chapter 7 1/2

When I woke up I was surrounded by my mother, holding Emily, Paige, and my sisters except for McKenzie who was sleeping. I was glad that my mom had fixed up our house otherwise I probably would have gotten really hurt. What really embarrassed me though is that my mom was holding the note I got and asking “is this why you fainted”. I just about fainted again! Paige giggled and managed to get out a little “yes”. Okay that would have been my third fainting. I was so embarrassed I grabbed the note and ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I took a LONG bubble bath and cried for sadness, anger, joy, and embarrassment. I later found out that Paige had texted me while watching me through my window and when she saw me faint she ran inside and told my mom. When I came out everyone was sitting at the table drinking Kool-Aid and eating chocolate chip cookies. I told everyone that they weren't to talk about this to anyone else for the rest of my life. After that Paige and I went to the movies. My mom told me to hurry because I still had homework and tomorrow was a school day. We went to a dumb kid story because there was nothing on. Then I saw Jake. I had to run to the girls room I just DIDN'T want to face him yet. When I got out there he was waiting for me with Paige. Oh I was going to kick her hiney for not sending him away!
“Hey Samantha what's up?” Jake asked.
“Uhm, hi nothing”
“So who'd have thought that you'd actually be here at the movies today stuck watching a lame kid show...huh?”
“Well I know Paige texted you and said we would be here.”
“Well okay she did but still, how was your Valentines day and birthday? Did your special someone ask you out.”
“Hmmmm. Well I'd rather not share my personal life with you right now.”
“So what do you say? Will you go out with me on Friday night. I already have the reservations and Paige is coming too. She is going to come on a double date with us. Her birthday is almost here so her parents said since it's so close she could come. She's going with Ryan.”
“Hmm I'll talk to my mom and I will let you know sometime tomorrow.”“Oh that's okay Sam, I've already asked your mom and you can come!” Paige butted in. That's one thing I hate about her is she can't keep her mouth to herself. “Well I guess I'll see you there! What time are we meeting?”
“Well our reservations are at 6 so maybe 5 so we can be there a little early and make it to the hill.”
“YOUR TAKING ME TO LAMBOURNES?” I screamed probably too loudly.
“Oh yeah I thought you knew, anyways I'll see you later. Glad we are officially going out I have been just counting down the days until you turned 16.” The rest of the week couldn't have gone slower. I was SO excited for our double date. Most of the week was spent at malls trying to figure out what to wear. Paige took me and paid for it which was so very nice of her. On Friday I checked out and started getting ready at 12. I started by taking a shower. Then when I got out I carefully put each hair into a curler. Then I blow dried it and pulled it up into a messy half bun. Then I carefully put on my lavender dress I had picked. Then I put on my make up and sprayed sparkles in my hair and lightly on my face. Then I used some of my mom's perfume she said I could borrow, put on my silver shoes, and got ready for my first date. At exactly 5 Jake, Ryan, and Paige came by and got me and we were on our way to Lambournes.
