All
I can say is this has been the day from
hell! It's Saturday, right? And even
though it was after 12, I did not need to
have a phone wake me up! But it did. And
my sister, Felicia, picks it up and I hear
her say, "Oh, hi, Kyle!" in this giggly,
gag me, "Don't you think I'm sexy?" voice
that she puts on whenever she thinks it
will help.
I
don't think I've mentioned Kyle. He works
at Straws, the music store. He also plays
in a band called Ragin' 'Mones and let me
tell you, he is hot! I met him a couple of
days after we moved here. It was my little
brother Trevor's birthday and I knew he
wanted the new No Fear album so I went to
Straws, 'cause I heard it was a good store
with friendly vibes. Totally true! 'Cause
I just walked in and there was Kyle who
flashed me the finest smile and asked if
he could help me. Now, you know how some
guys say something like that and they're
looking you up and down and thinking all
kinds of nasty things? But Kyle wasn't
like that. He was really respectful and I
felt relaxed around him, which isn't
something I usually feel around cute guys,
you know. Anyway, I told him what I was
looking for and he showed me where to find
it. Turns out it was even on sale, so,
like, cool! And while he was gift wrapping
Trevor's CD, we talked and it turns out he
knew someone at my old school that we both
agreed was a total jerk. So that was kinda
funny. Then Kyle said "Welcome to the
neighborhood. I hope I see you around." So
I gave him my phone number (to make it
easier for him) and he thanked me and I
left.
That
was a month ago and he never called. Not
like he actually said he would or
anything, but, you know. Anyway, that
brings me to this morning and me wondering
why Felicia was talking to
my Kyle!?
After
she got off I asked her how she knew Kyle
and she said she'd met him at... guess
where? Straws! And that they were going
out 'cause it was his day off! I couldn't
believe it! But I was cool and didn't say
anything 'cause the last thing I wanted
was for Felicia to mouth off to Kyle that
her sister had a crush on him or
something. Then the two of them could get
a good laugh over that. No way! So while
she was in the shower, singing and being
all excited about her date, I went into
her room and took her black crop top, the
one she always wears when she's trying to
look sexy. And I put it on and got out of
the house real quick!
I
didn't really know where I was going but
it felt good to be outside. It was just
starting to rain a little and I was kinda
imagining that the drops were washing away
my bad mood. When I passed the park I saw
Trevor shooting baskets with a couple of
kids. He asked me where I was going and I
said "The movies" (don't ask me why.) And
Trevor said he really wanted to see
Avengers II and could he come with me? Not
my kinda film at all, but, hey, I had
nothing better to do and I like being with
Trevor. He's such a happy little kid and
he's still at the age where he's not
afraid to show how much he loves
me.
So
we get to the movies and I'm hoping we can
go right in and sit down, without seeing
anyone I knew 'cause I didn't have time to
do my make-up or anything before I left
the house. And who's standing in line
right in front of us? Miguel and his
little brother Ray! It turns out the
Trevor knows Ray from school and they're
like buds. So the two little kids decide
to sit together and that kinda left me and
Miguel sitting together. Okay, I think,
this could be interesting. I mean, I kinda
like Miguel and he was so sweet to his
brother. Buying him candy and making sure
he and Trevor were sitting where no one
would bother them and all. It was nice
watching him.
So
the lights go off and I'm feeling kinda
cozy sitting in the dark next to Miguel.
I'm thinking that I didn't really care
about all that stuff with Felicia and Kyle
and maybe this day was going to turn out
okay. Maybe better than okay. Then the
movie started and it was really loud and
violent and the whole attitude toward
women... gimme a break! There was this one
scene where these low lifes were sitting
around drinking in this bar and this woman
walks by and one of the guys makes some
rude comment about the size of her
breasts. And the others start pushing each
other and cracking up. Some guys in the
audience were laughing at what that fool
said and I got really mad at all of them,
for being such pigs. Then I looked at
Miguel and he was laughing too! That did
it. I just grabbed my stuff and told
Miguel to tell Trevor I'd meet him
outside! And I left.
