Just Another Hangout Spot (Katie/Josh)

[blackregret21a]

December 8th

Anthony was bored out of his mind, and wanted something to do. So he decided to call up Katie and Josh. Though mostly for Katie. He loved her, though she didn't know it. He had a crush on her for god knows how long. But he thought he hid this well. He called them up to see if they could hang. As the phone stopped ringing Katie's voice came through.

"Hello? Katie? This is Anthony. Can you guys hang?" he asked.

Katie wasn't doing very much today, in fact she was just lying on her bed and reading a book when her phone rang. She jumped at first, because it had been so quiet. She put down her book and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" she said, and then she heard the voice and recognised it right away. It was Anthony. "Hi Anthony" she added, smiling down the phone to him, not that he'd see her smile, but anyway. Then he asked if they could hang. She figured that yes, they could hang.

"Sure, I'll just let Josh know, see you in ten?" she said, as she put the phone down and walked out of her room and shouting on Josh.

"Josh, Joshie, you there? Anthony wants to hang, I said we'd be there in ten, you coming?" she shouted out waiting for a response from her brother.

Josh, like Katie, wasn't doing anything at all. In fact, he had his headphones on his head, blaring loudly at him. He didn't even remember what song this was, or if this song was good or not. All he could really hear was the singer yelling at him, which he really didn't like. Unfortunately, he didn't feel like moving his hand a fraction of an inch to press the fast-forward button. In fact, he didn't feel like doing anything.

"Josh, Joshie, you there?" Katie called, which prompted Josh to do nothing: he couldn't hear her. Josh's music was too loud, and he was too lazy to turn it down. In fact, he probably wouldn't have even turned it down if he could do it with his brain.

"Coming?" Josh heard that, and he sprang into action. "Wha-who-whatsit?" Josh said, jumping up and almost killing his ears because he yanked the headphones out of his ears accidentally when he jumped up. "Ow!" He gasped, clutching his ears.

Then: "What did you say, Kate?" He said as he miraculously saved himself from tripping over a table only to trip over a hotwheels car. No telling how that got there. "Ow!" Josh cried again, and somehow made it to Katie. He wasn't sure how he happened to get there without falling again, but he was sure that Katie had called him. "Whad'ya want, Kate?"

Katie wondered why Josh hadn't answered her right away, it was unlike him. Usually when she called on him, he answered her pretty much straight away. She figured he must have been listening to his music, and that there would be no point in shouting again. So she just left it, he would realise she'd shouted on him at some point.

Katie began to make her way to Josh's room, when she heard him say something. She began to laugh when she heard him say ow, wondering what he had done to himself this time.

"I said Anthony wants to hang with us" Katie said when Josh asked again what it was she had shouted. Then he tripped up again, and Katie just stood shaking her head, trying desperately not to laugh too much.

"Okay, I shall start this again, Anthony just phoned and wants us to hang, I said we'd be there in ten minutes, so now we've only got five minutes left to meet him, so lets go now?" she said with a grin as she got her jacket and threw it on before heading toward the door to get to where she said she and Josh would meet Anthony.

Josh blinked. “Anthony wants to hang with us?” Josh asked, then he reiterated, “With us?” He said it like the twins were some sort of plague. Of course they were, they were twins, boy and girl, and they liked to hang out with each other. That, to some people, was scary.

After a second of silence… or maybe it was a minute, Josh grinned, “Of course, sure, we can hang out with him. It’ll only take me five minutes to get ready; oh wait, that’s you.” Josh smiled and gave his sister a funny look before turning back to his room. He slipped on his ever-ready shoes, and trudged back to Katie. “There, all ready to go. What about you, still need to do your hair?” Josh loved to joke with his sister, and sarcasm was never very far from his reach.

He followed Katie down the stairs and to the door, waiting for her to open it. “I heard Jason’s coming home soon. It’ll be cool to have the whole family here again.” Josh walked out the door, “Where did Anthony say we were going to meet him?”

Katie laughed, "Yes, okay, Anthony wants to hang with you and I, does that sound any better?" she asked, teasing him slightly. One thing about the fact Katie and Josh got on so well was because they could tease each other like that and the other knew it. She stood there grinning at him now waiting on his response.

"Great, it will be good to see him again and have some fun" Katie said, and then snorted when he mentioned about only taking five minutes to get ready. "What do you mean that's me? I usually take much longer, just happens I was already ready before he phoned, I just needed my jacket" she said sticking her tongue out at him, like the adult she was. See, another point of the fact they got on so well together.

Katie rolled her eyes, but laughed, "No, I don't need to do my hair, does it look like I need to do my hair?" she asked him, anybody listening to them would think they were bickering siblings when in fact they were anything but. Katie did a double take when she heard Josh speak about their older brother Jason.

"Where did you hear that?" she asked, "But that will be so cool, wonder if William will come home soon too" she said, as she missed both her older brothers. Katie was the only girl in the siblings, but she never felt out numbered, her mom was always good to her, so she never felt truly alone.

"Oh, and Anthony mentioned something about the park, so I fugure we head to the local park which is like five minutes away from here" she said, as she flipped open her cell phone and began to text Anthony.

We're just on our way, see you at the park in five minutes, Love Katie xx

Walking down the street, he was walking towards the park. He couldn't believe Katie was actually going to hang with him. He loved and sometimes he found it hard to hide the fact that she did. But while he thought through this, his right pocket began to vibrate. He shook his head, blinked a few times and pulled the phone out of his pocket. He recieved a text. Opening the phone, he noticed it was from Katie. He read the text with a small smile as he continued to walk towards the park, which was now 3 blocks away. The text from Katie confirmed that Josh was also coming. But the "Love Katie" in her texts all ways cheered him up. Even though it was just part of the signature in her messages. Clicking the reply button, he began to type his reply.

I will be there then myself. Peace, Anthony.

He sent the message and then slipped the phone back into his pocket it came from. Looking at where he was walking. He came up to one of the major street in Brooklyn. Looking back and forth, he began crossing the street. Finishing crossing it he could see the park.
