My Best Friend

Chapter four:Friends

SHAY'S POV

So earlier on I got a call from Gideon, we going out tomorrow. I was arguing and stating my case for several minutes until we came to an agreement. I swear this boy will be a real good lawyer one day. Just like me Gideon's parents are not rich and wants only what's best for him....cool thing about them they not forcing him to do anything. The subjects he chose is all him ,they very supportive when it comes to him doing what is best for him because like he says they don't want him to regret the choices he made when he is older and didn't follow the dreams he had set out for himself. I wish my parents can be like that though. Gideon's parents ,with the little they have took him to go to the colleges he thinks he would like to attend and well he wants to be a lawyer no doubt he's going to go through with that ,so they looked at colleges who provide that. Gideon is one of the smartest kids I know ,he is one of those that will rise from all of this. What I love about my bestie is that no matter the circumstances he will take his family with him as he rise as an successful lawyer ,he always seem to try and turn all negativity into positivity that's just a few things I love about him.

Getting back to the call it went a little like this:

"Hey Shay its Gideon here". "O GEEZ I thought it was KINGKONG!"I half shouted and sounding sarcastic .Because I mean like oviaasly I can see your darn caller id sherlock lol. "HAHA very funny, good to hear you sound a little better than you did the whole week....""truth be told bestie I cant sulk forever I mean I'm speaking to King Kong holy jeepers who wouldn't sound happy or as you put it '"better"." "lol looks like someone took her "PICK ON GIDEON" tablets today, but it is good hearing laugh again, I missed it. But to get to the part where I wanted to ask you something where a certain someone interrupted me so rudely." "O I Shay Hoorn sincerely hope it is not me.?" "Well only that certain someone would know who they are."" in that case I'm so glad it is not me. "Saying it in my most annoyed tone .I am trying to get him angry but it is kind of hard getting him angry this week because they all taking it slow with me like I'm some kind of fragile baby. And it is starting to get under my skin. "SHAY!" lOl and there we go ."Yes Gideon?" lol I try to say it as soft as possible, the idea is that he hardly hear me so he can apologize and feel bad. Call me sick but this is one game I like to play with him because it's just fun easily he can get angry and annoyed.

"Sorry care bear, you know how I get when you don't take me seriously I apologize okay I know the drill, I will stick you to that milkshake I owe you, to make up for this whole me going on with you about nothing okay. I LOVE YOU weirdo.....FYI that's tomorrow I wanted to ask you but now I am telling you...I hope we understand each other?" I guess there is no point in fighting him on that I must just agree.....But wait I have no money, I don't get pocket money like the rest of my friends and asking mom and dad it just don't feel right they already struggling as is.... I am sitting here with my thinking face on and let me tell you its not something you want to see. My mom ones asked me 'HONEY?YOU NEED TO GO TO THE LOO?'.....So what I make of it is that is either I need to go wee or take a number two. I would go with the second one. Because when I asked her why she just said your face. So I just assumed that is what she meant.

But I am still thinking here... So what if I just say I cant or won't be able to make it, but I really want that milkshake and he knows that....

"HELLO! ANYBODY THERE?...... am I talking to myself here? Shay!" and he kept calling my name till I eventually snapped out of it. "Hey yes.. sorry..." "Where did you run off too leaving me hanging here? It is not attractive hey Shay..." I am mentally rolling my eyes. Like seriously and I quote ' it is not attractive'  lol are we a couple or something? "LOL... I am here and since when do I get options as to what I can and can not do? Or do I have a new daddy my mommy forgot to tell me about?" I knew just than and there I got underneath he's skin, was not my intention though I'm feeling super bad about it.. I think this time I took things too far. That is why as soon as I said it I apologized." Sorry babe I really did not mean it like that." " Don't worry about  it I know...I still love you, just come than we call it even." So by him saying that I had no choice..... I explained to him financially I don't know how I am going to pay for whatever we going to have.. and he said he got me covered It is set, I am going with my friends to wherever because clever me didn't even ask where we are going. I was just so happy Gideon and I are good I love my bestie too much. So we said our good byes as well as our goodnights and I guess I must just look forward to tomorrow .I had no clue Gideon and I were on the phone that long until I said good bye and he said lets rather say good night and for sure when I checked the clock on my desk it was a little over 18h00.

My parents must have fetch my brother because I can hear them talking in the kitchen. I can't believe we spoke so long, I mean it really did not feel that long. But time speak for it self. I  need to go help prepare dinner I would really love it if mom can order in...but then again there is no money for unnecessary things. Don't get me wrong we not poor or anything by all means I believe we the richest of rich with the loving family The Almighty has blessed us with. I just sometimes wish we had a little more money. One day I will take good care of my parents that is a promise

*******************************************************************************************

Dinner went well. Turns out I didn't have to cook after all. My mom thought we deserve something unhealthy to end this long week  like she said which I agree with. This week was a pain in the butt. Thank GOD  for the friends I have, must say I am a darn lucky Girl. Without them I don't think I would have made it through this week. Now it is time for my brain to switch off tomorrow is going to be a long day...... or not. Well I forgot to ask for details so I don't know what I am really in for this is just so unlike me ... I will just blame it on my love for my friends.

Lights off I hear my mom shout from her room. That's my queue...LALALAND here I come...xoxo
