Chapter Thirteen : A Week to Remember

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Then goodnight, Anita. I like you."

I can't keep myself from laughing, "What?"

"You heard me."

"I did, but why did you say that so randomly?"

"It's not random, it's like how people say they love each other but you know, it's like instead of love."

I smile widely, "Goodnight, then, Dylan. I like you too."

It feels pretty relaxing to be at school in my pajamas. I had decided on a simple pair of pink pajama pants, a black LOVE PINK hoodie and some really comfortable black Uggs.

"You look like such a typical white girl today," Adrian says to me halfway through second period.

"Ha ha," I laugh sarcastically. "I just wanted to take advantage of this day and be extra comfortable."

"I just wanted to give you a hard time," he laughs. "I totally understand. Pajama day is one of the finer things in life."

"I would have to agree."

"You excited for your big debut as a cheerleader Friday?"

"Er, yeah. A little nervous but mostly excited," I tell him honestly.

"Ah, don't be nervous. You'll be fine! I only hear great things about you from my girlfriend."

I laugh, "She is my bestie!"

Adrian pulls a face, "That's such a weird word. She uses it too. Must be a girl thing."

"Let's stick with that."

"You look awfully comfy today," Dylan says in third period as we work together on some reading comprehension questions.

"I am! You look comfy, too."

"Eh, I like my other pajama's better. The real ones."

I laugh, "Feel free to wear them to my house next time."

"Don't flirt with me in public."

"Aw, don't pretend you don't like it."

"I can pretend all I want."

"As long as we both know you're just pretending."

He chuckles lowly, "Okay I need to concentrate on this now."

"Right, back to work."

"Wait," he says suddenly.

"I thought we were working now..."

"I know, just one thing. You can't come over today for our movie night. I got called into work, sorry."

"Aw, man! Don't worry about it though, I'll find something else to do."

"Just don't have too much fun without me."

In the hallways after English, I see that many people actually participate in Spirit Week - at least today, so far. This comes as a bit of a surprise to me because back at my school in Washington, not very many people ever took part in it which made me a little sad. Here, though, everyone seems to be into it which makes me happy to be a part of this school.

After the bell rings for the school day to be over, I race home where thankfully I am all alone. I watch a few episodes of some reality shows before doing my surprisingly easy Chemistry homework. My parents arrive home around seven, and dad brings teriyaki for dinner. The three of us eat in the kitchen where I tell them about the upcoming assembly.
