Basket Case, chapter 6
El's POV:
Jimie and I walked back out with the drinks. We had 4 beers and 2 Pepsi-Colas. We handed the two Pepsi-Colas two Mike and Hallie. Then gave Billie and Tre each a beer and kept the last two for ourselves. The house was still a mess. Hallie had tried to clean up but got frustrated and ended up throwing the trash bag in her hand at the wall.
"I think we should have a toast." Jimie said jumping up on what was left of the couch.
"For what? Your house is trashed." Billie asked.
"The house may be trashed and broken," Jimie explained," but our friendships are closer together. Nothing can break us a part!" And with that she jumped down and toasted everyone. I think she finally realized that she couldn't have stopped this by happening. That's what I was trying to get through.
Normal POV:
I was still really angry at the person who did this. I don't like to cry in front of people and I think I did enough crying to last a last awhile.
"Why don't we go to the beach?" El asked.
"Yeah, then go to Guitar World." I replied," I want to see how much Mr. Kheul would charge me for a new guitar."
"Yay! The beach sounds like fun!" yelled Tre sounding like his old self again. He ran over and picked me up and carried me upstairs to my room.
"Hurry!" He yelled.
"What do you mean, 'hurry'?" I asked.
"I mean hurry up and change." He replied excitedly.
"Ok but no peeking.." I said as I moved stuff around to find my bathing suit.
"Awww. You're no fun." He said and he turned and walked away.
"Fine! Be that way!" I yelled after him giggling a bit. After I said that his head popped back in and said," Well I wasn't but maybe now I will!" and he laughed then tackled me to the ground. I struggled but he was stronger and he sat on my arms pinning me down. Then he did something I'd never really expect: He kissed me. Not a playful kiss but a full fledged, passionate kiss.
"What was that for?" I asked him quietly.
"For being the prettiest girl in the world." He replied lovingly, then he kissed me again.
"Awwwww." We heard from the door way. Tre got off me quickly and we looked toward the door. El and Billie were standing there and had seen the whole thing.
"That was touching, Tre." Billie said coming in and patting the now bright red Tre on the back," I didn't know you could be so serious."
"That was sweet!" El yelled," Are you guys going out now?"
"No!" yelled Tre. I gave him a look that said "then why did you kiss me?" and he changed his mind," Not yet." Then he turned to me and asked," Jimie? Would you go out with me?"
I looked at him then at Billie then at El then back at him. I didn't know what to say. I mean we'd only known each other for a day and...
"Uh... Well..." Ok I can choose." Uh..." No! This is too fast for me. I can't," Well..."
