Jump Then Fall: Chapter 3

When Nina left I plopped down on my bed and decided I would save unpacking for tomorrow. I was too tired from my strenuous journey to be bothered. I pulled my blackberry out of my aqua Tory Burch bag and dialed my mother's number. After three rings she answered.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hello mom, it's me, Kat." I said.
"Oh. Hello Katherine. Is there something that you want?" she responded coldly.
"No, I uhm... I just wanted to tell you that I'm here at Nina's. The flight went well and everything. I just thought you'd want to know." I told her.
"Oh. That's all? Well I'm really rather busy so I'd rather you not waste my time with such unimportant calls. Goodbye Katherine."
And with that she hung up. I was so angry and hurt that I decided to go for a walk to clear my head. I walked down the hall to Nina's room and poked my head in.
"Hey. I'm just going to go for a walk to look around and stuff" I told her.
"Sounds good, bring your phone so I can call you if I need to. Let me know when your back." she said not facing me, as she was unpacking her clothes.
I stomped down the stairs and slipped on my Juicy Couture flipflops I had left by the door. I skipped down the red brick stairs and made my way down the street.
I probably should have grabbed a sweatshirt because the sun was gong down and it was getting rather chilly. All I was wearing was my Juicy flipflops, short jean Abercrombie shorts, and a thin tanktop. I walked around for about an hour, just trying to clear my head before realizing that I had no idea where I was. I looked up and nothing seemed familiar. I had never been to this large city before and I had no idea what to do. I didn't want to seem like a child and call Nina so I turned around and started walking in the opposite direction. I must not have really been paying attention to where I was going because before long I walked right into someone.
I stumbled back a few steps and looked up. A tall, muscular boy with dark brown curly hair and the most striking caramel eyes was looking back at me.
"Ohh God, I'm so sorry!" I gasped. "I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay. I'm sorry too. I wasn't paying attention either."
Then he smiled at me. And stuck out his hand.
"I'm Sidney, by the way."
What an unusual name, I thought. But he seemed nice. So I shook his hand.
"Kat. Kat Pellington."
"Well it was nice to meet you Kat. And I'm really sorry for running into you like that.", he said with a cute crooked smile.
"Yeah. Me too." I grinned.
He started to walk away until I called after him.
"Wait! Sidney?"
He turned around. "Yes?"
"I know this probably sounds like a stupid question. But do you know where we are?"
He laughed. I knew he thought I was stupid. "Uhm... Tannehill Street. Why?"
"Well I'm sort of lost. And I was hoping you could help me find my way back", I said with a pleading smile.
He smiled the crooked smile again. "And where do you live?"
Shit, I thought. It would have been helpful if I had asked Nina what street we lived on. Maybe he knew about that hockey dome across the street.
"Uhm... I know this sounds stupid. But I don't know. We live across the street from this silver hockey dome thing, if that helps." I said hopefully.
His eyes lit up when I said this. "The Igloo?"
I thought Nina had called it that. So I went along with it. "Yeah. That's the one."
"Well follow me then, I'll lead the way.", he responded happily.
