Just Don't Ask Chapter 1 I stand eagerly at the doorway.

Just Don't Ask
Chapter 1

 

I stand eagerly at the doorway. Why the heck am I so nervous to meet my new neighbors? I look at my bike leaning against their gate, wow they must be loaded. I look at my phone. No new messages from Jess. Why does she even care if there is going to be someone new in our grade? We're in eighth grade, it's not like we are toddlers or something. I know she's always looking for new friends and stuff, but can't she wait for school to start on Monday? I mean it's in two days and I still have to pick out my outfit and find out my classes. I check the time.
6:18 PM
Crap! I have to be home by 6:30 for dinner. Finally the door opens and a nice woman opens with dark dirty blonde hair. There is a little girl who must be about two years old clinging to her leg.
"Hi. Are you looking for Ethan?" Apparently he's a boy.
"Yeah. My old teacher sent me some papers to give to him. Like class requirements and stuff. By the way, I'm Dana McCarthy; I live around the corner. But you can call me Dani."

"Thank you for being so hospitable. I know he's not too excited about moving here seeing as he will be repeating the eighth grade. But I'm sure you could introduce him to some people right? I don't want him getting mixed in with the wrong crowd. Oh let me go find him! Come inside and have a seat."
"Thank you but um I have to go. Maybe another t-"
"Nonsense! Sit down here. Ethan Burke! Get down this instant!" I look at my phone and see that it is already 6:29. I nervously pull at my white short shorts and fiddle with the back of my lavender halter top. 
"What is it Mom?" I hear a voice from upstairs yell.
"There's someone here I'd like you to meet. Now get down here and don't be rude to our company." 
Slowly a tall boy with long-but not weird long blonde hair comes down the stairs. He shakes his head slightly to get his bangs out of his face and looks at me with peircing blue eyes. "I'm Ethan but I guess she already made that odvious." He angrily looks at his mom.
"Oh yeah. I'm Dana. I just brought some stuff for you for school on Monday. They told me to drop it off 'cause I had to be there a bit early. I helped with orientation. Were you there? I can't remember."
"No uh, I had sports." He says with his head down.
"My Ethan is a national fencer!" He looks ready to kill her.
"My parents make me do it."
"No way! I'm like the only person in our school who does it. I don't tell people 'cause people make it sound pathetic. They don't get how it actually takes work." He smiles. 
"Hey maybe you could give me your number and we could practice together or something?" I nod and take out my phone. I read the number aloud to him as his mother walks away and we talk. Suddenly my phone vibrates.
"Crap! I mean- sorry I have to go. It's like past seven and I had to be home a while ago. It was awesome to meet you." I start to leave but he stands up.
"Maybe we could like hang out or something."
I flash him a smile. "Yeah maybe" and quickly run out the door.

"Dana! You're forty-five minutes late! What took you so long?" My mother yells.
"I'm sorry I just- I don't know okay?" I whimper. 
"Well you sure as hell better not do this again!" She kicks me in the stomach. "Now go get your siblings for dinner."
