The rest of the week went by like a breeze. We just swept through it so easily, and really, it was a lot easier than I expected. Which is odd, because being a senior is anything but that. I always have a test, student council meeting, or a club meeting at some point.
The week went by fast, and the weekend finally came. I was done with finals, I had aced everything, and I didn't have any big tests coming up. Finals had drained whatever energy I had left, so I took full advantage of the weekend. I got the rest that I needed, and the relaxation came to me.
On Saturday, I'm just sorting through my laundry. I cleaned my room, did my homework, and I did my chores. Granted, it kicked me in the back, but I wanted to get it over with so that I wouldn't have a list of chores building up.
When I'm done with the last shirt in the basket, my phone rings. The caller ID identifies as Sophia. I perk up and pick it up immediately.
"Hey, belle. What's up?" I ask.
"Hey, Ray. Hate for this to be last minute, but I wanted to ask. Are you free?" she asks.
She's planning something. I can sense it. I walk over to the dining room. "Yeah, I'm free. You lucked out actually. I just finished folding the laundry," I say.
Sophia laughs. "I'm one lucky girl. I always call at the right time. So, since you are free, I would like to make an offer. My mom's out at a meeting today. My dad has a potluck at the police station, and Anthony is hungry. I'm making dinner tonight, and I thought of you. Want to come over for some dinner and chilling?" Sophia asks.
My mouth waters at the thought of Sophia's cooking. I swear that I'm drooling a little bit at the thought of her food. Nothing beats her cooking at all.
"What are you making?" I ask, curious to see what she has to offer.
"Pastitsio, souvlaki with tzatziki, spanakopita, and galaktoboureko for dessert. All from my grandma's cookbook that she gave me. Sound good enough?" she asks.
Oh gosh, stop the torture. Sophia's Greek food is the absolute best, and it's even better when it's her grandparent's recipe.
"Wow. That sounds heavenly. Let me ask my mom," I say, pressing my phone against my chest. I walk into the kitchen, where my mom is wiping the countertop.
"Mom?" I ask. My mom's eyes shift over to where I'm standing.
"Yes, Ray?" she asks.
"Sophia's making dinner tonight, and she invited me over. It's Greek food, and she made quite a bit. Can I go?" I ask.
I can see a little bit of envy reflecting in her eyes. Even she wants to have some of Sophia's food.
"Did you do your chores, Ray?" my mom asks. I nod.
"Yep. I did my homework, made the bed, folded the laundry, and swept," I say. My mom smiles at me out of satisfaction.
"Since you've done everything, you can go," my mom says. I smile.
"Thanks, Mom," I say, and I press the phone back to my ear.
"She said yes," I say into the phone as I'm walking to my bedroom.
"Yes!! Hell yeah!" Sophia cheers, and I laugh.
"I'll be there in 20 minutes. Sounds good?" I ask to confirm.
"That's perfect. I'll see you soon, Ray," she says over the phone.
"See you soon, belle," I say, and hang up.
