What If There Is No Light At The End Of The Tunnel
*Chapter 9*
I heard my mom pull into the drive way. I got up and went to the couch and set down. She walked in and my little brother, William, came trailing in behind her.
“Hey honey. How was school today?”
I hesitated.
“It was okay. The same old same old.”
“I see. Well, get ready for dinner, while I find something to cook.
“Okay.”; I said, getting up and went upstairs to my room to drop my stuff off. Then went to the bath room.
I came back down to find we were having tacos. I ate about three of them and went upstairs.
I couldn’t stop thinking about that kiss all night. It took me forever to fall asleep.
When I woke up and got dressed. I meet my mom at the end of the stairs. She just looked at me like I was about to get the biggest punishment in my life.
“Why is there a boy at the door, by the name of Frankie?”
“Um,… I don’t know. He rides my bus.”
“Oh, I see. Well, you go and let him in or something. I got to get William up and dressed. He’s being lazy this morning.”
“Okay.”
She went up the stairs and I walked towards the door. I opened it and he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me in close to him.
“What are you doing?”; I asked.
“What? I can’t hold you?”
“We just meet. Not even two days ago.”
“So. Doesn’t mean we can’t be in a relationship?”; He said with a smirk on his face. My heart about melted. I sighed and looked into his eyes.
“I guess.”
“Then, you’ll be my girlfriend?”
“Yeah.”
He kissed me lightly on the lips as the bus honked its horn. I grabbed my bag and closed the door.
We walked towards the bus hand in hand. I got on first, then he followed me towards the back. We sat down, and he took my hand into his.
