The New Kid - Chapter 14: Time for Dinner
What's happening in the life of Blake and Ariel after the coma? Are they still doing ok? READ AND FIND OUT!!! :)
My writers block is mostly over!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy! I was soooo stumped for sometime and I think I know where I wanna take this story now. I cannot believe some of the comments I am getting... You all are soooo supportive and I feel like a superstar now! Thank you all for following with me and putting up with me through all the terrible chapters and good ones :) I know I've said this before, but I really can't that you enough! Your comments mean so much to me! Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna use the rest of this space to reply to some comments :)
Lara: I think I've tried to do this before and it didn't work.... Haha, ok so in order to make words BOLD you have to use simple "HTML" sort of.... First you need a < symbol, next you need a lowercase b then close it of with a > symbol.... The same with italics except it's a lowercase I instead.... Then write the words you want to bold or italicize and close it of with a < symbol then a / then the b or I and a > symbol. I really hope that worked!!
Shayla: HAHA!! I can't believe my own cousin FOUND THIS. Small world huh? I miss you too! Hope to see you soon.
Thanks to these people too: Chodiangel, Lara, Lupe, Madason, Imani, Miranda, Katie, Monica, and Leila!!

**Ariel's Point Of View**
I swear I was falling in love. I never thought I would be the one to say 'I love you' and actually mean it.... I haven't said it yet, but it's sitting there pulling at my every nerve. School started in August and Blake got here on September 7th. It's December 22nd, that means Blake and I have been dating for nearly three months. Wow... time flies! It's been two weeks since I was in a coma, but it feels like it's been months. Ha! We still don't know if I won that contest yet either! Ah- well, what can you do?

Blake The word hummed with a beautiful melody as I sat in class waiting for lunch time to come. It whirled and danced around in my head until the bell rang. When it did, I ran out of the room faster than you could say - well, there's nothing you could say to come even remotely close! The weirdest thing happened when I sat down at the table though; my mom was calling me. She never calls me unless there's something very wrong. Freaking out I answer the phone.... "Hello, mom? What happened? Is everything ok?"
"Nothing, everything is fine! I just wanted to remind you that I won't be home when you get there and to meet me at the restaurant for dinner tonight." I forgot about the dinner and I made plans yesterday to hang out with Blake today. Before I could tell her she added "You should bring, Blake! Grandma, really wants to meet him."
"Oh, alright, Mom. I'll see if he wants to." Right as I said that he sat next to me and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Hey, babe." He whispered, making my heart leap.
"Hey, Mom he's right here and It's lunch time. I will ask him now and see you later, ok?"
"Yeah, sure, Love ya, hun."
"Love you." I hung up and turned to Blake, "Hey,"
"So what were you two talking about? She never calls you."
"I know... we were talking about dinner tonight... I totally forgot about it yesterday. I know we had plans I'm really sorry, but do you want to come? Apparently my family is excited to meet you..."
"Of course,"
"Really?!"
"Yep, as long as I get to sit next to you, I'll come."
"That's a deal." I pulled a little curl in his hair to watch it spring perfectly back in place and giggled. He laughed, with his perfect smile, at how easily I was entertained. It's true, the simplest things keep me fairly busy. The rest of the school day was boring and slow... I was ready to leave!
Once I was home I jumped in the shower, got dressed, and waited for Blake to arrive. He changed his clothes before he came over, but his face was bright and excited.
I opened the door and gave him a hug "Ready to go?"
"Wait the dinner isn't till five, right?"
"Yeah,"
"Well it's only 4!"
"It's an hour away!"
"Oh."
I laughed and continued "Come on, I'll drive."
When we walked into the restaurant, there was a pale faced old woman who stood up on her chair and waved her arms around like she was bringing in an airplane. She made me laugh. "I'm so glad I don't know her."
"Babe, I think you do... your mom is sitting at her table."
I felt the blood rush into my cheeks.... That is my grandmother. I couldn't tell it was her from such a distance. "Oh, that's my grandma.... I'm sorry."
Blake laughed and kissed my forehead, "Don't be. My whole family stands on their chairs when someone they know walks in the door." He said trying to make me feel a little better. It worked. "Besides..." He continued, wrapping his arm around my waist, and pushing me forward, "I'm right here." Then he pushed a piece of hair behind my ear and said "And I love you. I'm not going anywhere." I straightened up immediately and gladly walked him to where my insane family was sitting.
"This is Blake, everyone."
The words he said ran through my head and that's all I could hear the rest of the dinner. I never thought about anything else, I can't even remember what was said. All I knew is that I had Blake next to me and he was gonna stay here for a while. I drove his car up here so he drove me home. He walked me up to my front door and I finally got to say the words... "I love you too." Before I knew it his warm lips were pressed up against mine with a burning intensity. I didn't want this moment to end, but my mom was close behind us. I pulled away and smiled. "Goodnight, Blake."
He slid his hand gently over my cheek "Goodnight," and walked to his car. My lips burned from the heat of his for the rest of the night... like they always do, but this time it was different. I guess it actually meant something.
