Chapter 26

I'm sorry for not updating soon, I've been so on writers block with this and everything.

So enjoy this chapter :)



I open my eyes to the ringing of my alarm clock. Turning onto my right side, I slap the clock.

7:30

I don’t want to get up at all.
Sighing, I pick up myself from off the bed looking up at my TV.
I then walk over to the door, opening it.
I hear noise being made as I walk up to the front.

“Morning Aaylah,” LC says.

“Morning LC. How did you sleep?”

“Eh it sucked not waking up in Colby’s arms but, the bed was very comfortable,” LC says as she smiles at me as she sits at the table.

“I found a note from Colby this morning in my backpack,” LC says as she holds it out for me.

I read it while its in her hand.

“Hmm, he might be up to something,”

“I know but I’m wondering what. It’s going to kill me all day until I find out,”

“You’ll find out,”

“I sure hope so. Oh I made us some cocoa, since it’s cold outside. It’s in the black mug for you,”

Turning around, I pick up the mug from off the counter.

“Thank you, we will need this,”
LC just smiles at me.
She’s a great friend to me.

“Well we better get ready for school,” I say.

“Yeah I guess so,” LC says as a smirk comes on her face.

Shaking my head, I turn around heading for my room.
Walking in I close the door heading over to my closet.

Opening it, I pull off a pair of jeans and looking around for my purple sweater.

“Where is it?” I ask myself out loud.
It must be in the bag.

Closing the door, I cross the room over to my dresser. I place my mug down as I grab the handle opening the 3rd drawer pulling out a shirt with all the preschoolers on it.

Smiling, I close the drawer as I walk over to my bed.
Then I place the clothes on the bed as I begin to strip and change into the jeans and shirt.

After I change , I walk into my bathroom and pick up my blue brush to being to brush my hair.
Smiling in the mirror, I put my hair up, well on half of it was going up.
Placing the brush down, I turn around walking out of the bathroom.
I then walk to the far side of my room, to open the door of my second closet.

Looking, I pick up a pair of white clog shoes and close the door, placing the shoes onto my feet.
Turning around, I grab my mug off of my old wooden dresser.
Having the mug in my hand, I head to the door.
Opening it, I head back up front.

“Ready to go?” I ask as I walk passes her to my landury room doors.
I open the doors to see my bag there.
I unzip it as I see a note.

“Hey,” I say.

“What?” LC asks as I open the note.
It was from Sidney.

“It’s a note from Sid, it looks a lot like the one you got from Colby,”

“Those boys are up to something,” LC says as I grab my sweater putting it on.

“I know they are,” I say closing the doors as I grab my backpack from the counter.

I place it on my shoulders as LC has hers on.

Smiling, walk infront of her to the door.

I open the door, locking it as we walk out.
We then head down the stairs to the parking lot.

Walking on the sidewalk, I walk off heading to my side of the car.

Taking out my keys, I place them into to unlock my car.

“It’s unlocked,” I say, quickly opening the door to get in.

Closing the door, I place my key in and began the car up.
I place my mug in the cup holder as I turn on the heat.

“Ready for a fun filled day?” I ask as I throw my bag onto the back seat.

“Oh yeah,” LC says as I place the car in reverse backing out of the parking place.

Quickly I turn it into drive, turning the wheel as I head to the enterence of my apartment complex

“Is there a lot of turning to go to the school?” LC asks.

“No it’s mainly just a straight road,” I say as I turn left and head for the highway that is down the road.

“Good cause I think I would have been sick,” LC says, laughing.

We both should be sick of all the turns from yesterday.

I stop at a stop sign, that would lead me to the highway.
Flicking on my blinker, I turn left heading down on a ramp to the highway.
I merge to the middle lane.

“Want to listen to some music?” I ask.

“Sure,” LC says as I move to turn on the radio.

“Top 40 ok?” I ask.

“Yeah it’s fine,”


About 20 minutes later, I turn onto the road that the campus is on.

“We’re almost there,” I say looking out onto the traffic.

I then flip on my right blinker, slowing down as I pull into the school.
Then turning the wheel again, I drive into the front parking lot.

I then turn my wheel parking into a “early bird” spot.

“Ready?” I ask, taking my keys out and placing them into my pocket.
I open the door, grabbing my mug with cocoa in it.

“Yeah I guess so,” LC says as I watch her grabbing her bag.

Placing my feet on the ground, I stand up from the car shutting the door behind me.

Walking to my back door, I open it to grab my backpack.
Placing it on my shoulders, I close the door.

I look up as I head over to LC.

“Well I’ll see you after school,” I say as we head across the road to the school building.

“Ok have fun,” LC says.

“You too. We’ll meter up after school by the car,”

“Ok, see you later,”

LC heads down for her labs as I walk straight into the main building.

Walking in, I see thousands of people around.
Im not very social in school, so I turn to my right as I head up the stairs to my first period, English class.
The teacher for this class is like my favorite one, Ms.Samson.

Walking up the final steponto the second level I turn my first right down the hallway.
All on the walls were projects.

I then turn into the last classroom as I see a few of my classmates already there.

"Morning Aaylah," Ms.Samson says as I walk up and sit at my desk.

"Morning," I say as I place my mug on the table, taking off my backpack. I place it on the floor as I bend over unzipping it to receive my english binder.

Sitting back up, I place it onto my desk.

"Here is what you missed Aaylah," Ms.Samson says as she hands me alot of papers and books.

"When are they due?" I ask.

"Next Thrusday, do you need more time?"

"Yes,"

"Then how about two weeks, sounds good?"

"Thats fine,"

"Good,"
She walks off as I open my binder placing the papers into the pouch.
I look around as a new girl sits beside me.

"Hi, I'm Aaylah," I say.

"Hi, I'm Nicole," she says.

"Well welcome to CCAC, your going to love it here. What are you majoring in?" I ask.

"I'm majoring in Early Childhood Development," she says.

"I am too but, I only go on Tuesdays. Have you met Ms. Jackson?"

"Yes she is so sweet,"

"You'll love her once you get to know here,"

"What year are you in Aaylah?"

"My thrid year,"

"Ah ok,"

"So are you from here?"

"No, I just moved here to be with my brother, Ryan,"

"Oh ok, where are you from orginally?"

"Boston, I can't believe you couldn't tell,"
I laugh.

"I can't tell at all,"

"Where are you from?"

"Right here in Pittsburgh,"

"Ah ok, do you know your way around here,"

Yep,"

"Ok class, shh we need to begin class," Ms.Samson says.
I smile as I face the front of the classroom.



About and hour and a half later, the bell rang to switch classes.
I pick up all my papers, as I open my binder, placing them in the side pouch.
Then I stand up picking up my backpack and binder.

"So what's your next class?" I ask as I walk beside Nichole out of the classroom.

"Alegbra 3 with Mr.Smith," Nicole says.

"He is a nice teacher, you'll like him,"

"Can you help me find his room?"

"Sure I'm heading that ways as well,"

"Thanks,"

"No problem,"

"So what do you do around here for fun?"

"Here at school or Pittsburgh?" I ask as we stop at the elevatior.
I hit the button.

"In Pittsburgh. My brother is a hockey player and traveling alot, so I don't wanna be stuck at home," she says as we walk into the elevatior.

"Your brother is Whit?"

"Yeah that's him," she says smiling.

"Well you can hang out with me and a few friends whenever you feel bored or something,"

"i'll like that,"

"I'm sure they will love you,"
She smiles.
Then the elevtor opens as we walk out.

"Do you have a cell phone?" I ask.

"Yeah," she says

“ Can I see it, so I can place my number in it. So you can call me anytime,” I say.
She smiles as she dug out her phone from out of her purse.

Handing it to me, I open it up to see and pic of her and Whit being funny.

“Nice picture,” I say as I click on buttons.

“Thanks,”
I place my number in, closing the phone as I pass it back over to her.

“It’s under Aaylah T,” I say.

“Thank you so much for today,” Nicole says.

“No problem, we’ll see each other again,”

“So which way do I go?”

“Turn left from here, go down the second hall on your right, and it’s the second room on your left,” I say.

“Thank you. Bye Aaylah,”

“Bye Nicole. Have a good day,”
I wave as I turn to the right heading to my next classroom.


4 hours and 25 minutes of classes later, I walk out of my zoology class and head for the elevator.

Walking down the hall, I arrive to the elevator as I hit the button.
As it opens, I see Nicole.

“Hey,.” I say as I walk in.

“Hey,” Nicole says as I hit the L button.

“How has your day been?”

“Good,” I love all my classes, expectally Mr.Smith,”

“See I told you he is nice,”

“Yeah, your leaving for the day?”

“Yes I’m done for today,” I say as the doors open as we both walk out.

“That’s awesome, I still got an hour left,”

“You’ll make it through,”

“Yeah, well when can I call?”

“Anytime, I don’t care what time it is,” I say.

“Ok, I’ll let you go. Call you later,”

“Bye Nicole,” I say as she heads for the office and I walk out the front door.

Looking both ways, I cross the street.

“There she is,” LC says as I walk to the drive side door of my car.
I smile.

“Yep, I walk talking to a new girl,” I say as I open the door.
I climb into the car.

“New girl? Who?” LC asks.

“Her name is Nicole and she just moved here from Boston to be with her brother, who by the way is Ryan Whitney,”

“No way. I didn’t even knew he has a sister,”

“He does. I gave her my cell number and she might be hanging out with us,”

“Cool, can’t wait to meet her. Well Colby texted me earlier,”
I place my key into the key hole as I began up the car.

“What did he say?" I ask as I place on my safety belt.

"That he has a speacial surprise for me, and he wont tell me what,"
As I look back to pull out. my cell phone began to viburate.
Pulling fully out of my parking place, I put the car in drive as I drive out of the parking lot onto the road.
As a red light came, I lift up taking my cell from out of my pocket.
It was a text from Sidney.

"I have a wonderful surpise for you tonight, Lee. Talk to you before the game. Sid"
I hit reply as I look up at the traffic light.
I type in" What is it?"

As I close the phone I turn to head out onto the highway home.

"Who was that from?"LC asks.

"Sid, I asked him what it was,"Isay.

"I did the same with Colby,"

I begin to luagh as we did the samething.

"So when we get home, would you like a driving lesson?" I ask.

"What about grocerys?"LC asks.

"Well do that after and before the game,"

"Ok, are we taking your car?"

"Yes, I want you to get used to the car and everything,"

"Ok, that sounds good,"

about 20 minutes passed as we began to sing to the radio, as the news broke about the Penguins

"shh let me hear this, its penguin news."

"New Jersey Hosts Pittsburgh Penguins, tonight. Free viewing for everyone who wants to see it , can show up to Mellon Arena at 7pm."

"Haha we can watch it for free right in our own home." LC says as we started cracking up hysterically.

"Yeah, you got that right." I say to LC as she begin to laugh even harder.

"Here come the twists!" LC said as I see her holding onto the door.

We then pull up into the parking lot as I park my car in a parking place, and I turn off the engine as we both hop out of the car.
