A new day, a new me part 3

Wow, got some nice comments, thank you to all those who are reading my work, I’ll try to put out more. And I apologize for the lead up in the story if it takes too long.


After a Wednesday that would make most people want me dead for my luck my Thursday was actually boring. Get up, eat, do school, come home, and enjoy time with my family.

“So your mother and I are heading out of town this weekend,” my father says as we’re eating dinner. I freeze solid; my internal clock is racing a mile a minute. My loving sister Liz decides to break the silence,” both of you are gonna be gone? For how long?” “From Friday morning to Sunday evening, your father got a bid for a weekend vacation from work and we’re going to try to have some fun ourselves,” Mom says smiling. I’ve almost lost my appetite, the Queen of trouble is home alone and I’m gonna get blamed for the chaos she causes.

“Before you two get all excited I’m laying down the rules your mother and I discussed,” Dad starts,” All the standard rules but we’re going to leave you money so you can eat out or get groceries while we’re gone.” God why have you forsaken me, they’re gonna leave her in charge of it all and I’m gonna eat leftovers all weekend. “This is gonna be awesome, I get to eat what I want and have friends over all weekend,” Liz starts in, Mom however is quick to cut her off,” Actually any of that you have to get cleared with your brother, we decided to leave Guy in charge and he’s going to have the money this weekend.

Now I’m hearing the chorus to Ode to Joy in my head, God has answered my prayers. “WHAT,” blurts out my sister shaking me out of my joyful moment. “You heard your mother,” says Dad,” He’s going to be in charge so if you want to do something you have to run it by him.” I finish my meal in a spectacular mood while my sister attempts to plead her case to our folks.


Next morning we’re heading out the door at the same time as our folks as Tracy pulls up, Korinna is already in the backseat. Elizabeth and I pile in, her in the front and me in the back. As soon as I’m in the back I see Korinna in her tight black v-neck and blue jeans, she smiles as we speed off to school. “So you get to make all the rules this weekend huh Guy,” Korinna asks. Thank you modern technology,” Yep, parents left me in charge for the weekend and I have access to the money only, Dad left me a money card and I’m the only one other than him with the pin number.”

Now Korinna is grinning widely, Tracy looks like she doesn’t care in the slightest and Liz looks more annoyed now than she was last night. “So all we gotta do is convince you to let us do what we want,” says Korinna again, she’s leaning back and unbuttons the top button of her jeans. “You two can convince him all you want, I’ve got a game and my dad is not gonna let my ass out the house for no reason,” Tracy states. “It’s my brother, the most boring boy at our whole school, the boy who sits on the computer all weekend or hangs out with his band student girlfriend or his not good enough to be a jock best friend,” Liz exclaims. We sit quietly until school; all of us pile out of the car and start to head off to class as I hear someone running up behind me, I turn to see Korinna jog up. “You know your sister has some plans right,” she says. “Yeah but no thanks, every time she decides to have some fun I end up with the grounding,” I reply. She cuts me off from walking and stops right in front of me. “I know what she is going to want to do and I’ve got some things in mind so here’s what we do, I’ll get her to ask, she’s gonna hit you with a lot of ideas, I’ll give you a signal and you agree. After that it’ll be smooth sailing till Sunday,” she states. I shrug and head off to first period.


First and second period come and go, I wind up in third period Liz and Korinna are sitting already and both turn to me as soon as I enter the room. I get into my seat and get ready for class when Liz chimes in,” I wanna have fun this weekend.” I shrug as she continues,” I AM going to have fun this weekend cause you’re going to let me host a party and use the card.” I almost fall of my chair from chuckling,” No chance in hell.” She turns and starts whispering to Korinna, she turns back and says,” I host the party and you use the card to get stuff for it.” I’m still going from her first idea,” Again Liz, No.” I turn back to face the front of the room as class starts.

Class ends and I head out to lunch and get about 3 feet out of the door when grabbed by both arms and steered off to the cafeteria, Korinna and Liz on each arm guiding me forward. We enter the cafeteria and the sit me down into a chair, then pull up chairs along either side of me and sit down pinning me in. “Let me explain,” Liz starts,” I want to have a party, I am going to have a party, I need your help.” She pauses on need, like it hurt to say it. “Maybe I should explain it,” Korinna chimes in, she places her hand on my thigh and squeezes lightly,” the party she wants to have isn’t a party to get you in trouble, we’re gonna have a special party.” Liz starts texting and in a few minutes I’ve got 3 more females sitting at my table; an Indian girl about 5’6” who fills out her sweater and jeans with a at least a B cup with her hair in a long braid, an Asian girl about 5’5” thin build with her hair in some punk scene blue and black mix cut short around her face with a loose open neck t-shirt and cut off jeans, and a very familiar looking redhead with freckles in a blue jogging suit.

Liz turns to me,” I want a slumber party, just us girls, I need you to use the card so we can party and have fun for 2 nights.” I feel the girls staring at me expectantly, Korinna squeezes my leg again. I’m being set up, I can’t figure it out but I know I’m being set up. Then it hits me, I smile at my sister then to Korinna,” Nope, not gonna happen.” As the 5 of them sit shocked I push my chair back and quickly grab my bag and duck out of the cafeteria.

I get to the far side of the Gym and wait; sure enough Korinna comes flying around the corner and almost walks right past me. “What the hell are you doing,” she exclaims,” we had a deal.” I chuckle,” we didn’t have a deal, you had a plan and I’m having fun.” She glares at me for a second and then softens,” You’re messing with Liz?” I start laughing and she follows in suit.
