While I Wait (Ch. 1) by Alyssa J. F. Brown (best books to read for self improvement .TXT) 📖

this, just start a conversation with the boy, he won't hurt you, she thought. As she rolled her eyes at herself for thinking that he would harm her.
"So where am I taking you?" Addy asked.
"I live near Pizza Hut, The white house with the red shutters," Bennett replied.
"You do? I always thought that no one lived there," Addy said surprisingly.
"Yeah, I live there, it just looks like no one lives there because my parents are never home to take care of it," Benett said.
"Oh, well, you're lucky, my parents are always home, and are always getting into my business, asking me questions like "Where have you been?", "Where are you going?", its not like I'm going to go off and runaway or something," Addy said, rolling her eyes at no one specific.
"It's cool not having parents home all the time though, cause I go to parties and stuff all weekend and I can come home drunk and they would never know," Bennett said smiling.
"Well that is cool, but I don't drink or go to parties though, and if I did my parents wouldn't trust me even more," Addy said.
Addy had pulled up to Bennett's driveway and parked the car.
"Well I guess I will see you later," Bennett said while he got out of the car.
"Bye," Addy said as she waved to him.
Bennett shut the door, gave a little wave to Addy and went into his house. Addy pulled out of his driveway and began to drive home. She really wished that the drive to Bennett's house was longer. She wanted to know more about him. She wanted to know his hobbies, his favorite song, andwhat he does for fun. She was hoping to see him again.
As Addy pulled into her driveway, she was dreading what her parents would ask her when she walked through the door. She parked her car, turned the ingition off and got out. She knew that once she got into her house her parents were going to ask her why it took her so long to get home from school. So as she got inside, she ran up the stairs to her room.
"Addy! Addy! Adabelle!" her mom screamed from below the staircase.
Addy got up from her bed and went to the stairs. "What mom? What do you want?" she said.
"Why are you just now coming home? Where have you been?"
"If you want to know so bad, I was in detention mom, for punching some girl in her face," Addy lied.
"Punching a girl in her face? I know good and well you wouldn't do that Adabelle Lynn," her mom said.
"Yeah I know, Julianne and Layla blamed me for tripping Natalie." she confessed.
"Natalie? Natalie Grifford, Mr. Griffords daughter?" her mom asked.
"Yes, mom Natalie Grifford," replied Addy.
"Adabelle, you used to be best friends with Natalie, what ever happened between you two?"
"I don't know mom, and what's with everyone calling me Adabelle today? I told you I should of changed it!" Addy mumbled as she went back to her room and slammed the door.

It was true, Addy and Natalie used to be the best offriends, before they started high school. They were friends since they were little girls. Natalie used to come over to Addy's house everday. They would always talk about their obsession over Landon, the boy across the street. Of course they would talk about other things too.
As they grew older, Natalie and Addy began to grow apart. Natalie wouldn't come over to Addy's house anymore and their friendship wasn't the same once they started high school. That's when Addy became friends with Julianne and Layla.
Natalie didn't like Julianne or Layla because they always made fun of her and Addy wouldn't do anything about it. So one day Natalie told Addy she didn't want to be friends anymore because she was tired of being made fun of by Addy's friends. Addy had felt bad for losing her friendship with Natalie but there was nothing she wanted to do about it. Imprint
