.
"Seriously!?" I ask Josh.
"Well- Uh.. Yeah it's true.." He says, still blushing.
"Haha that's so funny!" I say, laughing.
I hear a voice in the background of Racheal's screen.
"I gotta go I have basketball practice."
"Ok bye." I say.
I hit end and just sit there. I glance at Josh and he's still blushing.
"You don't need to be embarrassed. If ya don't want me to I won't tell anybody else..?" I say.
"No it's not that I don't want anybody else to know its just–." His dads voice cuts him off.
"Come on Josh! It's time to go home!"
"Ok be there in a second!" Josh says.
He turns to me.
"I'll text ya later." He says as he walks out if the room.
"Yeah." I say.
