Chapter 3
Hey, Sarah! I had chicken and rice last night for dinner. Why are you writing that down? You’re impossible! Got your pencils and paper ready? Good. Let’s start.
It was about an hour until we were going to land.
“Case?” Conan questioned.
“Yeah?” I asked.
“We need to talk,”
“What?! He’s gonna dump me already??” I thought.
“You see I’ve been hiding something from you....”
“Yes! He’s not dumping me!” I thought.
“You see... My parents have been in America for a while....I stayed behind because I’m an amateur detective...”
“Wow! That’s so cool! Your like a real life Hardy boy!”
“Yeah....anyways...I was currently working on a case. I was on the trail of a group of smugglers. I was so close to catching them, but......”
“But?”
“I found out they went into hiding,”
He punched the seat in front of us...lucky that seat was empty.
“I was so close! I’m sorry....I found out they are now in America. In Nevada...That’s why I’m coming with you,”
“It’s ok. I’m glade you told me....”
About an hour later we arrived in good old Nevada! As soon as we got off the plane my Mom ran over to me and I got trapped in another death trap of doom!
“Casey!!! I’ve missed you sooooo much!!! Hey you lost weight!” She cried.
“Mom! Your embarrassing me! Dad! Save me!!” I cried.
Dad walked over and dragged my mother off me.
“Welcome home Case!” Dad said giving me a small hug.
I looked over at Conan and he was laughing! He wont be laughing when my Mom catches him in her death trap! Wah ha ha ha!
“Mom, Dad I want you to meet my boyfriend Conan Aoyama,” I said pointing to Conan.
“Oh hey Conan! I’m so proud of you sweetie! So Conan did you get my sweet little girl running?” Mom said hugging Conan.
“A Boyfriend? I give you $200 and all you bring home is a guy??” Dad said.
“Actually Mrs. Madison your daughter’s clumsiness made her fall into a cursed lake and now she has shape shifting powers and she can’t go back to normal,” Conan explained.
I gave Conan an evil glare.
“That makes sense...I guess....” Mom said. My mom may be pretty but she is not smart at all....
“It’s a good thing my parents are clueless...” I whispered to Conan.
“Let’s hurry home so I can get my pics developed,”I said.
Mom and Dad picked up my luggage.
“Mom....I’m riding home with Conan. His parents are our new neighbors. Can you take his luggage back with you?” I asked.
“Why?” she asked.
“Um... we’re riding back in his motorcycle,” I said.
“Ok. Be careful and wear helmets!” Mom said leaving with Dad who was carrying both mine and Conan’s luggage.
Conan and I hopped on his bike with our helmets on and drove toward home.
It’s times like this that makes me glade my Mom is too over protective....
**************
I’m gonna skip ahead. It was the first day of school (about a week after I got back). I hadn’t introduced my BF(boyfriend) to Tessa yet... also Tessa hadn’t found out about my new powers. My new figure would shock the whole school. See I’m not popular, but everyone knows me. I’m not friendly I’m just way smart so the teachers always make me tutor other students.
Conan offered to drive me to school and I accepted. I thought that if people were gonna see 2 huge changes they might as well see them all at once. (The changes are my BF and figure. I had to say that for people that are clueless like you Sarah. Ow! Don’t throw erasers at me! ) I called Tessa and told her I already had a ride to school, see unlike yours truly she has a car. Anyways when she asked who was driving me I said it was a surprise.
Yeah I found out that morning skirts + motorcycle = No! Our school uniforms consist of plaid skirts and white long or short(I wear short sleeved) sleeved blouses and black dress shoes. For the guys they wear khaki pants and white short sleeved dress shirts and black dress shoes. So you can see that Conan’s bike caused a crowd. Conan got off and pulled his helmet off and all the girls swooned. I hesitated. Conan turn around and held out his hand to help me off. I was then filled with a burst of confidence. I grabbed his hand and got off. I pulled off my helmet. Everyone was shocked. The guys shocked at my new look and the girls shocked that a hot guy could be with me.
“Casey! You look amazing!” Tessa cried running over to me.
“Thanks. Oh, Conan this is my best friend Tessa,” I said.
“ Nice to meet you Tessa. A friend of my girlfriend is a friend of mine. My name is Conan Aoyama,” Conan said.
“He’s your boyfriend?” Tessa said.
“Yes....We met in China....” I said ignoring the mumbles of girls saying, “How could she get a guy like him?” And the guys whispering, “Dang she’s hot. To bad she has a Boyfriend if she was single I’d ask her out.”
Conan grasped my hand and pulled me through the crowd.
“We don’t want to be late,” he said with a smile.
Our school is huge! It’s tan brick on the outside. It has three levels and on the inside the walls are a crisp clean white.
We were about to walk into home room when a tall preppy long brown haired girl darken our path.
“Hey, Casey!” she said.
“Rachel,” I said.
“So who’s your friend? Is he your cousin?”
“I’m her boyfriend Conan Aoyama,” Conan said smoothly.
“Oh, that’s great. Well I’ll be seeing you around,” she said sounding very perky.
During all of our classes Rachel sat on one side of Conan while I sat on the other. She even tried to sit by him at lunch. I wanted to pound her, but Conan says hitting is wrong even if it is Rachel.... I sometimes wish Conan wasn’t so hot...Then I could ignore him like I do to all the other guys at our school....I’m kidding of course! I love Conan just the way he is!
During lunch Conan asked his Dad to pick up his bike so we could walk home. So at the end of the day we walked. And talked of course.
"Are You gonna work on the case today?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm so close," he said.
"Maybe I can help,"
"It's too dangerous,"
"But,"
"But nothing. I don't want you involved,"
"Fine...."
"Promise you wont take any risks,"
"........."
"Promise?!"
"Ok..."
"Good," he said turning up his drive way leaving me to walk home the rest of the way alone.
Sarah you look hungry let's go get lunch and come back.
