So I've gotten questions asking me who Cory Kennedy is and if it's a skater... don't be put off by the name...

If you google her you'd see,

But in my youtube link is a video of Cory Kennedy, some interview she had... she's actually a model.

haha

She even has a fraternal sister called Chris...

So really, even with a dude's name, she is in fact FEMALE

Chapter Eleven

            “So,” Jordan said, weaving his fingers through mine, “are you busy this Friday?”

            “Nope.  Why?”

            “Because I was thinking... maybe we could go on a date?” he suggested.

            “Just the two of us?”

            “Just the two of us,” he confirmed.

            I smiled.  “I’d like that.”

            “Mum!” I called out when I walked into the house.

            “In here sweetie,” called mum’s voice from the kitchen.

            I skipped into the room and sat on the kitchen counter.  “Jordan asked me on a date this Friday.  Can I go?”

            “Of course sweetie,” she said smiling.

            I grinned.  I was glad to see mum finally smiling.  Ever since Rick stormed out of the house she’s been nothing but sad.  He hadn’t returned since. 

            “I don’t know what I’ll wear though.  Will you help me?” I asked her.

            “Of course I will.”

            We smiled at each other and she got back to cooking.

            “Hello city girl.”

            I rolled my eyes, “Hello Oliver.”

            “What’s up with you lately?”

            “Not much, been pretty bored.  But I have a date with Jordan on Friday.”  I smiled at him like the Cheshire cat.

            “That’s great for you.”

            “Well what’s up with you lately?”

            “Same old same old... hey I have a seriously life threatening question to ask you.”

            I mocked a gasp.  “No way!  Like seriously seriously life threatening,” I said sarcastically.

            “Oh em gee, it’s like no way, oh my god, seriously life threatening,” Oliver played along.

            “Oh em gee!  No fricken way.  That is like, oh my god, like so serious!”

            “I know right?”

            I giggled and said, “So what’s the question?”

            He sighed, getting back to the serious matter.  “Well you know how my ex ran away when the army came to town?”
