11:55

A Chapter by Keirsten

"Lacie! Wake up! It's time for breakfast!" my mom yelled through the door. I opened my eyes and checked the time, 10:05 am. Wow that was a weird dream I thought. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. I can't tell Justin, no way! But, what if he does like me? What would I do? Do I like him? "Lacie! Get up right now!" my mom yelled. "I'm up mom. I'll be down stairs in a few minutes," I replied. "OK, hurry honey," she said back.
 

I pushed my covers off of me and went into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and hair, then put my hair up into a pony tail quickly. I put my surfing bathing suit into my swimming bag along with an extra pair of shorts and a shirt just in case my original clothes got wet. I headed downstairs to the kitchen in my pajamas. On my way I put my surfboard into the game room. I walked into the kitchen and sat down in the chair.
 

The kitchen was a soothing yellow with white tile floors. Our wooden dinning table was fit for eight people because we normally had family or friends over a lot. We have a silver refrigerator which is in the left corner of the room. Our kitchen was pretty big. We have pictures of the family on the walls along with different kinds of paintings done be my grandmother who passed away, Grandma Madge. I miss her so much.
 

"Hey mom, do you know what dinner that you haven't made in a long while?" I asked. "What is that?" she replied. "Chicken Parmesan. I miss that!" I said with enthusiasm. " Oh that's a really good suggestion Lace. I think I'll make that for dinner tonight." she said happily. I was very pleased and then I ate my eggs, bacon, and toast. My mom is a chef. She loves her job, but at home she likes to cook the basics.
Kelsey loves having lunch and dinner at my house because of my mom's cooking. Sometimes I wonder if Kelsey is my best friend or my mom's. I giggled at the thought. After I was done eating I ran up to my room to get dressed. I put on a light green shirt and jean shorts with my green, white, and black DC shoes. I put some water proof make-up on and fixed my hair so that it wasn't so messy. I braided my hair into two pigtails that hung over my shoulders. I checked the time and it was 11:15. Forty-five more minutes until lunch.
 

Maybe Kelsey and Justin might want to go to Arby's for lunch. So I decided to call Kelsey first to ask her. The phone rang three times and picked up. "Hello?" she said. "Hey Kels it's Lacie. Do you want to go out to lunch. I'm thinking Arby's" we both laughed because of the commercial. "Sorry Lacie I can't. I'm catching lunch with my mom. I thought that we were going surfing after lunch." she said. 'yeah we are, but it was just a thought. It's OK, I'll meet you at the beach around one." I said. "OK see ya!" and we hung up.
For some reason I was really nervous to call Justin and ask him, but I gathered all of my courage and dialed the numbers slowly. I tensed up as the phone rang and wanted to hang up. "Hey Lace what's going on?" I froze for a few seconds and them snapped back into reality. "Uh, um, nothing really. I-I just wanted to know if you wanted to go out to lunch b-before we go surfing." I stuttered. "Yeah, that sounds cool. Are you okay Lace?" he asked curiously. "Uh, y-yeah. I'm fine." I said nervously. "Okay, so I'll come by at twelve and I'll drive us to Arby's." he said. Wow he knows me well. "Yeah, sounds great. I'll see you then. Bye." and we hung up. It was now 11:35.
 

I went downstairs in a rush and Keith said " Hey! What's the rush? Do you have a hot date or something?" he said sarcastically. " Yeah, kinda." I said surprised at my self. I paused and thought did I seriously just say that? I'm going crazy. I found my earrings on the counter so I put them in. I sat on the couch in the living room and turned Grey's Anatomy on. It's my favorite show. It's 11:55 and I'm really nervous and anxious but, why? Justin and I have had lunch together so many times. Is it because of the dream? Oh no, I think that I actually have a crush on Justin! Then the doorbell rang.
