"Ceci!" I said excidetly when she answered the phone.
"What?" She asked. She sounded really tired.
"I did it!" I shouted.
"Brandon?" She asked, suddenly sounding totally awake.
"Yes!" I said. I couldn't stop smiling.
"It must have been incredible." She said.
I giggled. "It was okay."
"It was your first time. It'll get better and better." She said. "At least it did for me with Ricky." She laughed.
"I just kind of layed there and he did everything. He must have thought I was so boring." I said.
"Did he know it was your first time?" She asked.
"Yeah."
"Then I'm sure he wasn't thinking that." She said.
"He said he had fun."
"Then stop worrying about it." She said.
"I want to know how many girls he's been with." I said.
"So ask him."
"I think it's a lot though. . ." I said.
"Then don't ask."
"But, I still want to know."
"Then ask!" She laughed.
"I will. Not yet though." I said.
"Call me in the morning. We'll meet up for breakfast so we can talk." She said.
"Okay. I'm going to try to go to sleep."
She laughed. "First timers."
"Shut up."
She laughed and hung up. I got ready for bed and layed down. I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep, because I kept thinking about Brandon. Finally, I did fall asleep and I didn't wake up until late afternoon the next day. I took a shower and threw on my long jean skirt and my pink halter top.
"Heard you sneak in at 3am this morning." Mom said smiling as I walked into the kitchen.
"I didn't mean to wake you." I said.
"I was already awake. I couldn't sleep, so I got up to read." She said. "Your father tried to wait up for you, but he fell asleep. I told him you got in at midnight."
I giggled. "Thanks."
Mark walked into the kitchen. "Saw you got home at 3am last night" He said.
"Drop it." Mom told Mark as Dad walked in the room.
"Drop what?" Dad asked.
"Nothing." We all said at the same time.
Dad gave us all strange looks, then laughed. "I thought this family didn't keep secrets." He said as he sat down at the table. He started reading the newspaper. We all ate breakfast and I borrowed Mom's car to go shopping with CeCi and our other cousin, Lucy. I picked them both up and we headed to the big mall in town.
"How is everything?" Lucy asked sounding concerned.
"Getting better." I said. "When I start thinking about the accident, I get all worked up again, but I've been trying to keep myself busy."
"With Brandon." Ceci giggled.
"Who's Brandon?" Lucy asked.
"Her new boy toy." Ceci said.
They both giggled.
"Shush." I said.
We pulled up in front of Macy's and I parked. We started walking through the mall. "Hello!" Lucy said as she stopped in front of Saphire Shoes. Ceci and I were ready to walk right by the store. It was a fancy store full of designer and overpriced shoes. We rolled our eyes and followed her in. Lucy dressed well and always looked really cute. She was very good at finding great deals on expensive clothing and accesories. This time she walked out with a pair of heals and a pair of jogging shoes. "Now I've got to go to New York & Co and get valure pants and a jacket to go with these." She said holding up the jogging shoes.
Ceci sighed and I laughed.
"Shut up. You know what you're getting into when you go shopping with me." She said.
We all laughed. We spent the rest of the day following Lucy around. I didn't end up buying anything. Ceci just went home with a pink satin robe that she had her eye on for a few months. When I got home, I was beat. I went straight to my bedroom, grabbed Dina's journal and curled up in my moon chair. I started reading right where I had left off. . .

My brother is a bigger jerk than I thought! I'm so glad Austin came around today, so we could walk and get ice cream. I cought Bran cheating on his girlfriend, whom I had by the way. But, still, it's pretty fucked up. I brought it to his attention too. He said it was none of my business. We got into an argument and he told me he had already cheated on her with three other girls! Ugh! Men fucking suck and I don't think I am ready to get close to one. . .


I closed the journal and threw it onto my bed. "Why didn't she tell me about this?" I asked myself. I really started to wonder if Kim was still his current girlfriend, because she was pretty upset when she found him with me. I tried not to get all worked up about it again. I reached over and grabbed the journal again. I continued to read.

Luken would not stop making fun of me today! I was running late for school, so I had like zero time to get ready. I wore this stupid patchwork skirt and he would not stop making fun of it! In Biology Class, he kept whispering things to me and finally I told him to shut up. Now we both have Saturday detention of interupting the class. Fuckin' Luken!


I laughed and closed the journal again. I set it down on my nightstand. I hopped into bed and turned on the tv hoping I could catch the episode I had missed of The Real World earlier that week.
