hope good things.

“Oh yeah I see. You know you look a lot cuter than what my man described. I’m Shaynen, Shaynen Kennel.” The friend said holding my right hand and kissing it lightly.

Is this guy for real? Oh who cares, I didn’t think it was possible but he’s even hotter than D. Looks like Santa thought I was a very good girl this year. Oh no! I shouldn’t be thinking these naughty thoughts. Snap out of it Amethyst.

“Thank you!” I couldn’t help but blush he was acting like he’s a prince or something.

“My name is Zane.”

Oh snap! I completely forgot Zane was even here. This is the power of a pretty face.

“Nice to meet you Zane.” Shaynen said introducing himself again. And Zane smiled childishly.

Shaynen nudged D in the arm. I don’t know what for; but maybe it was some secret bro-code thing.

“Well we have to go, more houses to look at before we make our final decision.” D pointed out.

“Ok it was nice seeing you again.” I said shyly.

They waved goodbye to me and hand-slapped Zane goodbye.

“Are those your friends?” Zane asked me.

“Um more like acquaintances. You see we’ve only - ”

“Hey Amethyst!” D walked back in addressing me.

“I’m sorry I was too nervous to ask you before but I was wondering if I could get our number. Now that we’ll be living in the same city; I figured I could hit you up sometime and we could go out….or something.”

If I were a cartoon character my eyes would be filled with hearts and my real heart would be thumping right out of my chest with sparkles in the background illuminating my excitement.

“Sure. I was wondering how long it would take for you to ask me.” Yes, another cute and witty comment, 3 points baby!

He recorded my number in his cellphone and the expression on his face was just as thrilled as mine.

“So I’ll call you.”

I just smiled.

“Yeah.”

He started to walk towards the door again but just as he opened it he turned back around and asked me if I wanted to go to this club tonight. And of course I said yes.

I sat at the table smiling amuck thinking about how coincidental and cool that whole situation was. I’ve never had a problem getting guys to talk to me before, but these guys were ridiculously gorgeous. Almost too good to be true. But who cares, too good is hardly ever a bad thing.

“Do you like him Amethyst?”

I was daydreaming for a minute but Zane’s question snapped me out of it.

“Uh I don’t know. It’s too early to tell. Why do you ask?”

“Because you’re letting your ice cream melt and you’re acting like the teenagers in the foster home when they like somebody.”

“Oh!” I blushed a little. “I don’t know Zane……we’ll see.”

A few seconds later I received a text message saying Hi this is Damian. Save my number.

Wow. Damian? Cute.

After Zane and I finished our ice cream we walked to my house so I could get him my charger. He was so amazed at how huge my house was; although I don’t really think it’s that big. It’s just an average middle class family house of 5…..I mean 4. No matter how many years past I’m still not use to saying that.

I didn’t get why he was amazed, he’s already been here even though it was only my room. We had to crawl out the window last time he was here because I didn’t want to risk explaining who Zane was to my family.

My brother was home with his friends and curious Zane didn’t stay hidden in my room like I told him too. He had a little run-in with Onyx’s buddies. Onyx’s friends are the goody two-shoe type but then again they are pre-teens so they teased Zane a little bit because he was carrying his liger bag on his back. But fortunately for me I didn’t have to break up a fight or anything because like I said Zane’s friends are goody goody……and a bit nerdy too. But Zane didn’t seem to realize that they were teasing him because he didn’t get their sarcasm.

I broke it up and told his friends to go away and once again Onyx made a snarky remark towards me then he and his friends went outside to play ball. After that Zane and I walked to the park to spend some time together. I told him I’ll let him ride my bike, but my real motive was to bring up my concerns again. Since we already had our touching moment at the ice cream shop. But every time I brought it up he just blurted out something irrelevant. He kept going on and on about how much fun he was having with me. He rode my bike, played on the slide, crawled on and across the monkey bars, spun on the carousel circle, made me ride the teeter-totter with him; he even stood up on the tire swing swinging like a little monkey.

Once again I decided not to bring up about my questions. This time because Zane was having so much fun. I mean, I’ve been 10 before, and it wasn’t that long ago for my sister and brother but I swear Zane was the most childlike and playful 10 year old I’ve ever seen in my life. He looked overzealous and so enthused, it was like he’s never even been to a park before or seen toys; but of course I knew that can’t be true.

After Zane and I’s park excursion I dropped him off back home. And I have to say even though I didn’t get any of my questions answered, I’m still glad I went with him. It was fun seeing him so happy. I don’t know why but I have a feeling that Zane has a past. And yeah I know everyone has a past but, I feel in Zane’s, there’s a lot of hurt and anguish.

When I took Zane home I had made it way before his 6:00 curfew. Thank goodness though, because I was scared if I didn’t Mrs. Gardner would hunt me down and terrorize me. All I could picture was this 200lb woman charging at me in the middle of the street. Haha it actually looks kind of funny in my head, like in a comedy or something.

We said our goodbyes and I was off too Melinda’s house to say my goodbyes to her before she left. She and CJ Detweiler are going away on vacation for two weeks. They’re going to California. I’ve been teasing them that their really just going to get eloped and start a family but they swear it’s just a vacation for them two to get away from the craziness, that is their families.

Hearing that it’s not too hold to believe. See Melinda’s family is consisted of just her and her mom. Her dad left when she was 5, on her first day of kindergarten to be exact. He took her to school, kissed her on her forehead, said I love you, hugged her and just never came back.

It took Melinda forever to realized that her daddy was never coming back, almost a year. Her mom tried to tell her a million times but she just never got it until one day her mom snapped and yelled at Melinda to stop asking about him. Ever since that day Melinda and her mom has never been the same. She could never keep a job, and became a very grouchy woman. There was this one day when she got addicted to her prescription pills when Melinda was 8. She almost lost her daughter that day because she and Melinda were trapped in the house when it caught on fire. She had overdosed and was completely knocked out but luckily my mom, Reenee’s mom and CJ Detweiler mom all ban together to convince the judge that this was a one-time thing and it’ll never happen again. It never did, that was the first and last day she ever over dosed.

How they were able to keep the house was actually because of Melinda’s dad. He left some money. He had an account set up for them but it was just enough money to cover only household bills for about five years. Melinda’s mom never used it until the day of the fire. She used it to help repair the damages. But it didn’t matter because just a year later they had use up the last of the money. They became pretty much broke since her mom hadn’t had a consistent job. Plus their savings were all used up too. So Melinda had to help by doing lots of babysitting jobs, tutoring jobs, odd jobs, raking, shoveling snow, watching rich people’s house when they went away on vacation, and pretty much everything. Which is why she became so smart, she always had to work extra hard to get what she wanted.

And CJ Detweiler’s family was just as messed up, sort of. His parents were kind of the snooty rich type. He was pretty wealthy; not millionaires type wealthy but had enough to buy a personal jet type wealthy. They’ve always liked us, CJ Detweiler’s best friends but it wasn’t until he started dating Melinda that they became so judgmental. They said she had too many problems and they had always secretly hoped that once he’d graduated from high school he’d grow out of her.

It’s not that they don’t like Melinda and her mother it’s just that they were being so pressure and judged by their rich friends that they started to question CJ Detweiler’s judgment. Once his parents saw them two at graduation they finally gave him their officially approval to be with Melinda even though they were dating anyways. When they saw how much Melinda had accomplished on her own they knew that no girl from a prominent family could be as wonderful as her even if they tried. Melinda’s mom use to judge CJ Detweiler’s family too, saying he only pity’s her, but deep down Melinda’s mom always loved him too like he was already part of their family.

I get to Melinda’s house and Reenee and CJ Detweiler’s are already here. And are slacking off instead of helping Melinda pack.

“Hey guys! Shouldn’t you all be packing and not cruising. You bunch of lazies.”

“Amethyst!” Melinda gave me the hugest hug I’ve ever gotten from her.

“Oh I’m going to miss you so much.” She added.

“Me too. Why do you have to go without us? Reenee and I promise to stay out of your hair, when you and CJ Detweiler get you know…..all snuggly.” I said teasingly.

“Whatever. I want you guys too but we need this. Some time to just be together. No pressure, no family, no problems, no stress just us working on being together.”

“Yeah because god only knows you two deserve it.” I said.

“Er hem.”

“What?” I asked Reenee.

“Don’t I get a hug? Or is Melinda the only woman in your life.”

“Hahaha Reenee.” I jumped on the coach landing on top of her hugging and kissing her all over. She pushed me off and said we needed to take a break from our relationship because I was smothering her…..literally.

About an hour in a half went by until we were done packing Melinda’s things into CJ Detweiler car. We said our see ya later’s then Reenee and
