Again and Again
Chapter four.
The next day, I woke up and dragged my self out of the treefort and down the ladder. I opened the sliding glass door and the table was already set for breakfast. Every one was downstairs and spread at on the bean bags and around the counters. Everyone ate brekfast, while the grown ups made small talk. Afterward we all went in the back yard and started a game of 4 square on the trampoline.
" So what you do is you jump from spot to spot and..."
I drowned my dad out. He gets pretty into the game. We all lined up on the side and took turns getting beat by my dad. The teenagers seemed pretty amused by my dads aggressivness towards the stupid trampoline game. It was my turn.
" Ahhhhh!"
My dad let out a war cry and tackled me right when I stepped foot in my square.
"Really dad?"
I rolled my eyes and dind't even think about getting back in line. I walk up the stairs and into my room. Josh and emmas stuff was scatttered over my bunk bed. I grab my hair straightner and did a quick run through my hair it looked much better. Then I put on top eyliner and then mascara, I actaully looked alive. I put on shorts and a floral tanktop. I went downstairs were my brother and sister and Josh and Emma were all gathered around the counter talking. The parents were outside were my dad was trying to teach them to walk on the tightrope.
" Hey"
I said as I walked over to where my sister was. Josh looked up and then did a double take. He never looked at me like that before, those big brown eyes looked straight into mine.
"So spiderman is way better"
My sister continued her story about our nieghborhood argument which was spiderman verses batman. I'm batman all the way.
"Umm..Yeah no. You are so stupid, Batman is way better looking in and out of his costume." I said
Emma laughes.
"I agree batman is way better"
Josh said, I look up and saw him smiling at me that cute half smile of his. I blushed and looked down.
"Do you wanna play some hoops kids?"
Just then the parents came in , and my dad was holding a basketball waiting for us to respond.
"Dad you know I can't play basketball"
My sister said
" Me either "
I chimed in, My brother and josh followed my dad and paul outside. While Emma and Shawn, Go upstairs. Me and my sister go and sit on the brick wall while watching the boys play basketball. Soon my dad and paul leave to go on a walk and my brother and sister went upsatirs to get ready.
"Why don't you play hoops with josh?"
My dad said as he was putting his shoes on.
I looked down.
"I suck at basketball "
I laughed.
" Oh, I'm sure your fine, just come down here i'll teach you"
My heart skipped a beat, a jumped of the rock wall and walked over to him he puts the basketball in my hand and started to explain how to position your hands to shoot.
" You want your right hand above your left, then aim then just shoot"
He realeses the ball and just barley misses the hoop.
"Sometimes you miss too"
he shyly laughed. I grabbed the ball, and told myself to do exactly what he said. I positioned my hands the aimed and shot.
*swoosh*
It was a perfect shot.
"See, he said I knew you weren't bad" He smiled and jokingly pated me on the shoulder.
"Thanks Joe" I said
"Joe?" he laughed "Why did you call me joe?"
"Thats my knew nickname for you....Joe"
