'I don't think this is such a good
idea' is what his next look seemed to say.
"Lets go work on our project
Hunter," I ordered, emphasizes project so my brother
would understand why he was here. I led Hunter to our
basement, where I had set some of the necesseties we would need
for putting this thing together.
"I didn't know Jake was your brother!" Hunter said
in awe.
"Yeah he is, but I personally think he's
adopted..." I explained.
"Ha, i disagree, you sorta look like each other..."
"You saying I look like a guy?"
"No... I meant... like..."
"Thanks, you know what just leave."
"No! Sorry! I didn't meant it like that!" I broke
out laughing, he actually thought i was serious! When he figured
out i was joking he playfully punched my arm. I continued to
giggle but then decided it was time to get to work.
We began to construct our mini replica of Mount Fuji in Japan. We
also had to make a paper or something like a script to read to
the class, and we had to somehow make this thing errupt.
We would get extra points for making it errupt using something
other then the baking soda trick, and if we don't manually
add them in to make them errupt. For example, if we did do the
baking soda, we'd get extra point if we like somehow made
something to pur the ingredients in when we press a button rather
then us just pouring them in.
The thing wasn't due until Friday, but I don't know when
else we'd have time for this so we were gonna try to do as
much as possible right now. We needed to use papermahce' to
make it, paint it, and make a base that looks like the area in
Japan where it sits. While we waited for the papermache' to
dry, we made the base as best as we could. We couldn't paint
yet, so we sat on our couch and discussed ideas to get our
mixture in.
"Ok, so how about we rig the ceiling so when we press a
button a tube comes down and puts the stuff in then a mini
airplane comes and drops the other stuff in!" Hunter
suggested.
"Your such a dork," I smiled.
"No!"
"Yeah!" he pushed me off the couch, so i kicked him in
the shin. "Ow!"
"Wimp!" I taunted.
"Hoe."
"Jerk," were so nice to each other right? The machete
soon dried so we painted it a brownish color and painted the base
we had created. After putting on the finishing touches, it was
already five o'clock. We started to assemble our contraption
to make it work, and then took a break when Jake yelled that he
had ordered a pizza and it was here. After eating, we finished
up, and got bored so I threw on some music.
He had called his mom earlier and she had agreed to let him go to
the movie, I would pay for him he'd just have to pay me back
later.
The song amazed by Lonestar came on, and he jokingly asked me to
dance. We did, not like a slow dance, but like a ballroom dance
sort of thing. Laughing, we collapsed back onto my couch, my feet
in his lap.
I logged onto witty on my Ipod and when he asked what I was
doing, and I explained the website, he got really interested and
made me sit up so he could look over my shoulder at the website
and the quotes. The battery started to die, so i threw it onto
the other side of the couch. Then I remembered something.
"Hey, remember yesterday when we were talking after school?
You said 'you know what else I'm thinking about?',
what did you mean?" I asked looking up at him, realizing he
was sitting really close still.
"Oh, it was nothing," he stated, looking a bit
uncomfortable.
"Tell me!"
"Um... no thanks."
"Please?"
"I was just thinking about hiw awesome our project was going
to look. That's all."
"Oh..." i said, slightly dissappointed.
He caught this, and looked slightly taken aback, "okay, so I
lied. I was actually thinking that you looked really
pretty."
"What?" I asked suprised.
"Yeah, sorry that's probably really awkward... I
don't know what came over me... sorry..."
"No, it's fine, thanks..." I said, looking up at
him. We both stayed quiet for a second, then my phone beeped,
Callie had texted me back. I told her that Hunter was in and that
they could both meet me at my house and Jake would drive us to
the movie, I ignored her reply, and also through my phone across
the couch.
I looked back over at Hunter and found he was staring intently at
me, like he din't know what to do with me. He pushed a strand
of hair behind my ear, and I smiled up at him. I shivered
slightly from the cool air in my basement, and he instictively
put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me a little closer
to him.
I locked eyes with him, and toally got lost in his deep brown
eyes, my mind completely cleared of anything but this guy sitting
in front of me. He leaned down towards me and I closed my eyes
just as his face was about an inch from mine. The doorbell ramg
but I ognored it, I wasn't expecting anyone.
Except Callie when she would come for the movie.
My mind went back to when I had gotten the text from her, I had
checked the clock, it had been 8:20. It was most likely her. My
eyes flew open just as Hunter lips were about to press against
mine. I quickly slid to the other side of the couch and layed
down, pretending to be texting.
"What the...?" Hunter exclaimed.
"Act natural..." I said quickly. He looked confused but
leaned aginst the couch as if he was just relaxing. Just in time
too, no longer then ten seconds later did Callie come prancing
down the
stairs.
