Things Have Changed For Me [SEQUEL TO FORM A MOUNTAIN]

Ch. 30

When I got home I unpacked my small bag and found mom in the garden. 

"Hi sweety, how was your weekend?"

"I ended up in the hospital with food poisoning from Disneyland" I told her. "But other than that it was fun"

"I'm glad"

"Oh, and Ryan invited us to his house for Thanksgiving"

"That sounds fun. You should make some of you famous cookies or a pie"

"I will" I smiled. 

I went up to my room and logged into my lap top. I already had a Skype request from him, so cute. I smoothed my hair down and amped up my cleavage a little before answering the call. 

"I miss you" were the first words out of his mouth. 

"I know, baby. My mom loves the thanksgiving plan"

"Good, because so does mine" he smiled. 

"I love your smile" I blurted. 

I buried my face in my hands and wondered why I said that, I just loved him so much. 

"Don't be embarrassed" he cooed "You're adorable"

"No I'm not, I have no control over my words"

"It's cute" he said "Just like you"

"You're so cheesy" I told him. 

"As long as I'm your cheese" he said. 

"You can spread your cheese on my cracker any time"

I buried my face again. When I looked up he was laughing at me. 

"Don't laugh at me!" I whined. 

"You're just so funny" he told me. 

"Yeah yeah. Listen I gotta do homework so I'll text you" I told him. 

"No, stay here. We can do homework together" he said. 

"You'll distract me" I whined. 

"I'll be quiet, promise" he said. 

"Okay"

I grabbed my textbooks and sat at my desk. I cracked open my trigonometry book and typed equations into my calculator while he conjugated verbs in Spanish. After a few hours we both finished. I yawned and he told me to get some sleep. 

"Nighty night" I told him before hanging up the Skype call and crawling under my blankets.
