Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 62
“Van, open up, it’s your father,” my dad knocked
loudly. I opened the door with one shoe in my hand.
He smiled at me while I slipped the shoe onto my
foot.
“Yes, dad?” I asked as I stood up. Jeremiah inherited
his height, around the six foot area while I inherited
my mother’s fragile stature.
“I talked to that Jonah boy,” he told me with an
approving smile. I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to
play it innocent.
“What does that have to do with me?” I asked him
and he smiled at me.
“Jeremiah told me you like this boy,” I groaned
loudly, shaking my head as my hands buried
themselves in my hair.
“Why does everyone believe everything Jeremiah
says? He has the mentality of a six year old!” I asked
him and he shrugged. “I have to go downstairs now
or else mom will cut my legs off and make them for
dinner,” I told him as I stepped out of my room.
“As long as she fries them, I’m okay with it,” my dad
joked and I rolled my eyes.
I walked down the stairs and saw Mere at the
bottom, talking to my brother. I sighed, shaking my
head as I walked over towards the tree. I placed
Jonah’s gift under the it before turning around. My
eyes met Jonah’s and he looked shocked. Did the
wrapping paper start to peel? What if he recognized
the bag?
“Savannah, hey,” he smiled.
I waved. “Hi, Jonah.”
“You look pretty,” he complimented me and I felt my
face warm up. I glared at the floor.
“Thanks, you look pretty, too,” I told him as he
furrowed his eyebrows with a smile on his face. “I
meant nice; you look nice.”
“You clean up nice,” he nudged me and I glared at
him, punching his shoulder. He stared at me,
shocked for a moment before he laughed. “You hit
like a girl!”
I punched him harder and he winced. “I’d like to
retract my statement. Anyway, what’d you get for
Christmas?”
I looked at him and shrugged. “I got some more
clothes, a pair of shoes, a new headset, hair stuff, a
new backpack, and some other stuff. What’d you
get?”
“I got a new pair of shoes, a few new memory
cards, more membership for XBOX 360, a new
headset, and a few new games,” my eyes widened
slightly at the latter part of the sentence. What if he’d
gotten the game I’d gotten him already for
Christmas?
“What games?” I asked him.
He shrugged. “A few games, sports games, really,”
he told me and I nodded. Thank goodness the game
I got him wasn’t a sports game. I’d have to beat
around the bush so badly that there wouldn’t be any
bush to beat when I’d be done.
“Any games you wanted that you didn’t get?” I asked
him and he nodded.
“The new STF game but I’ll get it eventually,” he
shrugged and I nodded, containing my smile.
“I have it,” I smiled smugly and he glared at me.
“Christmas gift from Ms. Antoinette; it’s one of the
many perks of working at a video game store.”
“Yeah, I saw it there,” he nodded.
“I’d invite you to play it but one, it’d be rude to just
up and leave the party and two, my mother and
father wouldn’t approve of me being alone in my
room with a guy,” I shrugged.
He laughed and I smiled before curiously looking at
him. “Did you meet my brother yet?”
He nodded his head. “Yeah, when I came inside,
your mother was yelling at him to come inside and
get ready,” he shrugged while I nodded.
