Chapter 3: And the worst project continues

Sunday (Sept. 9th)

I got back home from church before my parents because they were going out to eat with some of their friends. When I got back home, I saw Sean sitting on the doorstep.

"What you aren't finished ruining my life yet?" I asked as I walked towards him.

"I didn't mean to spill that drink on you." He said standing up.

"Right; you are just blind and can't see where you are going." I said unlocking the front door.

"I just need to get some pictures of you." He said.

"Come on in." I said and he walked in the house behind me and he shut the door behind him.

"So is the shirt completely ruined?" He asked.

"No." I said pulling off my shoes and putting them in the hall closet.

"Follow me." I said going upstairs and he followed.

I went into my bedroom and he stopped at the door. I opened my closet and got down a big box and put it on the floor.

"You can look through these pictures. You should find some you can use but I want all of them back after the project is over." I said looking at him.

"Ok." He said walking into my room and he sat down on the floor where the box was at.

I got out a book to read and sat on my bed. He spent at least 2 hours looking at the pictures.

"You took karate?" He asked looking at a picture.

"Yeah." I said looking at him.

"Spelling bee champion; I should have guessed that." He said looking at another picture.

"4th, 5th, and 6th grade. After that I quit being in them. It got too boring for me." I said.

"A cheerleader?" He asked.

"Ok quit making fun of my pictures." I said and he laughed.

"Remember I haven't seen your pictures yet." I said and he gave me an evil look.

"Fine I am done. I got enough here to show the class how much you have changed throughout the years." He said standing up and I got off my bed.

I walked towards him and grabbed the box then put it back in my closet.

"Now out of my house." I said looking at him.

"Ok I am going. When are you coming over to look at my pictures?" He asked as we walked downstairs.

"I am not stepping a foot in your house." I said and he laughed.

" Are you scared of my dad?" He asked.

"No I am scared of everyone that hangs out over there. Have you seen the way some of those guys look?" I asked and he laughed.

"Ok point made but I will tell them not to hurt you and they have to listen to me." He said as I opened the door for him.

"Might as well come over now and get it over with." He said as he walked outside.

"Maybe after I eat." I said.

"We have food unless you don't trust my mom's cooking." He said looking at me.

"Fine." I said walking outside and closing the door behind me.

I got strange looks when all the guys saw me walk in the house behind Sean.

"Mom, have you cooked something to eat?" Sean asked.

"Yes!" His mom yelled.

"Come on, my room is upstairs." Sean said looking at me and I nodded my head.

I followed him and after he got all his pictures out, I sat down on the floor then he went back downstairs to get some food that he was going to bring back upstairs.

"Dude, what is that plain girl doing here?" I heard a guy ask and I shook my head.

"We are working on a project together and tell the other guys to leave her alone." Sean said then I heard his footsteps and I knew he was coming upstairs.

"Hamburger, fries, and water." Sean said sitting the stuff down in front of me.

"Thanks." I said as he sat down on his bed.

"Oh now this one is a keeper." I said an hour later.

"What?" He asked looking at me.

"You dressed up like a cowboy for Halloween." I said and he gave me an evil look.

"Hey if you can use the one of I dressed like a cheerleader than I can use this one." I said.

"Fine." He said leaning back against his bed.

"What is your natural hair color?" I asked.

"What?" He asked looking at me.

"In this picture it's dark brown." I said holding up the picture.

"It's blonde; I dyed it that year for the fun of it." He said.

I nodded my head and added the picture to the pile of pictures that I was going to use.

"Alright I am done." I said an hour later.

"I will walk you out." He said getting off his bed.

I nodded my head and followed him.

"I will be back!" He yelled before opening the front door for me.

Once he opened the door, I saw that all the guys were now outside.

"Good you are done. Now, let's go we have something we need to take care of." Johnny (one of his brothers and he is 19) said as we walked outside.

I didn't say anything I just walked towards my house.

"Let's go." Sean said then I walked inside my house.
