Chapter 3:1

The next morning came way too fast; seriously. We didn’t fall asleep until well past 3:00 a.m. That, as you know, is the rule with all teenage girls’ slumber parities so what do you expect? 2

“Hey sleepy heads,” said Mr. Turner poking his head inside Teena’s bedroom. “It’s 11:30 already. When were you planning to get up?”3

“Oh man, is it really 11:30 already?” said Teena rolling over and squinting. “It doesn’t seem that way.”4

“I know.” Spike replied. “What time did we end up falling asleep?” 5

“Some time after 3,” I replied “must have been pretty late.” 6

“Sweet,” replied Spike. 7

“Well Teena, do you remember what I asked you to do if the girls were going to be allowed to stay over?” asked Mr. Turner.8

“Oh yeah, I have to clean the garage.” replied Teena.9

“We can help.” I said. 10

“Would you guys?” asked Teena.11

“Oh yeah, totally.” said spike. “Just give us a second to get dressed.”12

A little while later we were off to clean her garage. You have not seen anything until you’ve seen Teena’s garage. It’s full of everything from boxes of old pictures, clothes and weird experiments her brother Don and her dad used to mess around with when we were younger. “Wow this could take a while” I laughed.13

“Oh shush!” laughed Teena. “I really owe you guys for helping me with this.”14

“Yeah you do!” said Spike sarcastically. 15

So we started to clean for a while. Man I think I am going to get sick from all the dust in this place. I think I’ve moved like one hundred boxes! “Where do you want these bins?” I asked. 16

“Oh just put them on the curb please.” Teena replied.17

“Okay.” I said walking towards the garage door carrying four boxes piled on top of each other. 18

UH OH crap! Here comes Don and all his friends. AND I LOOK LIKE A MESS! What am I saying? I shouldn’t care. “Hi Don.”19

“Hey Kameel…You guys still here? And cleaning the garage for Teena I see too” he laughed, “That girl.”20

“We’re helping here, that’s all, you know because you can’t be bothered.” I laughed, “You know being all busy with your posse over there!”21

He smiled.22

This is a good sign. I’m sorry I know I shouldn’t be looking at Don in that way for two reasons. Mainly one: because I already have a boyfriend - although he’s not all that great, but never the less. And second he would never be interested in me. EVER! It’s like impossible. He’s all into Shirley Marble anyway.23

“Hey Teena is my BMX in there?” He called. 24

“YES!” she yelled back.25

“Can you grab it for me?” He asked.26

“Come get it yourself!” She called back. “I’m not your servant!”27

“Awe, come on!” He said slightly annoyed walking into the garage.28

Just then Spike walked out of the garage towards Kameel, “Kameel? Who’s Don’s friend with the cute eyes?” 29

I laughed and looked over. I immediately knew who she was looking at. “I think his name is Bart.” I replied, “Why don’t you go over and introduce yourself.”30

“I think I might.” She laughed and walked over to him. 31

Well she was smiling and so was he, so heck something good must have been going down. I had to laugh. 32

Man she’s as bad as me. She has a boyfriend too! I mused quietly. 33

“Hey Kameel?” called Don walking over with his BMX. “You said you guys were at the mall yesterday eh?” 34

“Dang right we were.” Teena piped in sticking her head between us. “We had so much fun!” 35

I smiled uneasily. 36

“Hmm…” he began.37

“Yeah we yelled at these really hot guys at the mall!” Spike added popping in as well. 38

NOOO!! Please don’t say that! Oh crap. You see at the mall yesterday we were having so much fun yelling at those guys. Until later I figured out who those guys were. It was Don, Bart, Aaron, and Tanner. I realized it was Don for one when I saw him with his blonde hair. And when he asked me if we were at the mall it didn’t click until I thought about it for a while. I’m kind of embarrassed. 39

“Sweet.” He said casually. “Hey can I have a word with Kameel alone please?”40

“Sure.” Spike and Teena said playfully. 41

“So you want me alone eh?” I laughed sarcastically. ‘42

“So us guys are worth a whistle or two eh?” he asked smiling.43

“You caught me.” I said, “Yeah we were the ones that yelled at you guys.”44

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” he asked. “I don’t know.” 45

“Oh.”46

“Maybe it’s because I’m not supposed to be doing that. I have a boyfriend you know.” I replied looking down at my toes.47

“Right, Chris.” He said. “Well never the less I don’t take back my whistle.”48

“What do you mean?”49

“Think about it Kameel.” He laughed running off.50

“Hey DON!!!” I yelled but he was already riding down the road with his friends. 51

Did Don just say I was hot?52
