The tale of the shadow phoenixes

Chapter twenty.

As they headed home Leah and Tom walked in the front while James, Cole and Arianna walked behind Leah and Tom. “Look how their holding hands.” James said, motioning to Leah and Tom. “Makes me feel kind of guilty that we aren’t offering Arianna our arms.” In unison Cole and James both held out their arms to Arianna. Arianna laughed and took both arms offered to her. While Tom walked Leah home Cole and James took Arianna home.

“Goodnight.” Arianna said, when they had arrived at her house. “Goodnight.” The boys said at the same time. She began to close the door slowly. James gave Cole a look. “Well? You gonna ask her out?” James asked. Cole glared at him, then sighed. James was right. Better sooner than later. “Hey Arianna wait!” Cole called. Arianna opened the door with a curious look on her face. “Would you like to go out…to dinner with me tomorrow?” Cole asked, holding his breath. Arianna shrugged. “Sure, I don’t have anything planned and besides…I always have time for one of my friends.” Then she shut the door. “Yes!” Cole exclaimed happily. James smirked at him. “Well goodnight Cole.” James said. Cole was left to go home alone. He was very excited. She’d said yes!

What Cole didn’t realize was simple…. “…..and besides…I always have time for one of my FRIENDS”

Anyways…next chapter coming soon!
