Chapter 9
Story name unknown; by xwittystoriesx
Andrew led me to his room, where he collected his Xbox and Black Ops game, bringing it to his basement. His basement was fully finished, and looked as nice as his upstairs. We entered the french doors to the family room. Sitting on the long beige couch, was a girl that looked 10 years old. "Maddie, could you please get off the couch and go watch MTV upstairs?" Andrew asked her. "Oh, and Kaylee, this is my 10-year-old sister Madison. Madison, this is my friend Kaylee." "Hi Kaylee." Madison said, popping her gum she was chewing. "Hey." I smiled. "Andrew, I told you, the TV upstairs doesn't have MTV. And I'm watching my favourite show, so you're going to have to go someplace else." Madison said, in an annoyed tone.
"No, Maddie. Stop arguing and go, please." Andrew said patiently, still holding his Xbox and Black Ops game. "Fine, whatever." she replied, walking upstairs. "Hah, I see you two get along really well." I said sarcastically, once Madison was out of the room. "She's only 10, and obsessed with MTV. Plus, she's been begging for a cell phone, since all her other friends have one. She's just so.. ugh." Andrew sighed, setting up his system on the flat-screen TV. "Wow, impressive. I got my cell phone a couple months ago." I said, plopping myself on the couch. "I rarely use mine." Andrew said, sitting next to me, a few inches away. "Okay so, do you know how to play?" "Nope!" I smiled. "Alright, well first off, the point of this game is to..." Andrew started explaining. When he was done, and I understood, we started playing.
Halfway into the game, I was already killed multiple times. All the blood and sounds freaked me out a bit, so I excused myself to the bathroom. I just stood at the sink, checking the texts on my phone. One was from Lily, one from Sam, and one from Heather- the usual. "Heey chickaa! Wasssup? The girls and I have been trying to call you on your phone for like, everrrr! :(" The message from Lily said. I replied with, "Nmjc, just at a friend's housee, no worries girl! ;)<3 I'll call you back when I have time, we should all hang out tmrw- you, me, heather, sam! :D". I wrote the same to Heather and Sam, after they asked where I was and what I was doing.
I walked out of the bathroom, and Andrew was still playing Black Ops. "Hey, um.. do you want to do something else? Maybe go to the park or something?" I asked. Andrew paused the game. "Sure, I can tell this game is getting a bit boring for you, huh?" He smiled. "Oh! And do you want to make hot chocolate upstairs and then we could go to the nearby park? Whatever you want." He added shyly. "Sure." I nodded, and we headed to his kitchen. I showed Andrew how to properly make the hot chocolate, and laughed when he almost burned himself. We went back downstairs and drank our hot chocolate there. I turned on the TV, and surfed the channels. "So.. what's new? Where's Jamie today?" Andrew asked. "Nothing much, I think Jamie's at her dad's house, that's what her mom told me." I said, taking a sip of the warm, delicious tasting hot chocolate. "Aha, okay." he nodded.
When we were done, Andrew and I walked to the park and went on the swings. It got even colder than last time I was outside, and my light sweater didn't help. Andrew was wearing a blue fall jacket with a long sleeve shirt underneath, and he could tell I was shivering. "Hey, do you want to borrow my jacket?" He asked. I felt so embarrassed, and blushed. Only in movies and books, did a guy or a boyfriend lend you his jacket. But Andrew wasn't my boyfriend, he was my friend- that was a guy. "Are you sure? I mean, you're going to be cold too, so I'll just go home." I said quickly, and jumped off the swing. "No, it's okay, I won't be cold." Andrew said, following me. "Nah, I'm also late for dinner, so I'll go home." I smiled, wrapping my sweater tighter around me. "Well then I'll walk you home." He said.
I got home soon, and hoped I wasn't late for dinner or grounded. I thanked Andrew and hugged him good-bye, then waved as he took the sidewalk to his house. I opened my front door, and Marilyn was standing there, smiling like crazy. "Oooooh! Kaylee has a boyfriend! Kaylee has a boyfriend! Kaylee has a boyfriend!" She sang, skipping in circles around me. "No I do not! He's just my friend!" I shouted, over her voice. "What's going on?" My mom said, coming from the kitchen. "Mommy! Kaylee has a boyfriend!" Marilyn said. "No! No I don't! Andrew is just my friend." I told her. "Ah, okay honey. Tell me more about Andrew over dinner. We're having chicken and Caesar salad." My mom smiled. "And your father is coming back from work soon, then we're all going to Aunt Sarah's house." I sighed. "Okay mom." And followed her to the kitchen, where delicious food was waiting. I gave Marilyn a look, as she wouldn't stop smiling at me, and we sat down at the table.
