Forever And A
Day
Chapter Sixty
After
getting over the initial shock that my mom was actually going to
let me go to hockey, I ran upstairs to get ready.
Figuring that Alex and everyone else in the entire palace was too
busy to take me, I decided I would have to either have a
chauffeur take me or call Joey.
I decided to call Joey, cause I hate taking the
limos.
Everyone was surprised to see me at practice, especially the
coach. But Joey was right, this team really did suck.
I didn't really care. I was just glad to be back.
When I got home three hours later, I was kind of surprised to see
everyone still gathered in the family room, except for Kate and
Alex.
"Hey, guys," I said awkwardly as they all stared at me
when I walked in.
I put my hockey bag in the corner and leaned the stick against
the wall.
"Nate, oh my god, get rid of that thing," Grace whined,
nodding towards the bag.
"Why? I'll get it later," I said.
"It smells."
"Um, no it doesn't," I shot back.
"Then you do!"
"Grace, Nathaniel, please-" Mom
said.
"No I don't! I just took a shower after practice! My
hair is still wet! Shut up!"
"Nate! Oh my god!"
I rolled my eyes at her.
"Stop," my father boomed.
We both fell silent. I slid down in my chair in Grace crossed her
arms.
"What we were trying to say was, we're going to have a
big surprise party for Kate and Alex. Charlotte will take care of
the guest list, so you can invite whoever you want as long you
tell her to put their names on the list. And no alcohol,"
mom said.
She shot a very directed, pointed look at me.
"When is this big party?" I asked.
"Tomorrow night," dad answered.
"How are you going to keep Kate and Alex away long enough so
that they don't notice anything out of the usual?" Grace
asked.
"That's Nate's job!" Mom smiled.
"I think that should be Grace's job!" I said,
mocking her tone.
Grace shot me a dirty look.
"Why? You can't handle making sure they don't come
up here?" dad asked sternly.
"'Course I can. But I need to... heal," I said
quickly, grabbing my side. "Ow."
"Nate."
"So babysitting Kate and Alex it is, then," I
sighed.
