McKenna puffed up to Linda. "Wow. I'm. Like. So Puffed." Linda kept up her pace but started talking. "I, you know, don't want to be clumsy in front of him you know? Like, when I'm in love, like got a crush, I'd rather avoid him, and just stay away. It's just how I roll." "A-maz-zing. Not! What if he had something important to say. Like 'Hey Ya Linda, so, I broke up with Brontę and, umm, you wanna go out?' what if hat was the exact scene that was just to play out down there?" McKenna stamped her foot and held Linda's arm till their eyes met. She was fed up with Linda's lame excuses. "Miss, if you keep walking, I'll start to do all the talking, bout things like BOYS. Trust me, it'll bore you to tears and still you wouldn't listen. So I'm like, gonna let ya walk, and not talk. Just…" McKenna sighed and broke their gaze. "Just please, give him a chance!" McKenna through her arms up in the air, swiveled on her heel and trudged in the other direction. It started to rain, but she didn't care. McKenna had to get away from boys, and girls, and all that load of rubbish. Just get away. Something tapped her shoulder. She turned her head and saw Tyler. "What was all that about?" he asked, face creased with worry, "I saw you, and Linda, storm off!" McKenna tried to fake a smile but knew he wasn't going to be fooled. "Oh, nothing. Just practicing some acting." Then McKenna turned so her whole body faced him, her best friends crush and sighed. "I better get back, well, see you tomorrow at school. Are you going to prom?" McKenna unexpectedly asked Tyler. "I hope. Where does Linda live?" But McKenna had already gone…
She, McKenna, forgot about the rain, forgot about the squelchy mud and powered on to Linda. The last thing Tyler had said to her being 'I Hope' still ringing in her ears. McKenna didn't look back, knowing she'll just see Tyler, just standing there, McKenna just couldn't stand the sight. So finally McKenna was walking beside Linda to spill the beans when she couldn't even start. Tyler had come bounding up and firmly placed his hand on Linda shoulder. And he looked like he wouldn't let go until she turned to face him. "What is it Tyler?" Linda said with an edge of sharpness. Tyler backed away, "Geez, didn't know you were so rude!" He threw his hands up in the air. Linda recognized instantly what she'd done, done to her crush. Linda went bright red, "Oh, I'm sorry Tyler, are you okay?" she sincerely asked. "Yeah, now I am. Hey are you going to the Prom? The year nine formal?" Linda made a quick gasp 'OhMyGosh! Is he asking me out?' she breathed under her breath to McKenna. "Umm… I'm not sure. No ones asked me out to it. I may go single if I want to." Linda realized she was holding her breath. "Well, can you come? Brontę is on the committee and said the design was great. Like, the food an drinks and just EVERYTHING is amazing. Hey McKenna are you going?" McKenna looked flustered. She felt flustered. She was flustered. A boy? Asking me if I'm going? I'm going mad! McKenna thought in her head but she still replied. "Yes, well no… actually maybe… wait! I'm not sure. Well, Josh hasn't asked me to it yet but I'm pretty he will. Oh, look at the time Linda! We better get home quick sticks!" She pulled Linda the way they go. "Bye Tyler!" they both said. "Bye Linda! And McKenna." They both away and walked. "What was all that about McKenna?" Linda questioned. "I didn't want your poor heart shattered by what he said!" Linda questioned further, "What did he say?"
McKenna looked like she was going to strangle Linda. "ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?!?! HE ASKED BRONTĘ OUT TO THE PROM!!!!!! I was worried, but you were probably dreaming bout him instead of listening!!!" She briskly explained to Linda. "McKenna, help me look for a different boy. They're just gonna get married!" McKenna jutted in, "You can't do that! Stay with the one you love! You won't get along you know?" C'mon, we're at your Aunts K? I come over to my place tomorrow afternoon to work on the story please? See you tomorrow!" "Bye! Text me the times okay? See ya!" With that Linda disappeared inside. "Oh, it's so wet!" So McKenna got out her pink, old iPod nano and switched to Avril Lavigne's Smile and What The Hell? Placed her ear phones in an swung to the music. …"Why I smile, it's been a while…" McKenna neared her house after I've minutes of dancing and singing. She lived at 313 Adel3 Circuit Richmond East ten doors down from Linda's. McKenna pulled her house key out her handbag and opened the door. "Is anyone ho-ome?" She sung out. McKenna kicked open her joint room door, fell on the bed and threw her handbag into the wardrobe, which was open. Her room had been joined to Cameron's when he died. They knocked down the wall, painted it, moved stuff and all that. She didn't cared. McKenna had cried for weeks on end about her lost brother. She hadn't wanted to move in but she appreciated the space. McKenna had got the bookshelf, study desk and laptop she'd wanted forever! She turned on her radio, curled into a ball an cried herself to sleep…
"I'm Sexy and I Know It!" McKenna opened her eyes to that song and glanced at the radio with a smile. Then peered underneath her bed. McKenna found what she was looking for and sat back up. McKenna's photo album fell open and she was checking the photos when... "… Beep, Beep!" came a piercing honk. It awoke McKenna from her sad flashback but nevertheless she thought "Life must go on, whether I like it or not!" She checked her window. "Hmmm… I wonder whose that?" She picked herself off her bed, straightened her crumpled clothes and ran into the bathroom. "I look okay. Who cares if my mascara ran?" So McKenna walked to the front door and opened it to her great surprise. "JOSH!!!!!!" she screamed and ran to his waiting arms. Josh picked her up and swung her round once, twice, thrice! "How are you Sweetie?" he asked her accompanied with a warm smile. Sweets was McKenna's nickname and Josh's was Pie, put together was SweetiePie, McKenna's favourite MyLittlePony character from when she was younger. "I am great Pie." McKenna giggled uncontrollably, "Why are you here?" She noticed Josh gasped playfully. "Oh No! You've for-gottenn?!?! We have a date! OMGosh!" Pretending to be offended he fake fainted. As always she came to his side. "Oh… I'm so sorry Pie! I lost track of time. I…I… I had a flashback again." Shamefully she lowered her head. "Oh My Goodness Gracious Me! Always snap out of it and ring me Sweetie. You know what the doctor said. Well, are you fine after that?" He looked worried. "Yeah! Of course. Come in, come in! If you wait here I'll be ready in ten minutes okay? If Mum comes home just say I'm getting ready and we'll be out your hair soon." With that she turned and skipped to her room and chose her dark purple and periwinkle blue short-ish, flouncing dress, purple strappy wedges and blue purse. Then McKenna fixed her mascara, lip gloss, eye shadow, hair and they were off soon after McKenna's mother came home...
Might as well. Inspiration 4 a new one? I may occasionally update. But hoping second will attract more at-ten-shun!
