Little Oakland, chapter 4
When I woke up, I looked out the window. It was real pretty out. The sun was just rising so it was this blueish-gray color. I walked to the shower and hopped in. Well I really didnt hop, I just kinda stepped in, but you know what I mean. I washed my stupid blond hair. I hate my hair. I wish it was brown but I was stuck with it. When I got out, I combed my hair, brushed my teeth and did all that other morning junk. I pulled on my blue and orange vans and walked out the door.
When I got out to the bus stop, Justin was already there tieing his tie. He saw me and smiled. When he was done tying his tie, he looked up at me.
"So I was thinkin' bout askin Stella to come swimmin' with us. We could go through the woods behind your house and like meet at her bus stop. Cool?" My stomach did a backflip when he said that. I mean really. Stella in a swimsuit? Jesus.
I couldn't say anything.
"Uhh ummm well I-I umm." I coughed a couple of times. Justin stared at me like I was a 3 eared easter bunny smoking crack. He rolled his eyes.
"Well I'm asking her when we get on the bus," he said. I sighed. He started talking to me but I was thinking of one thing. Stella.
When the bus came, Justin got on before me and sat towards the back. I sat one seat ahead of him. When Stella got on, she sat next to me! I thought she would have sat next to Justin.
"Hey Stella," Justin started. "Me and Trevor are goin swimming and want to know if you want to come?" She looked at me and nodded.
"Yeah. Sure I'll go." I was nervous but excited too.
**At School**
I walked into homeroom and sat next to Stella.
"Hey,do you have the sheet music for Aztec Sunrise?" she asked. I looked at her for a minute. God she was pretty.
"Uhh no not with me but we don't need it for today we're sposed to just work on Eye of The Tiger," I replied.
She smiled. "Okay." I loved her smile. I really always have. I don't know why I never talked to her before. I've known her for like 6 years now. Or gone to school with her at least.
In Social Studies, we had to do this interview thing. What interviewing has to do with social studies, I don't know but okay. "I will let you pick your own partners. You will ask the questions on the worksheet I'm handing you. Then for homework, you are to write a paragraph about the person using the answers you got," Mrs. Price said. I looked at Stella. She nodded answering the question I was about to ask. I asked the questions first.
"What's your full name?"
"Estelle Desiree Prithchard."
"Thats pretty."
"Thank you."
"Are your parents married?"
"No but they are like best friends."
"When is your birhtday?''
"April 16th."
"Do you have any pets?''
"Yes. A dog named Cappicino."
"Cappicino?''
"My dad named him."
"Oh. What's your favorite color?''
"Purple and blue."
"What's your favorite sport?''
"Umm either volleyball or soccer."
"Last one. Favorite food?"
"Pizza."
"Cool."
She interviewed me and then class was over. We were talking in the hall as we walked to english class. I really couldn't picture myself writing a paper about Stella. We found two seats and sat down.
**At lunch**
Justin was talking to Stella when I got out of the lunch line.
"No wayy."
"Yeah I'm serious."
"Cool"
I did'nt even want to know what they were talking about. I took a bite of my hamburger and moved the hair out of my face.
"So Stella, you want us just to meet you at your bustop?'' Justin asked. I took a sip of my chocolate milk and looked over at her.
"Umm yeah sure that would be cool," she said. During lunch we talked about random junk.
**After lunch,in band"
In band all we did was written work so it was pretty boring but the cool thing was we did'nt have to sit in our sections so i was sitting by Stella and Justin.
"No it's C," Justin said.
"No it's D,'' I said. Stella rolled her eyes at us.
"Y'all are both wrong. It's B flat." Oh I knew it wasn't C.
Anyway, we started talking about more interesting stuff later but the bell to go home rang. I started packing my stuff up in my bag but Stella and Justin went to their band lockers.
They haven't given us our hall lockers yet and we are supposed to get our P.E. lockers sometime next week. I walked into the insturment room and Stella didn't see me. I grinned and walked over to her. I jabbed her gently in her sides and she jumped and looked at me.
She started laughing that chipper laugh that I like so much. She playfully slapped me on the arm as we walked to the buses.
On the bus Stella and Justin were talking up a storm and I was really quiet. Mainly because I was going to be hanging out with Stella! I was really exicted about it. I can't wait till this afternoon!
