I Never Knew
Chapter Three Part
One
I hesitated to open
it, my thumb fumbled over the keyboard in a scurry
trying to get it to open. I took a death breath as my
heart raced, I clicked the open button and the message
popped up.
Hey Partner come meet me by the parking lot so my
mom can pick us up :)
I quickly sent a reply since my body was taken over by
excitement.
Okay I’ll be there in one second.
What if answering so fast made me look pushy, or even
worse desperate. I looked around to see if I could see
him waiting for me, when I spotted him. I started to
walk towards him when he noticed me and waved. I swear
my heart stopped beating for a minute and the world
froze as I stepped closer to him. This is it,
there’s no time for messing around here, if I
want to impress Ryan then I need to act casual. But not
fake.
As reality set back in and my heart restarted with its
usual thudding, I noticed that I was less then five
feet away from him.
“Hey Alex, are you ready to go?” he asked
me with a smile from ear to ear.
“I’m ready when you’re ready.” I answered
matching my smile to his.
“Okay great because my mom is already
here.” He said as he
pointed over at a red mini van.
Walking towards the van felt like a dream. I knew
everything was real but it didn’t feel like it
was actually happening to me. This was weird because I
had never felt like this before. But I had also never
been invited over to Ryan’s house before either.
When we got to the van Ryan opened up the side door and
hopped in, I followed quickly behind him and closed the
door behind me. He then introduced me to his mom who
was sitting up front in the driver’s seat, I
waved and said hello and then the rest of the car ride
was filled with an awkward silence.
As we pulled up in front of his house I couldn’t
help but notice how cozy it looked from the outside. It
was a two level brick house with white trim and
matching shutters on the windows. The front lawn was
neatly manicured and had a quaint little flower garden
that stretched to the end of the driveway. At the foot
of the driveway there was a little sign that said
the parker family that finished off the look
of the house. I wasn’t even inside and I already
knew I felt safe here.
