"Hey, no monkey business with me in the room." Chris said, and I laughed at him.
I was laughing so hard during the movie, I had to set my water down so I wouldn't spill it. Chris and Alex kept laughing at me. When the movie was over my cheeks hurt!
"I don't know what was funnier, the movie, or listening to you laugh so hard!" Chris said.
"I couldn't help it! That was hilarious!" I said. I started laughing again when I thought of funny parts.
"You should probably get home now, hu?" Alex said.
"Probably." I said.
"See you later." Chris said.
"Goodnight." I said. I gave Alex a kiss on the cheek and left.
As I was backing out, Todd called me wanting to hang out. So I told him to just come by my parents house in about a half hour. When I got home Grandpa had left. Mom and Dad where just getting ready for bed and Christopher was up in his room playing music.
I went to my room, changed into my PJ's and then went to the kitchen to find something to snack on.
"Oh Hi honey." My mom said when I walked into the kitchen.
"Hi." I said.
She started making some coffee. "How did it go?" She asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm not sure if it's going to last." I said.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"It's okay." I said.
"Well, we are glad to have you home for the summer." She said.
I smiled, "Yeah it feels good to be back." I said, "Oh, Todd is going to be coming by to hang out, just so you know."
"Okay." She said, "And you are wearing that?" She asked.
I giggled, "It's just Todd."
"Well, you said it might not work out with Alex. Maybe Todd could be the boy of your dreams." She said smiling.
"Momma, I don't think so." I said.
"You had a big crush on him at the beginning of the year." She said laughing.
"I know, but then I met Alex." I said.
She gave me a look like I was crazy. "Oh, hush." I said laughing.
"Well, I just want you to be happy." She said. I smiled.
"Thanks. Me too." I told her.
She hugged me, then poured two cups of coffee for her and my dad.
"Need some help?" I asked her.
"No, I got it." She said, smiling. She walked back to their room, and there was a knock on the door.
"Hi Todd." I said, opening the door.
"Hey, whats up?" He said, walking in.
"Do you want me to make popcorn or something?" I asked.
"If you want." He said.
"Eh, I'll just get some chips." I said opening the cabinet. I got a bag of chips and grabbed us each a Pepsi. We went to my bedroom and I closed the door. He sat down on the floor in front of my bed and turned on the TV. "Saturday Night Live?" He asked.
"Sure." I said smiling.
I sat down next to him and handed him his Pepsi.
"Thanks." He said.
"Any time." I said nudging him on the shoulder with mine.
"That was cheesy." He said, laughing.
"Hey! Cheesy is hot. Not as cool as corny, but still hot." I said, and he laughed again.
"You are such a dork sometimes."
"You know it. Someone's got to be." I said.
"Well, you do a good job."
"The best job!" I said, laughing.
He put his hand on my leg and laughed. I looked down at his hand and he moved it quickly. I giggled and started watching the TV.
"So, still dating the Professor?" He asked.
I laughed, "Don't call him the Professor. That's sounds retarded."
"Well he is one." He said.
"Shut up." I said laughing.
"Well?"
"Yeah, I think so." I said grabbing a chip.
"You think so?" He asked.
"Well, I'm not sure if it'll work out. Ever since we started seeing each other outside of school, it's been a little wierd. We've been seeing eachother outside of school for a day now." I explained.
"Oh, wow." He said.
"Yeah, tell me about it." I said. "So, did you manage to pass your English class?"
"Todd is good at talking his way into passing classes." He said.
"You dork. Maybe you should try next semester." I said laughing.
He threw a chip at me and hit my chin. "I'm good at persuading people. It's what I do best." He said.
"Uh huh." I said picking up the chip and throwing it at him.
"Hey, I'll make one great salesman one day." He said.
"That is your big plan for the future? A salesman?" I asked.
"No. I don't know what I want to do." He said.
"Still? You've been at school a year longer then me, and you still don't know?" I asked.
"Hey, I've thought about it." He said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, But I just don't think I'm cut out to be an astronaut or a rock star." He said. It made me laugh so hard.
"Yeah, well persuasive slacker isn't a good profession either." I said.
"Says you. I bet I'd be pretty good at it." He said. He put his hand on my leg again, and I looked at him.
"I saw a chip." He said.
"So you are holding it there?" I asked.
"I brushed it away." he lied.
"Whatever! You are so full of shit!" I said.
