A Freshman and A Senior...Love? Chapter 22

The next morning was Thanksgiving and I could hear my mom down stairs cooking already.

My plan was to stay out of the house as much as possible.

I texted Travis and asked him if he wanted to hang out, he said yes.

I quickly got ready and left the house.

Travis picked me up in his car.

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere to get food," I said smiling.

"You go it," Travis smiled.

After breakfast we went to the mall then the movies.

After a very busy day Travis dropped me back home.

"Alex" my mom called as soon as I walked in.

"Yes?"

"We're going over to the Johnson's house for Thanksgiving,"

"What? Why?"

"Because, they want to spend it with us,"

"So?"

"Alexandra," my mom said sternly.

"Alex, listen to your mother," my dad said.

"No, I'm not going! I'm not going! I'm not going!"

"I cant believe I'm going," I said as I crossed the street with food in my hands.

My mom brought over some of our food for the dinner.

I set the food on the table and joined the others in the living room.

Shortly after we had dinner, which went better than I thought.

"So, Sandy, do you want to do this again?" my mom asked.

"Yes, Christmas, we'll come over," Sandy smiled.

"Sounds like a plan," my mom said.

The next morning I woke up and went for a quick run.

I needed to get Finn back, he did after all steal my art work.

On my run I thought about what I could do, then it hit me.

Finn told me the one thing he loves other than himself.

A basketball signed by the whole Lakers team.

He's a huge Lakers fan.

I smiled. How was I going to get into Finn's room is the hard part.

I thought about this as I head to the Johnson's house.

I knocked on the door and waited.

Kelly answered it and smiled at me. "What's up?"

"Nothing, is anyone home?"

"No, just me why?"

"I need something from Finn's room,"

"What?"

"A basketball," I smiled.

"Okay," she said letting me in.

I hurried to Finn's room and instantly started my search.

Once I found it, hitting by his bed in a case, I grabbed it and left the house.

I headed over to my house and put the ball under my bed.

Now all I do is wait.

I was on my balcony painting a picture of a sunset over a lake.
