everything I had just seen and read, along with what Miss Baylor had said the night before. There was something very familiar about the book, but I just couldn’t quite wrap my head around it.
“Oh God.” I threw my hand over my mouth. It had just dawned on me the reason the book seemed familiar. I had seen my mom reading the exact same book.
Chapter 11
I was curled up on the couch watching a Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon when my phone started ringing. I snatched my phone from the table. It was a text message from William. My heart immediately raced with excitement.
What are you doing? he text messaged me.
Watching tv. What are you doing? I messaged him back. I was glad he’d sent a text message instead of calling, because I probably would have been all tongue tied, thinking about last night, and how we’d came so close to kissing. Just thinking about it caused my whole body to tremble.
Are we still on for today? he wrote.
Yeah, I guess. Where and when? I hoped I wasn’t acting too disconnected. I didn’t want him to think I wasn’t interested, I just didn’t want him to think I was too eager. The truth was I’d do just about anything to be with him.
I had made the mistake of acting too eager before, back when I lived in L.A. I was overly friendly with this guy I really liked, and because of that, he thought I would give in just to be with him. Was he ever wrong. When I said no and he wouldn’t quit, I ended up kneeing him in the groin as hard as I could. He let me go, but kicked me out of his car, leaving me to find my own way home from the beach.
It’s a surprise. Dress warm and be ready in thirty minutes. I’ll pick you up. Okay?
Yeah. But make it an hour. I wanna finish watching this show first. I had no intentions of watching the next five minutes or fifty minutes. I just didn’t want him to know that. I would need every minute possible to get ready.
See you in an hour. Be sweet. ; )
I jumped up and squealed with excitement. I ran up the stairs as fast as I could, which turned out to be extremely fast. I only had an hour to get ready and I hadn’t even showered yet. I seriously thought he would have given me more of a notice.
I grabbed my robe and towel and hurried into the bathroom, showering in record time. The big job would be picking out something to wear, especially when I didn’t have a clue where he was taking me. It’s not like we had a big selection. We were so far north of the lower forty-eight, I doubt if most people even knew there was life up here. Okay, so I was exaggerating a little bit, but there really wasn’t that much to do except for arcades and movie theatres. And, since they were both indoors and heated, dressing warm certainly wasn’t a requirement.
I had no choice but to just grab something so I opted for a pair of American Eagle lined dark brown corduroys, and a bright pink flannel shirt. And of course I would take my bubble wrap with me.
When my phone rang in the middle of putting on my mascara I almost poked my eye out. I was so nervous with anticipation I jumped at almost any little noise . I’m outside. ; ) William’s text message read.
I’ll be right out. Having the worst case of butterflies ever, I could hardly type the message, my hands trembled so badly. I had no idea what to expect when I walked out through the garage.
The sky was no longer sunny; a band of low lying dark gray clouds filled the air. Autumn would be coming early Aunt Bev had said, so I took that to mean the snow would start much sooner up here than anywhere in the lower forty-eight. Haven was so far north that a normal school year went from March to October.
William waited at the top of the driveway in the most awesome brand new red Lexus sports car. Through his dark tinted windows, I easily saw his sparkly white teeth and perfectly disheveled hair. He always looked like he’d just stepped out of GQ or something. His smile said he was just as happy to see me as I was to
